Rudy is the greatest Method Actor of our time. A complete loving sycophant enabler that will force himself to believe he is a shoe if it somehow exonerates donald.

Phil Moscowitz posted:Is it possible Michael Cohen is the rat that’s going to bring down this entire criminal enterprise? It is hard to keep track of everything going on in the case (actually, the cases), but from following it for almost two years, I would say there is nothing so theatrical as a single informer or witness who will change the entire course of this investigation. The interlocking investigations (campaign collusion, money laundering, obstruction of justice, etc) are mostly white collar criminal cases, which means that the main work is being done by lawyers and accountants going over literally millions of pages of documents, seeing where money came from and where it went. Even in the type of organization where money is being paid out in Wal-Mart bags full of cash (and a mismatched MMA boxing glove), there is going to be a gigantic documentary and e-Mail trail. So I don't think there is a single keystone figure. We also don't know, from what is publicly available, which one of the 4 main cooperating witnesses, Flynn, Cohen, Gates or Manafort(as much as his cooperation helped), gave the most new information, or whether there are other people who have given even more information. While I appreciate the entire idea of Michael Cohen telling Mueller "All the documents can be found in a locked safe in a warehouse in the waterfront", it is more likely it is just forensic accounts in offices looking over papers, page by page.

If he lasts out his term and is voted out, can you imagine how much he won't shut up from November 3, 2020 to January 20, 2021?

Groovelord Neato posted:i dunno how people fall for such obviously fake stories. it's not solely a right wing thing - there was a twitter thread yesterday where someone told the story a female project manager told off a bernie bro coworker and it was incredibly shitthatdidnthappen.txt but the replies were all oh man that's so awesome. good for her! poo poo like that. When the internet became widely used everyone instantly forgot that 95% of what you read is trolling or lies. I don't care about purges or algorithms or whatever security is in place, most of youtube accounts are fake and stupid, and forget about twitter and facebook. Every major corporation knows you need an engaged and human moderation team to have a semblance of meaningful discussion. The only exceptions are the tech lord libertarian shitheads of silicone valley who actually created the supposed public squares we have to encounter every day. They decided we have to live in a libertarian hellscape wild west. We will look back on this era of the internet the way we now look back on the eras of colonization. It's evil companies and government entities and Nazis who know how to lie battling in a lawless area on who can inflict the most misery on the greatest number of people for the largest profit margins.

TulliusCicero posted:From the mid term data, women in general went HARD across the board to the left after Kavanaugh Any Trump nominee was getting confirmed and would probably rule as badly as any other but they went with the one that was the most obviously scum because Trump thinks (maybe correctly) that he'll say Presidents, current and former, are immune from all laws. The optics of that confirmation were terrible and hopefully works to gently caress with the legitimacy of the SCOTUS where we are told by legal dorks they are impartial God's ruling purely on sound legal theory. When Scalia died there were so many legal blog posts offended that people would see him as a turd who made up arguments in order to rule based on his own personal ideology when everyone else knew exactly what he was doing.

He thinks Schumer is the one he's negotiating with and Pelosi is a subordinate. This is definitely the case. And Trump has literally no understanding of how the government works so even if he wasn't inclined to tell Pelosi to get some fast food while the men do some negotiating, he still would likely think that the senate was the one driving things. Hieronymous Alloy posted:I think that's also why Pelosi hasn't gotten a nickname yet, why he keeps speaking over her in meetings, etc. It's simply not even registering with him that there is a woman in a position of co-equal power who can tell him flatly "no."

That requires: a) Ginsberg surviving another two years (she's 85 and has had multiple surgeries just last year, she may be strong but the odds are against her) b) Dems gain control of the Senate (very low chance) c) Thomas dying after Dems gain control You're basically counting on the perfect alignment of the stars.
