Every time I need a quick pick-me-up, I stop and think about how Hunter S. Thompson would have reacted if he'd lived to see this election and subsequent scandal unfold. Although to be fair, he'd probably have died anyway, his head likely would have exploded from sheer rage months ago.

He would have shot himself. Kerry losing to Bush in 2004 was one of the things that pushed him over the edge. Well, that, and years of drug and alcohol abuse. It'd be great to have him around right now though.

It's a mixture of being dumb people and having been told their whole lives they're a special, superior aristocracy that deserves all its wealth and power. They've mistaken being of a social class that isn't permitted to fail for being incredibly wily and talented at hiding their crimes.

I'm thinking this is from Manafort and the investigators he's been singing to. He's a rat, and rats flee sinking ships. Of course he's a rat who is about to spend the rest of his life in federal prison, but the metaphor had to break down somewhere.

A secret meeting wouldn't have caused that either.

Main thing happening around then was primary season ending and prep for the conventions. Could have been bot accounts, could have been primary voters consolidating.

Dude - a secret meeting where you officially accept the Russian support and promise to give something back, thus Russia starting their biggest botnet initiative might result in that

it brings the possibility that don jr., kushner, and manafort are criminally charged though to like 99.99999999999999999999999999999% unless a pardon is issued and once there's a criminal trial it all goes to poo poo for trump real, real quickly

Given just how bad this is do you think it nixes the theory that Kushner was involved in the leaks to the Times as part of a political power play? Because surely he would be smart enough to see how this would burn him too.

To be done with all this measuring of proof.

And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

Complex, statistically improbable things are by their nature more difficult to explain than simple, statistically probable things.
Grimey Drawer

This right here was a really stupid move, because whatever appears on CNN, NYT and other places can be readily dismissed by Trump's base, but by posting it himself he just made it all unquestionable truth to both sides.

Now he posted the thing, completely removing any shadow of doubt that it's real and NYT can make the article even more damning and with data that has already been verified by Jr. himself.

arguably accepting the pardon is an admission of guilt, but you do not have to actually plead guilty or actually say anything at all (except if you get charged, to plead that you have a full pardon for the charged offenses)

I've been using internet archive's wayback machine to compare news today with news in mid-July 2009, six months into Obama's first term. It's kind of surreal, looking at Fox News and seeing... Basically nothing of note regarding the President. I had to check twice to confirm I was on the front page and that it had loaded correctly.

Nothing scandalous was going on. It's not even slightly comparable to today, even when looking to the places that leapt at any excuse to attack Obama. The whole mustard scandal was back in May, and his healthcare plan was just getting rolling. Nothing bigger had come along since, aside from some crackpot rich guy yelling that he wanted to see Obama's birth certificate.
