It's not a bribe, it's a gratuity. No wonder Trump wants to eliminate tax on tips, it's how GOP politicians make money.
This is 100% why. Otherwise it would be like the promises to the Muslims in Michigan or the rest of the morons who naught the lies.
Deny, defend, depose.
Heritage Foundation President Kevin Roberts said Thursday that his group will spend $1 million to pressure senators unwilling to back Pete Hegseth
How exactly? He is spending it on what? Attack ads against Republicans?
American politics is all about the warchest of a politician. So any politician is buyable. So if you spend enough money you tend to get what you want. Which, surprise, ends in a aristocracy of rich people.
Someone needs to tell them he's with Project 2025! Republicans TOLD ME they knew NOTHING about Project 2025 and Didn't even LIKE it!
Because Project 2025 policies are best executed drunk
