Sometimes I think about the fact that the entire Trump family is essentially banned from running a charity because they basically fraudulently stole money and used it for themselves.

The admin making this decision to make sure they pass all accountability to the states is a clear abdication of duty and will serve to actually harm the citizens of this country.

If Trump did and said nothing awful the rest of his term this alone should cause him to be removed from office. It’s literally going to kill more citizens and it’s a choice.

Completely baffling but understandable given he is complete and thoroughly unprepared for the job he’s in.

I’m not going to engage on this too much but to say it’s insane. DOJ is essentially arguing they can’t prove Flynn lied AFTER he plead guilty. Twice. And I could be wrong but the filing actually doesn’t say they didn’t provide Flynn’s defense with exculpatory evidence and I know for sure it is patently false that any normal person would be not prosecuted after pleading guilty and then confirming that a second time.

In any case, Biden will pull an Obama I’m sure and have some bullshit about looking forward but if they don’t tear apart every inch of the Trump admin and prosecute every bit of misconduct Dems deserve to be a permanent majority minority party.

And fwiw, I welcome a kinder and gentler DOJ if it’s that way across the board. Criminal justice reform is good.

But you’re a fucking idiot if you think Barr and Trump want that for any but Trumps friends.

There was no exculpatory evidence....

Quote :
"Exculpatory evidence is evidence favorable to the defendant in a criminal trial that exonerates or tends to exonerate the defendant of guilt. It is the opposite of inculpatory evidence, which tends to present guilt."

Yikes you are really comparing a guy getting off for a lie that was harvested by the FBI outside of protocol to lying to create a war that costed millions of lives and trillions of dollars? or crashing the global economy for greed? Gross.

Whats the point of beating Trump if the result you want is a federal government that is bogged down litigating victimless crimes just to prove a point. I get doing that while Trump is in power but doing it AFTER he's out is pointless. You wouldn't need the political points anymore.

No comparison was made.

And as Earl very well can see from my post he didn’t quote I am all about real criminal justice reform if that’s what it is. But this is rank corruption and he knows it. But he really doesn’t mind the Trump admin so he doesn’t mind.

About what?

Real criminal justice reform is well past due. I don’t know where I fall on this but some people think it shouldn’t be a crime to lie to law enforcement. The FBI, for decades, has needed to be overhauled. This isn’t the conversation though.

Under current law he should be convicted. You can’t just excuse him because he’s your buddy when the next 999 people who do the same will absolutely be charged and convicted just like the 999 before him. This is rank corruption.

I’d gladly issue a mea culpa if you can point me to changes that the Trump admin is proposing that are more than “my buddy is good and my political adversaries are bad.”

I’m ride or die on Trump-Russia connections as much as anybody on this board.
That being said, I acknowledge the possibility the FBI didn’t follow some protocols, it certainly wouldn’t be the first time.

But to comment on the FBI’s conduct in this case at this exact moment, you’d have to basically buy Barr/Giuliani/John Solomon’s narrative fully. There’s gonna have to be absolutely screaming evidence before I believe a word that crew says. The competing narrative (that I’ve seen) right now is that the FBI’s moves were within protocol (except some FISA stuff unrelated to Flynn?) and are being misrepresented. On Flynn’s particular case no nuance has developed between these. I’m interested to see where the judge comes down as what other info gets dropped in this story.

So Stephen Miller's wife (and Pence's Press Secretary) tested positive for the 'Rona.

And here's Trump's response

Quote :
"She is a wonderful young woman, Katie. She tested very good for a long period of time. And then all of a sudden today she tested positive. So, she tested positive out of the blue. This is why the whole concept of tests aren't necessarily, right, the tests are perfect but something can happen between a test where it's good and then something happens and then all of a sudden, she was tested very recently and tested negative."


Makes sense.

We are the most ignorant developed country on earth. A blight on humanity.

No other place has a major segment of the population irate about being asked to wear fucking masks or stay 6 feet from each other. Just a complete awful, shitty mess we are.

I actually understand why they aren't wearing masks. For starters, you don't want your leader projecting weakness of any sort on the world stage. I realize that he by nature projects weakness but I think you know what i'm saying. Second, he's the most well cared for human on the planet from a medical standpoint. So, even if he contracted COVID I guarantee you'd not see a blip in his health.

I'm not defending him - I hate him. But I think no matter who was president you'd see the same behavior, specifically with respect to the mask thing.

We're certainly arguing hypotheticals. Yay TSB!

Trump said during a press conference that CDC guidance was optional and stated that he personally had no intention of following the recommendations. I can't imagine any other President doing that.

Let’s ignore the fact that we are heading dangerously quick towards show trials as a desperate diversion from 100,000 deaths and a decimated economy (that are not completely not his fault, but definitely partly his) but, again, I ask... huh???

Both candidates were under investigation.

One was cleared before the election. The one that was cleared was dragged through three mud by an unprecedented moral and ethical dressing down by the FBI Director in front of congress. On top of that a month before the election that same candidate had her investigation temporarily re-opened by the same FBI Director over the same emails with no new ones found because the FBI was worried crooked agents would leak meaningless copies of emails to the media.

No one even knew the other candidate was under investigation until well after the election and the FBI even falsely leaked he was NOT under investigation to the New York Times.

I’ve felt like I’ve taken crazy pills every time I see this same talking point. It’s a complete revision of history. Complete and total. Obama should have fucking personally told the country both were under investigation in 2016.

i think NyM is referring to one of his other posts where, regardless of who president is, americans are by-and-large stupid assholes.

One mans asshole is another mans individualist. But, yes you got it generally.

It’s not at all excusing Trump whose inaction and pissing away months of well behaving Americans behavior led to far greater suffering than was necessary. But America is culturally vastly different to country’s that handled this far better from a federal level and a certain degree of this was baked in no matter who the leader was.

Of course, look at his unhinged twitter feed today and know he doesn’t give one single fuck about Americans or COVID.

Not saying you're excusing and sure there are always mixed factors, but the fact that he is president of a loyalist party and has mixed complete inaction with wild information are enough to just say its his fault without feeling the need to pull punches. He also drives the "culture" for a big chunk of the country.

It's his fault.

Its a massive understatement. Name another public health metric where we have come out ahead of the UK, Belgium, Netherlands, Sweden, France, Spain, and Italy. Only American exceptionalists expected us to be on a top level in anything related to human well-being. We haven't even figured out how to get clean water to all children yet.

The surest sign the GOP thinks they are toast in 2020 (presidency and maybe even Senate) is this. It’s only a few, but if this drumbeat gets louder it is going to be an easy tell.

They would take GLEE in fucking over the country at 20% unemployment with a D president pushing austerity. Also, Rick Scott is the Medicare fraud guy, right?

Do they really think there is going to be some massive swing in Obama’s popularity because Trump is retweeting QAnon accounts and Barr is using DOJ as a flat out propoganda system? If anything it’ll likely make him more popular.

It’s just downright malfeasance from the campaign if that is their plan.

It honestly seems that POTUS has essentially given up on COVID-19. Nary a mention of it.

The MSM really needs to cover the presidents mindset. Twitter isn’t real life but people deserve to know just what he is spending his time on and not get the sanitized, normalized usual.
