Sigh. Your edit is sadly too true. Purity test assholes will lead us to fucking Emperor Trump (or worse - a smart autocrat).

I’m still waiting find out what this woman’s connection to Russia is.

One would hope his firm’s involvement as advisors to Rosneft, the Russian state oil company, would be enough to raise at least a few GOP red flags.

Yeah, well, it looks like the Russians started this, and with ol’ Donnie, you know which of the two competing interests - America’s or Russia’s - he values more.

Turns out, Russia!

Now, now, the Qatari don’t have beautiful Trump properties. This should teach them the true lesson here: Donnie don’t give a shit what you do as long as he and his get paid - in cash or adulation, but preferably cash.

Well, serves the Qatari right for not using his hotel for their celebrations and moving their airline’s offices out of Trump Tower. I mean, the Saudis paid him, so of course he took their side.

But they aren’t wrong. Take your exact statement, change the target audience, and viola! A pro-Trump statement:

Of course not, but that contrarian eagerness can easily be channeled (or manipulated) in evil ways the non-evil person never intended.

Well, they burned an anti-Russia leaker and provided a GOP talking point to dominate the questioning at hearings this week, so maybe it was intentional?

That was my partner’s take as well: He’s already publicly discussed the conversations, and used them to provide his version of events. Comey should have an opportunity to give his version as well.

My partner says that once Trump publicly gave his version of their exchange, he waived the right to claim privilege. He’s the law-talkin’-dude, so I assume he’s probably right.

So, let me get this straight: A guy who can’t even admit he made a typo is accusing someone else of not being able to accept blame? Hmm....

Great post. Creating innovative, market dominating tech is hard, costly, and has a (very, very) high failure rate. That’s why bigger, traditional media companies acquire smaller, innovative companies that have IP that fills their need instead of doing it themselves (e.g., Microsoft bought Skype when it wanted an…
