      What or who is this "other choice" and what made you believe that this "other choice" would have been bought off with a $500 Ernest & Gallo Gift Card?

        Speaking quite seriously, there is no precedent in all of our history of corruption on this scale. I really think you need to go to post soviet Russia or post-colonial Africa to see analogs. And even those might require adjusting for GDP.

        Thank you for your attention to this matter.

                  That is disgusting.

                  Also, I hired a new chef and bought a yacht.

                  But anyway, yeah that's disgusting.

                      Seems legit.

                      WASHINGTON (AP) — When President Donald Trump’s administration last month awarded a contract worth up to $1.2 billion to build and operate what it says will become the nation’s largest immigration detention complex, it didn’t turn to a large government contractor or even a firm that specializes in private prisons.

                      Instead, it handed the project on a military base to Acquisition Logistics LLC, a small business that has no listed experience running a correction facility and had never won a federal contract worth more than $16 million. The company also lacks a functioning website and lists as its address a modest home in suburban Virginia owned by a 77-year-old retired Navy flight officer.

                          Really wish I could read what is on that truck! Streetview is from 2015, but same vehicles are there in the 2012 streetview, too.

                            Yes totally normal for a small company with no website and only handling "small" contracts so far, to get $1.2 billion. Reminds me of this.
