    Campaign hush-money is not dirt from decades earlier.

    Yeah I know, I've heard the talking points before.

    Go forth and spread your nonsense. Good luck.

    You and Trump are sounding increasingly angry and desperate lately.

    Well you can attribute that to it if you'd like, but the truth is I'm just bored repeating myself.

    All the MSM is doing is going in a circular pattern with their talking points hoping something sticks.

    Tell us more about how Trump and Putin conspired to rig the election. Haven't heard about that one in a while.

    Funny how the only examples of actual election meddling always come from Democrats.

    Because Mr Cohen pleaded guilty and President Trump has not. We don't sentence people without a trial. And frankly speaking we're not going to put a US President on trial over what is a very minor charge built on a very very weak case. Now House Democrats may choose to hold impeachment proceedings but should the weakness of the case carry over to that decision it will be easily defeated in the Senate and the Democrats will look petty for having brought it.

    Very Minor Charge = Directing the Commission of a Felony during a Campaign for President. But of course there will have to be a trial, as Trump never pleas to anything... Don't forget... Cohen, Pecker and Weisselberg will be witnesses for the prosecution.

    Just out of curiosity, what would you consider a Medium Charge? Vegas shooting? Katyn Forest? Cambodian Genocide?

    Yes campaign finance law violations are minor offences in the sense of how we historically pursue them, how rarely convictions are secured, and severity of punishment that follows.

    Oh I see. I don't blame you for running away from the Russia collusion thing.

    Glad you guys are finally listening to reality.

    Sure, because nobody EXPLODES the envelope of a normally benign law like Trump. When 92 year old Mrs. Irma Smedley of Cedar Rapids Michigan accidentally writes a check to a campaign for $3000, instead of the allowed limit, we can let her slide. When somebody running for the highest office in the land directs 2 large payments from outside the campaign to avoid reporting the transactions (even forgetting for a second what they were for), I just don't see that being ignored.

    Go Big or Go Home...

    Didn't he catch hell for using that offensive word in the past? You must admire him to emulate him as you do.

    They were always going to lose the house. They managed to win more Senate seats (the most important branch) and some important governorships. The Republicans are more than happy with the midterms.

    Trump funded most of his own campaign with $333,127,164. He only got $72,134,682 from other donations. How does he make money giving it back to himself? That is what you are alleging isn't it? That he made money from his campaign fund? So, again, how does he make money giving money back to himself? He took his campaign money from his pocket so he could put it back in his pocket and somehow he magically makes money? Maybe he saves campaign money by renting his facilities at a cut rate to the campaign.
