  • A bit of a push isnt that. Not sure paying porn stars in cover ups is on the official docket.
  • @AndyH3000
    If you've got two brain cells to rub together, your first question should be: Hey, wasn't the hush money thing before he was president? Even he's not stupid enough to think this will work, but he's betting his followers will be stupid enough to get angry when the court tosses his motion.
  • Not an official presidential act.... He was a candidate, not a president.
  • @dumpd6227
    Focus is always on him. How does this reduce inflation, gas prices or housing costs?
  • @BlackShogun
    He will investgate himself and find there was no wrongdoing
  • I don't see how this ruling doesn't overturn all 34 convictions. Paying someone hush money isn't illegal. It's just a non-disclosure agreement. Trump's defense was that this was all a personal issue, meaning it wasn't illegal. But Alvin Bragg's entire case was that it was not a private issue, it directly related to his Presidency, and since he didn't disclose it, it was illegal. If Alvin Bragg is correct, then he is immune. So either way, these felony convictions are all invalid now.

    Supreme court showdown!!! Christ. What is this. Jerry Springer?
  • The statue of limitations had already past for that case & should be thrown out!!!!
  • "No matter what political party you align with I respect your choice. However, we must be allowed to question the efficacy and moral integrity of all candidates. The public wants leadership who are intelligent, have civil decorum, and a sense of humanity. We as a nation have lowered our standards by accepting mediocrity at many levels, and this has transitioned into our political landscape. Can we now speak to the issues and be open to better qualities which define the greatness of our nation. " I pray our hearts can become one, so that God can Bless America once again.
  • For the past eighty years, U.S. GDP grew 4.1% on average under Democrats versus 2.5% under Republicans. Of the last ten recessions, nine occurred under Republican presidents. 8 of the top 10 states with the highest poverty rate? The Republican-led states of Mississippi, Arkansas, Alabama, South Carolina, Georgia, West Virginia, Tennessee and Kentucky. 8 of the top 10 states with the highest bankruptcy rate? The Republican-led states of Alabama, Tennessee, Georgia, Mississippi, Indiana, Ohio, Arkansas, and Kentucky.
  • Have no fear about the Supreme Court ruling. We can change it if we want to.

    Sotomayor saying all that like presidents have never done any of the things she’s bringing up. She’s in for a rude awakening when she finds out these TV shows like “House of Cards” are documentaries.
