POTUS 45.40: If You Need a Lawyer, Don't Hire Michael Cohen

Re: POTUS 45.40: If You Need a Lawyer, Don't Hire Michael Cohen

Exactly. I've made it clear that in THIS case, the main issue is this POS's attitude towards women. There are other relevant issues at hand, but they are not the main ones. And why haven't we heard about other cases like this? Media is part of the problem. They choose the stories to report. This one just happened to go national.

So if it's the attitude around a person's treatment of women, why isn't the issue with the OSU team bigger than just a 3 game suspension?

This isn't national news. I'll repeat what I said already, and what other people have said- people are murders in cold blood every single day. The only ones we keep hearing about seem to be white women, especially if the accuser is of a different color. Bonus points if they are not legal immigrants.

The fact that this is such a huge issue just fans the flames that dumpy is pouring gas on. Don't get distracted by that.

The real issue here is that we pretend that this is some kind of elevated problem due to the likely perpetrator.

Yep. And that will work. Things like that always work for Republicans.

I know the defense attorney. Let's just say I'd probably use a first year, freshly minted public defender over him, and I'll leave it at that.

If this is the guy, he looks like Iowa's very own version of Saul Goodman. The look is uncanny.

In fact, based upon this story, I'm almost certain it's Saul. I don't think he ended up in the Omaha Cinnabon, I think he's hiding out in Tama, Iowa.

He's consistent to a fault.

Well if that isnt the pot calling the kettle black

Technically this story shouldn't be a national story. People are murdered across the country every day. Are all of them national news? No. The only reason this is a national story is because we are a xenophobic nation.

Well and she is White. If the illegal murdered Lafonda Jackson no one cares.

Black Americans are just Africans. They fall under the xenophobia umbrella. It dovetails nicely with how the wrong statue(s) are being torn down across the country.

It does, but it also distracts from the larger picture of his illegal BS. Which is more likely to end this BS earlier than 4 years vs, him being a racist.

The guy isn't going to get impeached, the more realistic solution is voting him out of office.

Before it's all over the House will vote to convict. The Senate will never follow through. So, it will end like Clinton ended.

He might get impeached but he wont be removed from office. The Dems will never have the votes in the Senate.

It would be totally counter productive to impeach, which is why the Dems will almost certainly do it.

If it were reversed the Republicans would impeach and it wouldn't matter.

So be it. Dems should obviously campaign on "we'll follow the evidence and act accordingly" but if they win in Nov they need to start working on their case for impeaching Chump's sorry azz. No I don't expect the treasonous money laundering cult to go along with this attack on the Dear Leader but who cares? State the case in a public forum then let Gooper Senators like Susan Collins explain why overlooking Chump's felonies is a swell idea as she runs for re-election in 2020.

The entire GOP cult needs to be exposed. Impeachment is a great way to do so.

Re: POTUS 45.40: If You Need a Lawyer, Don't Hire Michael Cohen

Oh I definitely think they should try, if nothing else it shifts their focus to defending themselves/Trump rather than focusing on implementing more terrible regressive policies on every front.

Re: POTUS 45.40: If You Need a Lawyer, Don't Hire Michael Cohen

By the way. Trump wants to outlaw "flipping". Which is agreeing to a lesser sentence if you agree to give testimony against someone else.

"It's called flipping and it almost ought to be illegal," Trump said in the "Fox and Friends" interview.

That sound like a good idea to anyone? I bet 35% of the people in the United States think it's a great idea.

I think this story had some national reach even while she was just considered missing. Attractive college girl goes missing and everyone is searching for her. It certainly got more play here in the Iowa/Minnesota area than say on the east coast, but I recall at least one or two occasions seeing mention of it nationally.

For example, here is a link to a New York Daily News story from back in July, providing updates.

Yes, Attractive White Girl. Exactly right. She's Black it's a nothing story. She's Hispanic it doesn't even hit the local news.

Yeah I heard about this a few weeks ago. At that point there was a whodunnit angle as well.

So... he wants to make white collar crimes legal.
