With an AI fabricated video, a paid hack journalist, and a few crooked FBI agents... you could probably scare someone into doing anything

Turn the tables on them. You can be ethical with a sinister dark side for revenge.

Yes, but I also believe I would be Arkancided for it, so I remain in engineering.

Yes. I wouldn’t get shite done and wouldn’t get reelected, but the only way I would ever agree to the office is to remain ethical. Not sure how I ever got elected in this scenario as I would need to have promised nothing to anyone in order to reduce pressure.

Yes. Next question. LOL

As a 30–40-year-old I might've given old Hunter Biden a run on the partying side.

As a happily married 50ish and having seen what we have seen for quite a long time, I have no doubt I would keep my nose and private time clean.

I’d sleep with every young girl they threw at me and then reveal their tactics to the world.

I did it all for my country to expose corruption!

I’d be just as sorry as the rest of those SOBs.

Without a doubt. Happy with my simple life as it is. I would still carry my Constitution in my back right pocket as I do every day and still pull it out when some fool tries to trample any of our liberties. Family included.

I like to think so but it would be very difficult to not get worn down and give up.

Remain? Bought, sold and hung out to dry before they enter the halls of Congress

You're a devout Democratic Socialist....you're devoid of any desirable ethics or righteous morality.

James O’Keefe made an interesting point a while back.

He said, “If your price to be corrupted isn’t your life, then you can be bought.”

Nope, and I wouldn’t even try. I would show up with my hand out

This.

I knew a really genuinely good dude that ran for and got elected to SC house. Knew him and his family for years before he ran. He lasted two, maybe three terms and gave it up. Couldn't get anything done hardly and wasn't willing to be dirty or play with dirtbags.

It stunk, he was the kind of man you need in that position.
