There's no line for "illicit payments to my mistress" or "bribes accepted from foreign governments. The only thing they would be able to get him on would be unreported income and/or failure to pay taxes owed, and they would have certainly found that by now.

But we all know that almost every tax cheat and ponzi schemer has escaped the claws of justice by blaming their CPAs so

Originally posted by Tassman View PostOh you mean the crimes, e.g. the overwhelming pile of evidence suggesting that Trump pressured a foreign country to damage a political rival.
2) If it's so compelling, why not transmit the AoI to the Senate?
Yeah, I know, cause the Democrats are afraid the Republicans will treat their part of the process like the Democrats did.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

Biden is a joke. If he is the best the democrats have, then welcome to 4 more years of Trump. Elizabeth Warren isn't much better. Heck I think Yang is better than both of them but he doesn't have much of a following. He at least makes sense and can speak in complete sentences on stage.

Final Election result: Clinton +2.1
It's only willful fools, at this point, who pretend that polling was wide of the mark. It was in line with or slightly better than past elections.
Biden has some trouble speaking on stage, sure. Some of that is attributable to his lifelong struggle with stuttering. What's Trump's excuse?
