THE DEM DEFENDER HAS LOGGED ON

as context, this was basically inevitable - the judge strongly encouraged the trumps to agree to dissolution at the very beginning

So what prevents them from opening up another sham foundation in a few months?

Thank the Almighty that she's only playing to a pool of fools then. I think her lack of morals and clear dark intelligence could have done alot more damage otherwise. Like with a non-toddler president.

Lack of morals, sure, but I've never really gotten "intelligence" from Shucks. If she hadn't been born into privilege, I doubt she'd have risen above certified Yelp complainer as a career.

shucks has the utter lack of shame to attempt to spin anything, but she's utterly terrible at it. nobody buys it, and honestly i think she gets run out there to demonstrate the trump administration's utter contempt for the media by not even being willing to offer plausible lies or coherent spin.

I just mean to have that quick of a wit, to lie the completely and flatly. Takes intelligence to be a real lying rear end in a top hat in my experience, I've known a few. :shrug:

See, when I think about spin, I guess I also take into account the intended audience, which in this case, are stupid assholes.

nah this isn't about appeal. this is about shutting down any conspiracy nonsense about how he's not actually guilty, and he's making Flynn say over and over again that yes, he's absolutely guilty and that his attempts to suggest he was entrapped are nonsense. i think this comment is basically informing Flynn his options are to completely and clearly disclaim the conspiracy theory or go to jail, and Flynn and his attorneys have gotten the message loud and clear and are busy cleaning up their nonsense and admitting he's 100% a criminal.

i don't, fortunately, but i would more interpret that as the fact that she's the mouthpiece of their Leader and so to them whatever she says is by definition true. it's not about her skill at lying, its their blind faith in trump transferred to her

but that's not as easy as he thinks it is, since the military does not actually have the money or expertise to do it

they're just going to say they will, do nothing, and hope people forget about it

Even if he forces the military to do it it doesn’t literally mean they’re going to order soldiers to dig holes for foundation and lay bricks or whatever. Do you think the Air Force designs and builds their fancy jets and missiles and stuff? What happens would be the military would put out a call for proposals where they lay out what it is they want, and then commercial companies would come in and make bids for it (“this is what we’ll do to meet your requirements and it’ll cost us this much and take this long and here are 500 pages of supporting documents”). In the end it’s those commercial companies that will end up building the thing.
