He has a history of not paying contractors and in fact Laura Cruz-Acosta, communications director for the City of El Paso confirmed Trump has an outstanding balance of $569,204.63 which includes a one-time late fee of $98,787.58 for his February 2019 visit.

The man is clearly a corrupt person with no ethics....and he could become the most powerful person on the planet? It just doesn't make sense. WTF is wrong with Americans?

before the 2016 election. The cat is out of the bag - so why would he worry about this prior to the Nov. election? I'm thinking it must involve something else? I don't think it would affect this election at all?

... right now. Melania is ignoring him. So trDUMPee wants to have another quickie raw dog with Stormy Daniels to relieve all his pent up stress. He is willing to pay her $600K this time if she will keep the rendezvous hush hush.

Can they even offer to accept a reduced amount on a judgement amount decided by the court?

This whole thing is effin’ nuts. And stooopid.

Which is proper with things such as how much interest. TSF was willing to take less money if Stormy signed an NDA.

Stormy would not agree so a higher settlement was agreed to.

and owes the attorney fees. If the situation were reversed, and he owed her attorney fees, she would probably never see it. He would just keep appealing and appealing until the end of time.

The only reason the first time was illegal is because they tried to hide it by having his company pay it. If he just has his campaign cut her a check it would be sleazy but totally legit.

Trump was offering a discount on the money owed by Stormy Daniels to Trump after a different case. He would essentially have been "paying" her "hush money" from her own bucket of money.

This whole thing is very weird. It will be interesting to see if it is illegal in any way. Mostly it seems like he bought a whole bunch of free advertising about how he is an adulterer who paid an adult actress for sex when his third wife was home tending to their newborn.

Plus she is somehow being shadowbanned on social media, which Rachel et al are looking into.

And he’s doing it again. So much for any claims of remorse at his upcoming sentencing hearing.

That criminal shithead is about to be "sentenced" for his 34 felony convictions on November 26 related to his "hush money" payments to Stormy -- now the Turd just again tried to "hush" Stormy up. It's not like he has shown any "remorse" whatsoever for his criminal convictions if he is again trying to "hush" Stormy up. Any claims of "remorse" or any plea for "leniency" at the criminal sentencing hearing will just be laughable. Any probabion "reports" or parole "reports" provided to the Court of the Turd's so-called "remorse" will likewise be laughable. This isn't going to bode well for the Turd. It's like an arsonist who is let out on bail prior to sentencing and the arsonist prior to the sentencing tries to burn down a church full of parishoners on a Sunday morning. Judge Merchan will not be fooled.

I can't keep up. Well, at least during the month of November.

I think that J. Merchan will not like this very much. This might even push Trump into prison. Maybe this is the October surprise! I know I'm very surprised. It's like he has no sensibility whatsoever.

TFG is scared of Stormy



https://www.rawstory.com/stormy-daniels-2669412796/

New reporting from MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow revealed that Donald Trump is once again attempting to keep Stormy Daniels silent before an election – despite the former president awaiting sentencing on 34 felony charges related to hush money payments before the 2016 election.

“We have just learned, we have reported out – 20 days before this election – we can report that he is once again trying to pay Stormy Daniels to be quiet,” Maddow said Wednesday night as part of a breaking news “special report.”

Maddow, who said she was “a little bit bewildered by it, as well as a little bit shocked” by the bombshell reporting noted that Trump was convicted earlier this year for making hush money payments to Daniels 11 days before the 2016 election.

The MSNBC host said the new information was discovered after Daniels’ appearance on her show, “The Rachel Maddow Show,” when a GoFundMe page setup by Daniels raised enough money to pay off hundreds of thousands of dollars in legal fees for Trump-related cases that she was still on the hook for......
