That Guyger trial in general is disgusting because the only real defense this officer can try and use is that somehow this innocent man IN HIS OWN APARTMENT was a threat to the officer who burst in

However, given how good his questioning was maybe he knew that already and it's part of a strategy.

Hmm, would impeachment hearing on Barr have any chance of forcing him to recuse? Of course, they seem warranted regardless.

BigglesSWE posted:Any speculation on particular defense strategies from GOP has to take into consideration that this is just the beginning; we’ll have much more juicy stuff dripping out into the newsfeed for the foreseeable future, and beyond that, there’s Trump himself. In between these panic tweets of his he’s likely to try something unspeakably stupid. An actual conflict with Iran seems increasingly likely at this point.

Trump released the memo because his worm-filled brain thought it would make the Dems look stupid. That one impulsive act is going to result in an impeachment where not releasing the memo might not have,

Ya even in a world where the memo comes out publicly anyway, it looks real dumb when you release it. You can't even discredit it as fake anymore, you can only try to shovel poo poo on the people that produced it, which is... not going to go well. It's going to really be something to see just how many people ruin themselves by Using Their Body as a Shield Against the Liberal Blows. skylined! fucked around with this message at 15:57 on Sep 27, 2019 |

I think my favorite trumpism is when he says "You'll have to ask him" whenever he's confronted with some act of wrong doing or another. He dropped it about Pence once in the last couple of days which basically signals he's going to throw him under the bus as hard as he can.

Trump would 1000000% pin the entire thing on Pence if he thought it would get him out of trouble. Edit: The beauty of this is that Guiliani gets it and absolutely refuses to be the fall guy.

I really want to know what the gently caress is going on in the White House right now. Do they have a war room? Is everyone being paranoid that they're being set up? Is everyone trying to figure out who the 12 moles are?

The most qualified Republican-leaning candidates who even we might begrudgingly go "well he's evil but the best we can get" were disgusted and refused to work for him. The more patriotic guys and generals who knew it would destroy their careers but decided to do it for the country to try to restrain Trump have all quit or been fired. Their similar less-qualified counterparts who also decided to knowingly sacrifice their careers for the greater good are also gone. What is left are morons and true believers. And even many of them got knifed on the occasional stupid Trump whim to be replaced by even stupider people. Pence might be the only competent one left because he can't quit or be fired.

He ran the standard culture war GOP playbook in a place that LOVES that poo poo, and everybody STILL loving hated him.
