re: #200 KGxvi
Who could have ever imagined that a highly leveraged, mostly incompetent, amoral fool like Trump could be bought off by foreign powers?
I think we need to be more aware of this possibility in general. Pundits and know-it-alls are always preaching about bribery by corporations and wealthy individuals, and for good reason, but foreign governments seem to rarely make the suspect list. Even a pipsqueak national government has resources that only the biggest corporations and individuals could match, and they are largely immune to legal consequences, though not to consequences in general.
