I don't think anything will come of it as John Oliver is loved by the left and the DOJ is only weaponized against the political right, but he clearly did attempt to bribe a Supreme Court Justice on tape.
That's not a bribe. That is a job offerI don't think anything will come of it as John Oliver is loved by the left and the DOJ is only weaponized against the political right, but he clearly did attempt to bribe a Supreme Court Justice on tape.
A bribe would be offering the money in exchange for a favorable ruling.I don't think anything will come of it as John Oliver is loved by the left and the DOJ is only weaponized against the political right, but he clearly did attempt to bribe a Supreme Court Justice on tape.
Nice try, but no. 18 U.S. Code § 201 is not limited to favorable rulings.A bribe would be offering the money in exchange for a favorable ruling.
I thought he already was getting trips and gifts and whatnot from those on the right. Since the DOJ is weaponized against the political right, clearly prosecutions will be forthcoming for those bribesI don't think anything will come of it as John Oliver is loved by the left and the DOJ is only weaponized against the political right, but he clearly did attempt to bribe a Supreme Court Justice on tape.
The difference between those gifts from billionaire friends and John Oliver's offer is the quid pro quo on tape. John Oliver spelled out explicitly how much he was willing to pay and exactly what official act he wanted in exchange for the payment.I thought he already was getting trips and gifts and whatnot from those on the right.

I'm not sure retiring counts as an official act. Either way, nothing will come from this.The difference between those gifts from billionaire friends and John Oliver's offer is the quid pro quo on tape.

Oh those billionaires had quid pro quo as well.The difference between those gifts from billionaire friends and John Oliver's offer is the quid pro quo on tape. John Oliver spelled out explicitly how much he was willing to pay and exactly what official act he wanted in exchange for the payment.
Such as what exactly?Oh those billionaires had quid pro quo as well.
Thomas said he might have to retire if the pay was not increased. After that he started getting other forms of compensation and wasn't worried about having to retire. The fact that he was not impeached for that blows my mind.Such as what exactly?

Why would the "what" matter to a weaponized justice system? They would just make something up right? What would Putin do?Such as what exactly?
Putin would make up some excuse, use it to seize the oligarch's assets, and then imprison or kill whoever it was. We've passed the 'make up some excuse' point. The 'use it to seize the oligarch's assets' is happening now. In the coming months we can expect Trump to be sentenced to prison and for the camera system to be mysteriously turned off before they find his body.Why would the "what" matter to a weaponized justice system?

Absolutely ****ing not! I'm offended that you even asked the question.you can't make a joke in America anymore ??
Ah so you have changed your tune then. I'm not surprised. Trump owns you.Putin would make up some excuse, use it to seize the oligarch's assets, and then imprison or kill whoever it was.

As for the billionaires who are friends of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, they're all bad, right? The same will happen to them.
There is pretty stiff competition in GD for worst takes. He might be the current #1 though. He's up there with old dutchy. Most of them are eye roll worthy trolls like this one. But he really gets going with the disgusting takes when it comes to women. But the local idiot is really trying hard to compete. Being the worse on the Jazz forum isn't enough for him I guess.Is Al-O just right wing AI designed to create the dumbest threads on forums?
New York has changed the game. Now not even a trial is necessary. Trump was found guilty summarily. The prosecutor said they found forms where Trump had claimed to be richer than he was and the judge declared him guilty without a trial. It wasn't even a crime being alleged but was instead a civil violation which let them ignore many of the pesky due process requirements. Only after Trump was found guilty were Trump and his lawyers allowed any defense in court as part of the sentencing process.This is America. Evidence and proof is necessary. That's why trump is in so much trouble. Lots of evidence and proof.
