Republicans don't even care if you know their lying

Everyone is already "paying the price": billions per year.

No doubt. The shift of the tax burden away from corporations and the 1% will cost us billions per year. We haven’t produced enough kids to pay the enormous upcoming costs of Medicare and Social Security, so essential to retiring boomers, most of whom haven’t saved enough. Immigrants are absolutely required to make up the difference. Along with far higher taxes on the 1%.

"Michael D. Cohen, President Trump’s longtime personal lawyer, said on Tuesday that he had paid $130,000 out of his own pocket to a pornographic-film actress who had once claimed to have had an affair with Mr. Trump.
In the most detailed explanation of the 2016 payment made to the actress, Stephanie Clifford, Mr. Cohen, who worked as a counsel to the Trump Organization for more than a decade, said he was not reimbursed for the payment.
“Neither the Trump Organization nor the Trump campaign was a party to the transaction with Ms. Clifford, and neither reimbursed me for the payment, either directly or indirectly,” Mr. Cohen said in a statement to The New York Times. “The payment to Ms. Clifford was lawful, and was not a campaign contribution or a campaign expenditure by anyone.”
He declined to answer several follow-up questions, including whether Mr. Trump had been aware that Mr. Cohen made the payment, why he made the payment or whether he had made similar payments to other people over the years.
Mr. Cohen has previously said that Mr. Trump has denied an affair with Ms. Clifford, whose stage name is Stormy Daniels. She has said the affair took place soon after Mr. Trump’s wife, Melania, gave birth to the couple’s son, Barron." NY Times

No, it doesn't. It's all about trying to avoid criminal charges for a campaign finance crime.

All this proves, the average Republican voter is as gullible as the party leaders believe them to be. Feed them a story no matter how outlandish it may be in order for them to be distracted long enough from the truth. Till the next news flash is there to distract.

Not sure if this new item deserves a new thread, but here it is. Trey Gowdy and his House Oversight Committee is going to investigate WH aide Porter's employment and security clearances. He has subpoenaed documents from both Kelly & Wray. This could get very interesting unless this is a whitewash attempt by Gowdy Benghazi. Of course a similar investigation is going on in the Senate Intelligence Committee, so this may just be a me too. Either way the negative media attention is bound to make DTD go tweet tweet. Hopefully Kelly will depart and take HH with him.

I'm skeptical of Gowdy's intentions. I suspect that his plan is to provide Ryan and McConnell the opportunity to not have to answer questions on this issue. They can simply respond that Gowdy is on the case.

And now this:

NEW YORK (AP) — Stormy Daniels, the porn star whom President Donald Trump’s personal attorney acknowledges paying $130,000 just before Election Day, believes she is now free to discuss her alleged sexual encounter with Trump.

A manager for the adult film actress told The Associated Press on Wednesday that Daniels believes Trump’s lawyer invalidated a non-disclosure agreement by publicly discussing the payment.
