      For local politicians usually it isn’t even that much, selling your soul for often five to six figures. It’s not like they can retire on that kind of money.

        A lot of those motherfuckers are selling us out for four figures, especially at the local level.

        One of the most depressing things about all of this is just how little of a bribe it actually takes.

      As somebody that lives in utah, no they really didn’t get their payday. And there are seriously pissed off and their pride is injured. One of the guys was the head of the Senate and pretty much a career politician that had no fear that he would lose his election. And then he backed this and all of the people in his district said nope not on our watch. It’s pretty amazing actually. The shit that Kevin O’Leary was saying about the people here was absolute fucking dog shit ridiculous. And I’m actually incredibly surprised that this actually happened. I’m ecstatic about it but incredibly surprised.
