It is NOT for pushing money to a porn star. It is for marking the hush money as legal fees. That’s ALL it is. They didn’t even get him on the moral high ground, but nitpicked his books.
This country is so beyond fucked… Cannot even get basic details correct…
But the elevation to a felony is the important part. It’s a felony because it’s part of a conspiracy to illegally defraud the voters and affect the election.
It’s a crime in furtherance of a more serious crime, which elevates its severity.
and it should be elevated clear to jail time at minimum, but it won’t, because this country not only has no idea what justice is, but also has no idea how to literally defend itself from “threats within”.
No, no it is not. What are the goals of an economy or government? To collapse in repeated cycles? No? Then it is, in fact, NOT presently working as designed.
That’s exactly my point. To pretend the government or economy is supposed to be some unstable mess is missing the entire purpose of it in the first place, let alone understanding any balance…
Defending the rich and powerful as above the law is equivalent to defending death as the purpose of life.
They’re not defending the rich and powerful as above the law, they’re analyzing the way the law is written and applied, and the way it’s been written and applied since the country’s founding.
The whiskey rebellion was triggered when George Washington taxed independent whiskey producers, while his and his buddy’s large distilleries were largely exempt.
The law is written to protect the oppressing class and bind the oppressed class.
Yes, that is the constant attempt of the powerful to remain so. That is a constant no matter what. The entire point of democracy is to upset that balance.
Are we a (fledgling and flailing) democracy, or just a failed experiment?
There are no infinities in the real world. Only boundaries where something becomes a guarantee. Horizons that you cannot grasp. Unfortunately for you, those horizons seem to stop at … movie references.
Man, fuck you. Go open a damn book. Calling you out on your bullshit, this isn’t cool.
I grew up Native. I know the stories. I’ve seen a people trying to hold onto a culture all but totally denied to them. You don’t have a clue what you are talking about and should be ashamed of yourself for not taking the tiny ass effort to do a quick search before spouting nonsense. I’m all for freedom of speech but like damn man, reattach your spinal cord to your brain before you speak next time, cause clearly something came undone.

“B-but me gun…”
Al Capone was only able to be arrested for tax fraud, because it was very hard to prove he and not one of his lackeys. I think this akin to that
Exactly. They really really wanted to get him, and this was the only thing they could get to stick.
Election fraud
The rich being above the law is the correct “basic details” of liberal nation states.

When a system is working as designed it is working correctly, is it not?
If this system isn’t working for you (which means I guess you are not rich), then you need a different system, don’t you?
No, no it is not. What are the goals of an economy or government? To collapse in repeated cycles? No? Then it is, in fact, NOT presently working as designed.
What is the goal of life? To die? No? Then, humans don’t work as designed
That’s exactly my point. To pretend the government or economy is supposed to be some unstable mess is missing the entire purpose of it in the first place, let alone understanding any balance…

Only a moron fails to understand the current economy is NOT functioning “correctly”.
Is an economy an ever-present thing that works well or poorly depending on many factors? Or something created?
If you say created, you are beyond fucking stupid.
…and only the sith deal in absolutes.

Congratulations.
You’re cracking me up. Thanks for the laugh!

It was both. Sometimes literally at the same time.
If that were true then reparations would have been paid off to them
You have an incredibly optimistic view of the government.
