    Politicians can legally be bribed after the fact now. Phew, what a relief.

    I guess step two is to decide exactly how many hours a bribe needs to be given, before doing someone a favour, for it to just be considered a gift.

      Just a reminder that bullets can be bribes.

        It depends on how they’re delivered. Generally bullets are interpreted as a threat.

          Vocabulary question X + shell + powder = bullet, what is X?

          Because usually the threat is that X will be delivered through use of powder the destination of the shell is ambiguous but not included in the delivery.

          When you deliver while (unfired) bullets it’s generally not considered a threat.

            That very much depends on how the unfired bullet(s) is/are delivered. Did we leave a bullet on the lieutenant’s pillow or did we give the politician a box of the latest match grade hunting rounds with a bow on it?
