        Let’s quickly forget and go back to joking about prison rape.

      Slavery is still legal in the US now, they just need to be convicted of a crime first. Easy enough to find crimes to put people away for, and you can even selectively enforce laws against the people/race you don’t like

        Okay but that still makes Taylor Swift owning Kanye illegal because she is a private person.

        Good thing the force behind enforcing laws and charging people as criminals is famously good-natured and held to the highest of accountability standards to prevent any possible corruption!

        Oh wait.

        That is not slavery, convict leasing was (worse) slavery.

  Do you think Bloomberg could’ve won last time if he spent all his money?

  With a net worth of $55.9 billion, 2020 candidate Michael Bloomberg is more than 17 times richer than Trump

    I doubt it. People didn’t like him much.

      People don’t like Rick Scott but he spent enough of his money to get elected. And Bloomberg is 50 fold wealthier. And Bloomberg seems much more personable. So I don’t know.
