Just to be clear, the domestic sockpuppet army operated on behalf of Trump by Scott Presler is perfectly legal, and fair use of campaign funds. It's the funds originating from foreign interests and the mysterious appearance of the same tech - owned by the Mercers - in St Petersburg, behaving as they do. Oh, also WikiLeaks, guccifer 2.0, Flynn, all the Russian assets assigned to Trump's campaign. And wedge attacks, and advertising targeted so perfectly to game electoral college that the Intel must have come from the gop leadership. Edit: concisely. Preslers army and the Ira's translation project seem to align on techniques and causes. I believe they collaborate in amplifying targeted hashtags, for example. Demexit for example. Presler seems to do more of the aggressive "trigger the libs" Nazi stuff. Russia's a lot more imaginative. Uglycat fucked around with this message at 03:47 on Mar 13, 2018 |

Neurolimal posted:This kind of plays into the whole "Trump is a sad old man desperate for friends and people to talk to" theory. What kind of bullshit is this? Despite being in the public eye for nearly his entire adult life, Donald J. Trump has not ONCE given a sign that he cares at all about other human beings. He's narcissistic and self-absorbed to the bone. He openly brags about only either treating people as servants or as marks to be exploited. He doesn't care about "friends" or "people to talk to". He might have talked to Stormy about her career because he sees himself as some kind of business genius, but using that to paint Donald Trump as a pitiable figure is straight  Trump is a dude who smiles biggest when he's hurting people.

Trump is narcissistic and self-absorbed but all of that is a house of cards, barely held together by the validation and approval he gets from others. That's why he's so desperate for positive attention - he doesn't care about friends or people like a normal person would, but he does care very much about what they think of and say about him.

That or Trump feels uncomfortable having sex with people that he doesnt have a dad-daughter relationship with. Her lawyer was just on CNN and was very clear that their opinion is NOT that Trump was uninvolved and never signed off. Their stance is that he deliberately kept his hands clean and "forgot" to sign so that he could do exactly what the White House is doing and deny knowledge.

Russia wouldn't need to obtain persona management software from anyone else, they've almost certainly written their own.

That...seems like a weird strategy, nonsensical even. The point of an NDA is to make sure nobody talks, and as a private citizen (and with no political aspirations at the time) a record of it wouldn't be available to a FOIA request. He wouldn't need to deny knowledge at all (because she would be bound to the NDA) and it's a really weak counternarrative. That's not to say that it's impossible, just unlikely enough that she'll need pretty compelling proof.

I'll be honest and say I don't know much about the guy aside from a couple of Twitter posts/pictures that have been linked through from here. I don't know that a US citizen running a set of profiles on Twitter is actually illegal in and of itself, though it probably is against TOS. Dunno.

I am going to join the seminary, become a priest, and somehow become the Pope even though I have a Jewish wife and a son on the way purely so that I can declare myself Pope Finbar I, dress like Pennywise the Dancing Clown, and have the papal clown egg put in the Vatican museum. I'm also changing the words back to "And also with you" so that the next time one of my relatives dies, I'm not confused by all this "And with your spirit" stuff.

I think that constitutes as "political aspirations". Also I'm not even sure what you're arguing. Are you saying she's making it all up? Because even Sarah Sanders has verified that its legit. IANAL but they don't seem to be in the need of proof of why Trump didn't sign, because its clear he didn't sign. Their case is that since he never signed the NDA is void. I have no idea if that's legally sound but his motivation for not signing seems secondary. Also he alleged they have prove. Its been inferred she has photos, texts, or recordings. But regardless the lawyer felt that this was just a deliberate action to distance him from it the same way he handles so many other business deals he never really intends to follow through on.

Don't loving kid yourselves about Presler. I've made the mistake of reading like a solid minute of his twitter Persistence horseshit and, while not certified in any way, shape or form to diagnose him, he reminds me of an acquaintance who was very good at self-deception, and in just one slightly crappy day, his whole "big loving deal" persona just eroded. Presler can keep looking at Trump like a big, strong daddy all he wants (just like Garrison), but the second his self-deception falters... well, we're probably not gonna hear/read much about it. Unless the MAGA Chuds have an epidemic of mental breakdowns or something. Which, y'know, could happen.
