". . . Cohen's allegations are "interesting but not legally significant," said a source familiar with the matter. Even if Trump did order the payments, it's not a campaign finance violation, the source said, adding that Cohen isn't credible because his story keeps changing. . .Trump's story about the payments also has changed, as he initially told reporters he knew nothing about them. Trump later tweeted that he reimbursed Cohen for money paid to adult film actress Stormy Daniels. . ."
". . . It’s actually the modern Republican Party that’s the spiritual successor of the pre-1964 Democratic Party. Please understand, though: This article isn’t a partisan smearfest. The story behind all this doesn’t make any region of the county look good, nevermind political organizations. . . It’s kind of a convoluted story, so let’s untangle all this piece by piece. . . Lahren skewered the Democratic Party for hypocrisy after donor Benjamin Barber was recorded calling black Republicans “f—ked in the head” for “helping the enemy who want to destroy them.” She points out that the ostensibly liberal organization has a troubling institutional history of racism. . . As she put it: Well, it was southern Democrats that fought for slavery. Oh, and the KKK, it was originally an arm of the southern Democratic Party. The mission: to terrorize freed slaves, and those who sympathize with them which would be “the Radical Republicans.” . . . Dems largely opposed the 13th Amendment, she said. That bigotry continued through the decades, even to the vote for the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (“supported by a higher proportion of Republicans than Democrats”) and racist President Lyndon Johnson. She said that the current Democratic depictions of the Republicans as bigoted are really just self-serving hypocrisy. . ."

". . . President Donald Trump mocked the Democrats pushing the ongoing probe of his campaign's ties to Russia by posting a photo of Vladimir Putin having a doughnut and a coffee with New York Senator Chuck Schumer. . . Calling the Democrat "a total hypocrite," Trump tweeted there should be "an immediate investigation" into Schumer and "his ties to Russia and Putin."

"Being Liberal Means Being A Hypocrite"

While both statements are hilariously funny, particularly to those leaning opposite the position of which the fun is being made, both statements have much in common, one of which is being an over-simplified, inaccurate generalization of a very large, diverse group.
But the most glaring and relevant quality these statements share is:
He just ain’t no youngster anymore. There are certain things in his life that were begun years ago in his youth which he must follow through to completion. In the following-through process, he must interact with a number of persons. Many of these persons are good, upstanding, honest, forthright, scrupulous, hard-working, salt-of-the-earth individuals.
But then, there are the others. "Believe me," he said, "I am not being petty, catty or gossipy." He had lived long enough and experienced a sufficient amount of humanity to recognize, and not necessarily at first sight- but after years of interacting with such individuals, personalities whose dedication to the preservation of self is so great that it consumes and underlies all their actions (and interactions) during the course of each day every day up to and surpassing good, correct and honest human behavior. And consequently, in consciously acting in the above described manner, one must apply another ‘veneer’ to ensure (they think) that the general perception of their actions is that of good, correct and honest human behavior.
He called this hypocrisy because the inherent behavior of such individuals is of such a contrary extreme from that which they attempt to display (or ‘betray’), that he could summon no better descriptor of the phenomena. But then, to them the combination of the dishonesty of their underlying actions and the dishonesty of their public personalities is probably united in their minds as normal behavior; or ‘just the way they are’.
So in reaction to the conduct of such individuals and in his pursuit of his ultimate goal, that being a ‘retirement’ of sorts from the daily routine of earning a living to the pursuit of his passion, he must undertake a similar ‘dance’. As a result of his recognition of such undesirable and undermining conduct, he finds himself absolutely loathing such personalities. Make clear that he must encounter them and interact with them on a daily basis, but he finds the experience to be an unappealing drudgery. And then, in addition to this disgusting combination of circumstances, he must ‘be nice’ in order to remain active in this professional situation and follow through on his long-terms plans.
Is he just as hypocritical?
