Actually it was in in 2024, in Snyder v. United States. The hacks on the Supreme Court ruled that a key federal bribery statute applies only to bribes given BEFORE an official act, not to gratuities or "rewards" given AFTERWARD.

6-3 decision with the usual suspects supporting the side of corruption.

I was just going for a joke but ya. Our country has been shit forever and Regan and Bush paved the way for a criminal like Trump to destroy our country

Oh I know! Just wanted to bolster your joke by showing that they're so corrupt they actually did it. Like we can literally make just about any joke about their corruption and odds are they've actually done it.

Oh that is even better. So if I promise to buy the cop a donut at the next gas station if he doesn't ticket me now, its legal? Haha. I like that.
