      It always amazes me how cheap it is to buy politicians, as compared to how much spending they decide on.

      I do think the EU should more heavily invest in bribing USA politicians, especially since it’s been legalized. The ROI just seems amazing.

      And I wish that I was being sarcastic, but I’m not. EU pro democracy bribes and dark money pac’s could be a counter to authoritarian states their dark money/influence projects, helping out the embattled USA democracy. And when the USA fascists see that their pro democracy opponents are receiving as much/more money from slush funds, then they might be more open to the idea of making all bribery illegal again.
