It’s a clear violation of 18 USC 597: https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/597

Couple of interesting things about this: this covers both the supply side and the demand side of the bribe economy; it’s illegal to offer the bribe, and illegal to accept it. Both are punishable for up to 2 years imprisonment per count. So if the US actually were a nation of laws, that would mean approximately 360 million years of prison for the fat orange traitor, and up to 2 years in prison for everybody who votes Republican thinking they’re going to get $5,000 for it.

Of course, we’re not a nation of laws. Clearly. I mean, Trump has violated the law pretty much every single day (sometimes multiple times per day) that he’s been in office, and nothing negative has happened to him. We’ve all just accepted that our president is a traitor, and that’s just the way things are.

sigh, same. :(

God I miss having a president that wasn’t a traitorous, Nazi scumbag piece of shit. :'(

Good. Like Lt. Aldo Raine said: “You see, we like our Nazis in uniform. That way we can spot 'em just like that.”

She did. It was, however, mysteriously very shaken up. No idea how that happened.

It’s at least evil clever.

I was chilling on the couch watching tv when my roommate came home. She left her purse on the kitchen counter, then came to join me on the couch. I realized after she sat down that I was thirsty, and I’d missed my opportunity to ask her to grab something for me when she was in the kitchen. So I sent a text to her phone, which was still in her purse on the kitchen counter.

She groaned, then got up to check her message:

“Hey, since you’re up anyway, can you grab me a soda from the fridge?”

I remember when I was a senior in high school back in the late 90s, my biology teacher mused one day that ours might be the first generation to not die of old age. I don’t know if I’m anywhere near as optimistic now as he was then, but it is incredibly exciting to think about. There have been a slew of discoveries over the past 20 years that have been building towards this, and it’s all been very fascinating. No idea if this is the grail or not, but it certainly seems like an important piece of the puzzle.
