If you're going to go for a general amnesty, it has to be in the form of something like a truth and reconciliation commission, where even if you're not seeking remedy for every individual outrage against the public good you are at least demanding their public admission.

My favorite part of this bullshit is that under the clothes line item it says "(Old Navy not Gucci)" as if somehow burning through almost a quarter million in post-tax dollars is a huge sacrifice because they're shopping at Old Navy.

There's a host of reasons, but one which must be considered is that people like him will take take take as much as they can until they face a meaningful consequence for doing so.

He has so far suffered no consequences. His brain interprets this not as "phew, I got lucky, time to lay low", but rather as "I am right. Everyone knows I am right. I can do way more because I am right and everyone knows it."

No way a family who makes $350k spends that much at Old Navy a month, I think they're trying to signal they buy clothes like middle class folks. They probably buy a pair of socks there or something.

Trump realized the Deep State (including everyone in the CIA and FBI) was trying to fabricate evidence to overthrow his government. His only recourse was to send his own loyalists all over the word to involve foreign intelligence agencies in a bid to defend himself. As the Ukraine Hoax shows, the Deep State will stop at nothing!

All you need to know about Bill Barr is that he wanted to have the False Claims Act declared unconstitutional back in 1990 because it was an impingement on executive power. The guy is a corrupt pro-busineas fuckface and always has been.

This poo poo makes my blood boil. To add to the above, that is some expensive loving day care. My 2 year old is at a reasonably priced day care 5 days per week and it comes out to about $12k per year. Not cheap, but also not almost 30 loving grand.

(Nevermind the limit for a dependent care account is $5k per year and hasn’t been raised since the 80s)

Our two kids are at the least expensive home daycare we could find near (note: not IN) Boston and it's close to $32k a year. Massachusetts has both the #1 Childcare in the country by some random ranking and the #1 most expensive in the country. I'm sure there's somewhere along the lines where the second rating could be cut without affecting the first, but of all the costs on that stupid list, childcare can absolutely be that expensive or worse.

nah you need to know considerably more

bill barr was a corrupt as gently caress bush loyalist but when he was appointed it wasn't clear he would be a trump loyalist too (since the bushes hate trump - i thought he was potentially less dangerous as a result and boy was that wrong). that he has spent ten years marinating in fox news and is just as filled with brain rot as any other random republican is a key data point because it's why he's as gung-ho for trump as the rest of the base
