Hello. I like to observe what's wrong with governments and then try to come up with solutions. Not saying I will ever have the power to change anything, nevertheless it's fun. And today I wish to talk about how to prevent presidents from being bribed. I say that Americans should impose incredibly harsh sentences on a president and the person bribing him. I mean a minimum sentence of 40 years imprisonment if they are found guilty. I believe this would work because of the nature of the people involved. Unlike the average people who sometimes commit crimes out of passion or other forms of impulses, the president and the would-be briber are rational. They know what they are doing and they know the risks involved. And they have calculated that the odds of being caught and the resulting punishment are small compared to what they will get if the corrupt deal goes through. So, if we tell them that now there would be an extremely harsh sentence, this should greatly reduce the instances of presidential bribery. And if they try to bypass the law by going through a third-party, for example, if the briber goes to the president's spouse or his son, and then give money to this third-party, there will be an even harsher punishment. I say life imprisonment for all parties involved for trying to circumvent the law like that. And not only that, all three people's assets will be seized by the government. All this money will be awarded to and divided between the person who tipped off the authority about this deal, and the person who provided evidence to help the authority successfully prosecute the criminals. And if these two people are the same person, then he gets all of the money. This way, people know that not only will they be doing the right thing, they will also get quite wealthy rooting out corruption. This will work better than the authority working alone to try to catch bad people. This huge financial award will really incentivize people to watch presidents and would-be bribers like a hawk.

So, what do you think of my idea?

Until we can burn the south down and reconstruct it like we started under Sherman none of it will matter.

Why do you hate black people so much?

I don't. Who do you think is going to do all the burning and retake the land afterwards?

Wipepo

Who do you think is?

ok manson

I think I just had a stroke reading this

but the person who does the "tipping off" could be the mastermind of the entire thing tbh

Do you mean that he gave money to the briber to bribe the president? I mean in theory its possible, however it's unlikely in practice. The briber would not only go to jail for 40 years, he would also lose all of his assets. So it doesn't matter how much money the mastermind can give him, because the briber would lose all that money if he is caught.

because the money he gives the briber is less than the money he knows he will get from the presidents and bribers assets
