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

Totally not a bribe!

Nancy Pelosi is worth $278 million on a sallary of $223,500 per year...

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

Now do Trump.

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.

See?? Housing is affordable. :P

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?

Whatabout licking deez nuts.

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).

"Culture"...movies, music, television, books, etc...thats one of America's biggest most important exports.

But really any art that's built for commercial incentive will always be, at some level, propaganda.

Oh for sure but she done been rich before that's my only point.

Expanded up a bit because it's not just one country.

why does this imply corruption? It just means he's rich

How much does his spouse make?

Anyone Learning Today about Ken Paxton:

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.

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.
