POTUS 45.31: "The Caravan is Coming.""The Caravan is Coming."

Re: POTUS 45.31: "The Caravan is Coming.""The Caravan is Coming."

Trump used his charity to pay for a self portrait, but you think he wouldn't use campaign funds to pay for legal defense because it's illegal?

Trump refuses to pay vendors who complete the jobs they've been contracted for, but you think he'd just dish out $130k because it's pocket change?

I hope you have a good chiropractor.

From your link:


The question becomes:
Payment to the attorneys for ... what. If it fits the US FEC's criteria, is there a problem?


A campaign paying money to a law firm is just fine, as long as it's disclosed.

Why do you believe all of the $ doled out was to, "pay legal bills arising from being a candidate or elected official"?

One is stupid* and tone deaf; one is illegal.

You and I would avoid both; others only fear the law.


*Scoob says Trump's no idiot however. ;)

If he later wants to leave the legal team, will he say he recently discovered he and the legal team are cousins?

Wrong. It is illegal to use your charity to buy things for yourself or your business. Not stupid, nor tone deaf, illegal.

Then why isn't he being charged and prosecuted for it?

Was the portrait for him or his business, or was it "office furnishings" for the charity's offices. <-- Yes, I've encountered something similar and stopped giving to that "charity". (Yes, I was duly outraged at that.)

It was hung in his business, not his charity. And duh, because he is white and rich. But you go on biotching about Kaep kneeling.

No, my problem with Mrs. Clinton (we're not on first name basis) was that the FBI found a problem relating to classified on her home server.
That's not speculation.

“Although we did not find clear evidence that Secretary Clinton or her colleagues intended to violate laws governing the handling of classified information, there is evidence that they were extremely careless in their handling of very sensitive, highly classified information.”
Clinton’s emails included seven message chains with information classified as top secret.
“None of these emails should have been on any kind of unclassified system.”

And when presented with an actual crime that no one was charged with not 30 minutes ago you asked:

15 months.
Every day that goes by makes me believe it less.

If Trump really wanted to do it he'd go full Twitter and start not just using the "witch hunt" meme but start in with "how much is this costing taxpayers". When that "uproar" ensued he'd claim he's just looking out for taxpayers and the will of the people and do it.

Nixon resigned 26 months AFTER the Watergate burglary and more than 5 years into his presidency. And the Watergate burglary and subsequent cover-ups were hardly his first illegal transgressions as president.

The only reason you think along the lines of "15 months. Every day that goes by...." is because we live in a 24/7 world where the news media literally needs something to feed to the public every single second of every single day. In the early 1970s we paid attention to the news when we sat and read a newspaper or when we tuned into the evening news. 15 months now would be like 20 years then.

This would also be a lot further down the road if half the politicians in D.C. weren't rank obstructionists either. The republican party does not want the truth known because it will hurt their brand and their messaging. It also does not help that most Americans pay far less critical attention to real news and politics and at least a third of the electorate (and probably closer to 40%) are dumber than a bag of rocks and believe everything said on CNN is absolutely fake. Most people, republicans included, came to the conclusion before Nixon resigned that he was guilty of impeachable acts. Now 85% of trump's party thinks he's actually doing a good job as president, let alone what they think about him personally (and most still have a favorable opinion of him as a person because of, well you know, that hypocrisy thing you conservatives are so well-schooled in). And even those republicans who are not enamored with him are loyal to the party first, second and third, and only get around to thinking about America when they want to make it great again, like it was in the 1950s when gay people knew to stay in the closet and black people were grateful we let them play sports in some towns.

But again sic, have no fear. Your boy will be president for another 3 years almost. But just in case I wouldn't stand next to him if he's near any Russians. They might miss.

Where's the proof of the wrong-doing (for charges) in the case of the latter. If they are there, bring them, do it. Like I asked, is there chargeable wrongdoing or is it some silly exception on what the charity can spend on ("office furnishings" :mad: ).

You know, that is a legitimate explanation. Fatigue sets in far more quickly in a 24/7 cable news world. Time flies, but I wouldn't say we're having fun.

However, Trump's not my "boy"; I abstained on that area of the ballot.
He is however, until removed, unable to perform, or his term expires, President.
