"I was conceived during one of my mother's few conjugal visits before she herself was sent to do her time at a different federal prison. There was plenty left in my father's assets left over after the RICO seizure, so it wouldn't be fair to call my childhood an exceptionally poor one. In a lot of ways, I had it easy. I had a court appointed guardian and lots of private schooling, and I was supposed to keep it low key. Wouldn't even be given designer clothing. Lived in a fairly humble apartment. Nanny wouldn't let me give her any poo poo. So I guess I'm a lot different from anyone in the two families I would otherwise be famous for. Mostly, my needs are taken care of so I volunteer at a soup kitchen and try to find some way to be ... I don't know, as morally distant from my inheritance as possible.

Then they looked disconcertingly at each other, and asked me how many of the star wars prequels got best picture. I said zero. Then one of them said "We found it. We found the cursed timeline." Apparently, to them, I'm some sort of temporal capstone or key, a bridging artifact. It's difficult to understand them. The one unexpectedly decent outcome of the darkest timeline. Apparently I have to travel with them to fix the timestream. In every other universe, Trump doesn't become president, and so I am raised either by the Kushners or the Trumps and become the world's most foul super-villain. I'm only stopped from being evil in this universe because everything went so pear-shaped that both my mom and my dad ended up in the slammer in the fallout of an impressively, comically corrupt clownshow.

So, to this day, I hunt my alternate reality counterparts and their imperial families. That is my job. I am the Antitrump."

I think the best part about Fox News' weird "the democrats set him up" idea is that for the plan to work Obama had let in the Russian lawyer on purpose, the democrats fed them correct information on Clinton, they then setup the meeting somehow with Donald's idiot son, the information damaged Clinton and the Russians helped Trump win because of some vague Democrat plants, and then six months into Trump's presidency release the story to discredit him and his family

Going down this train of logic of Obama setting it up, it means that Don Jr, Kushner, and Manafort all allowed themselves to be put in situations where they could be blackmailed. I find it hard to imagine Kushner maintains a security clearance after this.

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."

Ice Phisherman posted:

Kushner's actions are indicative of a survival style that one needs to adopt if they're going to work for Trump. It's not a cause. It's a symptom.

I can very easily see Jared marrying Ivanka because they've both been raised in families with exactly the same dysfunction. They've both been trained since birth that their fathers are always right. Their brains have literally been wired that way. The thought that their fathers might be wrong or that they might not defend their fathers or give them whatever they want can't even really occur to them. If you look up the site DWIL Nation you can find a lot of people dealing in some way with a similar dynamic, and a good number of people trying to defend terrible things that their parents have done.

Man, after reading all that, my DARE officer seems like a flower-sniffing dandy now. I just had to watch really stupid videos.

Yeah, my DARE officer was fine. We learned about different kinds of drugs and then learned cheers that were supposed to keep us from using drugs (DARE in the 80s was what happens when people base things on what should work instead of what actually works). Everybody else's DARE classes seem to have taken place in an episode of Reno 911.

Not to mention the whole motive thing is still in question. So the Obama administration threw every branch of the government to the Right in a massive, subtle coup because...they really have a hate-on for the glorious God Emperor Trump?

They made some other group, I think it wasn't even DARE, come to my health class in the seventh grade (which was taught by the gym teacher). Some cop (at least, I think he was a cop, he may have just been some authority figure with a uniform) introduced the guest speaker who was a former drug addict, who gave his whole speech and asked if there were any questions, and this kid who was sporting a mohawk and wearing a Dead Kennedys shirt raised his hand and just said "Drugs sound cool," and the guy started sweating and said "Nice hair!" and mohawk guy immediately responded "Thanks." Then there was a long awkward pause and the cop guy escorted Mohawk to the Headmaster's office.

The mohawk guy was my friend so later I was like "You're not going to take drugs are you?" and he was like "No, I was just bored." He dropped out and went to different public school at the end of the year.

That's my DARE story, since we're telling them.

Back when the FCC internet privacy repeal happened, T_D's reaction to it was mostly "this doesn't actually kill internet privacy because... so this is just liberals making stuff up to make Trump look bad" so expect them to trot that out again.

Ringo Star Get: Sep 18, 2006; JUST FUCKING TAKE OFF ALREADY, SHIT

So now that the initial excitement has died down - do these emails between Don Jr and co have any real impact on anything? Because remember we have had other things come up and Trump is still blasting his big mouth like nothing is touching him.

Basically,

-was Don Jr part of the of campaign and White House staff?
-if yes, does any wording in the emails specifically implicate who is involved and what was going to be exchanged or given
-if no, how does this affect Trump?

I know these things can take time and I know that it seems like big news, but major news stations like Fox and then elected congressmen and politicians are generally acting like this isn't a big deal. If it was honestly a terrible thing, as in "oh poo poo we are caught and it's proof of us loving up the electoral process," wouldn't there be more of a serious reaction from the right?

I ask it so that I can also refute any arguments that people try to state that there isn't any issues or anything wrong.
