    Slavery may have been abolished, but as politics proves, you can buy anyone in the United States.

            Let’s quickly forget that and go back to joking about prison rape.

          Slavery is still legal in the US now, they just need to be convicted of a crime first. Easy enough to find crimes to put people away for, and you can even selectively enforce laws against the people/race you don’t like

            Good thing the force behind enforcing laws and charging people as criminals is famously good-natured and held to the highest of accountability standards to prevent any possible corruption!

            Oh wait.

            That is not slavery, convict leasing was (worse) slavery.

            Okay but that still makes Taylor Swift owning Kanye illegal because she is a private person.

              I’m sure she could put some of that $700M towards buying a private prison and then bribing the cops, the D.A., and the judge to get him sentenced there.

              Or is that different because they’re publicly traded companies?

                Wait, so if Kanye gets convinced of a crime, T-swift could buy the private prison where he’s serving his sentence and then effectively own Kanye? Is a billion dollars enough to buy a prison? They can’t be that expensive, right?

                At least theoretically.

                IDK about you, but I can picture Kanye playing that from time to time and low key kicking ass far more than I can picture her doing it.

      Do you think Bloomberg could’ve won last time if he spent all his money?

      With a net worth of $55.9 billion, 2020 candidate Michael Bloomberg is more than 17 times richer than Trump

        I doubt it. People didn’t like him much.

          People don’t like Rick Scott but he spent enough of his money to get elected. And Bloomberg is 50 fold wealthier. And Bloomberg seems much more personable. So I don’t know.
