Rosie O'Donnell...

[Rightguide]

...attempted to bribe two United States senators to vote against the tax bill. She offered 2 million apiece for doing so. I'd love to see Sessions order her prosecution. A violation of 18 U.S. Code §201 in her case would carry a 15-year sentence in federal prison and a 12 million dollar fine.

What a mitzvah for the Trumpenfurher!

I think you are a Dump Bot. That's all you do, post threads kissing his ass.

The only reason you posted information about her is because she had a beef with him.

Can't wait to see him in orange!

Why should Republican fat cats be the only ones who buy members of Congress? They've just shown how lucrative that can be. Rosie's just thinking of cashing in on the Republican plan.

Actually, I posted it because she committed a federal felony. You'll be seeing him for two terms, so get used to it.

Umm, that URL doesn't bring up anything relevant to what you are asserting. Maybe try again?

I'm more interested in finding out what a prosection is.

Is it like a reverse-dissection...they add body parts to her?

I'm more interested in finding out what a prosection is.

A prosection is when a white male Republican punishes an uppity woman by transplanting into her a portion of a man's prostate, in order to obstruct her urine flow.

It's a prosecution minus the U.

Excuse me? You were the one that provide a bum citation, and I'm the one who is a numb nuts?

I'll look that up. That's going to tell me why buying a politician is illegal? I hope the Republicans and all those lobbyists in Washington don't find out about that.

Not analogous to Rosie. if you read her tweets you'd see she told Ben Shapiro to suck her dick, indicating she might already have a prostate. Ben replied by telling her she was already a felon and should be careful not to add sexual harassment as well.

The link was to the applicable law, numb nuts. You're a big boy now, Google is your friend.

No, it wasn't. It leads to a short blurb on the Political Doctrine. No relationship to buying votes at all.

When you insult people and it leaves egg on your face, does it hurt any?

Do you really think anyone takes you seriously here anymore?

I owe you an apology. I did post the wrong link of the two I had open tabs on. I edited my original post to provide this link:

Again, my apologies.

OK. My erased post points out your belated correction and was being written when you owned up to it.

I'm not afraid to admit a mistake when I'm demonstrably wrong.

Rosie probably should have just said she would donate the money to specific senators and given a nice wink. I think she was trying to make a point that some senators didn't want to hear.

Technically that's not an offer, of course. It's a pretty good parody on the promises the Republican Senate leadership gave Collins (and isn't honoring) for her vote. I can see why Republicans would be upset by it--it's sort of a mirror thing for them.

I'm surprised she didn't include Corker. What the Republicans did to assure his vote will, directly, in his personal pocket, net him over $2 million, I think.

And look at what little work Trump had to do to get $11 million in the transaction.

Yes, it ran through my mind how irritated Trump would be at the thought that she had millions to bribe people with.

She'll love jail unless they decide she's a man and send her to a men's prison and the prison riot it will cause could be fun to watch on CNN!

Tell me why it "technically" isn't a bribe offer?

Really?

The Forbes web site must have known there would be enough idiots out there that would need an explanation:

OK, Let's Talk Bribery*
Under*18 U.S. Code § 201,*bribing a member of Congress is, indeed, a crime. The statute prohibits anyone from "corruptly" offering "anything of value to any public official" with the intent to influence the official or an official act.
The word "corruptly" is key, because*in this context it means the accused must have the "intent to influence" a public official. In a hypothetical bribery case against O'Donnell over her tweets, the prosecution would have to*prove beyond a reasonable doubt that O'Donnell acted "corruptly," with "intent to influence" the senators.

This would be a tough standard to meet, especially because of O'Donnell's status as a comedian and frequent—and quite vocal—political commentator. She could and would likely assert that her tweets were not seriously publicly offering money to senators but were intended to be hyperbole, political commentary and/or performance art illustrating that*"there is a price," in reference to her claims that "THEY BRIBED [Tennessee Senator Bob] CORKER AND COLLINS" and that "they have been paid obviously."
In other words, O'Donnell could argue she didn't tweet "corruptly" but rather tweeted to point out*what she perceived to be corruption involved with GOP tax bill votes.
