Apparently, threatening to expose Trump as a pedophile is more effective than giving his son-in-law a few billion dollars.
What's strange to me is that it's still working. I'm pretty sure if djt started his next speech with "Just to clear the air, yes I fucked some kids, but only the hot ones," exactly zero people would be surprised and 20-30% of US voters would argue it's the kids' fault for being so hot.
I almost downvoted this reflexively. Not because it’s wrong, because I really think it’s right, but because reality is so disheartening.
Totally fair. Feel free to downvote away if it makes you feel better; I get paid the same either way.
Omg paid Russian bots? On MY instance? The inhumanity!
A bribe gets you nothing after what you paid for it.
Blackmail has "interest" , everytime you do one thing so they don't disclose it, they can blackmail you about that too.
It's built into the system, the first bunch of times you do something, it's nothing and you're paid a lot. But after a few times suddenly your only payment is not being turned in for treason.
You gotta treat it like terrorists and fascists and just refuse to negotiate.
