      @@bradfrench9575 USA Today published an article on July 17th 2019 titled "Justice Department ends inquiry of hush money payments in final months of campaign, judge says." In which they state that the justice department rarely tells when an investigation is over unless they don't plan to pursue charges and the only solid evidence they found was that Cohen paid the money out of his own pocket. Being that the sole testimony they're operating on claiming Trump told him to make the payments comes from a man who was famously jailed for lying to Congress and admitting to it, in any real court room, this thing would have been over before it started.

And, if they want to say it was election interference from 2016, let me remind you of 51 intelligence officers who lied to the American people about Hunter’s laptop in the fall of 2020. Now let’s sit back as this case falls apart just like all the other baseless indictments.

      @@angelaw9476 i hate trump as much as the next rational person but lets be real, if you add up all of trumps properties and business interests, a billion dollars is not inconceivable thath e can have it. Whatever his true net worth is , there's a bigger asterisk on it than Barry Bonds home run record.
      I think you've misunderstood what I was saying, Trump has been involved with the mob since the 70s and 80s when they were skimming gas profits from local gas stations in the NYC area. He's known to have worked with various mafia families, of multiple origins in the 80s. Felix Sater comes to mind as one of the top guys.
      I will say one thing that I hope you dont take personally but ive seen this from people on the good side of this rather than the ugly side, and its this black and white emotionally based reaction that tends to miss the point. As people who are against fascism and are supposed to have the moral high ground, we should start acting more like it or we cede that ground and the false equivalencies give the propagandists the sliver of truth they need to make them believable to the gullible.
      I've never had anyone reply to me with multiple emojis that wasn't trolling me, I find it to be kind of immature and a bad reflection o nthe people who communicate in this way rather than using their words and logic to make their points.
      The way we choose to communicate reflects more about ourselves than we realize, so we should strive to have logic on our side before we start mocking people in a less than adult manner.

    Regardless of whether Donald J. Trump wins or loses the election, it is important to recognize that it will be meaningless for the future of our nation as long as courts prohibit the recitation of Jesus' teachings in schools. These teachings include our responsibilities to God, as well as our responsibilities towards our fellow humans, as mentioned in Matthew 7:12, Matthew 20:25-27, and Matthew 22:37-39. Illegalizing those teachings of Jesus in public schools will create a political and social environment where lawyers defending US citizens with various political affiliations could be easily prosecuted and penalized by prosecutors and judges. Additionally, it could lead to the prosecution of former presidents for previously non-prosecutable actions. It could also result in lawmakers proposing bills in the US Congress that make it easier to assassinate former presidents.
