@EdKrassen He looks stupid either way, but he needs to live with his bad decision and carry Vance to term.

@Acyn What would Jesse Watters know about what men would and wouldn't do? He's never been one.

[𝑴𝒂𝒕𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒘 𝑳𝒆𝒆 𝑴𝒚𝒆𝒓𝒔 @themattylee]

@BasedTorba For sure dude. He was definitely one of those left wing Biden supporters with a Gab account. That's a very real thing that definitely exists and we'll take your word for it with zero supporting evidence because you're an unbiased source of information on the matter.

@utahmom333 @BasedMikeLee Just to be clear, the guy who paid hush money to the porn star is the leader of the "good" side in this fight? And the people enforcing the laws are the "evil" ones? Seems a little counterintuitive to me, so I just need a bit of clarification here.

@ronrule Who appointed Jerome Powell as chairman of the federal reserve with full knowledge that he intended to keep interest rates as low as possible during a stable economic period?

It's not a partisan problem, but it is a problem created by the guy you are voting for.

@GovMikeHuckabee @realDonaldTrump 3) Passthrough transactions are a violation of campaign finance law.
4) Falsifying financial records is a violation of NY law.

Because unless you're denying one of those four points, this is all just masturbation.

[𝑴𝒂𝒕𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒘 𝑳𝒆𝒆 𝑴𝒚𝒆𝒓𝒔 @themattylee]

@GovMikeHuckabee @realDonaldTrump Just out of curiosity, which of the following are you denying?
1) Donald Trump made a passthrough transaction to pay hush money to a porn star.
2) Donald Trump falsified financial records to cover up that transaction.

@BasedMikeLee Sorry a rich person was convicted of crimes by a jury of his peers, I guess.

[𝑴𝒂𝒕𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒘 𝑳𝒆𝒆 𝑴𝒚𝒆𝒓𝒔 @themattylee]

@RightWingCope This is just one of those weird statistical quirks, and it actually checks out. The median American commits zero felonies a day, but wealthy assholes like Trump that think they'll never face any consequences really drive up the average.

[𝑴𝒂𝒕𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒘 𝑳𝒆𝒆 𝑴𝒚𝒆𝒓𝒔 @themattylee]

@MericasPlumber1 @DonBeck69 @RandPaul Hypothetically, they could have also proven that they didn't alter financial records to hide that transaction from the public and/or FEC inspectors. But they also did do that. And there was a pretty solid paper trail there as well.
And that is also a crime.

@MericasPlumber1 @DonBeck69 @RandPaul Hypothetically, they could have proved that they didn't make a pass through payment to a porn star in violation of election law. But they did do that. There was a pretty solid paper trail there.
And that is, in fact, a crime.

[𝑴𝒂𝒕𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒘 𝑳𝒆𝒆 𝑴𝒚𝒆𝒓𝒔 @themattylee]

@GovBillLee Nah. It's a criminal being found guilty of a crime by a jury of his peers. That's precisely how law and order works in New York. I believe they use the same system in Tennessee, right?

[𝑴𝒂𝒕𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒘 𝑳𝒆𝒆 𝑴𝒚𝒆𝒓𝒔 @themattylee]

@DonaldJTrumpJr What did they orchestrate exactly? They tricked your dad into making passthrough hush-money payments to a porn star? Diabolical.

[𝑴𝒂𝒕𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒘 𝑳𝒆𝒆 𝑴𝒚𝒆𝒓𝒔 @themattylee]

@SpeakerMcCarthy Well, that and committing financial crimes to cover up his hush money payments to a porn star. But other than that, sure.

[𝑴𝒂𝒕𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒘 𝑳𝒆𝒆 𝑴𝒚𝒆𝒓𝒔 @themattylee]

@TonySeruga @em_fux A bunch of screenshots of small dollar donations taken from other Twitter users does not prove any of your original claim. This is sweaty.

Nobody changed their minds over this. It didn't help Trump. It didn't hurt Trump. It just reinforced everyone's existing opinions.

[𝑴𝒂𝒕𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒘 𝑳𝒆𝒆 𝑴𝒚𝒆𝒓𝒔 @themattylee]

@ronrule I get that you're trying to present yourself as being moderately financially literate, but coupled with your stated support for Trump it just shows that you're a very unserious person without even a basic grasp of the economics at play here.

[𝑴𝒂𝒕𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒘 𝑳𝒆𝒆 𝑴𝒚𝒆𝒓𝒔 @themattylee]

@ronrule This happened because Trump kept interest rates pinned to the floor to redline the economy and when an actual financial crisis occurred there was no other option except to cause an inflationary spiral.

This was stupid, entirely Trump's responsibility, and very predictable.

[𝑴𝒂𝒕𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒘 𝑳𝒆𝒆 𝑴𝒚𝒆𝒓𝒔 @themattylee]

@TectusVulpes @MitraHispana @SaraGonzalesTX @Tw1nty I don't know what to tell you. Donald Trump should crime better? They both got caught making passthrough expenses. They both suffered consequences. No one shit their pants when Hillary had to pay the fine. Why are you shitting your pants about this?

[𝑴𝒂𝒕𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒘 𝑳𝒆𝒆 𝑴𝒚𝒆𝒓𝒔 @themattylee]

@TectusVulpes @MitraHispana @SaraGonzalesTX @Tw1nty Largely because she paid for the expense from her campaign account while he paid for the expense from his business account, meaning that hers was settled by the FEC while his fell under the jurisdiction of NY. Also, the fine was $113,000.
