    Did they just make it legal for the president to be officially crooked?

      Citizens United was the first step to make it blatantly legal by being able to hide donations in a way that makes make it easy to give money directly to candidates from any source, foreign and domestic.

      Then that “it was a gratuity, not a bribe” ruling last week means anyone can just buy off politicians in the open.

      So as of this morning it is legal for a foreign country to bribe the president to have someone assassinated.

        Maybe. But Biden still has time for it to not be so cool for Trump.
