I think there might be a typo in the release date for Cheetah and Cheshire rob the Justice League. It says Wednesday, January 3rd, but that is a Saturday. Just wanted to let you know in case you want to correct it! :)

All of the money that changed hands in the Teapot Dome scandal totaled less than $10 million after adjusting for inflation, and it was considered so corrupt we still teach it in high school government classes a century later.
Corruption so pungent, it wafts right off the page:
Lobbyists who do pardon deals “say their going rate is $1 million. Pardon-seekers have offered some lobbyists close to the president success fees of as much as $6 million if they can close the deal.”

The media outrage that would have been generated if Joe Biden was slapping marble armrests on seats at the Kennedy Center - less than 2 weeks after his cronies added his name to the building - while Americans are struggling to put food on the table would have been measured on the Richter scale.
