The White House, through an outside event production company called Harbinger, is soliciting corporate sponsors for this year’s Easter Egg Roll, which is prompting major concerns from ethics experts and shock from former White House officials from both parties.
The sponsorship offers range from $75,000 to $200,000, with the promise of logo and branding opportunities, according to a nine-page document sent to potential sponsors and obtained by CNN.
But the solicitation for sponsorships marks an unprecedented offering of corporate branding opportunities on White House grounds running counter to long-established regulations prohibiting the use of public office for private gain.
So… where’s the money going?
Russia is always a good bet.
That’s where it’s coming from…
Supposedly the White House Historical Association.
The real question
The White House presents: Easter brought to you by Nabisco!
“Tonight’s State of the Union address is provided to you by…Coco & Eve Sunny Honey Bali Bronzing Self Tanner Moose. Command the room with a tan as bold as your dicta…leadership—Coco & Eve Sunny Honey: The Presidential Glow!”
Nestle might be all over that. It’s not like they care about their reputation among the well informed.
We aren’t that far off from everyone’s clothes looking like NASCAR suits like in Idiocracy.
I don’t think that’s a terrible idea for politicians. Let’s see who bought them.
This unironically should have been a requirement of all politicians from the very beginning. They need to publicly disclose their donors at all times, attempts to hide or alter this list can be punished with disbarment and removal of office.
Patch jackets are a great way to accomplish this (with other referencable lists online to support), they will even work as advertising for the companies. If there is an upcoming candidate that I’m a big fan of and I find out that, let’s say, Microsoft is a major sponsor of this candidate, that will cause me to a) find out why that is, and b) change my opinions of Microsoft, likely for the better if they aren’t doing something underhanded.
If we can’t remove sponsorships and donations and money in general from our politics, which, let’s be real here… We can at least make it more transparent.

Idiocracy really was a foretelling…
Didn’t he just do a Tesla commercial in the White House lawn? And people are pretending to scratch their heads over this?
Not even the first time he pulled this BS… Did a Goya commercial in The Oval Office.
He’s a grifting charlatan, and he’s not even charismatic. It’s baffling!
This Easter is brought to you by Supply Side Jesus and the Oligarchy.
This year’s Easter is brought to you by Carl’s Jr.

Finally an egg for my generation!
May I suggest Goya?

Is Super Dave still alive? I vaguely remember his cartoon
He passed in 2019
While that’s not surprising, it would have been fun to see him scream in “terror” one last time. Just not anything to do with Drumpf
Cadbury’s Easter Cream Egg Roll!
