Having sex and lying about it is not a crime. If it was a crime, Trump would be in jail now serving a life sentence.
In the Stormy Daniels case Trump has been charged with 34 felony counts of falsifying business records. Trump is accused of trying to buy Daniels’s silence over an affair that allegedly occurred while his wife Melania Trump was pregnant with their child, Barron.
The trial will have broad consequences, and its outcome may reflect on the three other criminal indictments Trump faces, particularly those that concern his behavior during the 2020 election. Prosecutors are set to argue that the hush-money payments were “part of a deliberate plan to help Trump’s 2016 election".

I am shocked at your courage to give me an answer, and thank you. " Prosecutors are set to argue that the hush-money payments were “part of a deliberate plan to help Trump’s 2016 election". "
So Trump paid blackmail. What is the crime ? How is paying blackmail to deliberately help a campaign a crime ? Plus if I am not mistaken the statute of limitations on the state charge of falsifying records has run out.
Also, why was Stormy Daniels not prosecuted for violating the terms of her agreement with Trump ?

The charge against Trump is not about having an affair. It is about paying the sex partner not to blab about.
Is that more illegal than Bill Clinton felony lying under oath in a court of law when he said he did not have sex with Lewinski ? Clinton lost his law license. He should have gone to jail for lying under oath. He should have been thrown out of office, but neither of those two happened.
I will now restate my question. I want to see if you have the guts to answer. Since Clinton got off without real punishment, why should Trump not get the same treatment ?
Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa !

It's been a while since I've posted on OPP.
It's because I've been having too much fun on an extended vacation with my Angel
It started with a few weeks at my Uncle's mountain compound in the Mojave desert and from there we literally went wandering.
It was one hell of an adventure and I'll likely post a thread or two about the experience.
We got back home yesterday and the drive as we neared home was painted in an explosion of wildflowers.
My Angel loves that kind of stuff and it made for a perfect welcome to home sweet home.
Today I woke up to the news of all the current crap going on in this wretched world and I told my Angel that we should just go back on vacation and stay there.
I then remembered that I can always go to my friends and enemies on OPP and parade my toxic masculinity in the form of voicing my personal opinion.
So without further adieu , I say that this once great country we call America, would most definitely return to and then go on to exceed far beyond its long lost glory, if we could just get rid of these damned Queers, Blacks And Democrats.
Until next time...........................................Happy Trails my buckaroos

I was leaning on scolding you for false advertising. Your title intrigued me and then I saw your accounts of your vacation. Not that I did not enjoy hearing of your vacation, but my expectations were of something else. However, at the end you covered yourself by mentioning the elements of your subject title.

Interesting. You make mountains out of molehills every time Biden stutters or stumbles, but never notice Trump mixing up people, making up words and repeating his schtick at every opportunity. Every investigation is a witch hunt. Every judge is corrupt, even the ones he appointed. He can't get a fair shake in NY. Only someone living at the South Pole for the last 10 years would not know all the detailsof his sordid life.
You really are very precious. I suppose in your clumsy way you are accusing me of hypocrisy. I take that as the ultimate insult. Call me a racist or almost anything else, but implying I am guilty of hypocrisy is the one accusation I do not tolerate. I admit I am not guiltless, but most of my hypocrisy is trivial.
I do not deny that Donald J. Trump's mouth from time to time makes me cringe. However, that you are suggesting my boy Donald J. Trump's verbal mistakes are comparable to the brain misfires that your boy Joe Biden is infamous for is laughable.
You guys defend Biden, attack Trump, but if I simply do the same thing in reverse, then you think there is something wrong with me.
How about I do something I really love to do ? I love to use your side's argument's against you guys. Your side is going ape crap crazy over the current NY Trump trial over Stormy Daniels. Okay, how's about I use the same arguments your side used to save Bill Clinton from being thrown out of the White House for the Monica Lewinsky scandal ?
Billy boy escaped punishment and did much much worse than Donald J. Trump is accused of. First off, it's only about sex. If Bill Clinton was given a pass, why not Donald J. Trump ? Plus Clinton's actions occurred whilst in office.
Clinton committed perjury under oath. Trump did not. Trump's alleged affair with Ms. Daniels was amongst equals. Clinton's affair with Lewinski can be seen as sexual harassment because it was between a boss and a subordinate.

Considering the fact, the Commonwealth of Virginia had a legislator who was in jail, what would prevent Trump from serving?
Your cult weirdly believes people who support Trump policies do not see alternatives. Your cult has zero alternative to Dementia Joe.
There are two pathways to ultimate bliss if one is a Leftist. They have to do with the contrast between one's own reality and those around them. Wealth brings little satisfaction if everyone around you is also rich. If you are rich, you want to live in a country of poor people. It is the contrast that makes you happy.
If you are fat, you need to rule a country filled with millions of starving people. Enter the ruler of North Korea. The only fat guy in a nation of anorexics.
So what if you are Joe Biden ? You are an old man suffering from dementia. You know that you have it, but you still want to run America. So where is that contrast ? The contrast is that you are the President. You are the most powerful man on Earth. You know that half of America knows you are senile and wants you gone.
The contrast, and therefore your happiness comes from the fact that the right half of America cannot get rid of your sorry ass. Not until next November. So for the next 7 months you are the most happy 81 year old Alzheimer poster boy on Planet Earth.
Predictably the hapless Joseph Biden Administration has projected the blame for the Iranian attack on Israel onto my boy Donald J. Trump. They know their zombie supporters will eat this manure up. Stupid people continue to get stupider.
https://www.foxnews.com/media/john-kirby-blames-trump-emboldening-iran-biden-weathers-storm-over-dont-foreign-policy" White House national security communications adviser John Kirby reacted to Iran's direct attacks against Israel, in part by blaming former President Trump for supposedly emboldening Iran. "
" Last month, the Biden administration re-approved a sanctions waiver to permit Iraq to purchase energy from Iran, effectively allowing the terrorist regime access $10 billion in funds. Kirby had said at the time the funds would not go to its "mullahs." "

Yes you come to mind. I did public utility work for decades in the Pocono Mountains area in Eastern Pennsylvania. I dealt with the good, the bad, and the ugly. Generalizing about any group of people is dangerous, but all of the immigrants from Eastern Europe I ever came across impressed me. Hard working and easy to get along with.

One hears a lot about how Democrats are destroying the country and that President Biden is an obvious disaster. What you don’t hear are specifics. What are Democrats specifically doing that’s destroying the country? What specifically has Biden done that’s an obvious disaster?
Are Democrats destroying the economy? Hmmm, record employment doesn’t seem destructive. When Trump left office there were 170,000 fewer manufacturing jobs than when he entered The White House. Over 800,000 manufacturing jobs have been created under Biden’s leadership. That doesn’t seem like a disaster.
You could point at the border and call that a disaster. Okay, but the mess at the border was decades in the making. In 2013 the Senate passed a bipartisan immigration reform bill. The Republican led House refused to even bring the bill to the floor. Under Trump Republicans had four years to pass an immigration reform bill and they didn’t do it. The immigration laws we have today were passed by politicians beholden to The Donor Class which wanted cheap labor. Anger toward immigrants is misdirected, you should direct your anger toward fat cat donors and the politicians that serviced the interests of those donors.
Mad about inflation? Yeah sure, but remember the current rise in inflation is a worldwide event and the US is doing much better than the vast majority of other countries. The average inflation rate internationally is 6.5%. The current US inflation rate is 3.2%. It appears that the Democrat’s Inflation Reduction Act is working. Doesn’t sound like destruction to me.
I could go on, but the point is that simply saying that Democrats are destroying the country is just bumpersticker bullshit. Give me specifics, give me evidence to back up your assertion. Oh, I forgot, Republicans don’t really deal with evidence, they’re more into feelings.

Who said that, and we should believe them because why ? The Biden Administration controlled by the Global Warmers has done all in their power to kill US domestic oil and gas exploration and production. You may choose to believe this horse manure the Biden Administration is spreading, but I do not.
I find your acceptance of Administration propaganda problematic.
