You decide your level of scrutiny based on the viewpoint of the poster. That is, in fact, text book bias.

Allegedly

But we can wait and see on that one

For now, I suggest we agree to disagree

Excellent misrepresentation of what was said.

I probably would if they were constantly sniveling about the inequity of the "echo chamber"

But don't let me stop the boot licking bonanza

Nothing is wrong with bias. Indeed knowing your biases is a strength. Hence, #Growth.

You showed TREMENDOUS #GROWTH when you defended Roy Moore to the bitter end.

I defended due process, and will continue to defend it. Historically, the erosion of due process has not worked out well for people that look like me.

The reimbursement was reported in the 2017 disclosures.

President's often leave things off of disclosures, often resulting in fines.

Here is one such example:

https://www.politico.com/story/2013/01/obama-2008-campaign-fined-375000-085784

Your example is a campaign finance violation.

If Trump willfully ommitted that disclosure from the financial disclosure he released in 2017, that's a different crime. Why does this need to be explained to a lawyer...?

And according to the SDNY prosecutors, Cohen was reimbursed for $420,000 in 2017 in monthly installments of $35k checks.
Trump's 2018 financial disclosure only listed the reimbursement as ranging between $101,000 to $250,000.

Because of the power structure that exists, evolved and is perpetuated by people like DT and old white dudes that make up the GOP.

Oh please, the Obama campaign missed a 48 hour deadline to report $1,000 or more contributions before the election cutoff because they got a late rush of campaign contributions. Trump was actively hiding the contributions. Don't equate the two situations.

Also omitted numerous payments for sex from ladies that looked like his daughter (his words) and payments from other countries. Some of those payments actually being sex

Important tidbits

Ah, my mistake. I guess I assumed you were talking about viewpoints as they pertain to the topic of politics.

You were just painting yourself as a victim anyway you could.

Breh defending due process for the folks that selectively believe in it

Sooooo when we were talking about vaccines I did not realize there were ongoing measles outbreaks in the US right now

I'm still trying to figure out if I should be worried about these house cats they're finding with bubonic plague

No one ever suggested ridding the system of due process, it's just a convenient talking point for this guy to misrepresent views.

Believing Roy Moore committing acts of sexual assault is not the same as stating someone should be sent to jail on allegations alone.

But he knows that, he's just trolling.

Does not. You are again talking about "ifs."

I agree that if he committed a crime, then he committed a crime.

I'm not trolling at all. Believing someone committed acts of sexual assault and are thus disqualified for a certain position, based merely on allegations is, indeed, an erosion of due process.

But you know that, you're just trolling.

Implying that I condone sexual assault, rape, and/or pedophilia is just a convenient talking point for you to misrepresent views.

If Roy Moore did what he was accused of, then it is disgusting. The fact that the "if it is true" caveat is conveniently ignored is the real nonsense.

So do you support the erosion of due process or not?

The Roy Moore thing is when a couple people went on block. His whole town outed him, hand written sexual evidence, multiple families, entire schools, entire malls..... “he didn’t go to jail did he??” Becuase going to jail is the end all be all to everything....... becuase we’ve never seen police shoot innocent people and not go to jail....

This is easy to glance over as just another tweet.

But take a moment to take it all in, this is the highest office, maybe of the world.
