Trump will have the dubious honor of being corrupt in service to a hostile foreign power which puts him in a league of his own w/r/t lovely presidents, IMO.

What are the chances that Trump is under an investigation, but Comey would have maintained otherwise?

Also I started to re-watch The Thick of It. It is really cathartic right now and we are blessed that there is no Malcom Tucker running around to do damage control on the WH's endless fuckups. Even if you've seen it before, I recommend it. it has matured very well in light of our daily circus of political insanity.

I don't know much about pre-WWII US presidents but they probably didn't make a habit of bragging about how they sexually assault women nor about how sexually attracted they are to their own daughter in public.

Jan. 2, 1913
I stopped play to have sandwiches and crack a bottle of wine, so I could dwell with my thoughts. You can guess where they centered — on the New Year’s beginning a year before, when the bell rang the chorus while our hearts sang the rapture without words and we greeted the New Year from the hallowed heights of heaven. . . . When I got home I was too tired to sleep, but I rested, and you were summoned in finally. And you came — a vision vividly plain, a goddess in human form — and a perfect form — clad only in flowing hair, and you were joyously received, and Jerry* came and insisted on staying while we all retrospected in the happiness of a Sunday in Richmond.

Jan. 5, 1913
Didn’t go to church today — it cost too much last Sunday — so I got up, had a luxurious bath and donned my bathrobe in which to breakfast. Three weeks ago [the robe] touched and covered your beautiful form, and that made it hallowed to me, and I wanted contact with it, to make me seem nearer to you. And I wanted to sit before the fire afterward, in freedom of dress, and dream** of you and of loving you, intimately, until [illegible]. I like to dream** in loose, flowing garb, because I can dream more intently. And I did — to alarming release. I called your name aloud thrice, begging you to come, and a voice from upstairs responded, wanting to know what I wanted. I was alarmed and sobered.

Sept. 15, 1913
Honestly, I hurt with the insatiate longing, until I feel that there will never be any relief untilI take a long, deep, wild draught on your lips and then bury my face on your pillowing breasts. Oh, Carrie! I want the solace you only can give. It is awful to hunger so and be so wholly denied. . . . Wouldn’t you like to hear me ask if we only dared and answer, “We dare,” while souls rejoicing sang the sweetest of choruses in the music room? Wouldn’t you like to get sopping wet out on Superior — not the lake — for the joy of fevered fondling and melting kisses? Wouldn’t you like to make the suspected occupant of the next room jealous of the joys he could not know, as we did in morning communion at Richmond? . . .

Oh, Carrie mine! You can see I have yielded and written myself into wild desire. I could beg. And Jerry* came and will not go, says he loves you, that you are the only, only love worthwhile in all this world, and I must tell you so and a score or more of other fond things he suggests, but I spare you. You must not be annoyed. He is so utterly devoted that he only exists to give you all. I fear you would find a fierce enthusiast today.

aaaaaaaaaaaaa I don't really want to be backed into the lovely rhetorical corner of defending a potential rapist, so I won't. It's possible he raped her, sure, the allegation was made and should be taken seriously. But the fact is that nothing compelling was ever produced as evidence, and the leap from allegation to "well Clinton is a rapist so checkmate libtards " is just so vast.

I mean, I feel like there is a broader point to be made about the continued exploitation of prisoners than just screaming "Hillary owned slaves." Like, maybe we should consider that these practices (and far, far worse) are still going on? And that the current administration is increasing this poo poo?

Or we can just poo poo on Hillary for not ending the program as first lady of Arkansas

On the morning of March 30, the President called me at the FBI. He described the Russia investigation as "a cloud" that was impairing his ability to act on behalf of the country. He said he had nothing to do with Russia, had not been involved with hookers in Russia, and had always assumed he was being recorded when in Russia.

Person on Something Awful says piss tape isn't real and there is no evidence of it
Other people respond that it is clearly a joke
Yet more people "UH ACTUALLY" and point out that it is actually real and exists

It can be both. We can find humor in the possibility, and speculate as to plausibility.
If it ever is proved it will be even funnier.

The site’s visitor traffic has fallen 53 percent since November, from 22.96 million unique individuals to 10.76 million last month, according to ComScore, which tracks Web trends. Other news sites have seen a falloff since the election, too — The Washington Post and the New York Times are off 24 and 26 percent during this period, respectively — but Breitbart’s losses are at roughly twice the mainstream rate.

At the same time, an advertiser blacklist of Breitbart organized by an anonymous online group called Sleeping Giants appears to be biting hard. Only 26 companies had ads on Breitbart last month, down from 242 in March, according to the marketing-news site Digiday. It said the remaining advertisers were primarily smaller direct-response companies, although Amazon.com remains one of its sponsors, despite pressure from its employees to cut ties to the site (Amazon’s chief executive is Jeffrey P. Bezos, who owns The Post).
