Proud to be a Texan. Trump bribing our AG took $35k. He bought Fla's for only $25k

[Bucky]

Now, I know you're thinking, "But Bucky, Florida's Attorney General is a woman... did you really think Trump was going to offer her equal pay?" If you do the math, you'll see Florida AG Bondi only made 71 cents on the dollar for doing the same job as then-Texas-AG Greg Abbot. And then he got a promotion!

1. From what I hear, Bondi is a cheap date

2. Reeling in the greazy dollars. Republican values on parade.

[Thinkingabout]

3. Wonder how many more of Trump connection of contributions can be discussed.

Probably it is Trump who should be investigated.

[IronLionZion]

4. He boasted of this in the debates and campaign trail

of how easily he has bought politicians in many places to help his business deals. He clearly didn't seem to think it was wrong.

This is the type of asshole the other party nominates.

5. Yep, Bucky, that has always annoyed me, they don't just sell us out, they do it for peanuts. nt

6. BP bought off all of the Gulf Coast AG's. Only Bondi didn't have to threaten BP first.

She must have done her deal early, which is usually not the best idea because you don't know how high they are willing to go.

7. Trump's entire candidacy is based on him personally making the sleazy deal.

Try reading some of his books sometime they are as incoherent as Trump speeches. If given actual power he will easily buy off Republicans and other Party Politicians. I thank God, gods, the Universe, fate and Trump stupidity that he has seen fit to insult a Federal Judge hearing his case over his ethnic origins. It makes the Republican dog whistles obsolete.

Just a little money dropped the right place does wonders. Trump buying up sleaze politicians reminds me that during the Vietnam war estimates that a million and half dollars were spent for every NVA and Viet Cong killed. It was suggested that amount of money would have been better spent actually buying loyalty it does seem to work for politicians. Being a delusional racist is not a bad thing if it keeps Trump out of the White House and the one percent can keep their money safe. No Trump

8. But Bucky, you hit it!

[DhhD]

9. There is a related post in the Texas Group with several sources to include the $35,000.00. n/t

10. So it's true -- everything's bigger in Texas ? nt

11. The best possible return on any investment

is buying a politician. Sadly, politicians are like hedge funds. The average person lacks the ante to get in the game.

[Fozzledick]

12. I think this is the real reason he's so mad at the Federal judge - he can't buy him off!

[mcar]

13. You Texans always do things bigger

Our Florida pols sell themselves cheap.

[SCantiGOP]

14. SC politicians aren't for sale

They give themselves away for free.

[onethatcares]

15. well,

we don't have a state income tax so she's one up on Texas here

[Fumesucker]

16. How can we expect our politicians to remain honest in the face of such huge sums of money?

The temptation is so great, you could buy a pretty nice used car for that kind of money.
