“Any foreign adversary seeking to buy a President knows the price,” warns Rep. Sean Casten
A Democrat who sits on the House Financial Services Committee warned that former President Donald Trump’s inability to secure a bond for his $464 million fraud judgment makes him a “massive national security risk.”
Trump’s lawyers in a filing on Monday told a New York appeals court that he cannot secure a bond after approaching 30 underwriters.
“The amount of the judgment, with interest, exceeds $464 million, and very few bonding companies will consider a bond of anything approaching that magnitude,” the attorneys wrote.
The filing quoted an insurance broker who signed an affidavit stating that securing the bond is a “practical impossibility.”
I mean I agree.
I also think that we could do away with primaries and parties together, then put together a list of qualifications for all the available elected positions; each voter is required to when registering to list their qualifications; then at random we select a pool of potential applicants for a given campaign cycle. We then vote on the candidates and decide. Public office shouldn’t be a career, it should be a civic obligation like jury duty. Unless you have a valid reason to not hold office, welp, if your number comes up…

I mainly just don’t think that the majority of leaders are remotely qualified, nor do I think a career of seeking power qualifies you to wield it.
I’d rather you were President (so long as you meet some minimum qualifications).

I mean its not the qualification I would lead with, its fine.
Presidents can have a little penis, as a treat.
