      Super PACs are so 2012. In 2024 SCOTUS ruled that officials are allowed to accept “gratuities” so long as they don’t directly say it’s a bribe.

      Unless it’s for the President. Then they can just say it’s a bribe.

        I forgot about those rulings. This SCOTUS is really set to mess up a lot in the coming decades. Hopefully, it can be reigned sooner rather than later

          Is that a regional way to say guillotined?
