Rosie O’Donnell offered $2 million in cash to senators willing to vote against tax reform

[zimmer]

Offering money to a lawmaker in exchange for changing a vote, or voting a particular way, is illegal.

Rosie McDonald’s bribery attempt should be made an example of. It’s a felony.

Democrats are used to committing felonies. Even murder is not out of the question. Seth Rich's murder is unsolved....

Shines a very bad light on Collins and Flake ... ha ha ha.

We know that all Senators make their real money through lobbyists, but Rosie just called out 2 senators that she believes can be "bought" openly (makes you wonder what gave her a reason to think so low of these senators). :lol:

Well, Flake will be gone soon anyway.

Rosie, her millions not withstanding, has "white trash" written all over her.

Sounds like bribery to me.

But then again.....so do large donations from PACs (et al):doh

Despite the tweet I highly doubt that federal charges will result. This will be treated like Madonna's BS about "thinking of blowing up the White House".

Wow I love the Rosie outrage. Too bad you can't have it for what really matters the Putz Commander "bone Spur"

So, if I'm reading you right, you're squarely placing the blame for Rich's murder on republican false flag black ops.

Not a very smart move from the woman...but this is a woman that has driven her partners and her own children to suicide...so...she has a pretty ****ing low bar.

Sad to say, but she does serve as a pretty honest face for the Democrat Party.

As if every corporate and billionaire campaign donation via pacs and superpacs aren't a bribe by another name.

So now we are attacking Rosie's freedom of speech? Just kidding, we all know that money shouldn't be considered free speech. She will need a lot more than that if she wants to be taken seriously. The tax cuts themselves will benefit Congress much more than a measly 2 mil. That's part of why they voted for the thing.

That wasn't the only thing that Madonna threatened to blow.

 

[haymarket]

What about language placed in the bill to get Bob Corker to vote for it? How is that not any different than a bribe for all practical purposes?

Money=Speech,

this is the country we live in. Bribery is an American hallmark tradition. I see nothing to cry about when we live in a Democracy that is up for sale, legally.

Yeah, we all know hes just trying to be dramatic. But this seems like a good time to make an example of someone. Shes probably violating Twitter new rules too by harrassing Senators and committing crimes.

Thank for the reminder. I never did collect on that promise.

Hmm... do you see this as Rosie's attempt to (conditionally?) support the campaigns of republicant Senators?

I dunno. I gotta see if she meant it as just saying "clearly you politicians are whores... here's some money" or if she was actually offering it as quid pro quo. Hard to tell from that tweet.

So true.

Rosie McDonald’s made an overt attempt at bribery of two public officials.

PAC here nor there... she did not donate to a PAC, hers was an attempt at bribery.

 

[year2late]

Rosie should do it the way it is normally done. Through a Super-Pac.

It all should be illegal.


But what Rosie did clearly sounds illegal.

Yeah... just because Democrats do it... it’s OK.

A lot like the perversion of the DoJ, FBI, State, and IRS... what’s a little corruption... so long as it’s our guys doing it for our party’s benefit.

What Rosie McDonald’s did is illegal. She does have one out though. Do you know what it is?

Except she closed that door.
