There’s nothing wrong with paying off a official to get a building permit that’s called business. /snark
Hey, by that thinking Trump should get props among the Christian nationalists for not having Cohen wack Stormy.
…a Call For Exhaustion
Tired of his shit? Then you must acquit. It’s the only way we’re going away.
(unless the checks stop clearing)
The downplaying and whataboutism are not aimed at obtaining a not guilty verdict. They’re aimed at getting just one sympathetic juror to hold out and thereby obtain a mistrial.
omg, Von ShizInPants! That could be the greatest nickname ever! Who’d have thought Cohen had it in him?
I was away for the last half of last week, and now I’m seeing references to him stinking up the court. What did I miss?
That’s very funny in my text reader …lol

Wasn’t that exactly the phrase TSF (or his attorneys) used to explain why giving fraudulent accounts of his properties’ values to banks for loans was OK? (ed.)
Is this how being in close proximity to Donald Trump curdles everyone’s face and soul who comes close to him for extended periods?
What’s missing here is that there is a YUGE difference between trying to influence the electorate, and therefore the election, and gaming the system.
It’s wrong every time it happens. And it’s wrong whether or not it becomes known. If it does become known, well, that was the risk that was taken.
“Besides which, a ‘Buttery Males’ T-shirt is in bad taste. How could you not shoot someone wearing that?”
