    If it wasn't before in 2008, from now on "economic stimulus" is literally just Congress gladhanding free money to themselves, their friends, and their donors with maybe some pennies for the rest of us if we're lucky

        a small silver lining but I'm sure Pelosi will be dead by the time she actually needs a bunker.

        Luckily for us, all the people who designed and built the bunkers will be on the outside with us.

      When George W did it, they thought that you would have to hide the millions in tax breaks for your rich friends behind a $300 check sent out to everybody else. Now they've come to realize that they don't need the check.

    She probably has less than 10 years left to live, already has 120 million net worth and is still out here scamming tax dollars.

    Then how about you shut up and :vote:. Then we can have a #resistance ally like Nancy Pelosi to investigate this.

    Americans basically legalized corruption, then they top all the least corrupt countries lists produced by west. Like the guy pointing at his forehead, can't have corruption if you make it legal.

    Holy shit. Biden hasn't even been inaguarated and Dems are caught up in all these scandals coming out. There's Newsom in California who the people are angry at and wanting a recall. Cuomo has been outed for sexual assault, Biden himself had that leaked audio talking white supremacist stuff, and now Pelosi has been caught up in something.

    They are bound to fuck up what little bit of power they have left.

      Cuomo was accused of sexual harassment, not rape. Not trying to defend him but it's not good to exaggerate claims like that.

      Cuomo has been outed as a rapist

      didn't he also say the n-word on tv a few days ago?

      Edit: he did

      "They used an expression, that Southern Italians were called, I believe they were saying Southern Italian Sicilians, were called quote on quote, and pardon my language, but I'm just quoting the Times, 'n***** wops,' 'n-word wops,' as a derogatory comment," he said.

        He did, but the liberal mainstream media don't care cause he's not the orange man. They'll sweep that one under the rug.

            Good question. Corruption in our political landscape has been normalized since the Clinton years. There was a lot of corruption all through the Reagan era, but when Clinton came in, it became more normalized and seen as a normal thing that both parties do. We literally just elected a man to president who has bragged openly about taking money from corporate lobbyists and how it's not all that bad.
