Everyone knew that this was the type of person that Trump was when they voted for him.  Nothing burger......

Well.... I didn't vote for him.  Now.... the real test.... of those "principles"....

will come in 2020.   Right? 

Bottom line.... I didn't 'not vote' for Clinton because he was a scumbag womanizer.   It was always only because of his leftist politics and because he was a damned Democrat.  So my principles never entered into that decision.  It's quite possible.... that the same will be said for my choice in 2020.   And as a further disclaimer.... I have never fainted and I also hate pearls!

Why? They are the ones who originate the spending bills, I'm sure Trump would sign whatever they'd put across his desk if it cut spending.  There's nothing stopping them.

Because Trump is the leader of the Republican Party and is a con man.  He's proven that he's very effective at going after those who challenge him, but of course, I think you already knew that.

It's pretty obvious that principles and dancing are really not his thing.

So, if the tape is 'exculpatory,' as Rudy claims, why would Cohen tape this brief, seemingly innocuous conversation it and retain it?  My theory:  Trump is on tape requesting payment in check form, so 'there is a record.'  It makes everything look above board, should the deal arrangement with The Enquirer ever get out.  It's a CYA tape and they know it.  It's exactly why Giuliani has previously said 'as long as Michael tells the truth,' they're fine.  They're preparing to call him a liar, if he cooperates and tells the full story.

I'm soooo confused.  AND I'm getting a headache.   This stuff is getting complex.

Meh.  I'm just thinking out loud.  Rudy did say that, though.....

Rudy Giuliani says on ABC’s “This Week” Sunday that they have no worries about Michael Cohen “as long as he tells the truth.”

That's been especially true with the politics of this admin.  Trump even lies about his lies and tells the press it's no big deal to lie to them.

That’s the beauty of politics. I doubt literally a saint could get through a political campaign with his reputation intact. It’s politics after all, you get to make *hit up! Cool, huh?

So Rudy could have been setting up a case for claiming Cohen has flipped and is lying then?  I wish we could hook them all (all politicians and government EEs) up to a lie detector machine .... after first injecting them with truth serum...lol.

Wow. Some credible sources here. What a snooze.

BTW it is not illegal to pay people to shut their mouth. Lawyers do it all the time. It's called a settlement.

By all means, keep voting for the lesser evil/bigger liberal/Marxist miscreant then.  It explains why we are where we have arrived.
