Murkowski frames her accepting a bribe and saying "F*CK EVERY OTHER STATE" by saying she "rolled up her sleeves"

14. I was watching "Tracker" last night (Paramount+)...

...it involved someone being abducted and a ransom being demanded.

And one of the characters observed that the kidnapper might just take the ransom money, keep it, and demand more, without returning the hostage.

That meshes with what you shared. Anyone who gives Trump what he wants and is foolish enough to believe it's a binding agreement in perpetuity is probably not smart enough to be in Congress. It makes them an ideal mark for Trump, but not much beyond that.
