Yeah well, he's got these people on his side, so what's to worry about?True. And he always, always, always feels like he's been done wrong. Entitlement, and all that. But so far it has not served him all that well since he took office. His hitting back opened the door to Mueller. And all kinds of other doors continue to open as we speak. Can you hear the hinges creaking? Music, isn't it?
You think he'll get revenge? I think he's well overdue for some serious comeuppance. We'll see.
You have to watch the whole thing.And what else did we learn about, but not until late last year? That congress has its own slush fund for "sexual harrassment"/whatever.
And who are the bitches paying for it? WE ARE!
So if this is how Trump spends his money, at least it's not OUR money he's spending.

Both laughable and frightening at the same time. Laughable for obvious reasons, but frightening how many people can be led by the nose. Whatever you may have to say about the far Left, they're not quite the frontiersman cliffhangers of the far Right. And what's with that unholy piece the guy's wearing?Yeah well, he's got these people on his side, so what's to worry about?
One of my left leaning friends sent this to me and said that he never again wants to hear me ranting about the crazy leftists. Hate it when he gets me like this.
This is starting to look like a "John Edwards" situation.
The question is will Mueller indict a sitting President over hush payments?
I doubt it.
Will Congress impeach Trump over hush payments?
No (unless they want all of their intimate skeletons to come out the closest in the process).

Bottom line the dems would need 17 republicans to flip, if the senate stood as it is right now, there is literally zero chance of that happening if mueller tries to bring up some bullshit charge.
Obamas campaign took got a fine for trying to hide 2 million dollars in donations, so good luck trying to impeach trump for doing 1/10th of that.

LASHBACK: Obama Fined $350,000 for Trying to Hide $2 Million in 2008 Campaign Donations
Your LASHBACK is fake news.
Next time try not to quote something like eaglerising as a news source.
Obama's case involved a series of reporting errors, the main example of which was a group of missing notices for around 1,300 financial contributions. According to Politico, his campaign was supposed to file a 48-hour notice for each of those donations because they were over $1,000 and were received less than 20 days before the election. But not giving notice for donations is very different than purposefully making illegal contributions, which is what Michael Cohen says he did.
The biggest way this case differs from the one in 2013 is that President Obama wasn't accused of committing his violations intentionally. Cohen implied in court that he had followed Trump's orders, saying that he acted "in coordination and at the direction of a candidate for federal office."
Election law professor Rick Hasen told Vox that Cohen's intent to commit a violationmakes his action criminal, whereas Obama's violations were civil. Making "excessive, unreported campaign contributions, [...] if done willfully, [...] is a crime," he said.
Vox also points out that campaign finance violations are common among politicians. Although Obama's campaign was dealt a hefty fine, the errors themselves were not terribly noteworthy.
"At the time, the 2008 campaign was record breaking, with over 3 million grass-roots donors," Katie Hogan, a spokeswoman for the campaign, said in 2013 in response to the fine. "The very few outstanding questions about the $750 million that was raised have now all been resolved."
As The Toronto Star's Daniel Dale points out, charges were never brought against Obama or his campaign because their violations were considered errors. Trump's campaign has already been dealing with fines for similar, seemingly accidental violations.
FEC hits Trump on 1,100 errors, totaling roughly $1.3M
