Of course he supported Citizens United... he would be very happy to have corporations have the same rights as actual humans. He would be very happy to see Super PACS be able to spend unlimited funds on behalf of him. He would be happy to pay to have politicians "kiss his azz". He said so himself.

okayyyy... sure. But, hey, does that mean that Bondi didn't get paid $25,000 and then drop the investigation like a hot potato? Nope. He bought her. He bought her cheap. He can call where the money came from that he paid her "a filing mistake" all day, abut it doesn't negate that he paid her.

Yes, it does have to do with ethics and morals... one may be successful in business without putting small businesses, investors, and even little gilrs in a financial bind while he tries to "make as much money as possible". He is pond scum, has always been pond scum, and is an enemy of the American people.

Melania also wrote her a check for $25,000.

Pretty much. Business is business.

I don't even know why I click on these Lefty threads anymore. It's become nothing but cry-wolf click-bait lately.

He's running for President of the United States, and he's going to be faced with decisions that reflect not only his own ethics and morals, but the ethics and morals of the nation. Ethics and morals aren't something that you set aside when they aren't convenient. If Trump has felt free to operate without ethics and morals, then he is a man without character. Unfit to be President.
Clearly someone needs to return to civics class

Tomorrow of course, we'll have some fake outrage because someone donated to the Trump campaign.. and he took the check.

Pond scum I'd say is someone who takes money from countries that accept the rape and murder of women and children, and then runs around claiming they are fighting for the rights of this segment of society..

Accusations against Hillary are made up by the GOP RWNJ media. Nutty Don has found the audience to believe him even tho he lies to them all day every day.

Guy tries to bribe a cop= Bad

Here's the difference - there was absolutely no evidence of 'pay to play' on behalf of Clinton. None.

Someone returning an email is NOT evidence of buying influence. It's someone returning an email.

Clearly, Trump bribing the AG is a bright, clear line that leads directly to = Jail. He bribed a public official to stop an investigation of the fradulent Trump U. AND he used money from his foundation to do it.
