I can only speak for me, but yes. I was taught from an early age to lawyer the gently caress up asap and don't say poo poo.

When it comes to any lawsuit I would direct any and all inquiries made to me to my lawyer. And Let my Lawyer say whatever needs to be said.

And if you aren't aware, this is what literally every person should do. It doesn't matter if you're white, black, rich, poor, innocent or guilty. If the cops ever say "We'd like to ask you some questions" the only answer you give is "I want a lawyer".

What is covfefe

It's alive, afraid, a lie, a sin
it's magic it's tragic it's a loss it's a win
it's dark, it's moist, it's a bitter pain
it's sad it happened and it's a shame.

Ok, good point. If it were up to me, I'd still suggest that an attorney for the campaign should be speaking for the campaign, and everyone else should get their own independent attorneys.

The only goal Trump should have in this investigation is to not get impeached.

He shouldn't give a drat about any members of the campaign, or anyone else. He should have someone talking for him that only cares about saving and protecting him.

This is totally the right play for Trump even if he is 100% innocent of every single thing.

That lawyer is Trump's personal lawyer. Everyone else has to get their own. The campaign as a legal entity no longer exists, I think, so it doesn't need its own (and if it does, the charges being investigated would be criminal charges for individuals not charges for the campaign as a legal entity). Spicer is saying that any public statements from the Administration will be made through Trump's lawyer, which makes sense as the Administration essentially speaks for Donald Trump.

he can't say it was wrong to invite nugent, because he's not even allowed to admit that trump made a typo in a tweet

he can't say there's a difference between the two and nugent is ok but griffin is not, because he will be endlessly mocked for weeks about it and redirect the griffin story into the nugent story

so he just avoids answering the question and won't ever answer it

Barack and Michelle Obama didn't whine about Nugent and use their children as political shields, so it was ok for him to say he wants to kill the president.

I'm reminded of the time Trump mocked that disabled journalist. Whenever it comes up in conversation, Trump's cultists claim that no, Trump just always waves his arms when he mocks someone. To which the answer is yes, but he mocked a disabled guy by acting like a disabled guy, which is a dick move. If he really didn't mean to send that message, then he could do what any mature human being would do, which is to honestly apologize and move on. Trump is incapable of either of these things, so he will never deserve any slack on the subject.

Covfefe is similar, though on a lower scale. Easy to say ' I typo'd, oh well', but that would be Admitting A Mistake, which he can never do. Therefore, it's worth poking him with the covfefe stick every so often just to remind him of his public dumbness.

Guys, I'm afraid Trump has finally figured out a way to keep the media permanently distracted. "Covfeve" was just a test run, and judging by the way it dominated the headlines for a whole day, it was a massive success. Now all Trump has to do is utter some random nonsense made-up word on his Twitter every night, and he's set for the rest of his term!

I read this Vox.com article that speculates that Trump's bullshitting is a loyalty test, to see who is loyal enough to him that they'd parrot and defend any dumb thing he says. It made me think that there is a strong chance the Republicans and conservative movement will survive Trump even if the worst comes to worst, because they've at least proven they're loyal to the cause. That's the one good that they will get out of this whole thing. They will have egg on their faces but they will have also demonstrated that they are very loyal to each other. That mutual trust will see them through this fiasco. Conversely, anyone who turns on Trump too early will lose their credibility as a stalwart Republican, and that will hurt them even if they are vindicated in Trump's impeachment.

I don't know. I'm still not convinced that Trump's that smart. He strikes me more as a moron (possibly with early onset Alzheimer's) who, by the sheer force of his outsized personality, has managed to fail upwards. But all the "covfefe" in the world can't distract from the fact that the GOP is pushing through a bill that polls say is supported by 8% of the population*.

Part of me kind of wants to see Trump descend into full senility and poo poo himself in public, just to see how they spin it.

"You all saw it," an incredulous Sean Spicer said at the daily White House press conference, "But you're only presenting it in a negative light. Did the President defecate himself? Yes, but it was only done to establish dominance over the Italian president through a combination of sensory overload and confusion. He knew what he was doing."
