We are talking about one of most openly criminal politicians in the USA. He has spent decades stealing from Texas. He just does not get paid in money to his bank accounts.
His total worth must be north of a billion dollars, given how long he has been in power. It’s distributed across family and hidden in dozens of ways.
I really hope for the Texans that they decide to vote in Talarico. Everything i have heard of him seems to be a good fit for the state. i do not approve of the amount of religion in politics in general, but at least Talarico seems to be an upstanding citizen. Paxton is just another old, rich, white republican with no morals.
Tommy Tallarico? Video game music mastermind, Tommy Tallarico? Tommy Tallarico, creator of Roblox Oof? Tommy "My mother would be very proud" Tallarico? World record holder Tommy Tallarico???
And some people in my country -- constantly plagued by institutionalized corruption but so soaked in escapist entertainment -- think American/Japanese/South Korean politicians are incorruptible, no thanks to the movies and Youtube videos they consume.
Pelosi was rich before she entered politics bud, they have family money like a motherfucker. Her Dad was the mayor of Baltimore, they've been a wealthy politically connected family for the better part of a hundred years if not longer (I haven't looked farther than a generation).

It’s ok, He’s a republican. Rules and laws do not apply to them anymore apparently!

Totally not a bribe!
Are there any republicans not corrupt?
Yeah they all lived in the 1800s.
Yes! Some are hyper-corrupt or super-corrupt instead
That's not true and you know it. Some of them are 100% open and honest... about their desire to rape children.
why does this imply corruption? It just means he's rich

Oh, well, I guess Paxton's corruption is okay then.

She's def used her position to enrich herself further but she can never say "started from the bottom now we're here".
Oh for sure but she done been rich before that's my only point.
Now do Trump.
Whatabout licking deez nuts.
So... You mortgage one in your portfolio to buy 3 cheap condos, and rent those out to pay off the mortgage and profit.
I don't get the scandal, isn't this how the system works?
Yes
