    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.
