can you arrange for a translator? Maybe you can't figure out why I said it, but you know what I said. I said it because you, like so many people on the internet, appear to have thoughts with little preparation. Don't get me wrong, I know spontaneity has its value. It is generally supposed that spontaneity is more truthful than speech with hours of preparation. In order to access hidden biases or attitudes, professionals try rapid fire questions with shorter answers. It is generally supposed that your spontaneous responses are the "real" you, and that more prepared responses are somehow tainted. Some people, not picking on you especially, are basically a set of animal drives without much thought. On these discussion boards it might be real or it might be more mocking, like "Heck yeah, I'd do that" in reference to a person. Other people can spend hours holding their thoughts to various disciplines. At one time there was more discipline to the Republican Party, and the Democrats had a style of more discipline their own way. For better or worse, we have much more spontaneity in both parties. By the way, and again not to pick on you especially, "libertarian" is not a discipline in the ordinary sense. HTH
so......................... your contention is still that I'm never right? About anything?
That people should spend much more time thinking, debating with themselves and coming up with longer responses to what should really be very simple answers?

I am not aware of your support for any well thought out or well planned policies, no. That doesn't mean you don't have any. It could mean your time on this board is more of a recreation, an attitude that could be healthy enough really.

Then what were the payments for? The payments aren't being contested. Wtf is the crime, though? Trump paid his lawyer's invoices, and Trump's accountant marked it down as a legal expense. There is no crime here.

If you can't trust prostitutes, who can you trust?

There is no crime here. But if the payments aren't being contested and there is no crime here, why is the defense contending that Stormy is lying?

I wonder how much Stormy charges? It's probably more than other hookers, because of her fame. She's probably on Back Page.

Some people do not consider payments to porn stars to keep them quiet are a legitimate "legal expense." especially considering they are secretive. Is that beyond your ability to understand? Trump never admitted, "Okay, everybody, I'm paying Stormy to keep quite about our escapades." If he did you might have a point. Maybe.

Everyone knows she isn’t lying. We’ve had long enough to observe Trump’s pathetic manhood full-bore for eight years. Actually the MAGA, or at least the non-gay males, are more than proud he fucked a top porn star…getting that kind of pussy is their best bedroom fantasy.

What I don't get is why he decided to pay her 10 years later. Literally the only thing paying her did was legitimize her claims. If she'd come forward and he'd just said "I have no idea who this woman is", without that money trail the story is 'middle age porn star has accusations' and the whole thing drops out of the news cycle in 24 hours.

In 2015 or 2016, even he didn’t know how much old fashioned Christian SIN the very Moral Majority MAGA would tolerate out of him. Daniels is just one of many the women Trump needed to neutralize using the “catch and kill” method foment by his good friend at the National Enquirer…the NYTs for Morons. They wanted her to sign the NDA. Little did he know just how much both MAGA men and women would spread their legs and butt cheeks for him. At least Stormy got well paid for being fucked by Trump. The Cult pays him.

The book entries were for paying Michael Cohen's legal bills pertaining to a retainer agreement, and it was Trump's accountant who wrote them in the book as legal expenses. The records were accurate. Where is your evidence that Trump's accountant had any idea about the Stormy Daniels NDA? Where is the law that requires Trump to disclose the details of an NDA to his accountant, and then write it in the book as "non-disclosure blackmail payments to Stormy Daniels for alleged affair"? There is no such law. There is absolutely no crime here.
