Commit First. Legislate
Later.

Welcome to the sordid art of political retrofitting, where the omnipresent stench of cynicism wafts through the hallowed halls of power.
Think of this not as a guide, but as a dissection of a twisted playbook that turns democracy into a playground for the unscrupulous.
Here, laws are as tangible as a mirage in the desert, a mere suggestion for those whose ambition outweighs any moral compass.
In the universe of corrupt politicians, the mantra is simple: Commit first, legislate later.
Why bother with tedious permissions when a swift swipe of a legislative pen can retroactively absolve your transgressions?
The first act in this treacherous theater is the bold embrace of unlawful deeds.
Imagine you’re a child intent on sneaking out for a wild night, with the law masquerading as a parent—a parent oblivious, knitting away while you plot your escapade.
Politicians thrive in this chaotic limbo, flaunting illegal activity with a conspicuous bravado only to spin the narrative later.
Did you generously accept that suitcase of cash, fresh from an unnamed benefactor?
Fantastic! After all, no one really asks where the vote-buying dollars come from as long as the right changes are funneling into your campaign coffers.
The second act springs from the grinning depths of what might euphemistically be called the “Update.” In the world of these charming rogues, to ‘update’ is to invite conspirators into a grander scheme.
Award your cousin a contract?
Reverse-engineer the bidding process until it's a one-horse race.
When a scandal looms large, slap a “Changing Times” label on it—making your latest bout of outright theft seem like a revolutionary leap forward.
Why be mired in the muck of ethics when you can bask in the glow of "visionary leadership”?
Here’s a tip: make every crooked act feel inventive, like flipping the latest tech gadget so everyone’s too dazzled to notice the sleight of hand.
Ah, this leads us seamlessly to the morally ambiguous third act: Surveillance.
Have you ever been tempted to breach the privacy of your rivals, voyeuristically trolling through their texts?
The law is a mere obstacle to those who see themselves as guardians of a supposedly greater good.
Just shout “national security” or “data integrity” with righteous indignation, and watch the world open doors previously barred.
To the corrupt politician, the more laws you trample, the more of a patriot you become.
It’s treason wrapped in a flag, served as a celebratory toast to your brilliance.
But the crown jewel of manipulation lies in the audacity to rewrite the past.
Ah yes, the pièce de résistance.
A scandal isn’t a stain on your legacy; it’s a canvas just waiting for your brush to turn it into an epic saga of triumph.
Redirect the narrative so that being caught red-handed transforms you into an underdog with heroically flawed character.
It’s an Instagram-filtered reality where the public is none the wiser, guzzling your spun tales like a thirsty traveler in the desert.
Belief is malleable, and truth is publicly installed décor—tweak it, twist it, and sell it as anything but what it is.
Finally, kick back on your metaphorical throne, feeling the warmth of adoration pour over you like syrup on a stack of pancakes, even as the citizens unknowingly fund your decadences.
Sure, as a politician, you’ve disemboweled democracy for your benefit, yet somehow, you’ve convinced the masses to clap for you while you dance.
Nothing says "disgrace" like a former public servant waving their ill-gotten gains in the face of their constituents, the unwelcome barnacle on the ship of state.
The lesson for you, the voter, is this: If you don’t learn to spot these antics—if you don’t cut through the smoke and mirrors—you’ll keep applauding your own exploitation while these corrupt politicos sidestep accountability like it’s a bad date.
Remember, it’s not the institutions that are inherently flawed but the politicians who dilute them with loyalty over integrity.
The next time you see a public figure touting “updates” or “national security,” question whether they’re truly guarding the realm or merely feathering their own nest.
Corruption wears many masks, and it’s time you learn to recognize the true faces of manipulation hiding behind them.
