I said "close to automatic" because I could actually see Trump ordering all his employees to sign attorney conflict waivers. Which would still likely be a violation of something but would at least complicate the argument.

Fair, fair. Happy to talk more over PMs about the boundaries of "informed" consent regarding advance conflict waivers outside of sophisticated business clients, since I doubt that many courts would look kindly upon such a thing, getting a bit dry for here.

Bigger point is Kasowitz deserves to be nailed to the drat wall for this.

Yup. And that's how we bring down Trump: we chip away at his supporters. Even if he's invulnerable, they aren't.

Everyday of this administration has been a gift. Depending on the hour I feel depressed or exuberant.

It was kind of exasperatingly funny for a little bit.. but for a while now it's just been depressing (to me, personally) since the the republic we're a part of has become a mockery of itself, and while that in a vacuum can be funny, on the other side you also have increasingly alarming things happening across the country and the world. Whereas before people said, for example, that Obama's foreign policy was, "hands off," now it appears we're making fart noises with them. In other words, a stabilizing force in the world and world economy has now become sporadic and random, putting more pressure on everyone else to keep this incredibly complex world economy functioning.

Say what you want about the US being a, "stabilizing force," but with our influence nose-diving it appears like we're only holding onto to our international obligations by the length of our fingernails and no more. I feel this constant dread about what is going to happen next, because despite all the things swirling around Trump I see the chances he's impeached to be low and the chances that, if impeached, that it will mean something to be even less so. Mike Pence would probably help with the first problem, but then the domestic policy damage potential increases as he shuts his mouth and lets the legislature steamroll 'till 2020.

You know, that plus the ever-present insanity of Trump looming always.

e: example, I was at a friends place, he is conservative and had fox news on (this was the day Scalise was shot). It was disturbing how hard they were calling everyone who is left of center of being advocates of violence, extremists, etc. It was in the tone of drumming up fear and anger that I haven't seen very often. In previous days we saw conservative, white-power militias, including one group posing with a gubernatorial candidate.

To be clear, I'm not afraid for me, and I don't think there's going to be a civil war or something. But I feel there are some potentially deadly situations brewing, and that the probability of them happening increases daily as Trump and the people who listen exclusively to him go farther off the edge.

I think you'll find that since America elected a Black president any racist baggage whites had is now atoned for. Any lingering bigotry is perpetuated by liberals and minorities who just want to be reverse racist towards white people.
