Ah, but SCROTUS informed us it's not a bribe if you get it after the fact!

But yeah, anybody who thinks Trump will pay anyone is at a level of delusion that has to be chosen.

@MaryAustinBooks@mstdn.social @idyll@c.im We have a couple options. One, we add this to the charges Trump faces in a special Nuremberg-like tribunal, where immunity and Supreme Court precedent don't apply. Or, two, we try him for violating 18 U.S. Code § 597, in a regular Article 3 federal court, but AFTER dragging the six corrupt Supremes before the special tribunal. We should reject the idea of letting him get away with anything.
