I was just thinking today, is there any update on what exactly Melania does all day? I mean, she said she was going to do something about cyber bullying but it doesn't even seem like they're going to put in the effort of even making it look like they give a poo poo.

There were some reports that she was watching a lot of tv to inform Trump that it wasn't fair to him and browsing around the internet for articles he would find interesting or useful to punch back with (often from crackpot right wing conspiracy sites, according to reports of his aides freaking out about not being able to keep the printouts away from him).

Based on her interactions with her husband I imagine she spends all day watching MSNBC and poo poo posting about how much Trump sucks.

mcmagic posted:Even Any Klobushar was on TV today slobbering over the GOP party hack and Christie crony that Chimp is trying to install at the FBI. WHAT THE gently caress ARE DEMOCRATS THINKING???? In my eyes, anyone Trump nominates for FBI director is suspect, because there never should have been a need to replace the sitting director in the first place. There's no reason to trust Trump to find someone who will actually do a good job of overseeing the FBI and any investigations of his campaign.

I had a dream last night where Trump just said fuckit to the whole Russia investigation thing, goes on national TV, and says "you know what? I did it. Yes, I loving colluded with Russia to win an election. And you know what? I would do it again because MAGA." And then there were literally no consequences, because at this point one half of the country just gives literally no gently caress anymore. And it's just plausible enough to happen in this hosed up world we somehow found ourselves occupying.

Time magazine seems to be the avatar of stupid disinterested people so I'm curious if they're being hostile to Trump based on that cover. They're bad at journalism but probably not a bad barometer of what idiot white voter thinks.

FlamingLiberal posted:If there's anything I've learned in the last 5 years, it's that there is nothing on earth a cop could do to get a murder conviction. There was a cop in New Jersey who was reporting to the FBI about abuse in his police department about 7 years ago. Some other officers on the force found out and one of them went to his house and threatened to kill him and his family if he didn't recant and stop talking to the FBI. The original cop who was talking to the FBI shot the other guy from the force and was later successfully prosecuted for 3rd degree murder.

botany posted:The Jury system is broken. Getting rid of juries and stopping the election of judges would go a long way to fixing the US's broken judicial system. Juries are good. The problem is that lawyers can throw people off juries if they want, because they might be "biased" (i.e. be informed or opinionated in ways that might go against their guy.) This leads to things like if the defendant is black, the prosecution tries to make the jury all-white. Or if the defendant is a cop, the defense tries to make the jury out of people that blindly trust authority. This could be fixed by the jury being picked completely randomly by computer, and the lawyers having to deal with what they are given. Someone I know was picked for a jury once and rejected because he answered the question "Do you always trust the police to tell the truth?" with "No." Now, this guy is not someone who dislikes the police (completely the opposite), but a guy with critical thinking skills who would *never* trust any group blindly.
