Mueller's office basically gave Flynn the most positive recommendation they possibly could, signalling they were fine with no jail time, and these people turn around and make a hail mary for a pardon

because most of them have never had to face consequences for anything, so they don't prepare anything.

Seriously though, this has been your annual reminder that if the nice friendly policeman is just offering to get things straightened out here and now, just the two of us, without needing to go to court or spend money on any fancy lawyer-types, then there’s a good chance you are in incredibly deep poo poo and you need to talk to a lawyer right away. It’s a routine, and they’re good at it.

I know Fox News is completely nutso, but literally advocating anarchy was something that never entered my head. There's libertarianism and then there's saying that the government exists solely to give money to those people and congressmen so burn it all down. Admittedly it's not that much distance between those two points, but they've somehow managed to travel it.

They aren't anarchists, they're feudalists. They want to return to rule by private wealth. The modern conservative project is nothing more or less than the rebuilding of the aristocracy.

Flynn was known by colleagues as a master at gathering intel and having no idea what to do with it. He is some weird intel savant who was high on his own farts entering the White House.

i remember when he was first picked as national security advisor, NPR had someone who'd worked with him while he was at DIA and her summary was along the lines of "Michael Flynn was clearly very smart and gifted at intelligence work, and also he was manic all the time and regularly showed awful judgment, and that combination makes him incredibly dangerous [to us]"

That transcript about Flynn is just great. Its the FBI, not your "good ol' boys club".

As far as they are concerned the FBI does exist to keep the browns and other inferiors down. If Trump has his way that's what it will become in fact.

The smart thing to do would be to keep things volatile with disruptive but not overly destructive trade policies and tariffs (as things are now), lie continuously about things going well, and then in a year remove them all, take credit for the market rally, and ride that to the 2020 election.

The whole Flynn situation is so hosed up. The incoming National Security Advisor got caught on routine evesdropping selling out to a major world power. That is supremely hosed up. And it turns out the prosecutor is bending over backwards asking for the most lenient punishment because everyone else is even loving worse. Unbefuckingleavable.

I dunno, the market started tanking in early October, and for months before that there wasn't any huge controversy over what the likely outcome of the midterm elections would be. I think it has more to do with the reality of Donald "Tariff Man" Trump's Wild Ride wrt global trade finally becoming apparent, in an environment where equities were already overvalued and the inevitable interest rate hikes have started to have their effect.
