What am I missing? This is a campaign finance violation right? This was what we expected would come of this, if anything. And something Trump opponents were hoping it wouldn't end at.

Guess this is what Q meant when he said the previews were over and the show was about to start.

Qanons will be devastated.

So Trump has to pay a fine as well?

It's more than nothing but certainly a disappointment* if you're hoping for impeachment.

ETA - disappointing if this is where it ends.

I'm not Trump's biggest supporter, but I dread it 1) It'll probably put Democrats in office 2) It'll result in more bitter divisiveness that is pretty exhausting, to be honest


If we are talking specifically about midterms the GOP absolutely deserves to lose the House. They didn’t do shite as far as immigration and healthcare are concerned.

This is apparently a huge deal to the desperate libs around here.


they're certainly popping up left and right


Is it a shock that every person elected President since Bush signed the Campaign Finance Reform Act in 2002 has been found guilty and fined?

At the least, this buys >2 yrs of additional legal crap.



For a fine over a campaign finance violation? We already knew that Cohen paid $130,000 to Stormy and that Trump paid him back.

Let this sink in folks...


"Show me the man and I will find his crime."

If you go after someone long enough you just might get him.














And burn down everything in the process.

Hopefully Trump pardons everyone just to piss off Mueller.

How so?

A sitting President was surrounded by indicted and guilty pleading criminals. Today, the President's lawyer has surrendered to the FBI and plead guilty to crimes committed at his behest. How in the world is the good for our country?

If the Democrats choose to pursue this they will have chosen to inaugurate civil war, something I have been wanting for some time. It's time for people to be slaughtered in their thousands and for blood to run in the streets. If that's what the Democrats want then so be it.


Well it certainly seems to be what YOU want.

Deep state won a battle today. The war has not been won.

This is due to the broad authority granted to the SC by Rosenstein. I wonder how chummy Trump feels about RR now.

Serious question:

If you are running for office, everything is campaign finance related? Seems Trump has been paying off hookers for decades.

Trump's best defense, and what has worked for him before, is mass hysteria (left and media) over convoluted wrongdoing that leads to the public's eyes glazing over
