It's absolutely the best time to be a grifter.
Say a few magic words like "Daddy is coming." And "That'll trigger the libs". Wear a MAGA hat. Go on social media to create pure outrage porn like, "Look at how we used to live before OBAMA."
Then sell expired aspirin for 10x the price and buy a farm.
Revoke her citizenship, I guess?
Deport her (no due process, amirite)
Kidnapping is for everyone, now, boys.
That would take paperwork. It could be traced back to his orange ass.
Sending a buncha "alpha" male types in masks to kidnap people and "deport" them is much easier.
Trump used Stochastic Terrorism! Sadly, its super effective.
Well... Now that this has come to light, surely the law will be followed and the will be consequences!

The issue is that many american prosecutors are absolute cowards.
In other countries, some prosecutors actually do their job. The headquarters of the ruling Spanish Political party was just raided by prosecutors and the police.
Why do US prosecutors refuse to do their job? You break the law. You get criminally prosecuted. It's not that hard.
now that it is finally put to the test, cowardice seems to be an American trait not limited to prosecutors...
sadly it turns out that the USA is full of chicken hawks
Because win rates matter. If a prosecutor loses a bunch of cases everyone will assume they are wasting money and demand a new one. And/Or they are politizing the law to fulfill the agenda of another party or personal vendetta.
So basically:
Prosecutors are minmaxxing the meta, bro!
Can't expect the arbiters of the law to have principles and integrity and shit, that's unrealistic!
Yeah we need someone like “Big Balls” back in the government for some oversight
Fortunately, the Department of Justice is independent of the President, and from his first term there was no indication that Trump would seek to change that.
Kristi Noem is secretly a plasticized Kreepy Gnoem
80K? That's, what, a party favor's worth of bribes? Most members of this administration wouldn't even get out of bed for such a paltry sum.
The fact that all of our freedoms and rights were for sale is bad enough, but if you see the absolute bottom prices that were paid, it's a hundred times worse still.
Didn't we recently find out from some leaks or disclosures that you can essentially buy some politicians for as low as $10K? I can't remember the source right now
Yes, but you need access to get them for such a price. You can’t just walk in off the street with $10k and buy one afaik.
Of course not. There are rules. You have to be a white male, for example.
Or, a russian female. Also good.

Such blatant corruption. LOL. It's comical.
We all just have this pinned somewhere for easy access by now, right?
MAGAts love their corruption.
