Oh look - a blatant quid pro quo.
Supreme Court apologists have weakly been trying to excuse the Court's "gifts aren't bribes" ruling by pointing out that it still counts as corruption if the thing of value is given in advance and if there's an overt quid pro quo involved.
Both of those are the case here, so even by the Court's new abysmally weak standards, this counts as official corruption.
So who thinks anything will come of it?
Yeah - me neither.
So the US is actually banning people for daring to oppose mass murder.
This is such a grotesquely insane timeline.
