    Lots of money without numbers sound like scam, also even if you got lots of money , it doesn’t matter when your expense are sky high through the atmosphere with plenty of debt behind.

    Bromacho may not have had high IQ but he was no fool. Dude had the presence of mind and the self-awareness to find solutions.

    Comacho was representative of the best of those in his times. He should be honored and respected as wise.

    President Camacho was far more qualified to be a leader than the sack of vomit you lot decided to elect twice.

      Seriously, this is slander to a great man. Camacho not only seeks out the most qualified person he can find, he willingly steps aside to let him lead when he’s proved right.

        He also accepted in front of Congress that things are fucked up now due to lack of food. This level of honesty is rare in politics.

      In fact it’s quite the opposite. Terry is a former NFL player who looks like he could break all your bones with a shout, and even he was nervous about backlash but spoke out against unwanted contact after being groped. President Camacho would empty a machine gun into big orange’s face

      Infinitely of better character. Comancho didn’t know any better. And he learned better.

      This president is a complete piece of shit by character. Not a fraction of a percent of goodness in him. Doesn’t even like dogs. His redeeming quality is his arrogance and stupidity that leaves him unable to achieve his callous goals.

        Camacho saw his people had problems, he searched for the smartest man in the world, found him, and empowered him to make real change.

        That’s not something politicians do, for that you need an idiot.

    Surely everyone can see this is a lie? And if it isn’t, then it’s got to be illegally paying for votes. I can just see the SC ruling - ‘everyone should have known he was lying, so it doesn’t count as corruption’

      I think they’ve made very clear that they use the Nixon rule. If the president does it, it’s not illegal

        We are way past that, we are on to the might makes right rule.

        Who is going to stop them? That is the only question that matters to these super-villain gangsters that seized control of the US.

        I was hoping at least for like a Scorpio type from the simpsons when that happened, but there is still time.

      It’s a clear violation of 18 USC 597: https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/597

      Couple of interesting things about this: this covers both the supply side and the demand side of the bribe economy; it’s illegal to offer the bribe, and illegal to accept it. Both are punishable for up to 2 years imprisonment per count. So if the US actually were a nation of laws, that would mean approximately 360 million years of prison for the fat orange traitor, and up to 2 years in prison for everybody who votes Republican thinking they’re going to get $5,000 for it.

      Of course, we’re not a nation of laws. Clearly. I mean, Trump has violated the law pretty much every single day (sometimes multiple times per day) that he’s been in office, and nothing negative has happened to him. We’ve all just accepted that our president is a traitor, and that’s just the way things are.

      Yeah, even MAGA isn’t buying this one. It just reminds them of the promised $2000 DOGE checks they never saw.

      Why does it need to be a lie? It conveniently is more money than anyone on SSI is supposed to have in their bank account, automatically resulting in kicking everyone off that program for having too much money.

    It’s already my money, asshole, where do you think it came from in the first place?

    Also, I’d rather have healthcare for all and robust social safety nets, which are far more valuable than a paltry one time 5k payment that he’ll weasel out of.

    • Just doing some quick napkin math, the $5k payouts would cost around $1.25 trillion, pretty much guarantee at least 4 more years of no Medicare for All, and lead to absolutely no systemic change. M4A is estimated to cost anywhere from $2.5-$3 trillion per year. So yeah, he’s almost certainly lying but also even if not it’s a huge bargain for the oligarch class.

    Man what I would give for a Comancho ticket in 2028. We couldn’t ask for better at this point.
