Everyone knew that. Nobody knew that he had *allegedly* routed 2.4 million in undisclosed money for foreign lobbying. Lobbying for a foreign government is totally legal and fairly common. But you have to report that you are lobbying for a foreign power and receiving money from overseas. It looks like Manafort covered it up and was lobbying with foreign money as a "neutral" lobbyist.

Fangz posted:Goddamn, a cushion user. The fiend!!! Also, this election has to be basically over now that Trump has literally gone full Breitbart, right? Like I'm a little scared of what his supporters will do on election day and beyond, but barring a wormhole opening in the sky there's got to be no way Trump filtering himself even less than before in an attempt to fill his rallies and get racists to smile at him is actually going to put a dent in the hole he's dug himself into, right?

Please tell me Aetna will suffer some consequences for this bullshit. Also what the hell does it take for someone like Paul Manafort to get prosecuted? How is the FBI not arresting him over this crap? Seems if you're working with a high profile politician you can get away with anything. I'm glad Hillary is leading in the polls, but I'm worried that beating Trump with double digits in the polls will repress turnout due people thinking it's in the bag. Is that a real concern or just arzying?

That same poll found him +33 over Brian McCall, who would be the moderate challenger to Cruz in a primary. Perry hasn't said poo poo about running for Senate btw, PPP just polled a bunch of names.

On the one hand, Ted Cruz is an agent of the long-term destruction of the GOP. On the other hand, he's likely personally responsible for a lot of government dysfunction that makes life worse for a lot of people. Perry would certainly be better short term, but the collapse of the Texas GOP is the collapse of the GOP in general.

QuoProQuid posted:If Manafort is out and Bannon is in, then it means that Ivanka and Jared Kushner's attempts to professionalize Trump have failed. Donald Trump Jr. was the family member who wanted to quadruple-down on the populist rhetoric. Given that Ivanka, by all accounts, was Trump's last restraint, I will be interested in seeing how the campaign goes from here. It's hard to imagine Trump being any less unfiltered. Well... according to CNN today was the first day Trump received the Intel Briefing. Manafort was fired/shuffled hours later.

BI NOW GAY LATER posted:To be clearer though, this is about Trump wanting to be Trump. He thinks that the problem isn't that he's a racist rear end in a top hat spewing hate and demifascism; but instead because he was being "boxed in," "managed," "not himself." And that's what kind of worries me about all this. If he knows he has no chance of winning, I almost kind of believe he really will just try to burn the system down. Jackard posted:Have any links handy for maps speculating future coastlines? Unfortunately no. I've seen stuff here and there, but I don't have anything bookmarked or at immediate recall. Most of our climate stuff comes out of paleontological and sedimentological studies and is really just supporting data for more focused studies by climate scientists. I've got tons of seismic surveys though.

MS tends to be one of the "softer" deep red states so that's actually a wider lead than I'd've expected, given his performance in TX and GA.
