Bullsh!t, Tucker. Wrong is wrong. We don't (and shouldn't) accept "but everyone's doing it!" from our children. We sure as hell shouldn't accept it from our candidates and elected officials. You're right we shouldn't accept it, so don't forget that Obama violated election laws. From Politico in 2013... "President Barack Obama’s 2008 campaign was fined $375,000 by the Federal Election Commission for campaign reporting violations — one of the largest fees ever levied against a presidential campaign, POLITICO has learned." And spare us all the "it's different when Obama does it" mantra that never fails to follow. If Obama did same, I'd say same. So spare me the accusation that I would give him a pass and not current POTUS. The Obama campaign was held accountable for their violations, trump should do same for his. I think he'd gladly pay the $375,000 to make it stop but I don't think it will because there seems to be much more to his story, but we will see. That being said, I've looked to find similarities in the two. Other than falling under "campaign finance laws" they don't seem to be "same" and can't be treated as such. Trump’s comparison of the Cohen allegations to Obama is entirely wrong

Kyle Griffin... “Fox News poll: Do you favor or oppose Medicare for All? 46% Favor 31% Oppose 23% Don't know Is health care the responsibility of American government? 63% Yes 30% No” I wonder if trump labeled this poll “fake news” while watching Fox during his executive time? WOW, closer to honest than most things they say!!

And spare us all the "it's different when Obama does it" mantra that never fails to follow. You consistently try to compare apples to oranges. Your posting here has become devoid of facts and has been nothing but right wing propaganda talking points. You are a mouthpiece for trump and you know it. You regurgitate anything in support of trump as gospel and denounce anything for what you think is the “other side”. Even when facts debunk your bullshit. You had to create an ALT ID on this board just for the sole purpose of harassing the liberal peas. President Obama did NOT get away with anything. It was discovered in a regular campaign audit that donor names were inadvertently left off paperwork during the last 48 hours of legit donating, the donor names were provided, a fine was doled out, paid, and there was nothing illegal about the donations made. It was paperwork. But because you have repeatedly revealed yourself as a trumpeteer stooge who doesn’t give a rats butt about truth and facts of what actually happened and are complacent with trumps fake/wrong version of truth and facts, your words and opinions are nothing more than verbal bullshit. All that people like you do is try try try to silence those who seek the actual truth with your bullshit lies and incorrect information—-this dickhead in office is not fit, not equipped, is mentally ill, dangerous to America, a dumb fuck bag of shit—-yet you are a-okay spreading his so called truth. You own him because you support him—and you do support him. You’re lying if you say otherwise because you sure go on a bender in his defense. Look at the facts sweetie—trump and his team have more guilty pleas, convictions, lying, and the shit he says about all of this is worse than all modern day presidents in my lifetime. He is NOT good. There is NOTHING good about him. He has done NOTHING good for America.

linkOh the irony.. From AP. “Big oil asks government to protect it from climate change”From the article... PORT ARTHUR, Texas (AP) — As the nation plans new defenses against the more powerful storms and higher tides expected from climate change, one project stands out: an ambitious proposal to build a nearly 60-mile "spine" of concrete seawalls, earthen barriers, floating gates and steel levees on the Texas Gulf Coast. Like other oceanfront projects, this one would protect homes, delicate ecosystems and vital infrastructure, but it also has another priority — to shield some of the crown jewels of the petroleum industry, which is blamed for contributing to global warming and now wants the federal government to build safeguards against the consequences of it. Our overall economy, not only in Texas but in the entire country, is so much at risk from a high storm surge," said Matt Sebesta, a Republican who as Brazoria County judge oversees a swath of Gulf Coast. But the idea of taxpayers around the country paying to protect refineries worth billions, and in a state where top politicians still dispute climate change's validity, doesn't sit well with some." The oil and gas industry is getting a free ride," said Brandt Mannchen, a member of the Sierra Club's executive committee in Houston. "You don't hear the industry making a peep about paying for any of this and why should they? There's all this push like, 'Please Senator Cornyn, Please Senator Cruz, we need money for this and that.'"
Normally outspoken critics of federal spending, Texas Sens. John Cornyn and Ted Cruz both backed using taxpayer funds to fortify the oil facilities' protections and the Texas coast. Cruz called it "a tremendous step forward“

Clearly, Obama did pay the price there. I don’t see anyone condoning that. Trump also had to pay fines for the same thing. But what we are talking about here IS a different crime and to point to Obama at every turn is very old. Even her "jokes" are "whatabouts". It's just poking.

And spare us all the "it's different when Obama does it" mantra that never fails to follow. Think of it in terms of your taxes: there is a big difference between being fined for making a mistake on your taxes (or what's called tax avoidance) and the felony of evading taxes. That's what we've got here. If all Trump did was make mistakes in filing campaign finance documents, we wouldn't be here, and Cohen wouldn't have pled guilty to committing felonies at the President's bidding. In other words, Obama's campaign was tax avoidance; Trump's campaign was tax evasion. And we haven't even gotten to the indictments on Russian collusion yet. Just wait, it's coming. Don Jr. will be in jail before long.

Per MSN: The CEO of the National Inquirer has been granted immunity in the Cohen case...stay tuned.
David Pecker, the chief executive of the company that publishes the National Enquirer, was granted immunity by federal prosecutors for providing information about Michael Cohen and Donald Trump in the criminal investigation into hush-money payments for two women during the 2016 presidential campaign, according to people familiar with the matter.
In exchange for immunity, Mr. Pecker, CEO of American Media, Inc., has met with prosecutors and shared details about payments Mr. Cohen arranged in an effort to silence two women who alleged sexual encounters with Mr. Trump, including Mr. Trump’s knowledge of the deals, some of the people said. Prosecutors have indicated that Mr. Pecker won’t be criminally charged for his participation in the deals, the people said.
Mr. Pecker has previously said he is a longtime friend of President Trump and Mr. Cohen.
Prosecutors have indicated Dylan Howard, chief content officer of American Media, also won’t be criminally charged in the Cohen investigation, according to a person familiar with the matter.
Mr. Pecker’s assistance appeared to have informed the charging documents made public on Tuesday as part of Mr. Cohen’s guilty plea to eight criminal charges, including campaign-finance violations tied to the payments.
During his guilty-plea hearing, Mr. Cohen, Mr. Trump’s former personal lawyer, said that at Mr. Trump’s direction, he broke federal laws on campaign contributions by coordinating payments to the two women for the purpose of suppressing negative information about Mr. Trump and influencing the 2016 election.
American Media executives were involved in both hush-money deals that formed the basis of Mr. Cohen’s guilty plea to campaign-finance violations, prosecutors said. One was a $130,000 payment to Stephanie Clifford — a former porn actress who goes professionally by Stormy Daniels — to keep her from publicly discussing an alleged affair with Mr. Trump.
The second was a $150,000 payment made to former Playboy model Karen McDougal for her exclusive story of an alleged extramarital affair with Mr. Trump, a story that was purchased by American Media in August 2016 at Mr. Cohen’s urging, and then never published.
The immunity status of Mr. Pecker was first reported by Vanity Fair. The Wall Street Journal published Wednesday that Mr. Pecker provided information to prosecutors.

David Axelrod... “Trying to recall if the Obama campaign ever engaged in an elaborate conspiracy to hide the payment of hush money days before an election to women whose stories would embarrass the candidate and imperil the campaign.🤔 Uh, no. Nothing routine about this. It’s a crime.” Try to recall the time the Obama administration weaponized the IRS against conservatives. In order to influence an election.

Max Boot, a columnist who writes for the Washington Post and happens to be a conservative, let it slip the other day in his column that the group of IRS employees who gave the Tea Party a bad time also gave some liberal organizations the same bad time. It seems these IRS employees had a problem with these conservative and liberal type groups. In other words no scandal involving President Obama. Just some equal opportunity rouge IRS employees. That is probably why the Republicans in Congress dropped it.

That is probably why the Republicans in Congress dropped it. 2013 inspector general's report stating "inappropriate criteria were used to identify tax-exempt applications for review." The IRS acknowledged in 2013 that it had targeted organizations with "tea party" or "patriot" in their names. The agency apologized for the conduct, with top official Lois Lerner calling the agency's decisions "absolutely inappropriate." The time the Obama administration weaponized the IRS against conservatives. In order to influence an election.
