Federal govt applying federal mandates about corruption to local/state govt officials is not some gross overreach of power. You have a myopic view about the federal govt bc you don’t seem to ever recognize any benefits it provides.
lol I make posts almost daily wrt all the draconian laws being passed in conservative states. I don’t make any posts whining about democratic policies bc they’re not trying to take away anyone’s freedoms bc of their interpretation of a 2000 year old book. Also, comparing people in a city not being able to do anything about their corrupt mayor to MAGAs across the US upset about Biden forgiving student loan are hardly comparable. Unless, of course, you view any of the things this administration has done as equivalent to open bribery schemes.
And with that, you reveal yourself. It's OK as long as it's your way of thinking and your idea of what corruption is. And it has to be nationally implemented so the right people can control folks. And of course, freedom is people doing anything they want because we can't have any boundaries there... except when it goes against that which you deem wrong. The most humorous thing is you think you're a freedom loving guy when what you really are is an authoritarian. It's sad too because you didn't use to be this way.
