Trump's campaign seems full of pedos.

Ralph Shortey, former Oklahoma state senator and a county campaign coordinator for President Donald Trump’s campaign last year, will plead guilty to a child sex trafficking offense for soliciting sex from a 17-year-old boy in March.

In exchange for his guilty plea, government prosecutors have agreed to drop three counts of child pornography against him.

What would constitute an illegal strike?

Anything without provocation or direct nuclear action by the other combative country. Furthermore, imho, any use of nucs would be immoral, and would surely cause the end of society, not to mention life on this rock, as we know it.

Possibly out of a sense of post WW2 guilt, the US has pledged not to be the first user of their nuclear arsenal. A pledge that unlike many others, we have, at least to this point, kept. Unlike many others.

Any military member may be held liable and fully responsible for obeying an illegal order...to obey makes you no better than the fool who issued said order.

And oh yeah...there was this, which must be making General and Flag officers nervous...no one wants to be THAT GUY...the one responsible for pushing the Button.

question: if trump gets too worried about all the russia stuff that mueller’s digging up, and if he copped to obstruction of justice on his own and resigned, would/could mueller keep digging (or is there a legal/procedural obligation for him to see it through to the end, no matter what), or would he (or would be be required to) end his investigation?

AFAIK his mandate is open ended.

Interesting question...but it would never happen as the ego of Orange Foolious would never resign.

Question.
If his funding is cut off by political act to stop him, is he able to be receive external funding (either self funding or other 3rd party) or is that illegal?
Sorry not up with the play on how your legal processes and rules work with this kind of investigation.

Remember that the investigation into the "Lewinski scandal" started out as Ken Starr's Whitewater investigation. Even though Bill's cigars had nothing to do with real estate, here we are.

You mean his legal defense costs? I believe the RNC is covering those currently. Will they, or can they, just cut him off? I don't know, but I doubt they would. The ship has sailed I think, and they own it now.

Hmmm...maybe he is being cut off. We can only hope...

interesting bit:

"Dowd said that the president is worried about staffers who have hired good lawyers to represent them, but whose services they cannot afford."

to me that says he wants the staffers to think of him as on their side (despite his own self serving interests) so that, in the face of potential indictments, charges, etc, they'll opt to fight rather than cop a plea and squeal like a pig and thowing his cheetoness under the bus.

IIRC, he started the Trump 2020 campaign the day after taking office. He can officially accept donations (bribes) from his future (doomed) campaign and use that to pay his legal costs.

 

[Pesqueeb]

I'd have to go look for it, but I have read that there is some speculation that the RNC itself may have received a fair amount of money from Russian sources too. They may be eager to distance themselves from any Trump/Russia investigation in hopes they don't fall under scrutiny themselves.

I think I heard that although that's true the campaign is limited as to how much money it can raise during a fixed period of time. If they raise and spend all of the cash on legal defense they'll have no money for a legitimate second campaign.

i can't remember which link it was in, but one of them states that the steele dossier was actually originally initiated by the RNC before cheeto was the nominee, at which point they actually handed over the investigation to the DNC.

if it's a legitimate second campaign there's a way to shut it down

Didn't he say he would pay the legal fees for folks who punched protesters, too?

If only he felt the same way about healthcare.

I don't know if it is a good or bad thing, but living in communist Seattle there isn't any point in calling my representative because we are in agreeance.


The only good thing I can see coming out of this is added competition. Perhaps a company like google will step up open access whilst the sleazy Comcasts of the world try to throttle and upcharge you for what even today is a shit product.

Of course that will leave those that can't afford it to be part of the corporate mind hive.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The head of the Federal Communications Commission on Tuesday proposed that the U.S. agency vote next month to reconsider rules preventing a company from owning stations serving more than 39 percent of households with a television, a move that could speed consolidation in the industry.

He might be a pedo, but at least he aint liberal.

"We don't need a liberal person in there," Trump said of Moore's rival, Democrat Doug Jones. "We don't need somebody who's soft on crime like Jones."

So the "at least he aint a dem" has become a standard measure now. Wow.

I'm sure he was just going through the pedophile phase and grew out of it. Being a Democrat is a much more severe mental illness.

But he denied it, so he is innocent. Franken admitted so he is guilty. Trump also denies his assault allegations, so he is clearly innocent.
