Decent?
He was against Trump because he was pro-Cruz.

He 'cracked' when he found out Cruz wouldn't be destroying the world in a religious 1776 founder gently caress everyone apart from white male christian fest.

Beck only sounds saner now because he cant out insane Trump.

I remember reading a Rolling Stone interview that made me sort of see him in the same light. He's still an opportunistic hyperdramatic shock-jock. But he seems, for whatever reason now to have realized that his audience actually believes his insane bullshit and that it could hurt people if he goes off the deep end again. Thumbs up I guess?

The problem is that SOMEONE has to eat the label of "the person who killed Trumpcare". If there's no vote, that's McConnell. If there's an unsuccessful vote, that's also McConnell and whoever votes "No". So for McConnell, it's lose/lose. If no bill exists that can possibly please both Moderates and Teahadists, which now seems to be the case, then the only other option is to pick A bill and drive it straight at the wall in a colossal game of chicken, and see who blinks first.

Could he? I mean I'm sure he wouldn't have been incel or anything, but for someone with ambition she was a good choice. If anything it was Ivanka who married down; her dad's crazy, but his is an ex-con, and hers has more money. She's obviously better looking, and how many high society debutantes would have wanted to convert to orthodox Judaism? Giving up one day every weekend to your religion is kind of a big deal. He might be in over his head now, but access to Trump has obviously worked out pretty well for him so far now that he's the minister of every portfolio.

I would totally marry someone like Ivanka, the insane dad gives ample opportunity for shenanigans, and just the exposure alone that comes with that gives you a platform for doing good stuff and publicly calling out Insane FIL's bullcrap. Move far away and you don't even need good excuses for not visiting at the holidays.

I think McConnell's current plan is to accept Ted Cruz's amendment, accept Ted Cruz's public advice to keep the Senate in session through the recess, have Ted Cruz champion the bill and work to get it passed, and then blame Ted Cruz when it all collapses.

And then 98 other Senators step forward to blame the whole fiasco on Ted Cruz, because if there's one thing the Senate can agree upon, it's gently caress Ted Cruz.

Maybe 97 if Mike Lee remains an idiot.

Yeah, I was being a little optimistic on that one. Still, it doesn't look like he has the votes, though it's remains incumbent to pressure Senators about it.

they told me
I was everything
In 2005, following an investigation by the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of New Jersey, U.S. Attorney Chris Christie negotiated a plea agreement with Kushner, under which he pleaded guilty to 18 counts of illegal campaign contributions, tax evasion, and witness tampering. The witness-tampering charge arose from Kushner's act of retaliation against William Schulder, his sister Esther's husband, who was cooperating with federal investigators; Kushner hired a prostitute to seduce his brother-in-law, arranged to record an encounter between the two, and had the tape sent to his sister.

...

And, the crimes notwithstanding, [Jared] sees his father as a victim. "His siblings stole every piece of paper from his office, and they took it to the government," Jared maintained. "Siblings that he literally made wealthy for doing nothing. He gave them interests in the business for nothing. All he did was put the tape together and send it. Was it the right thing to do? At the end of the day, it was a function of saying 'You're trying to make my life miserable? Well, I'm doing the same.'"

"If you're convicting murderers, it's one thing," Jared said. "It's often fairly clear. When you get into things like white-collar crime, there are often a lot of nuances. Seeing my father's situation, I felt what happened was obviously unjust in terms of the way they pursued him."
