"This is an outrageous case. It's an embarrassment to the legal system that this case is being brought. The notion, the theory that we heard on Monday from the prosecution, that this is about election interference because the Trump campaign was trying to suppress bad stories. Suppressing bad stories is not election interference. Everyone does it. Nondisclosure agreements are perfectly legal. If suppressing bad news were election interference, then what would one say about the Biden campaign in 2020 that actively used all of its resources to suppress the Hunter Biden laptop case? I mean, that had much more serious implications in terms of the election than the alleged affair with Donald Trump in 2016. You know, everything falls apart, Brian. I mean, the idea that this was election interference, the conduct, the election occurred in November of 2016. The conduct in question here, namely, the recordkeeping, and the failure to disclose this, if there was any obligation as a campaign contribution, all occurred in 2017."

While I agree our Military shouldn't be in many of the places they are, I would pay to take the writer of this missive on a tour of countries I have visited with a flag on my shoulder.
If they believe their criticisms are even remotely exclusive to the US they are in for a rude awakening.

Your assumptions of shocked, dismayed, animosity are all just that assumptions.. Your answer gave no insight other than it is "politics". Thanks for your response.
Actually.... they are statements based on your very own posts where you made clear your disdain for the person you assumed I was talking about.
Please re-read the response you quoted and focus tightly on the portion that starts with "To clarify" which proves your entire skewed premise irrelevant. That sir is on you.

Not sure I get what you are saying... no animosity involved.. just curious how it is ok to influence an election. So, if I am. understanding you correctly, it is ok for a person to influence an election for themself, but it is not ok for another country to influence an election for that same person??
Campaigning is not influencing in my mind, it for the most part for all candidates is plain lying.
But, please defend to the end anything that could possibly be wrong with you candidate, as others defend what could possibly be wrong with theirs (I am still writing in Tulsi Gabbard for my vote).
It is like my neighbor.. he just informed me that when the Donald says whatever he is talking about having done being the best ever, it is New York humor... and if one is not from New York they wouldn't understand... but he does even through he is a Colorado Native and has never been to New York... Yup.. still laughing...

Hope you stretched before that reach ...........
Come on man ....... really...
To clarify, by "your own" I was referring to American citizens and their election in their country. Not a specific candidate. Wouldn't want to attempt influencing you by dropping a name. (sarc)
I'll just refer you to others answers to your query as I cannot add anything and you apparently didn't actually want an answer that doesn't allow you to be shocked and dismayed by a simple statement of the reality of politics and politicking.

Please can someone explain this to me... Influencing elections has been a hot topic for some time... with all the Russian/Chinese trying to influence elections...
Trumps lawyers said this today... “There’s nothing wrong with trying to influence an election,” Todd Blanche, one of Trump’s lawyers, countered in his. “It’s called democracy.”
So it is ok now...??
.
When it's your own election in your own country it is just a teansy bit different than say Russia/China/Ukraine influencing our election. How can you campaign without influencing and what would you call the actions Zuckerberg and the like took in the last Presidential election, Was that influencing or was it campaigning and participating in your own Democracy.
Take your animosity toward the players out of it and I believe your pearl clutching at the statement will subside.

and that’s how conspiracy theories start. Nothing in the article mentions anything about Trump being assassinated.
Using that logic, nothing in the article mentions him not being .......
Reading the actual bill proposal it states "any protectee". I wonder if Benny understands that would also apply to Hunter.

Had the Donald just settled with E. Jean Carroll that would have been behind him... as it is now there will be more legal fees and "wrangling" involved and anyone's guess as to the outcome. , To me a great display of Ego and ignorance...
So.....the possibility that someone who so willingly puts themselves through the trouble and expense is actually defending their innocence, or at least that they are not guilty of the full accusation, is not even a consideration in your mind. Or is this standard only applied to certain people.
Settling is what got us here so apparently that isn't the answer and IMO people/companies being wiling to jump right to that option and not fighting is a huge mistake that just snowballs.

I just had a thought. After Trump ended up with a judge who refused to recuse himself based on his daughter doing work for Biden and the DNC, a prosecutor who ran his campaign to get elected based on his promise to "GET TRUMP" a misdemeanor charge that has passed the statue of limitations being "reincarnated and rolled into a felony by wrapping it up to a FEDERAL charge that NO FEDERAL AUTHORITIES that could have brought charges against Trump (FEC for violating federal campaign finance law, DOJ for fraudulent records keeping etc), I came up with this. Since he's not going to get a fair trial and keeping of the campaign trail for up to 2 months, why does he not change his plea from Not Guilty to Nolo Contendere?

Have you driven it ?
My experience is the ride/performance doesn't in any way live up to the look and having the engine directly behind your head became mind numbing after more than a short ride.
IMO a turbo/SC Slingshot with suspension and tire upgrades blows it away in every way from behind the wheel. I'd sell it if you gave it to me.
Not that I have an opinion .......

......and he said the rancher about 2 or 3 bucks per pound... so we can see where the mark up is..
With our family business in agriculture I would.urge you to research how many times that steak was touched between the rancher and your plate as well as the regulatory costs at each step. You will be surprised how it adds up and how it can in fact be reduced with policy changes. Transportation would be the first step.

The problem with your theory is that if he did not do anything illegal, he would never have been investigated for wrong doing in the first place.

Watching the press availability between Joey and the PM of Japan.
They should have just handed the cards Joey was reading from to the interpreter because it was obvious he didn't utter a word that wasn't printed on the cards. Even with the cards he forgot to pause so the interpreter could catch up.
