Itās literally whatever piece of animated flesh the Democrats run against Trump for me.
This dude is so thirsty the Pacific Ocean is looking over its shoulder.
I am feeling this way at this point, but I feel Trump has no intentions of EVERĀ leaving if he can help it. They already don't care about the law or the Constitution or anything an administration should, and he envies dictators too much to not try to be a full-fledged one, so I'm not very optimistic.
Itās not that kind of dynamic between them. He does whatever he wants and fires and cusses out anyone who even disagrees with him, mildly, carefully even. He requires full throttled, āThatās a great idea!ā and āAmazing, Sir!ā exclusively and constantly. Nothing less. Ever.
Gawker could do some reprehensible shit from time to time, and lord knows they were known for some sophomoric takes, but at the very least they had a sense of humor about it. Sometimes they were serious, sometimes they were trolling, but in spite of their flaws they were charming.
Katherine Kreugerās whole beat is scolding readers for appreciating anything a centrist/non-socialist does while ignoring anything that makes Ocasio-Cortez look flawed.
These kids want to do the āIām above it allā thing, and make a point of disagreeing with this-or-that press event and its significance. Problem is, it makes you look INCREDIBLY stupid to pretend to be āaboveā your president becoming an unindicted coconspirator, or to be āaboveā an historical event during which aā¦
The current crisis has definitely made some strange bedfellows, for many of us who are accustomed to viewing certain figures with fear-and-loathing when we were 20ā but now find ourselves agreeing with them and cheering for their efforts.
Honestly, the āonly people of unimpeachable moral character are allowed to have any function in public spheresā thing reminds me a lot of how I used to think when I was, oh, twenty or so.
Itās really easy to look at the world as containing only ārightā and āwrongā when youāve never had to weigh ethically difficultā¦
Short answer: Yes, because itās necessary to look past his past in this moment.
Longer answer: Yes, because allowing perfect to be the enemy of good is what got us Trump in the first place, and continuing to bang on about, āSo-and-so did bad stuff before,ā when they are ranged against someone who is actively committingā¦
Meh. Yes, the guys a weasel, to be sure, but heās only doing his job here. Are you implying that Cohen shouldnāt have access to dedicated, capable counsel?

Yeah, I tend to agree. And I could be wrong about this, but I believe that the downside of taking a pardon is, Manafort could no longer decline to testify in future cases, and if he withheld information or failed to be fully truthful, even in, say 2021, heād be committing another crime because he canāt invoke the 5thā¦
Fair. ButĀ State charges canāt be pardoned by the President. Manafort wonāt squirm away so easily. He almost certainly state taxes, and violated state business laws, too.
At this point, even if Trumpās health fails, the GOP will just Weekend at Bernieās him until they get another Ruth Bader Ginsberg retires.
If Iām Trump, I pardon Manafort. Heās going to want to send a message ASAP that he will protect the people caught up in the dragnet. People keep saying that that would be a final straw event, but I doubt it. Republicans are totally on board with Trump in this. And unless the Democrats can swing both the majority inā¦
The pardon would only prevent him for pleading the fifth on any federal charges that heās been pardoned for. He can still plead the fifth on the state charges.
Maybe but he hasnāt been charged in a state court. These are all federal charges that Trump can pardon. Unless you have information I donāt, I am not aware of any state charges being filed against Manafort or even any talk of them.Ā
If there were Trumpers on the jury, they would have voted āNot Guiltyā on all eighteen counts.
