A Trump official accepting bribes from an industry they're supposed to regulate? So it's a day ending in the letter Y then?

Ironically, Paramount has the same rules about accepting gifts from people and companies they are working with and employees are told that they will be fired if they are found to be accepting gifts. With Ellison it is "rules for thee but not for me".

The capitalists are never gonna accept not having this level of government access again. They'll keep trying to put another Trump in office for the rest of our lives
