Another question, re this Guardian article: [Trump announces record campaign haul amid impeachment inquiry](https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2019/oct/02/trump-2020-fundraising-money-amid-impeachment-inquiry). Trampsters (not all rich) send their money to a self-proclaimed multi-billionaire who brags of cheating on taxes. Umm… why? ---

At what point did you decide that there is no difference between right and wrong? Absolutely. If Mark Sanford or Corey Booker or Amy Klobuchar wants to spend money on hookers and blow, I don’t care. If such a person becomes one of the two major-party candidates, I’ll weigh that along with fifty other considerations, compare this sum total to the other major party’s candidate, and cast my vote accordingly. What does ANY of this have to do with the current president of this US? Bupkis. Nada. Zilch. ---

> [@Moriarty](#): > > Could you kindly re-reveal it for those following along at home? Thanks. What’s there to reveal? DNC and Clinton campaign funneled millions of dollars to Russian operatives to collect dirt on Clinton’s political enemy. The return on their investment was so pathetic, that only Goebbels-like outlets like Buzzfeed and CNN decided to publish it, while even the hard-code leftist rag like NY Times refused to publish it. ---

At what point did you decide that there is no difference between right and wrong? Why would fake information cost so much? Seems like one could get the real thing for a lot less. But what point are you trying to make? It’s seems like you are saying that actual President Trump gets an automatic free pass on wrongdoing if it can ever be proven Candidate Clinton did something prosecutable (which seems not to have happened quite yet). Is that correct?
