It was not about bribing porn stars. It was about bribing porn stars with other people's money and then claiming it was your money.

So, basic theft, guys.

That rhythmic sound you hear is that of my head hitting the desk over and over. People of older ages, not just younger ones, are rather too lightly informed, misinformed, and maybe a bit checked out of what's been going on.

Thanks Evan! Great post. But fuck the NYT. And Frank Luntz can go fuck himself

I do like that Ben guy, as much as I hate to admit it.

Who are you paraphrasing with that closing “Ben, ladies and gentlemen “? It’s so familiar from yore….a nice memory, but I can’t place it.

You're a fucking imbecile and your thoughts and words are some of the most ridiculous BULLSHIT that I have ever heard.

Ta, Evan. Anyone who is undecided after TFG's convictions for CRIMES is certifiable as A Idiot.

“Luntz talked to 11 undecided, legitimate swing voters — you know, morons!”

Let’s be fair, they could just be…well…OK yes, they are morons.

The level of awareness in the US electorate makes me despair (I do blame media "both-sides-ism" and lazy/ sensationalist "journalism" for much of this ignorance.)

for the people that don't want a felon like Trump to be President so will instead vote for RFK Jr. ... ummm...

"Robert F. Kennedy Jr. pleaded guilty today to a felony charge of possessing heroin aboard an airline flight to Rapid City."

Yes but did he say he wasn't when he purchased a gun.

To be fair, I don't think I could fly to Rapid City without some smack either.

A little Inca Roads reference at the end there?

"Luntz talked to 11 undecided, legitimate swing voters . . .

(Only ONE of them, a 58-year-old white idiot from Pennsylvania named John. That absolute dipshit also said “martyred” when the focus groupers were asked to give one word to describe Trump.)"

How is John a legitimate, undecided voter? That's like saying that Vlad Putin is a legitimate, democratically elected leader.

yeah they went and rounded up a bunch of republicans, and that one lady that might be an actual swing voter.

"Frank, the 65-year-old Arizona white dude, said Trump is disqualified for him, not because this crime was so bad — 'Everybody bribes someone, somewhere,'"

Is there a chance that Frank serves on the Supreme Court? Justice Alito????

"He also says he cares about “reproductive rights” — that’s how he phrased it — so good for him, we think?"

Be careful. In MAGA circles, "reproductive rights" means the right of a man to force a woman to reproduce, however he gets his sperm into her.

I thought Frank Luntz was a professional. He didn't ask which porn stars would be better to fuck than Stormy Daniels?

I'm so pissed. I read through an article about the opinions of the common clay of the new west, and I'm still deprived of the one piece of information I really need?

Fuck Trump.

Edit: And while we're at it, fuck Ben for not volunteering that important item.

"The Beltway media needs to believe that because HORSE RACE! HORSE RAAAAAACE!

MAGA idiots need to believe it because of their feelings."

Sweet Jeebus I hate this timeline

TFG's blessing does not appear to be good enough...
