CrowdControl posted:I'm just going by this standard definition. It's not an ethical failing if other people want to bribe you, but it is an ethical failing to take the money! I mean, why do you think we even have the emoluments clause. How can it be an ethical failure if becoming president makes you so influential that everyone wants to bribe you? Surely it's fine to take the money right. E: and are you really trying to argue that using your influence to get your failson a job isn't nepotism, because somehow it isn't favoring someone to get them a job? That's the tack we're going with here, getting jobs isn't favorable? VitalSigns fucked around with this message at 22:21 on Sep 27, 2019 |

How, on the day the Senate is like "yeah the NRA is a Russian asset" do they manage to immediately get found out trying to solicit bribes through the NRA.

On the topic of bribes, I wanted to repost and cleanup this thing I noticed last night So here is some fluff  Rudy article about how badly his divorce is going and how all of his family hates him. Specifically, its about an allegation from his wife that he left his lawfirm to work for Trump for free to avoid paying alimony.https://twitter.com/thedailybeast/status/1154506632547749899 It contained a very interesting quote that everyone seemed to just let slip by their attention quote:Clair said Giuliani’s work for Trump is meant to lead the court to “believe he somehow doesn’t have money.” Why is Trump's other lawyer lending him 100k? Especially when he has no means making money since he is working pro-bono for Trump and is claiming to be broke as a joke in court? That reads like a bigass bribe being laundered through another Trump lawyer, just like how Cohen laundered the Stormy Daniels payments. Mukasey sure as poo poo isn't doing this out of the kindness of his heart, all of this poo poo taken together just smells rotten as hell

Regardless of which way the zeitgeist turns they have an built-in out they can turn to to show just how grounded in the correct way they were all along, but also how convincingly they could flip the switch and go all-in on the opposite position if you hired either one of them as a flak. It's slimy as gently caress but neither of them are dumb people and Kellyanne will be one of the few to (sadly) escape relatively untarnished.

So as Trump goes to the NRA/ Russian Intelligence for help, and William Barr goss for a "long vacation" in Europe, Fox's the Five are saying "nah everything's fine! The democrats really overreached on this one!"and "Biden is the one REALLY in trouble here!"  Absolutely unreal the parallel universe Fox projects

I wake up in South Korea, see 900 posts waiting for me, and get that mattering tingle. But it was a bunch of morons arguing about dumb poo poo. Which is even worse because: 1) Senate revealed the NRA is a Russian asset 2) Trump is on audio talking to LaPierre, a Russian asset, for money to help fight impeachment (soliciting a bribe, very illegal, the best illegal) 3) Pompeo got smacked with a Subpoena that carries the weight of a contempt charge by the end of next week, and a host of other subpoenas are lined up 4) AG Barr is a flight risk in Italy 5) Courts smacked the admin with an injuction saying they can't hold kids in border jail indefinitely. 6) Stormy Daniels got paid for $450K because she was unjustly arrested by a bunch of Police CHUDS 7) Rudy is getting hung out to dry due to be an alimony cheat. 8) POLITICO had the Best Headline of 2019. You have so much Politics to discuss, shut the gently caress up about dumb semantics!

The fat orange man having some sort of Twitter quiet time recently is kind of bumming me out. I want more insanity. I want a rally why isn't he doing a rally right now. I probably need more therapy because this week has sparked joy in me the likes I have not felt since the Obama re-election freep thread.
