#3 Always blows my mind how cheaply our pols can be bought. $55k is not a lot of money.

#8 ^ She is cheap by politician standards but she appears to be out of her husband’s price range.

#9 The official photo does sort of look like Jadis the White Witch of Narnia making a guest appearance as a puppet on the kid’s show Lazytown.

#14 The shoe that hasn't dropped yet is the clean-up management of FTX (John Ray) going after "clawbacks", the return of all these payments, like the Madoff trustee.

#15 Just remember with SBF & FTX, you can't con an honest man (person if you prefer).

#16 Yes #14, all these dems saying "I donated the money to charity" doesn't get them off the hook. If their intention is to claim that the money should be clawed back from the charities because they were just a "pass through," then the charities better beware.

#17 The "clawback" will likely be spent at Goldberg, Rothstien, and Silver. Just my guess.

#19 Go after the GOP'ers, too, especially McConnell, whose PAC got some FTX filthy lucre.
