Senate Democrats have introduced legislation that would let ordinary citizens and state attorneys general sue a president for money obtained through corruption.

Senator Alex Padilla and Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer unveiled the Anti-Corruption Bureau Creation Act on 30 July 2026 at a Public Citizen forum in Washington.

The bill would create the first independent federal agency dedicated to policing corruption across the executive branch. Its sponsors describe it as a direct answer to what they call the unprecedented self-dealing of President Donald Trump’s second term.

    Yeah if it passes I’ll upload a video of me sucking my own dick.

    So tired of the games man. "Look, LOOK something might change

    Oh, except its democrats that did it so it will never be passed with a majority republican government.

    Sorry about that.

    Headline next week " Senate Democrats issue a bill that would end child hunger, introduce a cap on credit card interest, cut student loans to manageable levels AND give free healthcare to every citizen!!"

    Yeah I sure bet they fucking did because they know that shit will never, ever pass.

    It is tiring. It is 100% mental masturbation. Its a waste of time for all involved.

    Had they wanted this to be different they could have had the shitty court system actually hold him accountable for the 4 years they were running the show.

    Know why they didn’t do that? Because suits stick with their own.

    But that’s alright they will introduce the Hold Accountability for Trump act in a couple of months that they know won’t pass either.

      I agree everything you said. But on the off chance that Willy Wonka makes some actual chocolate… do we do proof or bans on these kinds of things?

      Also, chuck schumer in a body suit was not a mental image I needed.

        I suppose I should say I’ll upload a video of me attempting to suck my own dick lol not a chance in hell I’d actually be able to physically do it

        I’d take a ban though being banned from politics probably would not be the worst thing in my life.
