      Comments about the president of the US receiving a bribe: 3

      My brother in Christ, there are a thousand other threads about Trump being corrupt full of people lamenting Trump being corrupt.

      But this post is like hearing Al Capone chastise Pablo Escobar over organized crime.

            Aside from anecdotal evidence, Snopes was unable to find any proof to corroborate this claim. We know that most major food labeling requirements occurred in the decades following Capone’s 1947 death. However, aside from infant formula, there is no requirement to label expiration dates in the U.S. All such labeling is done so voluntarily by food manufacturers.

            I didn’t know that about old scarface, I will be adding that to the list of fun facts right next to the fact that at least one Roman Emperor thought that he was becoming a god right between violently shitting himself to death.

            When you share a little factoids like this, you don’t think check to see if they’re true, this sounds like it was designed to be shared and to be viral, but nothing of whether it was fucking true or not, Jesus, fucking Christ dude do better on the Internet

        She had plenty of supporters, why do you think Bernie was shut out? It was just mostly the older and more centrist democrats, so not people on here.

          Because her supporters run the party.

            Your downvotes don’t change the facts, there was a decent core of supporters in the democratic party. You’re wrong when you say no one liked her. The fact that you don’t like that wing of the democratic party doesn’t change the fact that they’re around.

            And there was plenty of people who supported her in the caucus, which was 100% ordinary people voting with their butt. It’s fine if you don’t like her, but don’t act like nobody supported her. You and the people you talk to aren’t the entire democratic party.

              Nobody’s acting like “nobody supported her”. Plenty of people supported her, but she didn’t support them and so they should be called by their proper name:

              fools

          Not plenty enough to keep that orange turd out of office the first time and putting us all in this mess.

          It’s almost as though no one wants to hear from her anymore except a bunch of people who are so unforgivably out of touch that they think she’s a good messenger.

          It might be a good point, but she doesn’t deserve positive attention ever.

          This is a post about her and her tweet. If you want to discuss the Air Force Bribe, I’m sure there are thousands of simultaneous discussions happening at various points on the internet. Perhaps even millions.

          Sorry that this space isn’t dedicated to that, though.

      What is your point? Lemmy is full of Trump criticism. It’s the norm. One thread shitting on Hillary won’t change that.
