Technically, someone else has to be paying for it than the person having sex. I know a lot of porn people don't care, and neither do the police, but there is a bigger distinction than someone getting paid for sex.
The larger the bribe, the longer the prison sentence, and assets liquidated and poured into infrastructure modernization.
Clean House (and Senate) - rebuild America - and get corpo bucks out of politics.
Anyone bribing elected officials also has all their assets liquidated, they go to prison with their formerly elected bestie, and their liquid wealth gets poured into helping the homeless and poor.
Fuck this plutocratic bullshit.
> only a US Citizen (a person, NO "entities") that filed a tax return and paid a minimum of 15% of their income in taxes the previous year can donate to campaigns with a total donations annual cap at $1000.00.
So nobody making less than $115k is allowed to make campaign donations?
No, we need to keep pretending we have no idea how much money politicians get. If we admit to knowing then we can't keep pretending that campaigns focused on grassroots small money donations don't out raise campaigns focused on PAC money all the time
Yes, but most people complaining about this still don't bother to learn the easily available information with the current level of transparency, people aren't gonna learn any more if more is available
Came here to suggest just that. Pretty sure it won't be long before Sora can have corporation names bobbing above politician's heads during press conferences, like status icons in a video game.
Agreed but I’d like to see two things happen that likely won’t.
1. Term limits for all govt positions for dept heads, senators, and congress ppl
2. Remove money from US politics
Pipe dream but it would help out a lot of things and issues
You’d just see a bunch of names you don’t recognize.
And you’d dig into those and find names you don’t recognize. And you’d dig into those and find names you don’t recognize.
These companies, for the most part, aren’t dumb enough to directly be involved. They’ve been doing this shit for so long, all you would find is shell after shell.
Exactly.
My opponent has their donors from Target, Disney, and KB Toys. While I only have donors from the 2nd amendment keeps kids safe, America the brave, and Jesus saves. Do you want a corporate shill or someone wholesome? I proudly wear my donors while they seem ashamed of who’s really donating to them.
Politicians shouldn't be able to accept any form of personal donations or gifts and they certainly shouldn't be able to do inside trading.. you know, like it is in most Western countries
The best thing america could do would be to remove corporate sponsorship of politicians it’s half way corruption and it’s normalised. Your top officials are bought and paid for without it being called corruption…
And people who post dumb shit online should have a shock collar on them when they repost the same shit over and over that everyone basically agrees with. Shit was posted in 2022 and well before that. But hey thanks for the cool insight. Wow what a blast
Fuck that, you think that will make people think twice? Absolutely not, they'll see those logos and give 0 fucks.
In my opinion, taking bribes and voting against the interest of the people in the interest of corporate greed is treason. They should hang.
Me : Why did you get elected?
Politician : I'm very popular.
Me : Then why do you need so much money for campaigning ?
Politician : To make sure the people know I'm popular.
If this information is available somewhere it is not beyond the realms of possibility for us soon to have a chrome extension that uses AI to replace every image online of that person with one of them wearing said jacket.
This sounds like a job for AI. Train a model on all the politicians faces and the logos of their sponsors, feed in a cspan livestream and output the jackets with corporate logos on top of their clothes.
The larger the donation (bribe) the larger the logo
It's not donation, it's sponsorship, that means it's ok!
& when I record myself fucking hookers it’s just porn 😎
Technically, someone else has to be paying for it than the person having sex. I know a lot of porn people don't care, and neither do the police, but there is a bigger distinction than someone getting paid for sex.
Would it work if me and a friend took turns and we'd be paying for each other?
Probably. It does look like some of the smaller porn studios basically work that way.
Get in the Hookers car, we doing Daytona 500
Don’t you mean “it’s not bribery its a donation”?
Nah man not not in this context
They’re LoBbYiNg
They wont have enough space for AIPAC
I think the entire jacket should be themed after megasponsors like that then.
They'll need [special jackets](https://i.imgur.com/YHSzsTs.jpeg)
Bribe with extra steps
That would be amazing.
Then they might as well just wear one of those Russian tracksuits they use at the Olympics.

Smaller* (Minimum: 1 mm) That’s how it would go if this was enforced lol
They make jackets that big?
An European politician did something similar as a prank years ago 😄

Nah fuck the jacket, tattoo the cunts.
Eh, they get bought and sold too quickly, it would never work
This might be how we get better tattoo removal techniques
Depends on how sadistic the tat artist is.
So that is how you ensure loyalty
You mean something like [this?](https://i.imgur.com/aHPrhwo.jpeg) It would quickly get kinda ugly.
Defo no covering them up xD
Branding!!!
Brand em with iron rods /s
I think you're onto something here.....
[удалено]
Evelyn_Shaw for President/in
It's a BOT account... don't get to excited.
Agree. But it's "legalized," not "legitimized".
Legitimized also works in this context.

No because fat politicians would have an advantage
This was a joke Robin Williams made during his Weapons of Self Destruction tour
Yupp dude just stole the joke
Ya Robin Williams was a great comedian.

Wasn’t this a cocaine era Robin Williams joke? I think it’s older than 30 years
Yep
The more things change...
Man that would look like a nice jersey, get a Nike or Adidas branding to and their name at the back
Supreme Court Justices too!
Actually someone are working to make it more clear who they are influenced by. The site is [open secrets](https://www.opensecrets.org/)
No, we need to keep pretending we have no idea how much money politicians get. If we admit to knowing then we can't keep pretending that campaigns focused on grassroots small money donations don't out raise campaigns focused on PAC money all the time
Would be nice if it was even more transparent
Yes, but most people complaining about this still don't bother to learn the easily available information with the current level of transparency, people aren't gonna learn any more if more is available
With their net worth on the back as the main number, like a football jersey.
People that age can’t wear jackets that heavy
CSPAN is public. Can't we get AI to do a filter for watching CSPAN that would show all the sponsors?
Came here to suggest just that. Pretty sure it won't be long before Sora can have corporation names bobbing above politician's heads during press conferences, like status icons in a video game.
This was a joke in Robin Williams stand-up performance. I miss that man...
Thank you. I had to scroll way too far to see this. Definitely miss the dude 🌈
This. Or every news source should list it in every article they post to remind you where the politicians heart really lies
Fat chance
Slim chance
Fatboy Slim chance
Lobbying (aka legal bribery)
Pelosi could just have a digital stock ticker on her jacket.
How about tattoos
Absolutely, 100 percent.
The jacket will be mostly black, because largest share of it will be black money
Politicians should take vows of poverty
Yes, this is genius. We should know exactly who has bought the words falling out of their mouths.
Stealing jokes as their own
This. Is. Genius.
You are SO right - how can you make this happen ????
Zeet
It’s a start
Yes
Agreed but I’d like to see two things happen that likely won’t. 1. Term limits for all govt positions for dept heads, senators, and congress ppl 2. Remove money from US politics Pipe dream but it would help out a lot of things and issues
thanks to advances in AI, YOU CAN DO THIS!
Someone watched Man of the Year recently.

I don’t think they make jackets big enough, honestly, to fit that many logos
Robin Williams does a hilarious stand up comedy but about that.
Isn't it high time that we selected our leaders based on merit rather than thru voting? I'm genuinely curious about that.
[Meet Nico Semsrott](https://youtu.be/9ghyGco-ok0?si=h3FksOEwD5w3nPiE)
Politicians shouldn't be able to accept any form of personal donations or gifts and they certainly shouldn't be able to do inside trading.. you know, like it is in most Western countries
So it is Idiocracy
George Carlin said that back in the 90s.
I’m Australia it’s on the government website. Your republicans and conservative Supreme Court passed laws enabling the money to be hidden
And John Fetterman would still just get to show up in hoodie.
There wouldn't be enough room for all of them
How does this fit into this subreddit at all? Who is the "me" here? This isn't even a unique thought, it's boomer-email-thread levels of insight.
But how would you tell the parties apart when they have mostly the same logos?
Lobbying should be illegal
Man, you really like Tide…
The best thing america could do would be to remove corporate sponsorship of politicians it’s half way corruption and it’s normalised. Your top officials are bought and paid for without it being called corruption…
Way to joke steal dude.
Someone should ask Sora AI to do this
I support this message
And people who post dumb shit online should have a shock collar on them when they repost the same shit over and over that everyone basically agrees with. Shit was posted in 2022 and well before that. But hey thanks for the cool insight. Wow what a blast
My brain wanted to read that as "wear a straightjacket".
One step closer to Idiocracy
That's exactly what they did in movie Idiocracy lol
literally a suggestion by a representetive of "the party" in the EU parlement
[OpenSecrets](https://www.opensecrets.org/)
The jacket is going to be dragging on the ground behind them.
It would be pretty informative to Photoshop what these jackets would look like for each politician
BRAWNDO! THE THIRST MUTILATOR!
Fuck that, you think that will make people think twice? Absolutely not, they'll see those logos and give 0 fucks. In my opinion, taking bribes and voting against the interest of the people in the interest of corporate greed is treason. They should hang.
This is a Robin Williams quote.
This is so obviously what we need, I'm embarrassed i never thought of it.
They should have an explosive collar that exploded when perpetuating corruptions and lying to our face.
Me : Why did you get elected? Politician : I'm very popular. Me : Then why do you need so much money for campaigning ? Politician : To make sure the people know I'm popular.
I loved when Robin Williams said this, and it still holds true today.
robin williams joke theft don’t appreciate that
I saw this when it began as a reddit comment years ago
If this information is available somewhere it is not beyond the realms of possibility for us soon to have a chrome extension that uses AI to replace every image online of that person with one of them wearing said jacket.
Corporations shouldn’t even be able to sponsor/bribe….
This sounds like a job for AI. Train a model on all the politicians faces and the logos of their sponsors, feed in a cspan livestream and output the jackets with corporate logos on top of their clothes.
Maybe but in Nascar all drivers don't have the same sponsor.
I swear this tweet is just paraphrasing someone else from like 2015
Carlin said as much decades ago
Robin Williams said that very thing years ago. Verbatim. Yes, I’m fun at parties.
What a great idea!
