The Rat Cohen Show has shitlibs in a tizzy, and they’ve worked themselves into a pre-orgasmic froth that will, once again, end with them nursing a painful case of blue balls, because THEY WILL NEVER GET TRUMP.
The problem shitlibs have is that NDAs aren’t illegal; and Trump can plausibly claim an NDA with two mistresses was a discretion clause to protect his family from disruptive dirt. The man has spent his life paying off (consensual) lovers; his voters knew that about him, and they didn’t care when they voted for him, just like shitlibs didn’t care when Bill Clinton pounded and raped his way through a buffet line of chubby hickchicks (and self-serving thecunt stood by him because she knew it was her avenue to power and money laundering).
The leftoid-dominant Chaimstream Media, naturally, is trying way too hard to paint this Trump NDA as a campaign contribution which could have influenced the 2016 election, which would mean it comes under the purview of campaign finance law only IF Trump DIDN’T USE HIS OWN MONEY to pay off the mistress (he did). It is to laugh. First, Trump had the NDA for one of the woman drafted ten years ago. A putative campaign expenditure to deal with something that occurred long before the campaign, and was thus unrelated to campaign activity, is NOT a campaign finance violation. Second, if the “pussygrab” tape didn’t dissuade Trump voters, then news that he boffed a performance whore a decade ago would have elicited barely a shrug.
If the Fake News media and Clinton cleaner Mueller were really interested in justice and not in executing history’s greatest political hit job, then they’d investigate Hillary funneling campaign expenditures through her attorneys at Perkins Coie to pay Fusion GPS to influence the election via a phony dossier put together and delivered by a foreign agent (British spy Christopher Steel) colluding with the Clinton campaign.
Now THAT’S Real News.
A handy dandy /pol/ graphic explains it well:
There are few things more entertaining in our timeline than watching shitlibs hit Peak Hysteria, menstruate all over themselves, only to have the ARRGH DRUMPHELSTILTSKIN football pulled away at the last moment and them crash to the ground, deflated and emotionally spent. The withdrawal tantrums from this latest anti-Trump lunacy will be epic.
This time will be no different. My preferred reply to prematurely giddy shitlibs is, “hey, John Edwards got off for paying hush money to his mistress while his wife was dying of cancer. But I bet you didn’t care about that.”
TBH, no one cares anymore about salacious alpha male peccadilloes. Maybe that’s a poor reflection on the state of our culture, maybe not, but what it is for certain is a growing realization by the Right that if you constantly lose playing by the Left’s Fake Rules, it’s time to change the goddamned rules. Flip the table, smash the board, kick shitlib ass and take their women’s hyphenated names.
And it’s time for tradcons who are most gullible to this sort of “ugh I’ll never vote for a womanizer” shitlib double standard gotcha to grasp the reality of sexual dynamics. Wealthy, powerful men, like all men, are attracted to younger, pretty women. And younger, pretty women are attracted to wealthy, powerful men. It takes two to tango. Monica Lewinsky truly deeply loved Bill Clinton. And Trump truly deeply loves his wife enough to be discreet about his affairs and spare her any distress.
Rex Lex put it well,
I am not even sure Trump has affairs. For all we know, he and Melania have an “arrangement” which men and women have had since the beginning of civilization. I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s got permission to “step out” now and then.
I’d bet they do have an arrangement, perhaps unspoken (because it needn’t be spoken to be intuited). A crucial difference between President Trump and Bill Clinton is that Trump’s arrangement emerges from love for Melania, while Bill’s arrangement was really thecunt’s arrangement to further her political career.

Mark Penn, former pollster for the Clintons, has a great article about Cohen’s plea deal and its relation to the Rigged Witch Hunt by the Deep State against President Trump.
Here we go, from Russia with love, to campaign finance with love.
Why was Michael Cohen investigated? Because the “Steele dossier” had him making secret trips to meet with Russians that never happened, so his business dealings got a thorough scrubbing and, in the process, he fell into the Paul Manafort bin reserved by the special counsel for squeezing until the juice comes out. We are back to 1998 all over again, with presidents and candidates covering up their alleged marital misdeeds and prosecutors trying to turn legal acts into illegal ones by inventing new crimes.
The plot to get President Trump out of office thickens, as Cohen obviously was his own mini crime syndicate and decided that his betrayals meant he would be better served turning on his old boss to cut the best deal with prosecutors he could rather than holding out and getting the full Manafort treatment. That was clear the minute he hired attorney Lanny Davis, who does not try cases and did past work for Hillary Clinton. Cohen had recorded his client, trying to entrap him, sold information about Trump to corporations for millions of dollars while acting as his lawyer, and did not pay taxes on millions.
With a name like Cohen, what did you expect?
The sweetener for the prosecutors, of course, was getting Cohen to plead guilty to campaign violations that were not campaign violations. Money paid to people who come out of the woodwork and shake down people under threat of revealing bad sexual stories are not legitimate campaign expenditures. They are personal expenditures. That is true for both candidates we like and candidates we do not. […]
The usual procedures here would be for the Federal Election Commission to investigate complaints and sort through these murky laws to determine if these kinds of payments are personal in nature or more properly classified as campaign expenditures. On the Stormy Daniels payment that was made and reimbursed by Trump, it is again a question of whether that was made for personal reasons, especially since they have been trying since 2011 to obtain agreement. Just because it would be helpful to the campaign does not convert it to a campaign expenditure. Think of a candidate with bad teeth who had dental work done to look better for the campaign. His campaign still could not pay for it because it is a personal expenditure.
Contrast what is going on here with the treatment of the millions of dollars paid to a Democratic law firm which, in turn, paid out money to political research firm Fusion GPS and British spy Christopher Steele without listing them on any campaign expenditure form, despite crystal clear laws and regulations that the ultimate beneficiaries of the funds must be listed. This rule was even tightened recently. There is no question that hiring spies to do opposition research in Russia is a campaign expenditure, yet no prosecutorial raids have been sprung on the law firm, Fusion GPS or Steele. The reason? It does not “get” Trump.
So, Trump spends $130,000 to keep the lid on a personal story and the full weight of state prosecutors comes down on his lawyer, tossing attorney-client privilege to the wind. Democrats spend potentially millions on secret opposition research and no serious criminal investigation occurs. […]
With Cohen pleading guilty, there will be no test of soundness of the prosecution theories here, and it is yet another example of the double standards of justice of one investigation that gave Clinton aides and principals every benefit of the doubt and another investigation that targeted Trump people until they found unrelated crimes to use as leverage. Prosecutors thought nothing of using the Logan Act against former Trump national security adviser Michael Flynn, but they are using obscure and unsettled elements of campaign finance law against Trump lawyer Cohen to manufacture crimes in what is a naked attempt to take Trump down and defeat democracy. […]
These investigations, essentially based on an opposition dossier, were never anything other than an attempt to push into a corner as many Trump aides and family members as possible and shake them down until they could get close enough to Trump to try to take him down.
That is why so many of his aides, lawyers, and actions in the campaign and in the White House have undergone hour by hour scrutiny to find anything that could be colored into a crime, leaving far behind the original Russia collusion theory as the fake pretext it was.
I’m left wondering just how stupid the Deep Swamp must be if they think they can pull off this heist of a duly elected President in broad daylight without incurring the bloodlust of the millions of Americans who voted for Trump and continue to support him?
