It occurs to me, this is only what he did literally the day after the Mueller report. Reading the notes/transcript it's super clear he felt like that was a green light for him to do whatever he wanted. Wonder what else he's been up to in the time between then and now that hasn't come out yet.

SpaceDrake posted:And likely happened because Trump was emboldened after the failure of Mueller. I think there's a desire to fit things into a coherent narrative so that it feels like everything led here, but it seems way simpler than that. Trump is a corrupt, criminal idiot. His campaign involved crimes. He's been doing crimes since he got into office. His administration is full of corrupt criminals who just constantly do crimes for the hell of it. He should have already been impeached a hundred times over, so literally anything that doesn't result in him being removed from office is going to embolden him. I don't actually think there's any kind of story that got us here, he just happened to finally do a crime that pissed off exactly the right people at the right time.

bird cooch posted:I love big cats. I spent 10 years living in an area where cougars absolutely lived and we often saw a sign and I always wanted to see one of the wild but generally that comes with being eaten by one. Cheetahs are of course the most doggiest of cats. I'd love to be able to get to know one of them, and once upon a time that could have been possible. They tend to like people and yellow labs for some reason. Too bad there's only about 5000 of them left in wild. But now were left with counting the fat folds in the neck of an orange poo poo smear, so I guess there's that.

ascii genitals posted:get high as gently caress Wisdom. This poo poo is going to come out when it comes out. The White House will gently caress it up and Trump will fly into perhaps the biggest narcissistic rage we've ever witnessed, which will shoot himself in the drat foot. Also he'll attempt to shut down the government to cover up his crimes, which will also hilariously backfire.

I always I thought that if I somehow became a wildly wealthy person I would start a breeding company for all of these incredible animals that are just going to fade into nothing. But I don't have the built-in drive to become wealthy it's just not part of my soul.

Zoos right now are kinda sort of taking care of it. Rather not have wildly wealthy persons do it, as they tend to gently caress poo poo up. Wild spaces would be better, if possible. Or of course the number of fat folds in the neck of the orange poo poo smear. Whatever's more important.

Also since I missed a few things in this hyperspace threadlurker2006 posted:Don't lie on the internet. Naw but, I'm actually kinda serious - if he really did do something tremendously horrific like promise to not intervene in a full RF takeover of Ukraine, and then this leaks out before the Russian army was supposed to cross the border, things are going to be entirely too loving real very quickly. There's a handful of other things that could be that scale. I hope it isn't that bad and doesn't spark a conflict somewhere on its reveal. Data Graham posted:I don't disagree with any of this, but it does make me kinda mad to think that Trump has been right all along by making it all about Ratings I mean, it's infuriating to say, but how the public fits their consumption of current events into their wider lives has an enormous effect on their perception of such events and who they hear of events from; Trump proved as far back as the 20th century that he was an absolute master of controlling that, at least, before dementia robbed him of all rational faculties.

I can see this plausibility being the case. Putin tells trump that Ukraine has dirt on a few made up russiabot conspiracies, trump is dumb enough to believe Putin, trump sells out Ukraine to extort the non-existent information, Putin invades a newly weakened Ukraine.
