      So the falsifying is the illegal bit.

      The rest of the tweet is moralising.

        More to the point, the paperwork crimes would have been misdemeanors if he hadn’t been doing it all for the explicit purpose of influencing an election. That’s what made them felonies.

        Yeah, if he was upfront about things then there would be no criminal case

        However saying he set up shell companies to carry out falsification isn’t moralising

          Writing “disgusting transactions” is moralistic.

          Doesn’t help to win over Republicans.

            I think you misread. He said “disguising”, which only means intent to keep hidden by masking the truth.

              The only disgusting (immoral) part of this is Trump cheating on his wife.

              Everything else could have been achieved perfectly legally (i.e. without disgust) if Trump had been smart.

              I don’t want to disgust you, but “intending to keep things hidden by masking the truth” is practically the definition of politics.

                Dude, you have trouble reading. It says “disguising”. Your side really fails at the most basic human functions, over and over again.

                  And finding something disgusting is a moral position.

                    That tweet doesn’t mention the word disgusting at all.

            I don’t think anyone is still naive enough to think you can win over Republicunts. The way to stop Trump is to battle voter apathy and tear down barriers to vote, because the majority will not vote for Trump if they get to cast their votes.

              I read somewhere that higher voter turnout in general benefits Trump (like in 2016).

              ^(People should still vote though)

                I can find both opinions: Helps Trump / helps Biden, so probably nobody the fuck knows. I am still sure that the reason Trump won in 2016 was too many Democrat voters being put off by Clinton + the “Bernie Bro” crowd staying home.

                  Agreed.

                  I would add that some Trump supporters would possibly have been persuaded to vote for Bernie.

          I have no idea if that statement is true. I just wanted to illustrate how unhelpful your comment was.

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
