Trump is literally killing anything and everything that fights corruption, follows the law, and gave us soft power because while we were big stupid bullies, laws like this made us mostly be seen as "trustworthy" to a lot of the world.
That period for US dominance is officially dead, and can't be rekindled by just replacing Trump with a Democrat.
Yep. That would literally be just the first step. Then we would - in no particular order - need to:
And much more. None of this is likely to happen, of course. So... We're kinda boned as far as international relations are concerned.
The term Treason should definitely get its meaning and severity back.
Billionaires and companies actively undermining the Government should be taxed to the highest bracket, fined on top, and where applicable broken up.
I'm sorry, raise taxes on billionaires??? Eliminate the billionaire class by reallocation of their wealth to these projects. They are 100% at fault here.
100% tax is still a tax.
I stand enthusiastically corrected.
Since many lawmakers are millionaires or billionaires, this will never, ever be made into law.
The Supreme Court must be so proud.
Jesus fuck, I hope Alito dies a horrible, slow, painful death, remembering how he was wrong to shake his head and contradict Obama at his state of the union address.
Now and forever: fuck every worthless, filthy republican traitor.
This actually doesn't matter too much! Because the very second a Democrat gets into the White House all the bribes that occurred during the Trump administration will be prosecuted.
Oh right! They don't plan on ever letting the voters decide Federal elections ever again!
Never mind.
There will be multiple investigations, televised hearings, and high-quality footage of foreign dignitaries being handed burlap sacks with dollar signs on them full of cash by the president himself. And nothing will come of it.

Senator Menendez: "My timing sucks!"

Obama: We need to look forward, as opposed to looking backwards.
Really?
Even if Democrats get in power, their move is to never hold Republicans accountable for any crimes. Whether that's corruption, war crimes or treason.
Its a good thing Democrats didn't aggressively go after the primary organizers attempted coup with the full force and weight of the US government in 2021. Or listen to their voters that they wouldn't vote for genocide. Or listen to their voters that they didn't want Republican border policies. Or listen to their voters that they were struggling to get their basic needs met.
I'm sure it a was a far better strategy to campaign with Liz Cheney. It was probably also a good idea to silence dissent on this matter across social media, effectively shielding Democrats from the information that their strategy was failing.
You mean hiring the strategist that lost to Donald Trump in 2016 wasn't the smart move? Weird, it's almost like every single one of us could have seen that coming.
TIL laws can be unilaterally, "paused."
It's like The Purge, except for paying off the foreign benefactors that helped install this government and securing federal funds to finance his inevitable scorched-earth exit.
Mmmh, now it's the right time to put on a big pair of fake moustaches and pretend to be a foreign official. I mean, it's not like they are going to be able to check since they are destroying themselves.
Perhaps we could tactfully deploy a parrot. “Swine bird! That is my private mustache, you naughty bird!”
The DOJ's "pause" on FCPA enforcement isn't a regulatory breather—it's a neon sign flashing "bribe here, consequences optional." Another masterclass in dismantling accountability infrastructure while media puppets frame it as bureaucratic streamlining.
Corporate boardrooms are popping champagne, knowing their offshore slush funds just got an unofficial immunity deal. Meanwhile, the legal system's pretense of impartiality evaporates faster than ethics in a lobbyist's lunch meeting.
This isn't governance. It's a firesale of judicial integrity to the highest bidder, with every dropped case another brick in the oligarchy's fortress. The swamp wasn't drained—it was gentrified.
No, but you see, bribing foreign officials is beneficial to America because it demonstrates how impressively wealthy America is, which in turn strengthens the US economy. The Radical Left will tell you that it's a cheap way to gloss over funneling federal funds out of the country to support the president in his retirement, forced or otherwise. They'll throw their hateful words like "treason" the same way they accused Daddy Musk's deliberate double show of unifying love as a Nazi salute.
BUT THE BIDEN CRIME FAMILY!
