     @StillIRise1963 Pam Bondi, the nominee for Attorney General, gets $115K per MONTH from Qatar as a part-time lobbyist. PART TIME. You can be certain the rich will be able to buy their way out of any crime they commit if she’s in charge.

     @madeindex @StillIRise1963 @lobbycontrol Lobbying should be illegal. Politicians are supposed to be serving those who elected them.

     @CStamp 👍

     They are just serving their constituency!
     The lobbyists surely also voted for their candidate. 😋

     @madeindex Serve the best interests of the majority of their constituents then. Maybe more regular voters need to sit outside offices to bully elected officials into caring. @StillIRise1963 @lobbycontrol

     👍 Replacing them with regular voters might be a nice next step. I trust any of my regular neighbors more being president than any politician I have ever met or seen on TV 😀

     These so-called "people" (politicians) are so dangerous because they are very good at pretending that they care (similar to many of the super-rich I had the pleasure of spending time with 🤢).
