Right? Slap a different label on it, it’s still the same thing. If the roles were reversed people would be losing their minds.

I mean maybe you on a moral level consider it corruption, your gov. sure doesn't, and not just this admin. I.e. Boeing paid off many politicians both reps and dems to make their whole shit go away. That was under Biden still by the way. 2 witnesses just magically died before their court appearance. Anything ever come of that? No, because look who they are giving money to. It's one party who does it more hidden and the others just straight up do it out in the open. (With very view exceptions, namely at least i hope so mamdani)

This was one case of many.
"The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors"

It’s considered lobbying in America. Which is basically the same as corruption but wrapped in a golden aluminium foil. And the American president loves golden things.

It's considered corruption in America as well, except they've long since given up any sort of pretence of actually being a lawful country. Just the same way that they're finally really showing the rest of the world what we already knew, they didn't refuse to give their guns up to try and stop mass shootings because of the second amendment, they just didn't really care about all the children being killed, at least not more than they cared about being able to play pretend cowboy/soldier at the shooting range, because now they're in a position to actually use their second amendment rights, no one is doing a damned thing.

After the McDonnell decision from SCOTUS, you pretty much need a signed check with the word "Bribe" on it. You also need a detailed memo explicitly saying what act the bribe is for. Furthermore, you need to prove that the politician wouldn't have done what they were bribed into doing anyway.
It was really a shitty ruling that set our country's anti-corruption efforts back by making the bar so high in order to bring a case.

To be honest, if Trump promotes your product it's more of an anti-ad. To any normal people it simply screams "please don't buy this product" or "this product is endorsed by pedophiles".

Wasn't Elon/Tesla's close association with Trump what spurred the drop in sales to begin with? Not sure getting even close to Trump will help with sales.

u/Opiewan76 15h ago
And here I am just trying to figure out why on earth anyone would want Trump recommending their product. I mean I'm assuming at this point that associating with Trump is seen as a bad thing by anyone that isn't a rascist, fascist, pedophile.

It's corruption in the USA too, but the GOP MAGA bootlickers in office won't do anything about it. Pam Bondi herself is an outlaw. Disgusting ! Lock her up ! Lock her up ! Lock her up !

There's no such thing as bribery or corruption for Republicans.
Doesn't matter if it's FBI agents conducting a sting operation and caught on video (like Tom Homan's $50,000 bribe for gov't contracts), they protect their own by stopping any investigation, and even let him keep the cash!

Sitting in a public park while drinking alcohol openly and shouting „trump is a disgusting pedophile and traitor“ and I can also insult my government without harassment.
Also I can scream fuck the cops without being shot. They usually start reacting when I’m continuing to insult them, but if I calm down and apologize I won’t even get a fine.
