I have to wonder if Trump/The Trump Org reimbursed the Nat'l enquirer for these payments...I guess we'll find out.

Quid pro quo like when Kim Kardashian shares photos of her kid’s first birthday in exchange for not posting the one of her sucking face with Jim McMahon

Nationwide protests planned if Trump fires Mueller or Rosenstein
(Reuters) - U.S. progressive groups are gearing up for nationwide protests if President Donald Trump fires the special counsel investigating Russian meddling in the 2016 U.S. election, or replaces the Justice Department official overseeing the probe.
An ouster of Special Counsel Robert Mueller would signal that Trump was acting as if he was above the law, said MoveOn.org, which is planning 800 demonstrations across the country.
Every state will have at least one “Nobody Is Above The Law” rally and at least 320,000 people have pledged to attend so far, according to MoveOn’s website.
Trump would also trigger protests if he fired Deputy U.S. Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, who is responsible for overseeing the Russia probe, or if he pardoned associates targeted in the investigation, such as former Trump campaign director Paul Manafort, MoveOn said.

Pruitt insisted on staying in luxury hotels that were costlier than allowed by government standards, while also pushing to fly on an airline not on the government’s approved list so he could accrue frequent flier miles, according to a top former deputy.
“Pruitt would often seek to schedule trips back to Oklahoma, where he still owns a home, so he could stay there for weekends. ‘Find me something to do,’ were the instructions Mr. Pruitt gave his staff, after telling them he wanted to travel to particular destinations.”

I am going to Costco this afternoon to renew my membership. It does not get much better than that.

In fairness we were told by the R's who disagree with math, science and reality that it was going to be good for middle class but most economists, the CBO, anyone who reviewed the actual facts and not spin knew this. At the time it was signed the vast majority of americans didn't believe it was a middle class tax cut.

Thank you. I am very well versed on this unlike many of you in the Political forum. Yes, the tax cuts helped corporations, we have seen many give out bonuses to workers (mine did) or hire new employees. These new jobs and wage increases are great for the economy. Add in the reduction in taxes for personal tax returns and it is a win/win. There are two groups of people who don't benefit as much from the recent tax cuts, those that don't pay any taxes to begin with and the top 1/10th of 1 percent. You see, contrary to what the media wants you to believe, the top 1/10th of 1% paid 18% of all taxes last year, this year it will go up to 22%.
I suppose they do benefit from the estate tax being repealed and I am positive the increasing stock market is helping them.

The estate tax wasn't repealed. The exemption was temporarily increased from $5.49 million to $11.2 million.
Based on your lack of knowledge on that subject, I can only assume that you're also full of crap on the rest of your "facts".

Yes. Was Cohen in Trump's stable at the time? Or was Roy Cohn handling the Ray Donovan work?

Not sure how to link but it is a video on Foxnews right now where former Reagen Economist Art Laffer is being interviewed over recent comments by Senator Cory Booker calling the bonuses due to the tax reform "crumbs" that are driving up the national debt. Click on "Government hates the people who give them money: Art Laffer."

If it's a pet peeve of yours, you should learn how they're used.
Between is generally used when you name the things or consider them individually (between Forrest Gump, Shawshank, and Pulp Fiction, as I used it.)
Among (or amongst if you want to annoy me) is for when you don't (among the Best Picture nominees.)
The belief that "between" is for two things and "among" is for more than two is incorrect.
