this shit doesn't move the needle for me at all. i couldn't give less of a fuck about trump paying daniels and then technically not recording it properly or whatever. who cares.

the motherfucker is literally on tape begging governors to fix the 2020 general. and then separately inciting a mob to try to overthrow the federal government and install himself as a fucking dictator. how about we try him for actual crimes that matter at all.

LOL!!!

No human being believes any of what you write.

I watched a video about this and the guy made a good point:
Start small.  Get people (trump's base) used to the idea that Trump is being held accountable for his crimes.  Start off small and work upwards.

Tho i doubt this is an actual strategy.  The various criminal cases are all ongoing in parallel and its unlikely they're strategizing together.

Has anyone bothered to check whether a county DA can prosecute a federal crime?

Unless there's more evidence we don't know about, that is exactly what the county DA is checking.  Its a lot of confusing nuances.  Hence why he hasn't been indited.

He may not be able to be indited in New York and this criminal case goes nowhere.  But Trump is playing it up like he's definitely going to be arrested.

Regardless, it’s irrelevant to Trump’s legal woes. He did pay her money in a possibly illegal manner.

Sure. I'm just responding to honk's bizarre suggestion that Daniels is more credible than Trump on this matter. I suspect she only is because honk personally dislikes Trump.

Well that got me thinking.  Is she?

She lied about a single subject: the affair.  And we don't know which thing she said is the lie and which is the truth. But she has said the truth. 

Trump has lied.  Then he's doubled down on lies.  Then he made up a new chart to justify his lie. (One example). The man doesn't like saying the truth and often will simply double down on a lie, even if its easy to disprove, just to save face.


So on one hand we have SD who has lied and told the truth about one thing (that we know of) but we aren't sure which is true based only on her testemony.  We can infurr if we take Trump's payment into account.

On the other hand, we have Trump who will lie consistently and stick to it.  So by being a consistent liar, we can trust that he's likely lying when he presents information.


So I guess the question is: who is more trust worthy?  A liar who keeps lying, or a liar who also admits the truth without revealing which is which?

So Trump paid hundreds of thousands of dollars for something that never happened?

Doesn't seem kosher with "The Art of the Deal".

Did the "ARREST," happen?

Answer - NO

Does anyone know whether he posted the material?

Answer - NO

Just more "keep busy posting BS," tripe eaten up and repeated by the mindless.

Here ya go.  Since you're an idiot.

Summary;
Trump didn't get arrested and more reporters than protestors showed up.

Guess Trump isn't popular enough to take off work to protest for anymore.

Summary: More fake news.

I didn't realize Trump was in the news profession. He was the one whining that he was gonna be arrested Tuesday.

And you were there in person hearing him say that?

And, even if he did say such a thing, you would believe him?

He literally posted it on Truth.
I think he even sent out emails.


So yes.  I believe he said such a thing.  And so did others.

Demonstrating a lot of people believe fake news is not really helping anything.

So Trump is Fake News now?  Good!

Oh hey, Trump is going to be charged with election related crimes on Tuesday.

EDIT: Apparently this indictment will be related to Stormy Daniels hush money payments.

Yeah but so far the only info we have is from Trump himself.

I wouldn't mind him being arrested.  But they should do it on a Thursday, so that his followers are all ready Tuesday, take their vacation days or sick days or what not from work, then when it doesn't happen, go back to work Wednesday then BAM, Thursday rolls around and they arrest trump and no one is in the streets to demand his release.

The Supreme Court, which has a 6-3 conservative majority, will make a final ruling on the cases in June.

Very nice. Can't wait for my Biden bucks.

I fully expect the court to side with the banks on this.

A nearly limitless profit stream is a conservative wet dream.

I can understand altering words to make it make sense to current child audiences.
Like changing "he was acting gay" to "he was acting happy" for books written when gay meant happy and not homosexual.

But beyond reading comprehension for children, I don't see the need to edit.
They're products of their time and its important for people to read and see how others were thought of in the past.
They need to critically think about race, for example, and these books help with that.

Gay doesn't mean happy? It has been synonomous with happy for as long as I remember.

It is but its hasn't been primarily used that way for several decades now.  So a 10 year old may be confused and use the current meaning instead of the one we know.  Which will give the wrong idea.

Why should we allow ten year olds to be blind to proper use of language within context?

Because language changes.
The proper use of language also changes with the time.  And its always great to teach kids about older usages of a word or phrase, but unless they ask (and why would they if they know the word) they'll just make assumptions.  Which isn't what you want when they read.

3. They flew 3 of them across America during Trump's time undetected. 

Begs the question, if they were undetected, how could anyone possibly know?

I heard reports that they learned of them from spies inside China.

I guess I'm assuming all the super powers have the satellite super power resolution we have. Balloons just seem so quaint and 1800's even at 50-60k feet. Especially with all the hysteria around UAP's, mystery super sophisticated tech and such.

But maybe sometimes spycraft requires unexpected old-school methods.

Think of it this way.

1. All sattelites are tracked.  ALL of them.  Everything from like a few mm in size that's around the Earth is tracked to avoid collisions.  So spy sattelites are hard to hide.
2. The balloon was higher than any plane we have.  So it had a chance of being in that area of "Too high to hit, not high enough to be tracked".
3. They flew 3 of them across America during Trump's time undetected. 
4. They're slow but low powered and low tech so if they're captured, not a whole lot is learned.  A
5. And you can claim its a weather balloon.  Which would make shooting it down an act of aggression, legally.

Honestly its pretty ingenius.  PLUS they get realtime reaction times and tracking range of the US border.  Essentially seeing how far they can get into US territory before a response. Which is super helpful in a war.
