Rosie O’Donnell in a tweet late Tuesday offered millions in cash to senators who vote against the Republican tax plan.

Her tweet called specifically on Republican Sens. Jeff Flake of Arizona and Susan Collins of Maine. Ms. O’Donnell offered $2 million to each senator to vote no. She then followed up telling Ms. Collins specifically to call if she wanted to negotiate.

Both Ms. Collins and Mr. Flake voted in favor of the tax plan. The bill goes back to the House due to a procedural issue, then assuming the revote passes, will head to President Trump’s desk.

 

Offering money to a lawmaker in exchange for changing a vote, or voting a particular way, is illegal.

I would think this would be Illegal but I don't know if it is.  I know it's illegal to offer a bribe to a police officer in an attempt to gain their favor or avoid a ticket or prosecution but I don't know if making an offer to a senator to vote a certain way is or is not.   It should be though.  I would think it would be illegal for a senator to take such an offer so maybe it is illegal and if so I hope someone calls Rosie on it.  She's so overcome with Trump derangement syndrome that, like many of the Hollywood celebrities, they have lost all capacity for rational thinking (if they ever had that ability in the first place) .  

I'd wager that neither Rosie nor most of the Democrats voting against the tax bill have even read it, understand it, or know what is in it or what it does.  All they understand is that Trump is for it, so they are against it.  Furthermore, I believe and it's sad to say, Democrats would rather see something bad happen to the economy and the Nation if it meant that it would be bad or negative for President Trump.  The last thing they would want to see is something be good and positive for Trump and the Republicans even if that meant the nation, as.a whole, would prosper also.  

Illegal or not there seems to be a totally different set of rules for Democrats and liberals than for Republicans and/or Conservatives and so far the Republicans seem unable to wield their political power to accomplish overcoming the swamp and the Democratic political hold overs not to mention the perceived fright the Republicans seem to have of the National Media and their opinions.  So I would not be optimistic that anything will become of it.

Well, Huma dropped Hillary after she didn't make her first Muslim/lady. So, Hillary is back on the market. You can almost feel sorry for Huma. After all she took for the Muslim team it only got her right back where she started, back with her pervy pedo husband.
