      Honestly, that’s a much more respectable sum than what politicians usually get bought for, especially considering how profitable the payout for bought politicians are.

      Still absolutely vile that it’s legal, or that people can be bought without consequence. But finding out they were bought for a couple grand donation is saddening.

      He’s still going around telling that the solution to all economic issues is “Drill, Baby drill.”

      All he did say was that electrical cars are good but also gas cars.

        Right but trump doesn’t actually believe anything that isn’t immediately beneficial to him, personally.

        “Drill baby drill” was a Sarah Palin line that got good results and so he stole it. He doesn’t even know what the original context was.
