    Supreme Court has ruled that you have to explicitly shout “THIS IS A BRIBE” then wink one eye while shooting finger guns and making that clicking sound with your tongue when exchanging gifts or money to be considered a bribe.

      The Supreme Court has ruled that this particular POTUS can do nothing illegal while performing an act of state. Since he accepted this bribe specifically as an act of state, it’s a legal bribe by their reasoning.

      Unless you’re a Dem, then it’s a bribe if someone says , “Hello” to you.

        Yes sir, I have it on good faith that this democratic senator received a bribe of emotional gratification when the Canadian delegate wished her a nice day, to which she replied “You too”, which is clearly indicative of some sort of illegal quid pro quo relationship.
