Well Michael if you run I would be one of your constituents as I live in the 12th district under Nadler right between you and Rudy's old apt. Good luck neighbor.
He knows his stuff, he's more than made up for things, he knows Trump's thinking having worked with him for years. He'd have my vote, too. It's not about hate, it's about righting the ship.
To me, it’s not just having a felony, it’s the circumstances and the rehabilitation. Cohen got sucked into the Trump orbit (which I don’t understand, but others have pointed out as well). He skis finally said ‘no’ and has spent a lot of time and efforts to make amends. Trump’s felonies are not only worse, he has NO regrets and has not wished to be better. That makes a big difference to me.
Mr.Cohen may be a convicted felon, but he has paid his debt to society. I am fairly certain he has not forgotten that fact. At some point, it is simply bad manners to continue to remind the repentant of their transgressions.
Yes, he is a convicted felon. But he’s paid his debt to society and now deserves a second chance.
Also, one point re being opportunistic, due to his criminal record his options are severely limited eg he cannot work as a lawyer anymore. Yet, he still has a family to feed and bills to pay. He needs to make money somehow.
Hence he’s written books, makes podcasts and so on. If you don’t like it, don’t buy his books, don’t listen to his podcasts and …. If he runs, don’t vote for him, it’s a free choice.
He accepted responsibility and did his time. Came out and decided to take a good look at what was still happening and brought it to light. IMO he is afforded a second chance.
It seemed like a PR move for him even though they acted like they weren’t expecting him to list his history of credentials and launch into his plan to run for election. If Trump had pardoned him and patted his head with approval, he’d still be screwing the American people. That said, I would hope MAGA’s who see the light would never return to their corrupted mental states, but who knows?
Are you fucking kidding? He is a teen age girl extortionist bagman who served the Naxi regime as the turn style manager at Auschwitz. He is a sub human being... You wish this mother fucker well? He turned state evidence because he got caught with his hand in the wrong cunt? What the rat shit ass is wrong with you people, You would go to a mass hanging in Hitler Germany and praise the hangmen on the cut of their suit. You would eat a bag of moose shit if MeidasTouch told you to... Jesus H Christ what was in that Kool Aid you assoles drank,??, My god ,,you are pathetic little passive follow along sheep. Cohen should have his balls boiled in Crisco
Fortunately, for the convicted, civilization has moved past boiling the guilty in oil. You mention nothing other than a conviction for your ire. Are all legal transgressions a permanent stain to never be forgotten or forgiven?
Cohen didn't "sexually abuse" anyone, since we can't use the correct term, but we need to boil his nuts in oil? give me a break. We have a convicted felon in the WH who did NO sentencing on his many crimes, not the other indictments that can't be prosecuted now, and you bitch about Cohen, who DID do actual prison time??? GMAFB
Do you feel better now? Not sure what you were hoping to accomplish by hurling insults at people who believe differently than you. But I hope whatever went so wrong in your life to make you this kind of person, is something that you can heal from, and hopefully become a compassionate, forgiving, understanding, less bitter individual.
Because Cohen finally saw through the facade that Trump is a user and abuser of people. Trump is a man with no scruples, no integrity, no ethics, no compassion, no faith, untrustworthy, and a serial liar - a hollow shell in a blue suit. Cohen was not a saint. But, he realized that his association with Trump was hurting his family and friends and not doing him any good, either. for the sake of his children's future, he became a State witness against Trump, served his time in prison, and is now free to state his opinions.
I completely support this line of thinking. Furthermore, he seems like his heart is in the right place. In addition he is actually a plain folks guy and not a slickster.
Exactly. Nadler's one of the good guys. Why in hell isn't Cohen running against a Rethug, if he wants to be seen as being on the right side of the fight? And why is Meidas supporting that?
Agree--no convicted felon should be eligible to run. Our party should stand strong on this. Ugh, if he is going to be a regular here, I'm out. I'm offended by him, even though he is anti-trump, it's just not enough.
People like you are too self righteous. I'll hang with someone who's made a big mistake and owns it anyday over someone like you who is unforgiving and uses the word ugh over and over to describe a man that's humbled himself and turned his life for good.
He can do good without running for office against another Democrat! And he can do a podcast without always pimping his books. He hasn't earned my trust yet--ten years working for Trump does that to a person.
Try reading his first book and you'll find out the reason he didn't remain loyal to Trump before you make all your judgements. One of the reasons for the book is his ability to draw an income was destroyed after he made that payment for trump and went to prison. He has a family to support. Look at all of trumps cowardly enablers. Cohen could have just been another coward and been doing fine in trumpworld. BUT HE DIDN'T TAKE THE COWARDS PATH!
Look at all the Republicans in Congress. With the exception of Trump none of them are felons. I suppose your OK with them. I can understand the principle of our elected officials not having a criminal record. It's the way you express your disdain like he's something beneath you. Your self righteous attitude is such a turn off. Ugh!!!!
I don't know what your problem could be. He could have continued supporting Trump and never would have spent a day in jail. The fact that he has completely turned his life around says it all!!
Same "opportunistic" reply on all of these threads?
He is a convicted felon because he was following the orders of the president. Why wouldn't he want people to buy his books? Like you said, (thanks to the LIAR-IN-CHIEF) he is a convicted felon. As such he doesn't have a bar license anymore, which was what he had spent his life working on. So, you'd rather him not make a living?
He has always been a democrat and he has some very good ideas about how to move the country forward.
So, you're good with some convicted felons being allowed to hold political office? Not happening. You don't get to cherrypick the law to suit your personal beliefs
I completely agree with you. I kinda tuned out as soon as he said he wanted to get into politics to do some good, he was Trump's lawyer FOR A LONG TIME. I can see him also being opportunistic with his little book in the background lol
He could still be running with trump. He decided to do prison time even though Trump wanted him to stay silent and would have pardoned him if he remained loyal. But he chose to do the right thing for his family.
So, he shouldn't make a living? He was stripped of his bar license. Which is what he has spent his life working on. Have you ever seen an author that DIDN'T display their books?
Really? I defy you to find one, ONE single author in the history of TV, or podcast who doesn't have their own books in the frame. Just one Ed, I'll wait....
The great apostle Paul was once known as Saul. Saul persecuted the Jews before the transformation of his life to help humanity.
Forgiveness does not exist in the minds of Fuehers Musk/Trump.
Michael Cohen's life is now on the line......he must have Maggots calling in death threats hourly..........he has not gone into hiding and remains in the front lines of the fight.
I think it would be better to have someone run against Nadler, who is not just opposed to Trump. What are the rest of his ideas? I know it seems like Trump/Musk is all everything right now but once we get rid of him, what will we have left with in our representative
UK here - they better not f#cking start with that religious crud here. The LARGE MAJORITY of UK citizens are not religious. That stuff won’t work over here!
You have my vote Michael. Good luck to you and your family. We appreciate what you're doing for this country.
He's a convicted felon. Why does he have your vote? Hating on Trump isn't enough. He's not going to suck me in. Jesus, people. He seems opportunistic.
Trump is a convicted felon x 34 counts.... a rapist 💯
Well Michael if you run I would be one of your constituents as I live in the 12th district under Nadler right between you and Rudy's old apt. Good luck neighbor.
Great welcome 💎
Worthless Trump coins only accepted for BrainDead fog
Michael has paid for what he did. Can you say the same about tRump?
He knows his stuff, he's more than made up for things, he knows Trump's thinking having worked with him for years. He'd have my vote, too. It's not about hate, it's about righting the ship.
Yes, it’s not about hate but let’s give it time and see what he says and does that would make anyone want to vote for him
To me, it’s not just having a felony, it’s the circumstances and the rehabilitation. Cohen got sucked into the Trump orbit (which I don’t understand, but others have pointed out as well). He skis finally said ‘no’ and has spent a lot of time and efforts to make amends. Trump’s felonies are not only worse, he has NO regrets and has not wished to be better. That makes a big difference to me.
Trump is a convicted felon and became President … why not Cohen? At least he went to prison, Trump didn’t .
Completely agree!
Mr.Cohen may be a convicted felon, but he has paid his debt to society. I am fairly certain he has not forgotten that fact. At some point, it is simply bad manners to continue to remind the repentant of their transgressions.
Yes, he is a convicted felon. But he’s paid his debt to society and now deserves a second chance.

Hence he’s written books, makes podcasts and so on. If you don’t like it, don’t buy his books, don’t listen to his podcasts and …. If he runs, don’t vote for him, it’s a free choice.
True. The choice is pretty clear though. He got more time, for less,than any J 6er. And the majority in trumps orbit right now, are way worse
The difference between a warm heart, and a cold heart. Remember Gandhi? People can change, they get one chance.
Now he wants a $174,000 dollar a year job paid for by Democrats.
Ummmm nope.
He accepted responsibility and did his time. Came out and decided to take a good look at what was still happening and brought it to light. IMO he is afforded a second chance.
It seemed like a PR move for him even though they acted like they weren’t expecting him to list his history of credentials and launch into his plan to run for election.

Totally ineffective opportunistic windbag
Life is short.
Shorter just watching others.
If only the world was full of nice people, thinking outside themselves and about others.
If he had not been convicted and had to admit what he had done he would probably have an office in the WH right now…
Are you fucking kidding? He is a teen age girl extortionist bagman who served the Naxi regime as the turn style manager at Auschwitz. He is a sub human being... You wish this mother fucker well? He turned state evidence because he got caught with his hand in the wrong cunt? What the rat shit ass is wrong with you people, You would go to a mass hanging in Hitler Germany and praise the hangmen on the cut of their suit.

What the shit ball fuck are you talking about ?
LOL Peter, reading comprehension is tough huh? Makes perfect sense, read in small bites maybe.
Cohen didn't "sexually abuse" anyone, since we can't use the correct term, but we need to boil his nuts in oil? give me a break. We have a convicted felon in the WH who did NO sentencing on his many crimes, not the other indictments that can't be prosecuted now, and you bitch about Cohen, who DID do actual prison time??? GMAFB
now the others... auto correct caught me, didn't notice
This is sheer idiocy You people are like stupid literal children. Cohen did prison time. You are actually defending this cretin piece of shit?
Do you feel better now? Not sure what you were hoping to accomplish by hurling insults at people who believe differently than you. But I hope whatever went so wrong in your life to make you this kind of person, is something that you can heal from, and hopefully become a compassionate, forgiving, understanding, less bitter individual.
So good at projection! You just described exactly the way you and trump should be treated . Also, exactly how cultists act for Daddy. Weirdos
Hey guys thank you for everything you do 🇺🇸💙🇺🇸💙

Why?
Because Cohen finally saw through the facade that Trump is a user and abuser of people.

And *not* a billionaire.
Why not? To each their own, he can run and we will see!!
Quit judging ..learn something or GO AWAY..!!!
No, it’s not about going away. It’s about asking the right questions this time.
Why not?
Don't you have somewhere to be, like a trump rally or something? You sure are pressed about someone who could actually help.
Go, Cohen, go!!!! I'm in NM so can't vote for you, but woooooohooooooo!!!!!!!!
Love Meidas.. thank you for informing
Congrats Meidas !!! 💙💙💙💙
Go Michael go. 😊
Awesome, I'm glad to be a Meidas Whovian Advocate.
Better he should run against Mike Lawler -- that would give the Dems a fighting chance to pick up a seat
Why is he running against a Democrat? Shouldn't he try to run against the Republican if we are going to celebrate him?
Exactly. Nadler's one of the good guys. Why in hell isn't Cohen running against a Rethug, if he wants to be seen as being on the right side of the fight? And why is Meidas supporting that?
He is? Not too sure about hanging that "good guy" sign on Nadler.
I am, as it happens, very sure that Cohen is doing the Democratic party exactly zero favours by running against a seated Democrat.
I'm sorry, but I don't think convicted felon should be eligible to run for office, whether it's for president or a member of Congress.
Agree--no convicted felon should be eligible to run. Our party should stand strong on this. Ugh, if he is going to be a regular here, I'm out. I'm offended by him, even though he is anti-trump, it's just not enough.
People like you are too self righteous. I'll hang with someone who's made a big mistake and owns it anyday over someone like you who is unforgiving and uses the word ugh over and over to describe a man that's humbled himself and turned his life for good.

👏👏👏👏Well said. 💙
There must be a hundred straight people who can run without us having to defer to felons
"straight people"?
Straight used to mean upright, honest.
Michael was illegally sent to prison by Convict trump.
Ahhhh, but here we are with a convicted felon "running" this country... Amazing, right?
You think. Every criminal has a seat in the big house. Not the one will bars.
Still have a problem with Michael Cohen and his past
I don't know what your problem could be. He could have continued supporting Trump and never would have spent a day in jail. The fact that he has completely turned his life around says it all!!
He spent nearly a decade with Trump. He's now a convicted felon. He wants you to buy his books. He seems opportunistic to me.
Same "opportunistic" reply on all of these threads?
He is a convicted felon because he was following the orders of the president. Why wouldn't he want people to buy his books? Like you said, (thanks to the LIAR-IN-CHIEF) he is a convicted felon.

Ed can't find any😔

Would be nice if lawmakers actually understood law, Cohen is a lawyer.
And Michael is a fighter. Intelligent, fair, knowledgeable about many issues beyond tump and he is relentless.
I’m sorry but I don’t think now is the time to be a convicted felon running for office.
It's the unconvicted felons in office that concerns me far more.
UK here - they better not f#cking start with that religious crud here. The LARGE MAJORITY of UK citizens are not religious. That stuff won’t work over here!
Sounds good to me, we need the UK to hold strong.
Absolutely not. I’d be open. To someone running (though I like Nadler) but not Cohen. Sorry no. We have enough retribution yours as it is.
The baggage he has would sink him.
