All I want to know right now is, what was their price?
So much less than you'd expect. I read a report years ago about John Deere lobbyists buying off senators and representatives about the "Right To Repair" bills that were defeated at the time.
The lowest payout was $500. Not $5,000. $500. That was given to something like 4 representatives. The highest payout was to the Senator from New York or Massachusetts for $250,000. The mean payout ended up being $15,000 to a total of something like 44 to 64 representatives and senators.
In this case I would expect the mean payout to be $50,000 because a couple of them took way too little and caved.
They were all safe, either retiring or elections far off.
This is the kind of shit that will make a 3rd party viable. Call it the progressive party. Democrats certainly aren't.

I respect what you're doing here but somehow I don't see threats against Democrats being taken seriously.
Well, I take them seriously. If no one else does, then that's on them. But even tho I'm republican, I am not gonna just sit around and watch people ask for dem senators address so they can go "behead" them or teach them what "violent revolution" can do.
I report, do my part, move on. I can only do what I can do.
You know, you can put this in every single message you send on Lemmy, and it doesn't change anything. Not only that, but you are on Lemmy, so most people already know this information.
Good on ya for trying, I guess. But it literally does nothing. Nothing at all is gonna change by you posting that. It's already public information anyway.
And your article isn't already public information?
True. Hey go ahead and keep posting your little list then. Still won't change anything.
