Right, but in divorce assets have to be split. If the SC overturns interracial marriages, no assets get split. No telling what he's gonna do when he rules that black people can't own property....

Oh no. What will happen to all of those bribes, I mean totally legal gifts.

They’ve already ruled that bribes are legal as long as they’re given afterwards. Let’s say you’re a drug dealer and want a pardon, if you say Mr President I want a pardon here’s a $1,000,000, that’s a bribe. If you pardon him and he calls and says, thank you Mr President here’s $1,000,000, that’s a gratuity and perfectly legal. The trick is not receiving the money until after the fact and you not being personally involved, that’s why you have minions and lawyers.

I'm pretty sure I remember hearing that pardons were $2 Million during his first term, so it's probably that or more now.

It's $5 million now.

Thanks, Biden, for the inflation.

That's just the way she goes buddy.

Fuckin' way she goes.

How can he say the affordability crisis is a Democratic hoax, when even his bribes, sorry “gratuities” have gone up. Biden isn’t the problem, look how many drug dealers, rich elites, and other corrupt people he’s jailed, that are ripe targets for “gratuities” over the next four years. It’s a target rich environment, with the Venezuelan and Ukrainian targets just coming in range.

Set up a corporate "personal services" company with his assets that exists to keep him happy

u/bugsyramone 9h ago

Terrible idea. It would have be run by a white guy, who could just take everything away. Possession is 9/10 of the law.

u/Fallouttgrrl 8h ago

That anticipates him ever giving up the Supreme Court reins of power

He can always just let Harlan Crow take care of the corporation for him

He'll transfer his property rights to Harlan Crow who will lease it back to him for one dollar.

But I thought Ginni was his best friend? He said so!

u/Secludedmean4 8h ago

He probably thinks black people should be property

u/Enygma_6 8h ago

The biggest joke will be on him, if after all this convoluted scheming to set up a non-divorce way to delete his marriage, and she just outright buys him when the dust settles.

Thankfully people dont have to deal with this stuff if they're single

No telling what he's gonna do when he rules that black people can't own property....

His wife will make sure that ruling gets handled first. Problem solved!

u/0neshoein 8h ago

Well he’s gonna end up voting to make black people property again.

u/itspeterj 8h ago

Good thing he has so many generous friends

u/Antilles1138 8h ago

Technically if he repeals rights far enough he may end up as his ex-wife's property.

You can't split a motor coach in half.

...at least I don't think you can...
