Holy Fuck!!!! When Senator Joni Ernst of Iowa was confronted at a town hall by terrified constituents worried that Trump’s healthcare cuts will lead to death, she said “Well, we are all gonna die.”

The Constitution bans US officials—explicitly including POTUS—from accepting things of value from foreign govts. Ben Franklin famously gave up a gift from France as ambassador.
