Looked like it at first but now it looks like there were two Trump lawyers involved and one looks like he was paid from campaign funds. Nothing is certain at this point.

The guy used his (now shuttered) "charity" to purchase ghastly portraits of himself to hang in his ghastly New York property. Of course he used campaign money to pay off a porn star. Of course he fucking did. No thinking person would know otherwise.

That would be unbelievable if a rich guy used campaign funds as hush money.
Actually it's not. The Uber rich are often amazingly cheap and frugal. They also don't perceive themselves as being rich but rather as still just trying to catch up to to the next guy. (After all if finally you thought and accepted that you were ridiculously rich you'd stop trying to accumulate money. Have you ever played a video game where at the end of the game you could buy like everything a thousand times over? You stop paying attention to the little arbitrary pieces of money that come in or even large massive sums because it doesn't matter anymore nor does it help you best the game or the really hard bosses. However these uber rich guys never stop and the reason is largely psychology. The acquisition of more money IS the game to these guys. It is the final boss and that means spending as little of your money and acquiring as much of others)

Mnuchjn is like a billionaire or something but was using government funds for his wife's flights and vacations. It just doesn't make any sense to a rational person but to these guys it's not rational.

  1. Recount rules vary by state, and for a special election for a single PA house seat, there is no mandatory recount.
  2. Recounts rarely change the outcome of races in a single district with a margin of several hundred votes. They use electronic counting machines, and a 0.5% error rate in counting would be WAY higher than normal. The counting machines are made by the same companies that make cash counting machines, and if ATMs had a 0.5% error rate banks would be losing hundreds of billions of dollars a year.
Fair enough.

Easy, Lamb isn’t a Democrat. Lamb does not support Pelosi, he supports tax cuts and he is against gun reform.
Lamb is far more a Republican than Democrat.

My mom worked as a bookkeeper in a local musical instrument store. The biggest deadbeats were professionals, lawyers, and doctors.

Lamb opposes Trump's tax cuts, is pro-choice, and supports tighter gun regulations than Republicans are willing to enact.

He is not even remotely more of a Republican than a Democrat. What sort of nonsense is this?

Oh, haha. I get you.

I find it amazing that rather than simply admit they lost they are trying to claim that Lamb is pro-life because he personally opposes abortion but thinks it should be legal. That's the exact same stance as zillions of other elected Democrats who they have tried to paint as baby killers for years. It seems remarkably foolish to give people who are adamantly pro-life but otherwise side with Democrats a way to convince themselves that Democrats are pro-life.

There's a law against having sex with porn stars?

Nope and there's no law against getting a BJ from an intern. Look how that went. I suspect that like Clinton, any legal repercussions won't be about the act but the coverup. That's what got Nixon too.

Heck, I'd say it's always the coverup that sinks them....rarely, if ever, the actual incident.

Yea, but he likes those rallies where nothing but his sycophants show up. Gives him a recharge. What? It did not play well, to get the votes out. Too bad. He's got to get his ego stroked at all costs, even if it causes his chosen candidate to loose.

Have to agree with you there. The guy is about the most insecure "rich guy" I've ever heard of. He has so many exploitable weaknesses to pick and choose from and so many dirty deeds to cover up and so many debts to pay off with so few creditors willing to lend him some high risk cash it's no small wonder that he ran to the Russians who clearly saw an opening they could make bank on. A classic match made in Hell presided over by none other than the top Ruskie Devil incarnate himself.

Describing him as an epic narcissistic megalomaniac is simply being too kind to him. For the fact that his urges have been constrained by the realities of life in the Oval Office just makes thing that much worse for him as he has been accustomed to having things his way when, where and how he wants it. That not being the case as POTUS, I can see where he is in such turmoil over the helplessness he feels, the fear he must deal with knowing his urges for being a spoiled brat control freak will only get him in more trouble yet he just can't help himself to be what he wants to be which is who he really is. It's simply amazing that by now he hasn't done as much damage to the nation that he is truly capable of. I give all credit for that to his handlers of whom must really wish they could use cattle prods on the guy to keep him from the disasters he would have committed had they not been there to rein him in.

If he had things his way the White House would have been torn down and rebuilt to his liking and our Constitution and Bill of Rights would have been outlawed in order to clear the way for his desire to reshape the nation in his image.

edit - And congrats Lamb, ride that incoming wave like you got a purpose and help that wave get big enough to flush as many of those crooked Repubs out of office as possible.

I disagree. Lamb IS a Democrat in every sense of the word just like I am one despite being pro gun, pro capital punishment, etc.

The right has moved THAT far to the right that Centrists like me are now considered far left leaning libtards...

I guess I don't have my timeline right. I thought Trump did this 10 years ago? He's still a slime ball for cheating on his wife no matter what.

The cover up gets everyone, even us 'mortals' lol. Lies go from small to mountain size when you try to cover your tracks.

He did the cheating 10 years ago, the coverup happened during the election and since.

Morning Joe was merciless this morning. They played a tape of Trump talking at some Republican fund raiser, explaining how he really ran as a Republican and went point by point on what he supposedly was for, oh, and of course he said Lamb said good things about him. Well, they went point by point cutting away to what Lamb's positions were from his own mouth on the campaign trail. The only thing that they haven't lied about what his positions were was that he does not like Pelosi.

As long as he (and enough others) have a D in front of their name, then Dems control the committees. That's what counts.
