he attempted an NDA and was so ridiculously bad at it that Stormy ran circles around him and could easily spill all the deep dark secrets without fear of reprecussions

because trump couldn't stand this he couldn't keep his mouth shut and the more they dig the more they found out just what kind of poo poo he's been up to in general

First, bribe money can be laundered from the “client” through the lawyer as fictitious legal services. The lawyer can issue bogus invoices to the client in amounts sufficient to cover bribe payments, a commission to the lawyer, and a gross-up for any taxes the lawyer would have to pay on the fee income (bagmen, after all, don’t want to be stuck paying taxes on amounts they pay out as bribes). Sound familiar?

Second, by disguising the bribes as payments for legal fees, businesses can try to write them off as expenses (bribes are not deductible). This is tax evasion, of course, but it is common practice for the corrupt. Third, the lawyer-client relationship can be an impediment to law enforcement. It can be very difficult for prosecutors to pierce what appears on the surface to be a legitimate attorney-client relationship.

So now we have Giuliani confirming that this is exactly how Trump and Cohen operated. Hush money to Stormy Daniels is one thing and certainly raises potential serious campaign finance violations, but she is not a public official. What I find most significant about Rudy’s admission is what it says about the nature of the relationship between Trump and Cohen and how it suggests an M.O. for other more serious crimes.

Some other "odinist" cuntwaffle wrote the Pagan Federation whether they were serious, and

Pagan Federation Ireland operates a zero tolerance approach to racism and homophobia, both of which were abundantly clear in the initial communication.

Your values, as stated here on your website - https://odinia.org/what-are-values/ - are incompatible with ours.

If your religious beliefs or practices incorporate either racism or homophobia, then you will not find a home here.

As you seem to wish to make some sort of political issue of this, might we suggest the following:

Screenshots are so very amateur, and prone to being disbelieved.

For a proven donation of €10 to any Irish Pagan organisation, not necessarily ourselves, or to the Native Woodland Trust -http://www.nativewoodlandtrust.ie/en/, we will send you a signed copy of the statement on headed notepaper.

Laminated if you wish.

We will also send you permission to distribute the letter, in its complete form only, as widely as you wish.

The €10 will cover two copies of the letter, one of which we will have framed and put on the office wall, lest we ever forget.

Yours most sincerely

How my president's tariffs would cripple my company

I am a business owner, a proud Republican, and a voter who supports President Donald Trump's campaign to level U.S. trade imbalances.

I am also angry, frustrated and a little scared, because the unintended consequences of the president's $50 billion tariffs on China would cripple my business in Auburn Hills and strip my 50 employees of their good-paying jobs.

This is crazy.

My company, Lucerne International, makes cast, stamped and forged components and assemblies for the automotive and heavy truck industries. Our largest contract is for the Jeep Wrangler. As one of the world's only companies producing Class-A forgings, we make the door, hood, windshield and tailgate hinges that sit outside Wranglers like polished jewels.

We're drat proud of this work.

It starts overseas — we have seven plants in Asia, where the hinges are manufactured. They are shipped to the Lucerne plant outside Detroit, inspected, repackaged and sent to another auto supplier for assembly before being shipped to Toledo for installation on the vehicle.

That's a supply chain: Thousands of American jobs.

Billions of American dollars.

And it's all in danger.

For some strange and destructive reasons, the proposed Trump tariffs include an obscure provision calling for a 25 percent tax on "iron or steel, aluminum, or zinc hinges and base metal parts … designed for motor vehicles."

Those are our hinges. As far as I know, no other company falls under this provision buried in a $50 billion list of products. For every $2,000 in duties proposed by the U.S., $1 directly impacts Lucerne.

For the life of me, I can't figure out why my certified woman-owned company in the heart of Trump country is being targeted.

Beijing will pass that tax onto me. My customers — other U.S. auto suppliers and U.S. auto companies — will not absorb the cost, nor will U.S. auto buyers. It's a tax on my Michigan company and my Michigan employees, and we can't absorb it.

Ninety-percent of our more than $40 million in revenue is tied to products that fall under the new tariff provision. Unless the president grants an exclusion, Lucerne will fold.

I'm angry and scared.

Scared that my president is about to make a terrible mistake.

Scared for my employees, who love their jobs, who make good money, and who get their college tuitions paid.

Scared for my community and my country, which is about to be blindsided by a bad policy forged of best intentions.

On the big picture, the president is right: U.S. trade deficit needs to be tamed. But, please, not this way — and not when Lucerne is poised to grow to $50 million in revenue next year and expand its Michigan workforce by 25 percent.

Grant us an exclusion, Mr. President. Give us time to finish our work and bring manufacturing back to Michigan.

Because there is not enough capacity to make these parts anywhere in the United States, we were planning on opening a manufacturing plant in central Michigan to reshore this work. But it takes time to bend the arc of economic change — much more time than allowed under the administration's trade strategy. It also requires a re-engineering of the American workforce.

With 4 percent unemployment, we have a hard time finding people to work in our plant outside Detroit today.

One of the reasons for the strong Trump economy: More workers in the U.S. make products that are made from steel than make steel itself. Billions of dollars are pumped into the American economy by the unique and ingenious ways U.S. companies use steel and aluminum components — like we do at Lucerne.

I wonder: Does President Trump know that his tariff on imported components threatens almost every manufacturing job in Michigan?

Does he know that my little company in my little corner of Michigan would lose 90 percent of its business overnight? Does he understand that a 25 percent tax on the components Lucerne uses would evaporate my profit margins? That it would shut us down?

I don't think he does. Because I know my president cares — and I've got to believe he will change his mind, grant sensible exclusions, and help companies like Lucerne make America great again

Yes please post all the non-politics or just-politics-adjacent happy news you want in here! Even if it's just personal stuff. This being CSPAM I'll try to make sure we don't miss anything that good on the political side, but we're stuck with small politics stories most of the time. It could be a long while until indictments and trial dates actually start coming out fast enough and obvious enough to sustain a whole thread off of. It'd be nice to not wait till then to see some progress and hopeful things that are happening in the world.
