Hey GOP-MAGA Pre-Midterm National Elections Convention in Dallas, TX, Your Vote Buying Scheme Is Federally Illegal and a Federal Felony Crime

Vote buying is federally illegal and a federal felony crime. Even the interpersonal or public propositioning of others to buy their votes is an act of bribery and a bribery offer whether or not it is accepted by the subject of the bribe offer, or bribe. A promise to provide money or a money's-worth benefit or gratuity in exchange for a vote or votes is bribery and the promise to punish a voter as a consequence for rejecting a bribe or not complying with a request or demand to vote a particular way or for a particular political candidate is an extortionist threat and is extortion. By law, Trump cannot buy votes or offer to buy votes, nor, in any case, appropriate and allocate government funding (exclusive constitutional federal government authorities of the bicameral US Congress to do so, albeit illegally for this purpose). His promise to pay every US household, or voting-age member thereof, $5,000.00 if GOP majorities are voted into office in both houses, the House of Representatives and Senate, of the US Congress, is vote-my-way or the way-I-say voter bait.

Trump is an in-your-face, out-of-control lawbreaker, a brazen and unbridled scofflaw, who is accorded impunity for his lawbreaking by his sycophantic and groveling Department of Justice attorney general, director of the FBI and GOP-MAGA majority memberships of both houses of the US Congress and their leaders, and very often by the like GOP majority membership of the US Supreme Court. To them, our society is not that of the equal justice under the law of our Constitutional Bill-of-Rights Republic government of, by and for the people. Their majorities in the US Congress must be voted out of elective office as the derelict first-among-equals and ultimate lawmaking and enforcing national leaders come midterm elections day of Tuesday, November 3, 2026.

His offer, or newly termed "pledge," of $5,000.00 is voter bait, like chum (bait) for hungry sharks, and his promise during his 2024 presidential campaign to lower grocery and oil (fuel) prices, etc., and end US foreign wars [of aggression], and to replace Obamacare with better mass medical insurance ("...we have or are working on concepts," but, in fact, with less and nothing). Trump is a notorious BS talker. It is an illegal vote-buying promise and bribe.

The previous Trump-bandied political bait of a $5,000.00 public dividend has blown in the wind to nothing and nowhere
