Space Cadet Omoly posted:Why bother protecting them though? Are they thinking they can get a political dynasty going here? Well for one, all the actual profitable corruption has been specifically directed through his kids (using family for this is literally corrupt presidenting/prime ministering/dictatoring 101) and that poo poo has been profitable on a scale of hundreds of millions. So there's both a potential, and likely tbh, financial incentive for keeping their names clean. There may be some hope still of passing the political reigns down to one fo his kids at some point, but at this point, Kushner and Ivanka have profited way, way more off of this presidency in absolute terms than Trump sr himself likely has

Ok initially I was going to joke that Barr never read the report hence the half-assed redacting, but now i'm pretty sure nobody in Trump's orbit read it, and I mean why would they. It's over 400 pages that's "too long" according to most GOP politicians

Pellisworth posted:I listened to an interview on NPR with Bill Weld. When asked what the most important thing he'd address in the first 100 days of his presidency, he emphatically said spending, we need to cut government spending it's out of control. The problem I have with that line is that normally when someone says it they intend to cut this spending in education and public works/aid. It's just one of those lines like when Republicans shriek about government being too big but then want government to control everything from who gets to enjoy their human rights to which countries deserve to exist.

Cabbit posted:Why does anyone defend this guy again? Some value his work during the Obama Administration and give him more credit than he deserves now. Some (incorrectly) think if the Mueller investigation found anything it would be a vindication for Hillary that would show she was actually a great candidate all along, so kind of fall backwards into an anti-anti-Trump posture.

Cabbit posted:Why does anyone defend this guy again? Because 1, he's done some legitimately great and important reporting in the past, 2, he's being insanely brave by reporting honestly about Bolsanaro's fascist policies while continuing to live in Brazil, and 3, his critique of channels like MSNBC overselling Russiagate had a lot of truth to it. That said, yeah, this tweet thread is positively deranged and he needs to log off for a bit. It's basically "lalala there's nothing there lalala."

It was always really notable that someone as ambitious and spotlight hungry and completely drawn to anything that could possibly increase his profile as reince bumped into the Trump administration and was spooked so badly that he just completely disappeared from anything to do with trump. Like yeah he was unceremoniously fired, but something spooked him enough that he just quietly disappeared off into the sunset
