        Doesn’t matter if you pay or not the attempt to sway votes with gifts, prizes or money is specifically illegal.

          Of course, but you’d need to be missing part of your brain to ever think he WOULD pay. Also, what is illegal for a working yank is not illegal for the epstien class

            Doesn’t matter, it calls to question the legitimacy of the election and no international body that isn’t directly corrupt would accept them as legit leadership.

                  … so you think other nations are going to stop interacting with the United States if the US legislature is installed via bribery and corruption?

                  Has that happened for any other country? Let’s look at the 2025 Corruption Perceptions Index list, and you tell me which countries are getting kicked out of the UN or cut off from international diplomacy.

                    No one said that.

                    No one is getting kicked out or cut off. Please point to where I said or implied that.

                    You can read into it wherever you’d like to fit your ideology but losing trust isn’t just getting kicked out of shit it’s losing deals and getting trade reduced because you can’t be trusted which I might add is already happening. Soft power matters and this administration should be learning that lesson but they almost certainly will not and it’s going to cost us in his phrasing “bigly”.

      “You’ve made your ruling, let’s see you enforce it”

      Where does political power come from?
