    "half the country"? :roflol:

    It was about 27% of Eligible Voters.

    Where do you get "half the country"?

    Is that RW Fuzzy Math?

    You’re right, I made a mistake more than half the country voted for Trump.

    And you have voted for the looser.

    How uninformed would you have to be to not know the constant accusations Trump is accused of on a daily basis.
    Obstructing Justice,
    Violating the Emoluments Clause of the U.S. Constitution
    Conspiring with Others to Commit Crimes Against the United States, and Attempting to Conceal Those Violations
    Advocating Violence and Undermining Equal Protection Under the Law
    Abusing the Pardon Power
    Engaging in Conduct that Grossly Endangers the Peace and Security of the United States
    Directing Law Enforcement to Investigate and Prosecute Political Adversaries for Improper and Unjustifiable Purposes
    Undermining the Freedom of the Press
    Cruelly and Unconstitutionally Imprisoning Children and their Families

    And the list goes on and on and you accuse me of a strawman post? Either get an education or stop your own strawman post.

    And?

    Trump is GUILTY of ALL of that.

    What was your point?

    Assuming that there was one.

    The original post was:
    We see it all the time with one exception. No one in history has been accused of hundreds of felony crimes, for over 3 years, with all accusations made by anonymous sources, without a single charge or conviction. This has become the boy who cried wolf after the first 6 months of the same ole thing over and over. Yet at every claim they are from these credible resources that somehow evaporate with the next accusation. I guarantee this will evaporate like the rest and Trump will be facing some other claim by the end of next week, as per usual.

    unless my maths is waaaay off this is not “hundreds of felony crimes”. Which is why I said “hyperbole much”

    Isn't this what you posted? You made the statement. You didn't know of any felony accusations? This is you, RIght? So you leave me know choice but to conclude your either not very intuitive or just posting hyperbole. So i gave you a few examples of whats been in the news and on these boards in just the last two weeks.

    And you come up with this?
    If you don't have the skills necessary to communicate on an adult level or feel the need to run to extremes because of some learning impairment, maybe this isn't the place for you.

    I was noting the total lack of substance in this popular but baseless Trumpster meme.

    You should not have had any trouble getting the point.

    But if you want substance, tell us about the big successes Trump has had with the Russians, or the Chinese, and let us know aobut how North Korea is dismantling its nuclear program, or Trump's lengthly list of legislative accomplishment...…...

    Actually, only about 20% of the people chose Trump. Trump did not win the popular vote, and when you count the people who did not vote at all, Trump's support sinks to about 24%, assuming that he has the same voters that he had two years ago.

    But the mid term elections made it clear that even that number is eroded.

    And there is no upside for Trump at this point, either.

    There is nothing criminal nor even wrong with spending money to influence a campaign..... a little factoid that keeps getting covered up in this discussion.

    Makes you wonder how is it, with only 20% of Americans voting for him, Trump is the president and Hillary, with overwhelming love and support (literary under both arms) is not? :roflol:

    Actually, Trump has won the Senate and solidified it; and the only reason Trump lost the House is because some 35 incumbent Republicans jumped ship early, making incumbent sets easy to flip (it’s midterms, remember?)

    True story. Democrats won **** but do enjoy the useless single brunch of the government for the next two years. Here, let me join you and pat you on your back, too :applause:

    No upside? My friend, I’m unwavering in my support and that’s a huge upside for the president. Trust me.

    Actually it is interesting. We don't know how much of Cohen's sentence, if any, was for the campaign financing guilty plea. The SDNY cleverly grouped all the charges into a single combined sentence. They were also coy in their sentencing recommendations. In the three pages describing the campaign finance activities, the word "illegal" is used only in the title to the section. This means the prosecutors can claim that they never said these actions were illegal, but only Cohen said they were.
