Stop Calling It The ‘Culture Wars’

Are we nearing the statute of limitations on that Stormy payment?

Is it seven years?

I know the payment was made in later 2016, so the seven years isn’t quite up yet.

Found it:

.

The statute of limitations on charging someone for violating campaign finance law, though, is five years, meaning we’re past the point at which Trump might face criminal sanction.

But suddenly, it appears that a different, unexpected door has opened. The district attorney for Manhattan has reportedly empaneled a special grand jury that is considering whether the Stormy Daniels payments involved a legal violation on the part of the Trump Organization. The district attorney, you’ll recall, has been probing the accounting and tax filings of Trump and his namesake business for some time. That the repayments to Cohen were identified as “legal expenses,” the New York Times reports, could open up the company to charges of falsifying business records, a misdemeanor. If, however, that falsification was in service of covering up another crime, it could lead to felony charges.

Here, too, there’s a statute of limitations in play — again, five years. Trump has mostly been outside the state for the intervening period, though, which could allow prosecutors to extend that limit for another five years.

Oh dear, it looks like George Santos is going to an avalanche of legal woes coming his way. He was busted for accepting an apparently illegal campaign contribution.

Oops, the letter was sent to the treasurer Andrew Olson, the mysterious guy no one knows.

Beautiful.

I live in Vermont at an elevation of 1,850’

The air is clearer. Although traveling up my road, when it’s raining, it quite suddenly turns to snow, about halfway up. Which means, instead of stomping in puddles like the lowlanders are, I gotta shovel that shit.

Oh, and get this: Where I live is called a “hill.” Our road name even has “Hill” in it.

When I first moved here 25 years ago, I kept getting lost. The road signs aren’t always kept up (or even accurate), and people sometimes steal them.

Then I realized that the state motto is “If you don’t know where you are, then you don’t belong here.”

It’s good to know one’s “place.” :laughing:

I’d like for Conway to say this again, word for word, while looking directly at herself in a mirror–bonus points for having Hannity standing there with her, looking and listening, too.

Looking at the takeaways, the last one specifically, I tend to agree when remembering some of the names of the companies included - Halliburton and oil companies and John Deere were some, I think.

Corrected. Here’s the full list.

Of course not, he wore dresses all the time
He responded to the video not with a denial but trying to claim he was not in drag, while appearing to suggest all drag is “sexually explicit.”

Hold on with this ESG thing, I am so confused anymore, are conservatives for or against government controlling anything about how people do business? I thought that any kind of regulation was socialism?
