I have read that Bidumb is taking some heat from his own leftist base because he has not coughed up the 2 grand stimulus check he promised voters in GA if they vote demoRAT. II'm sure this influenced a lot of low information voters in GA .My question isn't this the equivalent to vote buying which my understanding is illegal. 18 U.S. Code § 597 - Expenditures to influence voting U.S. Code Notes prev | next Whoever makes or offers to make an expenditure to any person, either to vote or withhold his vote, or to vote for or against any candidate; and Whoever solicits, accepts, or receives any such expenditure in consideration of his vote or the withholding of his vote— Shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than one year, or both; and if the violation was willful, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than two years, or both. Have politicians exempted themselves from this like so many things
while it may be the law... IMHO I do not believe anyone will do anything... right now they seem highly motivated to bend or ignore the Constitution in near every way... and after all that time with proof that so many did such things and NO PROSECUTIONS... I do not see them starting now... even if near everyone writes, emails, calls... etc and demands action... cause it sure looks like even they believe their illegal... with the troops and fences n such...
That will give you an idea of just what campaign promises mean. That was one of his idiotic strategies to motivate the donkeys EVERYWHERE to vote for him, not just the Georgians. Mouth moving? Eating or propaganda are the choices there.
Ah, but he doesn’t control the money, or the Congress... Nancy and her Gang are to busy trying to impeach the last guy, to worry about spending 100 billion bucks to feed the poor and jobless.... Chuckie didn’t promise anything to anybody either...
votes are bought every election by all parties. The promise when they are in office they will do something for you. you believed them. they screwed ya. you'll get screwed next time as well. After awhile, it no longer hurts.
I am no lawyer-- if one is out there maybe he can explain why this is not considered a crime "Whoever makes or offers to make an expenditure to any person, either to vote or withhold his vote, or to vote for or against any candidate; " While campaigning in Georgia on Monday, President-Elect Biden ... Biden Says $2,000 Checks Will "Go Out the Door" if Democrats Win in Georgia .. Sounds more than just a fake political promise --a maybe , a could be. quid pro quo
Come on MAN - Dem Ward 'heelers' always carried 'walking around money' to buy votes - this go back to - or before - Tamnmy Hall
Quid pro quo Joe ,, he's been at it for 50 years and has gotten away with it ,, if they try charging him now ,,, he'll just dummy up , and claim dementia,, and get away with it ,,, just like before.
The reason I brought this up--- Trump was accused of quid pro quo soon after taking office on false charges by the dims. In Bidumb case, however there are provable charges (he is on tape) dealing with the Ukrainian government and now blatantly promising payment for votes. Yes back room deals have been going on all along but they were kept in the dark. Seems the dims have immunity to any kind of accountability so why hide it. SAD
