21. They put out no bid contracts to their friends
Sat Nov 15, 2025, 02:53 PM
Nov 2025

Then don't care if the work gets done or not a lot of the time. Frequently the contracts are illegal in that they pay for illegal purchases, like campaign advertising or tearing down historical buildings with asbestos with no remediation.

But I'm sure there is a lot more going on including kick backs and bribes. But Justice Thomas and his right wing Nazi pals are just fine with it.

That kick back to Republicon Senators who were involved in the Smith investigation was in the "clean" CR bill. Also in the "clean" CR bill was the destruction of the cannabis market, the end to many food safety laws and of course the increase costs of healthcare.
