Huhwhatcrazy
Corrupt GOP member. When will people wake up here?
XXXSabreXXX
Alkyone
So this is pretty much 'legal' and open bribery at this point. Politicians dont even need to accept money under the table lol
bbutrosghali
Marsha, Marsha, Marsha!
z3lfmoord
Has anyone actually called her?
zaniew
Yes. If you call now her voice mail is completely full
Whwat
The heck is going on with her mouth?
Muad
Photoshop, I guess.
HearMeFart
I really don't get this. How is this even possible? Where I'm from she would be thrown in jail faster than you can say "bribe".
BrayerIncognito
Buy them lunch and it's a "bribe", throw them a $50,000+ "fundraiser" and it's "lobbying"
DarthPalpatine
The amount of money in American politics makes me queasy.

Can anyone find a more unflattering photo of her? Seriously though she's probably getting paid to endorse anti net neutrality legislation.

Uhm, that is literally what this post is saying.

That's the face you make when you have money up the wazoo. Sure it's great , but it's not very comfortable.

If someone wants to, they can find an odd looking unflattering photo of any human being. it helps sell the message.

in Germany politicians are forced to resign if it's uncovered, that they used miles from frequent-flyer programs for private purposes

taking half a million from corporations would get them into jail

I remember her walking around a cookout at my family's church when she was running for office. Everyone acted like she was this amazing(1/2)

I'm not American but surely you should be angry at the insane system that let's this happen rather than the people that indulge in it...
thanatos777
I mean... I have plenty of anger for both. Porque no los dos?
BlandNotBoring
But we are focusing on the people who put the system in place. Those who voted for it...like HER, also after taking money. Lol. *c
BlandNotBoring
The system didn't just place itself with no help from humans. You focus on those who put it into effect. Or are trying to.
27yoUGLYvirgin
Why? By that logic you shouldn't be angry at murderers if murder becomes legalized.
madguillotine
That is a ridiculous analogy.

Why? It's about morals.

if murder was legal i'd single-handedly be responsible for cleaning up washington

If you had just stopped at "What about, Tad?" It would have been the funniest comment to me. Not that politicizing killed it for everyone 1

It's just if you stopped on the first line, anyone who didn't know would have to say out loud, "Tad?"

It's also who doesn't go out and vote for other candidates. And who refuses to step up and run for office.

The democrat party in TN is also super corrupt, especially in Memphis. You basically can't win.

No, it was simply a tone deaf attempt to make it positive, worked on about 5 people outside the clinton campaign.

ORCNOTPORK
Don't act like you wouldn't openly accept 6-figure bribes. Our anger should be directed at the legality of that practice.
SoftBonez
what? if someone takes a bribe we shouldn't direct our anger at them? really?
Sekolah
Also maybe get mad as well at the companies that already sell your info.
ThomasMontgomeryHaverford
Campaign donations aren't bribes. The candidate can't legally use that money outside of campaign expenses.Any policy quid-pro-quo is illegal

ThomasMontgomeryHaverford
...Donors are their fellow citizens and often they're also their constituents.
browniesftw
oh i would accept them. and then continue what i was doing and thank them for their donation
trubblebot
Yeah but then they stop donating. Gotta keep that gravy train rolling! I think Blackburn and others naively thought people wouldn't (1)
trubblebot
notice their vote, so they gladly took the money and voted the way they did not realizing that it will (hopefully) have consequences. (2)
27yoUGLYvirgin
Yeah because it won't have consequences, she knows that just as much as we do.
browniesftw
i mean, what could they possibly do? bitch about how i refuse to vote their way because they gave me money? i'd call them out on bribery
Housemaster
In a perfect world, yeah. However, doing that would lead you to having well-funded opponents during elections.
browniesftw
i'd consider it worth it, to actually be able to help people as much as you'd be able to in such a position
Housemaster
That's admirable, and it does happen sometimes. Unfortunately the reality of these political landscapes makes it unlikely and rare.
browniesftw
yep. politics these days is a shit show for the most part :/
DorthLous
You wouldn't reach that high an office if you don't show in lower ones how buyable you are, unless you're *the* exception.
browniesftw
pretty much how it is these days :/
shhep
What the fuck. I fucking wouldn't and I'm far from rich. Be angry at both, what the FUCK are you even talking about. Taking bribe is a crime
shhep
it's immoral and I could end up in jail. For a fact I have turned down contracts where the other side would only cooperate if I skim 10% off
shhep
the total sum and share it between us. I lost gas and food money doing that. And I would do it again. The fuck's wrong with you.
Housemaster
But how do you REALLY feel?
IFuckingLoveGoldenRetrievers
You suck
IFuckingLoveGoldenRetrievers
It's sad that this is the exception & not the rule. You see someone's true self when you dangle a significant amount of money in their reach

Blackburn is a staunch opponent of net neutrality in the United States, referring to it as "socialistic." wikipedia is free.
RHFiesling
so by that notion we should reintroduce open slavery as its good for captialism

Asking for donations is socialism?! The USA is getting weirder every day.

Free to use doesn't mean free to operate. Public radio also has pledge drives.

I hate how they confuse socialism with communism
mounty1
Communism is stateless/moneyless society, and has never existed. All the suffering has occurred under socialism reaching for communism.

Or Socialism with things that aren't in general.

I hate how they use socialism as a blanket statement to scare anyone into disliking something that is good for them.

Dont you know; every right winger is a fascist and every left winger is a communist!

They've been ingrained from birth that it's bad. Most don't even know what it is. Or that the best communities/countries are socialist. 1/2

Socialism has nothing to do with helping people; it's about the State owning the means of production and distribution.

That's communism.

Carnes28
Because while it sounds great in theory, it doesn't work in practice. When everything is shared, everyone gets less, and there's still the
thisnameistaken
Socialism isnt communism. I live in a capitalist government
Carnes28
They are very similar and communism, generally, is the next step after socialism fails. Socialism is where things are "earned," but the
Carnes28
imbalance comes from not getting a fair wage, and/or from inflation that results from "creating" more $ with nothing to back it up to pay
Carnes28
privileged few at the top that have more than their "fair share." It's a system that invites corruption, you think politicians are bad now,
Carnes28
give them MORE power. There isn't enough $ for EVERYONE to have everything they want. College is a perfect example. In the US, if you took
Carnes28
ALL the money from every person making over $250,000, you wouldn't be able to pay for tuition for everyone for more than 3 years.
andrewtater
Because I shouldn't have to pay for someone else's decisions. But even as a Republican, I strongly support net neutrality.
TheRarispy
But we already pay taxes for other people's decisions anyway, so is there really a difference?
eggmuffin
While I can understand the sentiment, it's just that: sentiment. The reality is that we're all better off when we help each other.
andrewtater
So I should pay for some chainsmoker's cancer treatment? That was his decision to send my money
eggmuffin
You should help pay for it through your taxes, yes. Just like I should help pay for your physical rehabilitation following a car accident.
TheDeckhand
I think because when people hear socialism, they think communism
FNHuskys
I think Venezuela.
mounty1
When ppl hear socialism they think USSR, China, Venezuela, suffering. Except Imgur, they think rainbows, retweets, and Facebook likes
applesforjuice
Close, really they hear "taxes"
thisnameistaken
But when the money is going to health insurance anyway it kinda doesn't matter
TheDeckhand
I honestly wonder what would Ye price difference be between the healthcare plans now vs no healthcare cost,more taxes as which would be less
johnvictor
Some would pay more than if they had healthcare plans for not getting sick often, others a lot less. Overall it'd be more good is the thing

ThomasMontgomeryHaverford
Unpopular puffin: this is one of the most trivial issues ever.Next to tax reform, healthcare, foreign, or education policy, this is nothing.
BigSnicker
Their strategy is to overwhelm us with all of that pro-donor class crap. It doesn't hurt to fight back on everything.
ThomasMontgomeryHaverford
That makes literally no sense. All of those issues have real impacts on virtually everyone in the country. Selling Internet history doesn't.
ThomasMontgomeryHaverford
Also, it definitely hurts to "fight back on everything" - it shows a lack of direction and lack of policy coherence. Therefore, ignorable.
BigSnicker
No. You need to motivate everyone, and everyone has different passions. If some people get riled up over this, all the power to them.
BigSnicker
2/ Also, picture this from a Trump voter's perspective. They may not care about the poor, but they MIGHT just care about their own privacy.

3/ It's great for people like you to focus on more important issues, but don't underestimate the importance of things like this for others.
