POLITICAL THREAD

[Levibooty]

It's pretty clear here that a majority of the people and bots that post here would rather discuss hypothetical crimes they allude to than the actual convictions that have happened in a court of law. For me that clearly illustrates how deep into the abyss they will allow themselves to dwell instead of facing the reality that is smacking them in the face. It is a perfect example of the old saying, "The first step in getting out of a hole is to stop digging."

This is a board on a sports website so it is only natural run away egos are prevalent and consume a great deal of actual thought.

It's f***ing bonkers that he thinks Cohen pleading guilty to something automatically means that Trump is guilty, too; especially after he just waxed poetic about due process.

Like Trump isn't entitled to his own defense and due process. I mean, seriously, where do they get this shit?

These people aren’t rational humans. Their ideology is so jacked up. Why should we be surprised that they don’t have the ability to comprehend anything other than what media tells them or to use logic to see their constant hypocrisy.

Yes, RW was about freedom since colonists were not treated as equal citizens as other Brits - no representation in Parliament & taxed uniquely in colonies. Southern whites had equal representation in US Government.

Thank God the spoils went to the Civil War victors. Surely you agree.

So the Southern states weren’t being taxed disproportionately by Northern states? With Federal law and the Constitution being ignored?
How about the slaves owned by members of the Rev war? Was their freedom being fought for, surely if you’re going to make that argument about the Confederacy, the same holds true in the Rev war? It’s not about freedom when a large portion of the population are slaves, right?

Yes, I believe slavery was terrible, but we are looking at it from 150-200 years out. Which isn’t fair to anyone involved, 200 years from now eating meat might be demonized, but are we monsters, of course not.

The North didn’t want slavery, after they had peacefully ended it, the South still needed it as farm machinery wasn’t yet in use. So the South tried to remedy the situation and leave.

All facts and yet I've seen posts on here talking about due process, which is nice and all. But what about "LOCK HER UP! LOCK HER UP!"

It's fascinating to watch, really.

Try to keep up. It was actually him who busted out the due process argument. That's after lecturing about how guilty Trump is. You're right, it really is fascinating to watch.

 

[TopCatCal]

Whew! I thought it was going to be Clinton or Obama.

He said man. Clinton & Obama don't qualify

 

[KyFaninNC]

Because the FBI, DOJ, and CIA were covering fir them

 

[moe_schmoe]

All facts

By the way, those weren't all facts that he typed. It is not a fact that Trump directed Cohen to violate campaign finance laws. It is not a fact that Trump was a co-conspirator in anything. It isn't even a fact that Cohen violated campaign finance laws. How about look up the word "fact".

Pretty sure earlier in the thread, there was talk of due process.

But okay. Keep it up.....

What do you mean by earlier? Because I'm pretty sure it was him who brought it up last night.

 

[DSmith21]

Wrong again dumbass. Much like that meme that you posted that said only one democrat was convicted of a crime while in office over the past 40 years. I think I gave you about 20 names of dems who disproved it. Maybe you should do a little research before you post garbage like this. Tony Rezco went to jail in 2008. He was Obama's money man in Chicago. Even Hillary used this dirt against Obama in the 2012 primary.

When the lib/turds realize that paying off a mistress is not a crime and will not result in Trump's removal from office, its going to be like election night all over again.

Actually, doing so to try and influence the election is a crime. Were he not POTUS he would currently be under indictment.

And if Hilary Clinton wasn't SOS, she would've already been indicted as well.

Former FEC Chairman: Trump Lawyer’s Hush Money Is Not a Campaign Contribution

He didn't try to influence an election. He paid off the women to avoid embarrassment and a costly divorce. He would have done it even if he wasn't running for office. Thus no crime. I believe that Trump has a history of paying off women which predates the election. That will prove that he would have paid them off with or without an election.

 

[fuzz77]

The same people who are OK with Clinton's lawyer convincing Cohen to state he committed crimes and Trump told him to are the same people who think Loretta Lynch and Bill Clinton talked about their grandkids.

These people are beyond help.

Dude, Trump is on tape telling Cohen to pay off one of the women...who knows what is on other tapes. Perhaps Clinton is just better at it than Trump. Regardless, you think Clinton should be locked up...why a different standard for Trump? We have more tangible proof of Trump's wrong doings.

I know the lefties who post here are abject retards, but I always find it amusing when they point out the government didn't charge anyone with crimes under Obama, when we have mountains of evidence showing the government was the one committing the crimes under Obama.

Hey Dems, you’re so “rebellious.” Lol

No, you’re the machine. In what universe has wanting to control information and silence people ever been the actions of the good guy?

Is it illegal to pay a woman not to talk about an affair?


As stated in the post in an earlier post (and I know I shouldn't use the word) but you lefties are mentally retarded. I mean that in the truest most literal sense.

 

[moe_schmoe]

That isn't against the law. NDA's aren't illegal. They're standard practice.

The FEC violation laws are very clear. The payment can't have a dual purpose. The payment has to only exist but for the campaign. Do you honestly believe that Trump only made the payment because of the campaign, and there was no other reason for him to make that payment? Because that's the only way it's an FEC violation.

Clinton was actually accused of rape so there is your difference. He also paid Paula Jones $850,000 for sexual assault over 20 years ago. Trump paid off two smoking hot chicks for a little over $300,000. Tell me again who is better at making deals with women.

I’m guessing he doesn’t honestly believe that, but he’s going to choose to believe that because impeach.

 

[kafka0117]

It's amazing the unbridled bliss with which the media is "reporting" the demise of Trump. The fact is that Cohen pled guilty, to save his own ass, to a crime that's not even a crime. Paying hush money is not a campaign contribution. So Cohen gets a reduced sentence, and Trump skates . He wins again. And Mueller still has nothing, absent perjury, a trap Trump is not going to fall into. The legal experts are so blinded by their Trump hatred, they refuse to objectively analyze the facts.

Really, what's new today. Nothing. We already knew Trump entered into a nondisclosure contract with Stormy, and Cohen paid her and was reimbursed. It happens every day.

Yep. Remember when Comey said Clinton did nothing wrong before he even started his investigation? Good times.

It reminds me of UNC launching an in house investigation and finding no wrong doing. Laughable.

So Trump has some skeletons in his closet including paying off pornstars and playmates to stay quiet. Do people not realize what $150k to Trump is? Its like one of us paying a woman $5 to stay quiet. What a bargain. Highly doubt he had to use campaign funds to make the payment. Frankly, not sure why he did it because it would not have changed the minds of voters. Anyone who voted for him knew/knows he is not a great husband and frankly we all know he is not squeaky clean from a business standpoint. 0% chance he became a Billionaire in the toughest city in the world let alone Real Estate by doing everything by the book.

I said the same about Bill Clinton. I could care less who he is screwing as long as the country is doing well. Now, taking advantage of a young intern in the Oval Office was about as despicable as it gets when it comes to cheating. Then again, who could blame him being married to Hillary.

None of this is going to change a damn mind when it comes to Trump. You either hate him or love him. He is not going anywhere. He is doing a great job while being under the most scrutiny any POTUS has ever been under.

Pretty simple. One is being pressured to the fullest extent to try and get him to make up crimes against Donald Trump, the other is getting the most lenient punishment possible to try and keep him from exposing crimes against the left.

I think the hell unleashed upon this nation due to the decision of some to bring slaves over on a boat and also taking the race and enriching them with more opportunities than their native homeland ever could has more than made up for slavery.

Imagine a world where we never participated in that. Demographics look entirely different. Neighborhoods aren’t lost to crime. We are not obsessed with race.

Worst decision this country ever made was being involved in it.
