    Yah. What’s the difference between $70M and $4B+?
    It’s only $3,930,000,000 more. There’s no real difference there.

      How tf are we going to root out corruption in the other side when we can’t root it from ourselves? Come on, we know each side has plenty of room for rightful accusations. If we root it out of our own, the other side has nothing within us to excuse it.

      It is crazy that the defense of a corrupt liberal oligarch boils down to “he didn’t sell out hard enough”

      Reminds me of Joe Biden, shilling for Israel for pennies on the dollar compared to his Republican peers.

        Did I defend him?
        Or did I point out the orders of magnitude difference. Not even mentioning that one sold books and a Netflix series after leaving office, while the other has literally solicited bribes and scammed his supporters with meme-coins, as well as selling shitty sneakers, and phones that won’t ever be released, and more while still in office.

          Hey now… Obama sold a phone… err excuse me… gave away phones to people that really needed them and didn’t profit off it at all and it literally helped 20+ million Americans have access to cellphone who otherwise couldn’t afford it, even to this day.

          Thanks Obama.
