True, he could have just paid her, and as long as they both properly reported in on their taxes, this would never have gone anywhere.

Trump never pays from his own pocket though.
Apparently he did this time though he probably borrowed the money from someone else
Hence the issue. In the long run that payment amount will seem a pittance to what it actually costs.
We got him or not?
I didn’t say it was. It is reprehensible though and not what you would want from a political leader?
On the Trump scale of reprehensibleness (word?) it is barely a 1.
So, not arrested then?
True although he wasn't one when he did this

dumbest motherfeckers on the planet (well them and the brexiteers)
1.5 MMUSD in less than a week. I know of a certain desperate failing social media app owner that is probably taking notes.
"he truthed"
Is that a phrase?
Is that a phrase?
Can’t say ‘he tweeted.’
Well, Nancy Sinatra famously sang "you keep lying when you ought to be truthing" back in the '60's, so it's been around for a while.
Ah, okay.
Ah yes, I know the tune, but never really caught on to the the lyrics.

Michael Cohen's problem is that he's as much of chucklehead as his former boss. Even though he's our enemy's enemy now, he's still a
Full on scumbag, which makes him entertaining to listen to, while he's on the right side of things.
Seems like a negotiation going on as to how prez will surrender- between DT and his lawyers, and with the NY authorities
Ffs changing nouns into flipping verbs
With any luck, Bragg will delay this until after the more serious charges in the classified documents and GA election manipulation cases drop. That way no one can claim they went after Trump just because of a porn star hush money case.
He'll never get done for anything
Trump lawyers lost the appeal; now they provide notes, transcripts and other evidence relating to his keeping classified docs

Can't see this happening. He's going to win the nomination despite Murdoch and Fox trying to anoint DeSantis. If he didn't win the R nomination by some miracle, he'd just continue his grift outside politics. He has to be seen as a winner in his base's eyes and running as an independent would just guarantee his loss, even he knows that.
Meh. He was asking people to make him one.
All nouning should be verbable
Excellent !!
. I know it.Democratic strategy is not to have him get done. Just keep him under pressure and the GOP defending him. That way the other more sensible (and electable) elephants don't grow, or grow more slowly. The calculation is that he is unelectable now, and in the long run, his high profile campaign massively damages the opposition. He is a wrecking ball; the trick is the swing back effect. Don't know how effective that idea is, but there were numerous examples of Democrats in the last set of elections actually working for Trumpist candidates knowing they would tank at the polls. 4D chess afoot.
Seems like a bad idea.
Democrats haven't done particularly well when Trump is actually on the ballot (2016, 2020), and done much better when he isn't (2018, 2022).
This is how I feel, personally. Think neutrals and swing voters are done with him. He'll rally the nut job base but that's not nearly enough to win.
Main issue is that Biden is so ...meh.
We assumed complete federal goverental control in 2020.
Biden is meh but he also has the incumbent advantage. He’s not going to win any Republican votes but conservative swing voters are still conservatives and therefore still hate change
Biden has done a fine job. I think he’s too old to be POTUS but the fact is that he has done very well.
TBH I think he's been average, age wise if he's too old then so is Trump
The Democrat problem is they don't really have anybody else, who can they put up that can win, I can't think of anybody that can do that at the moment
In the House of Representatives, Democrats lost seats relative to their 2018 performance. They did poorly compared to expectations, for example:
In the Senate, they did not gain control until after the Georgia special election in January 5th, 2021. Ossoff got less votes than Perdue in the first round (48% to 49.7%), in which Trump was on the ballot.
Does that include approving the Willow Oil project and drilling on Alaska's North Slope?
He's done some good and reversed a bit that Trump did, but he's also done a lot of work for the Republicans and he's also been very sneaky in keeping a lot of what he's done quiet and not getting huge media attention when he's continuing Trump's policies or expanding them.
In truth unless America elects Bernie, there isn't really a great deal of difference between most Republican and Democratic candidates.
There wouldn't be much difference under Sanders as well, since he wouldn't get any meaningful legislation passed because Rs will obviously vote against him, as would a sizable chunk of Dems.
