Given his media and public appearance methods/control the SOTU speeches might be the closest he ever gets to such an audience.

How did the Trump Jr interview on Hannity go? How did they spin it?

It makes me physically uncomfortable to watch Trump Jr or Hannity so I skipped it and read a bit of 1984.

I didn't watch Hannity but the general spin take from DJTJR's camp is so far:

-It's politics and if you hear you could get good info and no one said they got it illegally etc, why not at least sit down to talk about it?
-Russian hacking and meddling wasn't public knowledge at the time of the meeting, so this isn't collusion with any criminal act
-No info ended up being passed anyway
-In hindsight I might have done things differently, but nothing criminal occurred

Russian lawyer angle: I don't know what anyone's talking about I'm just a lobbyist I've never even heard of this kremlin or gremlin or whatever

The SF-86 standard is true to the best of your knowledge IIRC. So if you're 50 and your 20 year old kid is gaming all the time with his foreign government-employed DOTA clan member and you don't know about it, probably not a big deal. If your adult kid works overseas doing foreign government contracts 6 months a year and you check "no" without even asking them, you're probably a dumbass.

It was a weird shitshow. Feds slow to act, local government slow to ask.

I talked to a 68 year old family friend who'd ridden out every storm since childhood. "Never again" was his mantra after Katrina. Also it killed a couple family members. At least they'd lived a full life.

E: Aside from some weird police murders including the infamous bridge and one off events , the idea of firefights in the streets was massively overblown.

Cop may find his/herself in hot water. The department has not at all come out swinging saying it was justified, just that they're looking into the matter. And one report is that the cop shot across the driver, from passenger seat, to hit her, which is a real weird engagement. Mayor has said some vague stuff about this being deeply troubling and they're investigating.

The other difference, as far as we know from Early Reporting (tm), is that whereas in Yanez' shoot, the partner couldn't clearly see what was going on inside the car, in this case the partner is going to have to rather directly either say it looked like a good or bad shoot. I mean, I guess he could say he just closed his eyes and then a woman got shot, buutttt...

I know the US SS has been in some seriously hot water the last decade or so, but I'm pretty sure they're golden if they just say "The president insisted he was fine alone in a room with Putin and some other Russian despite our protests. He said 'no one knows security better than I do. I have the the best security.' He then ordered agent Don Johnson to plow several prostitutes while using a government travel card as payment."

I kind of vaguely knew a chick from down the street in high school who never wore seatbelts and would routinely just bum around day-drinking with her friends in her car. She was a couple years older and would give out booze to middle school kids when she was in high school.

One day she had 5 people in her car and smashed it into oncoming traffic, killing 4 of the 5 occupants (no one in the other car died, and they had seatbelts on). The one survivor was 12 or 13 or so so and I never saw her speak again and her parents moved soon after that; welp, that's my story!

I clicked on some picture of a girl who died driving her parents' Porsche in very unsafe ways, but like her head was so messed up and/or inside out that my brain couldn't even really compute what I was looking at, and that made it less awful.

And Greenwald hides behind "I don't like Trump either."

There's certainly precedent for an apolitical organization shutting Trump down and taking the mic. But then he lied about the preacher and people attacked her for being political by refusing to let Trump use her church for political speech.
