Yeah, this is canon. You also gotta wonder if someday they'll look at statistics of outed foreign agents embedded in our IC and discover a wealth of hiring dates during this administration. But again, I think Hanlon's razor applies primarily.
If failed shenanigans incur no cost, shenanigans will be attempted each and every time. Blowback to the FSB for this whole election thing? Maria Butina is serving 18 months. That's about three and a half Martha Stewarts. Guys who poisoned the Skripals? Showed up on television to say they were tourists. “There’s two people I think Putin pays: Rohrabacher and Trump.”
“There’s two people I think Putin pays: Rohrabacher and Trump.”
Maybe it's the gin and tonic but ZOMFG I this has to shellack the mutherfucker. Surely someone in Bakersfield has had enough of this asshole.House Minority Leader’s spending at Trump’s properties increased 32,000 percent after Nov. 8, 2016
It's not a huge amount of money compared to a campaign budget, though. This bothers me more on principle. We should have a statute for the emoluments clause applied to domestic interactions, because once again, the president's failure to de-couple himself from his businesses clearly provides the opportunity for abuse and corruption.
A roughly $2 million campaign seems a little light on funding to me, he must have been secure in his re-election. I'mma go check. Yep, he won in 2018 with 64% of the vote. The RNC and PACs wisely spent their money on actual battlegrounds.
Next on our menu, we have the second course: Stephen Miller fillets in a hostile Fox New sauce The first 30 seconds (~7:20 to ~7:50) are long-winded (srry), but omg when Miller begins his reply, NOW THAT'S WHAT I CALL COMEDY [VOL. II] "ChRiS.." (-_-) Actually, Wallace has been fantastic for a few years now. I know he's the token oppo (w/ Shep Smith) but he's actually really good. Do you think he has friends around the office? Like, maybe they think he's doing a shtick too, and he's a disarmingly nice guy?
Thing is? Chris Wallace is a dyed-in-the-wool conservative partisan. He's about as right as Jon Stewart is left. But he's not willing to say anything, do anything, be anything in order to advance the agenda of whatever Republican is calling the shots. We've just fallen so far that Democrats are cheering on the Lawful Evil the same way they rallied around the Dixie Chicks. Because holy mother of god. The alternative is Stephen Fucking Miller. That said, it is noteworthy that Stephen Fucking Miller went on a softball Sunday morning Fox News show thinking he'd get a softball interview and the best softball Fox News can serve up right now is "respectfully, cut the bullshit." Dollars to donuts, if Stephen Fucking Miller could have come up with some vaguely plausible talking points they would have let him run.
You can tell me not to get excited that there are still some people on the right living in the same reality as us and willing to call out Trump's brazen propagandists, but I'm still going to get excited. Edit: You never said that at all, I just got excited.
