In related news today, the US House of Representatives just voted to ban Tik Tok in the new Ukrainian money dump bill. Will the Senate agree with the House vote?
Thomas Sowell: There are no solutions, just trade-offs.
I knew you wouldn't understand the nuances of the differences. Here, let me quote what I posted a few days ago.
First of all, Clinton did not pay Paula Jones to keep quiet. It was a lawsuit settlement.
Second, Trump is accused of falsifying business records with the intent to violate federal campaign finance limits, unlawfully influence the 2016 U.S. presidential election, and commit tax fraud. 34 counts in total.
Big difference, but of course, you don't see that.
Now try a google search. Here, let me do the work for you:
AP’S ASSESSMENT: False. Clinton and Trump’s cases have key differences, according to legal experts. Clinton’s $850,000 payment to Paula Jones in 1998 settled a civil lawsuit. The payment was public and legal, and the funds did not come from the government, nor did they amount to a campaign contribution. By comparison, the payment in Trump’s case was through a shell company and reimbursed by Trump, whose company logged the reimbursements as legal expenses in the final weeks of his 2016 presidential campaign.
Multiple legal experts said Clinton’s $850,000 payment to Jones as part of a settlement agreement is not considered "hush money" since the facts of the case were already publicly known.
You could do your own search instead of displaying your ignorance.

This used to be something that would land you in the Ring. I wonder if we can use other words now to describe fellow posters? Any mods around to clarify?
I don't know. Calling out ignorance when it is so plainly evident is not against the rules, at least it shouldn't be. Fred posted the same meme type twice, when it is clear that it was incorrect information, or should I say, disinformation.
Back to the topic at hand, opening statements at the trial today. I've got my popcorn close by! I wonder when Stormy will take the stand.
Maggie Haberman of The New York Times reported on Friday that former President Donald Trump once again fell asleep in court at his hush money trial.
This marks the third time Trump fell asleep in the courtroom, according to reporters who were present. Haberman’s observation was posted to the Times live feed of the proceedings. Jury selection was still underway on Friday after twelve jurors were seated; six alternates still have to be chosen. Opening statements are expected to take place on Monday.
Trump’s tendency to doze off in full view of the court has been the subject of mockery throughout the week. Haberman reported the first public nap on the first day of the trial, saying that he “appear[ed] to be sleeping.” Several other reporters corroborated her story.
