To be fair, the inevitable government welfare for Exxon will make that $180m look like lunch money, so they'll be happy to pay it to shut up the one journalist asking questions between Trump tweets.

Two Finger posted:i guess what keeps running through my mind is why are the russians interfering and why is trump fighting so hard to stop them being looked at? Well, look at the two sides: The people claiming Russian interference is the BIG GOVERNMENT that's always ruining everything and a party of sore losers who don't represent real Americans. The people being attacked for benefiting from Russian interference is the guy who promised to bring back your lovely coal job and fix all of your problems, his cronies who are going to grift a gorillian dollars from the economy, and the conservative assholes who have been salivating at the possibility of destroying anything that doesn't benefit super-rich assholes. So, absolutely loving nothing is going to happen because the people in power aren't going to implicate themselves and the people who do care are going to get shouted down by Twitter and a news media focused on eyeballs-on-stories that will happily drop the subject when Trump tweets about something else.

As a part of the plea agreement the dude forfeited the materials to the U.S. government. Thing is, though, they're still streaming on *tube porn sites so if you see "Torture of Porn Star Girl," "Pregnant and Willing" or"Defiant Crista Submits" you're watching official U.S. government porn.

psydude posted:I think this line of thinking, at least in public, really doesn't help regardless as to whether or not it's true. If it's cast as a partisan issue, then it only lends credibility to Trump's assertions that investigating the hacking is an attempt to undermine him by the Democrats and will make it harder to convince the McCains and Rubios of the world to vote in support of establishing a select committee to investigate it. If the Republicans could get rid of Trump without drowning in a flood of rascal scooters and MAGA hats, they absolutely would. Exposing Trump's scandals to sunlight might do that, but there's no guarantee on what damage Trump will do on his way out. The Democrats are going to politically grandstand because that's all they have left at this point given how utterly hosed their party is. It all comes down to the Republicans in Congress and whether they see Trump as a liability or an asset. They have the potential to enact a pretty much permanent majority in the US if they try hard enough, but Trump as the figurehead might be too unstable for their comfort level as he gleefully starts trade disputes and international incidents with 3 AM tweets. Pence would be infinitely superior to the Republican establishment because he won't do half the stupid poo poo Trump will, but Pence is only a step or two above Ted Cruz in terms of charisma, so he wouldn't be able to sell bullshit to the US like Trump can.

Man, this promise of hard-hitting journalism would be better if the press corps hadn't just spent the past two years opening their mouth wide to suck off Trump every time he made a ridiculous statement. You can dig up all the scandals you want, nobody's going to give a gently caress so long as every news outlet is more concerned about reporting what Trump just tweeted about because it's an easy way to put eyeballs on screens.

The man tried to argue that Nielsen ratings didn't include CNN, so if you added the CNN rating and the Nielsen ratings, Trump clearly had the most numbers.

I predict the EO is going to be one of two things: A: The NC bathroom bill, with "North Carolina" CTRL-R'd with "United States of America". B: A laughably quick slapped together thing that ends up being horribly unclear and unenforceable by anything.
