I am a democrat and hate the direction the world is headed. The world was fairly good with other democrat presidents, but now it is headed for ______? (who knows)
According to Einstein: "the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results"
But really it should be: "the definition of insanity is voting for the same fucking 2 parties over and over and expecting different results"
Yeah, it's a pretty stupid definition because it only applies to very specific situations. Dictionaries have actual definitions of insanity which make a lot more sense
My definition of insanity is if you constantly poop yourself & drool alot. Oh and probly smell like a combo of urine & soured milk on top of the rest.
So you choose the least corrupt one,I get it when you say all I’m sure you mean almost all, there should be one or two that aren’t
There are totally non corrupt politicians. I'd say that's most local politicians. Just doing a basic enough job to be relected. There are animals that acomplish that job fantastically.
I'm real enough to myself to think I'm just good enough of a leader to lead maybe 10 people. Any more than that and I'd probably fail them.
The only two things you need to know about American politics are
1. Nobody is in politics for good of the general public, they're only in politics to enrich themselves through (most often) illegal or immoral means
2. Only Republicans ever face consequences for their corruption. When the left is caught doing something corrupt, it's justified, excused, or completely buried
True. But just because the otherside doesnt get caught doesnt mean we shouldnt prosecute. This isnt 2nd grade.
What trump did seems to me like a misdemeanor at best. Should of paid using his own money. But he didnt and other people tried to hide it which they knew was illegal.
I thought he did use his personal account to reimburse his lawyer, but tried to cover it as a business expense.
My question is, what is the difference between extortion and hush payments?
When a person sexual fling, door man, business partner, personal lawyer, want money from you to keep their mouth shut about something not necessarily illegal but embarrassing isn't that extortion?
I think hush money for a non illegal action is legal. If you want to pay for the exclusive rights to your own true story.
I don't know is adultery illegal in New York or where ever this supposedly took place? Even if it was illegal they would have to prosecute what half the population of New York.
No it's not illegal. The whole thing is just about a misdemeanor grade crime that's been overblown to 34 felonies by counting every action as a seperate felony.
Trump had lawyers pay stormy daniels to shut up about the affair (at least until the election was over) the lawyers paid. The illegal action was paying those lawers back through a 3rd party company for "legal fees" which to me seem to be completely legal fees. New york is just particularly ornery about keeping your books open.
The double standard is disgusting enough that I honestly don't know if I agree with you. If we're going to let corruption slide, I feel like it would be less damaging to let both sides get away with it equally rather than granting unlimited favoritism toward only a single party
