In our democracy we are cheering a thing which of all things is most foreign to it and out of place -- the delivery of our political conscience into somebody else's keeping. This is patriotism on the Russian plan..... Mark Twain

"BRIBERY. LITERALLY. Trump doubled down: $5,000 checks for every adult — but ONLY if Republicans win the House and Senate. Why not just send the money NOW? He's been promising these checks for years — $0 sent. Because it's not about helping you. What a joke. What a criminal. The statute: 18 U.S.C. § 597 makes it a crime to offer money 'to vote or withhold his vote.' 52 U.S.C. § 10307(c): paying or offering to pay for voting — up to 5 years in prison. It's literally in the law books. "Cost: $1.2 TRILLION. Tariff revenue so far: $167 billion — paid by YOU at the checkout, not by foreign governments. His funding plan: tax you at the store, then bribe you with your own money. Congress never authorized a dime." And these same Republicans took student loan forgiveness to the Supreme Court and KILLED it — relief for working families in need. Now they want to mail $5,000 checks to buy your vote. No more blatant corruption and hypocrisy exists. They shouldn't even be a party anymore. It's an abusive bigot cult. 71% of Americans call tying checks to an election inappropriate. Only 13% believe he'll actually pay. It's not a dividend. It's a price tag on your vote."
