The trips include vacations in Indonesia and at the exclusive, men’s-only Bohemian Grove retreat, which were first reported by ProPublica last year.

    “I should have let everyone know I accepted a bribe. Not like you’ll do anything about it anyway, suckers!”

      The only Justice to be impeached in US history was Associate Justice Samuel Chase in 1805. The House of Representatives passed Articles of Impeachment against him; however, he was acquitted by the Senate.

        They’re the American Mullahs. I’ve been calling them that for a while and I hope it catches on eventually.

          I thought they were Muslim clergy. What am I missing?

            The Mullahs of Iran cannot be replaced no matter what they do. They are also the final arbiters on all matters.

              Gotcha. That’s a fair comparison.

    Shouldn’t this be “…acknowledges he should not have accepted free trips from billionaire donor”?

    I don’t know all the intricacy of US politics, but people in position getting shit-tons of gifts in exchange of “nothing, really, just a friendly gesture” should raise some eyebrows.

    I would be fascinated to see how this issue would be litigated up through the supreme court.
