Bribing Lake?

[George K]

I wonder where this discussion took place. Was it in a "1-party consent to record" state?

[jon-nyc]

Seems staged.

Above all, she’s a grifter.

Let's see what DeWitt says. He must address it somehow.

Also, who here thinks Kari Lake wouldn’t sit out the Senate race for $1B?

[Mik]

No one offered a billion dollars. Shall we speculate on what you might do for a billion?

[Horace]

I am not for sale. Death before dishonor. Integrity is not the most important thing. It is the only thing.

She said she wouldn’t for a billion dollars.

She said she wouldn’t for a billion dollars.

So she knew it was being recorded.

You could affect a lot of change according to your principles, with a billion dollars. Buy a mainstream newspaper or something. Also, a billion dollars affords you the freedom and perspective to realize how silly your principles were in the first place. The desperate attempt to fashion meaning in an existence constrained by finances. Who needs principles when you're rich?

I'd definitely vote for Donald Trump for a billion dollars. Possibly twice.

Hell, I'd even be tempted to vote for Nigel Farage for that much - from the safety of another country, obviously.

Okay, this has to be staged or AI generated.

Dude, you don't regularly deal in business with people who record their conversations?

No, not really. I hardly do anything via the phone any more - it's all video link, which can be recorded, or email.

Obviously, she was the one who brought up 1 billion, not him. The conversation sounded kind of bogus to me.

At a certain level (and it wasn't much level), I swam with sharks. I recorded every in-person office conversation and several of the phone calls. I also saved any important emails to thumb drive.

[Mik]

She hath a lean and hungry look.

[Jolly]

In other words, he did it.

[Horace]

Decent anti establishment cred, and the anecdote is probably true.

Lake is a loser. Maybe this is about getting headlines? She lost in 2022 along with most of the MAGA crowd, including losses in 2020, and 2018, and soon…2024. When will the GOP wake up? Perhaps in 2028 when it’s DeSantis vs Pete Butt.

Yup.
