President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

What do you mean by "play it safe."

I'd hope media plays it safe almost all the time. It doesn't, of course, because fuck it, need ratings/clicks. America's so much better off for it, too, huh?

 

Which should smart people like her be doing? Most of them are lawyers or doctors or CEOs, I guess. What should they be doing? Where would their intelligence best be used?

 

Trumpists are such snowflakes.

 

Still nothing in the Steele Dossier has been conclusively and publicly disproven.

Nothing.

The prevailing take among the corporatist MSM is, "it must be untrue because the behaviors described are recklessly stupid and criminal, they'd almost be begging to get caught, plus the alleged sexual/scatalogical episodes are so perverted and disgusting no rational adult would let themselves get caught in such a situation."

 

Alma-
I think Maddow should work for the party. I don't think there's any insult in saying she already does.
Democrats need a person who is not only whip-smart but who understands politics/game theory.
That or a progressive think tank.

 

Fatfuck is like OJ and Pete Rose in the sense that the concept of presumption of innocence has been weaponized and effectively obliterated.

Essentially for all three of those guys and many many more, their all-purpose defense for everything is, "you must presume I am innocent, therefore I am innocent."


Anybody who ever even entertains the possibility that Fatfuck is "innocent" of any alleged repulsive, repugnant, perverted or criminal behavior is a sucker beyond the scope of normal pity.

 

Also, Alma, that sorry Republican contingent of the House Judiciary Committee is full of lawyers. Would you call Doug Collins and Louie Gohmert smart?
I am amazed any of these people earned a degree in any field governed by fact, truth and logic.

 

This is my point. How much of the Steele Dossier has been proven wrong? My memory tells me that very little if anything has been proven wrong. There may or may not be a pee tape but there are probably some tapes. And much of it has been corroborated. It is like the Mueller Report. It was a scathing indictment of a very crooked man but because people are too stupid to read it and the media is a bunch of pussies it was it was allowed to be "evidence" of an innocent/victimized Fatfuck. Good lord we are living in a fucked up time.

 

The Mueller report, and the corporatist MSM response to it, is hamstrung by the presumption of innocence -- you can't come out in public and say somebody is guilty of a crime unless they have been convicted, convicted again on appeal, again and again to the Supreme Court-- only then is it allowable to say that somebody committed a crime.

Watch that whole dynamic flip on its head in 2021 if Fatfuck steals re-election and Lardass Barr is really unleashed.

By that time it'll be too late to Be Careful.

 

Conclusively prove you didn't hire hookers to pee on the bed of the last hotel in which you stayed.

 

Subpoena the housekeeping records from the Casa Marina Hotel in Key West.
