So true! What’s that expression? All press is good press. We could never forget him if he’s never off the damn TV.

I see that another meeting of the Mental Midgets Club is about to convene here, so I won’t waste much time pointing out that if the fools you support would not abuse the justice system and charge him with fake crimes, he would be on TV less. And your TV likely does have an on/off switch. Anyway, enjoy your meeting. I will show myself out.

Oh, and one more thing. I'll defend the very mindful readers and thoughful posters to this site for as long as I continue with it. It's a fantastic community and I'm proud of the group here that contribute to it.

What I won't tolerate are the casual vulture trolls who drop in, insult everyone and claim to have a better grasp of what is going on than people who clearly are more intelligent, well read and appreciate diverse opinions.

Show yourself out and don't come back. And just to be sure, consider yourself blocked.

I really think you need to read this post that I made last summer. It might answer all of your inane ideas.

I didn't realize Avenatti had a connection to the Pepsi points case. That's incredible.

I know what you are saying, but a former president of the United States is being charged with 34 felonies! Obviously with Trump it means less, because this is probably the 5th worst crime he committed that week, but if any other president was up there I think we would see the same coverage. This is a big deal.

I agree wholeheartedly with you regarding the trump obsession these cable news networks have. I no longer watch TV news (I prefer online subscriptions to NYT, WAPO, and the various aggregators to fill in the gaps), you can read up on anything of interest at your own pace and ignore the frivolous. I'd be curious to know if the question you posed to CNN was ever seen by anyone there - it was excellent advice.

I don't follow it because I don't watch the news.....BUT......in the clips that I see, trump is looking terribly old/fragile/tired/worried. There isn't enough orange makeup that can cover it up! He looks like he's aged 10 years over the past year.

So, you object to Trump “taking up all the oxygen in the room.” But you also admit this is about nothing more than accounting entries , but then your real concern is that FOX will benefit. The story here (for all of you fake journalists) is the grotesque abuse of the justice system. Get a clue.

Hm.... You seem nice. Like all MAGA defending nitwits, you seem pretty clueless too.

I don't care if Fox benefits. I care about legitimate news networks giving a proportionate amount of time to a story that it deserves. This doesn't deserve the amount it is getting.

Yes, Trump is sucking up all the news coverage. Its stupid.

Yes, this story is about accounting entries. The amount of coverage it is being given is disproportionate to the amount of coverage it is receiving.

Abuse of the justice system? Umm, he did these things, has all but admitted them and its a crime. Is it a serious one? Not really. The classified documents and GA Voter Tampering cases are much more serious. I suppose you'd say bringing those are abuses of the justice system too. Here's my advice for Donald Trump and MAGA people who think this is abuse.

Where’s the abuse? Trump did everything he’s being accused of. And he admits it!

Answer me this question: If Trump did what he says he did- if he committed these crimes- why shouldn’t he be tried and convicted?
