What kicked this off? wasn't the Mueller thing a wet fart of "Hey, it's not my job to tell you if he did crimes, go impeach him." instead of "Holy poo poo, this man did all the crimes go impeach him, he'd be perp walking if he where a normal citizen."

the Mueller thing was more the latter, as far as anyone can tell, and Mueller is apparently annoyed that it was twisted so is testifying in order to make his meaning in the report perfectly clear with no one filtering what he says before it gets to cameras/congress

or so we hope

Cspam trump thread meme. Its "the sound your brain makes when it breaks". It's hard to explain without getting cspammy, but it involves cats, pills and trump

Ah. I thought it was a reference to a bridge starting to go.

It started as a bit taken from WikiHow on 'how to give your cats pills' (with the crack ping) which was then photoshopped to Trump's head being forced to take the pills, crack ping, and then staring at a mcnaughton painting.

Probably will be forgotten by tomorrow. Mueller is basically restricted, by either DOJ or by himself, to short responses.

The only thing that worries me about charging him with crimes after he leaves office is that the GOP is going to use the precedent and go after every outgoing president that isn't part of the GOP.

this sort of thing is the main reason new administrations are reluctant to prosecute their predecessors - because if they did then every president after that would go from the white house straight to prison

I mean it seems like a pretty easy situation to avoid going to prison. You just have to not commit a stupid amount of high profile crimes that can be proven in court while you're the president.

Casimir Radon

Errol Morris called Donald Rumsfeld the most self deceived person he's ever met. Especially poignant since the previous film he'd made was Tabloid. A documentary about Joyce McKinney, who flew to the UK in 1977 with a couple of co-conspirators to kidnap a Mormon missionary she was obsessed with. Then she tied the guy up and raped him. She blames his version of events on Mormon brainwashing. Also she apparently did a fatal hit and run on some guy last week.

The Fog of War, The Unknown Known, and Tabloid are all great. Morris isn't perfect though. He filmed some ads for Theranos, and he thinks Jeffrey MacDonald is innocent.

He's not dead, he's been sucking up to Russia ever since he took power, the S-400 deal was probably just to make good on it.

The article is about a bunch of articles saying he hasn't been seen publicly for a week and there a rumors he died of a heart attack. Just rumors at this point. What I'm getting at is that if he dies does that mean Turkey might shift back towards NATO and away from Russia?
