Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

Just a reminder hes being charged with falsifying business records
Yes, and this testimony establishes that there was a reason to make the payment, and a reason to falsify them, it's the story he was trying to bury, now the jury knows it and can make a more informed decision.
That was never disputed, it was an extramarital sex affair
? Trump still denies there was a sexual relationship.
I bet it voids his prenuptial agreement.
Daniels claims he said he doesn't care if his wife finds out. This is trump here, who has cheated on every wife he's ever had, despite being a moron, he's still probably smart enough to have a pretty loose prenup when it comes to his own infidelity.
Then why did he use campaign money to pay for it? Lol bro of he kept it in his pants no one would care or even know, but the moral party / law and order party seems to not care
It was disputed by Trump
~~That didn't happen.~~
And if it did, it wasn't that bad. <- We are here.
And if it was, that's not a big deal.
And if it is, that's not my fault.
And if it was, I didn't mean it.
And if I did, you deserved it.
I hereby demand it be referred to as "an extramarital sex affair" from now on in all media.
Yes, falsifing business records to hide the hush money he paid her.
Election fraud is a felony
Obstruction of Justice is a felony. Witness tampering is a felony. Taking state secrets - ho, you better believe that's a felony.
It's all relevant
Well yeah sure along with a slew of other crimes he committed. If our system wasn't broken, he'd already be charged with treason and in jail or just offed like how we used to treat treasonous bastards.
Which says he knew how gross it made him look but decided to both have an extramarital affair and cover it up.
Look, im on your side and i want this guy to go jail. You already seen them try to mistrial over this, because although its gross, neither of those things are illegal and theyre not what hes being charged with. Hes being charged with falsifying business records. Its a simple case, they have the check stubs he signed, they have the records not showing payments, his previous lawyer is already in jail because we already know all of this happened. All this testimony is doing is giving them room to argue about personal biases.
they have to show he's not doing it to protect his wife or whatever - in a personal capacity. Imo this testimony makes him sound like he knew how gross it would be to most people. But yeah they might open the door for an appeal and also the defense he did it to protect his daughter who he does have business dealings with (though making that argument would probably even ick some trump supporters).
