      There absolutely should be a penalty, fucking ridiculous that we have a system that defers serious legal shit to 7 individuals who aren’t even elected. 3 of which were appointed by an orange reality TV star.

      This is America. If we punished bald-faced corruption, what else might we have to punish? Insider trading? Police violence? Violations of people’s civil and human rights? It’s a slippery slope, friend!

      You can bet your ass there would be huge penalties if this guy was a Democrat.

        If he were a Democrat his own party would be falling all over themselves to denounce him; but because he’s a Republican it’s just par for the course.
