    Like that certain relative at the family reunion who is quite creative at finding ways of turning the discussion about virtually any topic into one about their favorite topic.

    As long as Trump is head of the conservative movement in this country, us liberals will respond. When you all stop supporting him, we will stop talking about him.
    I'm not supporting him, sunshine. Never have.

    Deal?
    When you stop letting Trump make you post nutty stuff.

    Because it is a prominent example of this sort of thing. And Trump has yet to face charges for this.

    Cohen was convicted on several counts, one of which was making an illegal campaign contribution at the request of a candidate (Individual 1 = Trump) for the purpose of influencing the election. This was the payment to Stormy Daniels. An audio tape was released of Trump and Cohen discussing the particulars of this payment.

    IIRC, that was the crux of the controversy -- why and how the payments were made with those on the left declaring it was illegal while everyone else was saying that if it was asserted that the person did so in an attempt to avert marital strife and embarrassment to the family, it would not be.

    Are you sure that was why he went to jail? I thought it was mainly over bank and tax issues. And didn't one of the porn stars, Stormy Daniels, end up getting ordered to pay court costs and damages to Trump for something or other?

    How did you not know, as Trump's campaign paid off two porn stars that he had affairs with, and Trump's lawyer went to prison for this.

    If the story you report is true, then Grisham does not have much of a future in politics.

    It looks like some wimmenfolk politicians can be just as bad as any man.

    The campaign organization of New Mexico's governor, Michelle Lujan Grisham has agreed to pay James Hallinan, her spokesman during the gubernatorial race, $62,500 over accusations of the governor pouring a bottle of water on his crotch and then, in front of other staffers, laughed as she grabbed his crotch through his clothes.

    I didn't know a campaign could pay off a settlement of that nature. That seems rather personal in nature.

    Anywho, the story is here behind a boring innocuous title: Gov.'s campaign settles with ex-spokesman
