I see where the petitions are starting on Change.org for an investigation into Rosie O'Donnell's bribery of Senators Collins and Flake in regards to their votes for tax reform. Having a net worth of somewhere around $100 million or so, she certainly has the means to pay out on her $2 million each bribes, so it's not like she made some outlandish, ridiculously impossible statement. Do you think she'll be charged with bribery of an elected official or will she be given a pass?

While I'd love to see Rosie behind bars, her illegal behavior recently will go unchecked as it would be too easy for her to claim that she was "joking," which is why an investigation won't even be opened.

Because bribes are often done via Twiitter by known comedians!

Somebody call Mueller!

This, although the other excuse "I was drunk" might have worked as well.

Clearly Rosie was talking about campaign contributions, those are legal.

You can't give a $2 million campaign contribution to a federal officeholder in the USA (nor to most state officeholders for that matter, although a few states like Texas don't have limits on campaign contributions if I recall correctly).

On a list of the 10 stupidest celebrities, she's high up on that list - perhaps even leading the pack

Rosie is not a comedian. She is a bitter old lesbian loudmouth.

I wish.

The depositions should be entertaining and enlightening.

Wonder if her lawyers could ask the politicians how they benefited from pacs and dark money pacs?

I voted no because any mildly intelligent person will realize that fat hog is terminally full of crap.
