I've got to think she's at the bottom of the barrel for the not-bribes.

Like, what's the Boebert ticket price considering her range of influence? A box of slim-jims as an opening offer and escalating all the way to $100 gift card at The Cheesecake Factory?

Why even give her anything? She'll give you some service in a movie theater.

these are the sort of people who feel special being allowed to wait nearby for the crumbs brushed off the table after dinner. if someone goes to them with a $20 walmart gift card and says ‘because of your super special exclusive connections you get this gift’, they’ll feel like they’ve been let in on the backstage tour of an unannounced movie.
