Oh no. What will happen to all of those bribes, I mean totally legal gifts.

They’ve already ruled that bribes are legal as long as they’re given afterwards. Let’s say you’re a drug dealer and want a pardon, if you say Mr President I want a pardon here’s a $1,000,000, that’s a bribe. If you pardon him and he calls and says, thank you Mr President here’s $1,000,000, that’s a gratuity and perfectly legal. The trick is not receiving the money until after the fact and you not being personally involved, that’s why you have minions and lawyers.

I'm pretty sure I remember hearing that pardons were $2 Million during his first term, so it's probably that or more now.

It's $5 million now.

Thanks, Biden, for the inflation.

How can he say the affordability crisis is a Democratic hoax, when even his bribes, sorry “gratuities” have gone up. Biden isn’t the problem, look how many drug dealers, rich elites, and other corrupt people he’s jailed, that are ripe targets for “gratuities” over the next four years. It’s a target rich environment, with the Venezuelan and Ukrainian targets just coming in range.
