Anyone else having a good day today? It's supposed to be tax day but the internet is too inviting. I found this joke twitter account and had an awesome day. https://twitter.com/ffvii_blazed

If you can imagine a bunch of fumbling stoners in place of FF7 characters then you need to start reading this account from the beginning (bottom) right now, especially to the Shinra HQ stairs climbing sequence. Some peak twitter art right here

Also for those who haven't seen it there's now a great homage to SomethingAwful's most famous joke and it makes my sides hurt in a way that few things have since the original came out a million years ago

The only possible chance Trump has right now is to pardon Cohen, and if there is anything incriminating about Trump in the documents that were seized, then that is obstruction of justice. Furthermore, NY state is trying to get rid of the double jeopardy clause that currently prevents people from being prosecuted for the charges in federal and state court. You'd think "oh god that means they could get off!" but keep in mind that if these guys have committed more than one crime, then federal prosecutors can leave meat on the bone for state-level charges if necessary.

Trump is, if not totally hosed, getting really close. Unless he's clean and hasn't actually done anything wrong. lol

LifeSunDeath posted:

Lol indeed. What I've learned from all the podcasts and articles analyzing trump is that real-estate business is 100% money laundering, and doing any work with Russians involves them having insurance on you by way of kompromat. While the piss tape is hilarious, I imagine they have way worse on trump since they allowed him to become president.

The other think about Trump pardoning Cohen is that it is an implicit admission of guilt. If pardoned, Cohen can be compelled to testify and cannot plead the fifth.

This is your periodic reminder that when Trump says "witch hunt", he is not referring to innocent individuals being accused of witchcraft by their neighbors or witch hunters. He thinks it means innocent people (himself and his colleagues, natch) being hunted by witches.

Trump said he decided to call into Fox News as a gift to first lady Melania Trump for her birthday. When asked by Fox hosts if he gave Melania anything else besides doing a Fox interview to celebrate her birthday, Trump replied that he “didn’t get her so much… I got her a beautiful card.”

2.) Trump ranted about Senate Democrats obstructing his nominees after Ronny Jackson, his pick to be secretary of Veterans Affairs, withdrew his name. Trump said that Jackson, who has been accused by multiple people of drinking on the job and fostering a toxic work environment, had an “unblemished record.” He also said that “top of the line people” were “leaving their jobs” to come work for his administration, but fumed that Democrats were throwing up roadblocks to their confirmations.

3.) Trump admits he stayed overnight in Moscow during the 2013 Miss Universe pageant. Former FBI Director James Comey alleged in his contemporaneous memos that Trump told him allegations involving him and Russian prostitutes couldn’t possibly be true because he didn’t stay overnight in Moscow during his trip there in 2013. Trump fumed that “of course I stayed in Russia overnight” — although he again denied that there was any collusion between his campaign and the Russian government.

4.) Trump throws his own lawyer, Michael Cohen, under the bus. In the most stunning part of the interview, Trump said that most of Cohen’s work isn’t as an attorney, but as a private businessman. Trump also said he had “nothing” to do with Cohen’s private business interests and claimed that Cohen only performs a “tiny little fraction” of the legal work done on his behalf. These statements could potentially undermine Cohen’s claims that all documents seized in an FBI raid on his office should not be admissible evidence because they fall under attorney-client privilege.

5.) Even Fox News host Brian Kilmeade tells Trump to not watch so much cable news. During a long rant about the “unfair” treatment he receives in the mainstream press, Kilmeade interjected and said, “I’m not your doctor, Mr. President, by I would recommend you watch less of them.” “I don’t watch them at all!” Trump replied, before going into detail about a CNN show that he watched on Wednesday night.

6.) Trump went on a nonsensical rant about the Department of Justice being against him. Trump fumed that the DOJ was not investigating the alleged crimes of his political enemies, which prompted host Steve Doocy to tell him that “It’s your Justice Department!” Trump said that he does not want to get involved with the DOJ because of the Mueller “witch hunt” that’s being conducted against him. He then complained about the Mueller probe.

“I have a phony cloud over my head that doesn’t exist!” the president complained.

During Michael Cohen's investigation, it was discovered that he only had 3 clients (which is why the judge ruled against there being any concerns of attorney-client privilege being violated: he was basically a mob-style "fixer" arranging cover-ups for a few millionaires). Trump was one, and the former deputy financier of the GOP was the second. During this time, Sean Hannity railed against the investigation as a politically-motivated smear and that the FBI was going too far to try and illegally take down Trump.

The third client was revealed to be Sean Hannity shortly after.

chitoryu12 posted:

On the subject of recent Hannity news, he claimed that Cohen only helped him with some real estate advice instead of covering up adultery like he did for his other clients. Some investigation found that Hannity and his shell companies were involved in getting nice deals on property from a guy who got convicted of fraud for rigged property auctions. It's looking more and more likely that Cohen helped Hannity with something a lot more legally dangerous than bribing a hooker.

I too share your anger, friend

I occasionally in the NYT thread read david brooks op-eds, and let me tell you, it's a totally hosed up hollow concept. I think in argument when you can't actually address anything substantive, you object to "it being rudely" or something? That's decorum - the weaselly dodge of poo poo people who can't admit they have nothing

In case you were wondering, beneath that there is emotional outbursts and hysteria, which you can see in the Cleveland Indians "debate" toward the end, or billionaires reacting to Obama in the broadest conceivable sense saying something critical of them as a class

Bad faith reporting and a little filling in between the lines. It's expected from the media because she put the whole media on the defensive at once. Don't worry about it.

Focus on how mindblowing it is that she got invited to *host* the event by the whole mainstream media, supposedly for their benefit, and still used that position and platform to tell them to their faces how irresponsibly they've fed Trump and how they all sold us out for profit. That is powerful and it's amazing that she pulled it off and went through with it.

It seems a lot of you folks need to cheer up today. That's fine and also expected. It's a hosed up world and you'll have bad days. I made this thread precisely because leftists are the most vulnerable population right now to fatigue from the news. To emotional fatigue and depression.

Hearing good news about progress breaks the cycle and can be a whole day's source of motivation. It doesn't have to be brought down by over familiarity with all the bad news. You don't have to feel guilty about tuning in through a filter - it's not putting your head in the sand as some have described this thread. Unlike most Americans, everyone in here is familiar with all the basic facts of current events. Instead that description better suits the 99% of Americans who either are apathetic and don't check, or who use right-wing filters of their own that encourage them to actively contribute to the problem. Plus, there are times when unfiltered news popping up is not even appropriate - if you're out somewhere bored on your phone and just trying to joke on Trump and shitpost for a second it doesn't make sense for there to be a risk of learning a bunch of heavy poo poo right then. Don't feel guilty about demanding to have a good day.

If you're having a bad day, instead of venting to announce it maybe take a breather, escape on over to somewhere like https://twitter.com/dasharez0ne and read the whole thing until you feel better. There's enough content like that on the internet that you can never run out if you just remember to look. Explore the more uplifting musicians on YouTube (I recommend Bird and the Bee and Princess Chelsea as they've got female artists and they use their own software tools to get great results without needing to remind you of the big loud corporate music industry around most youtube stars).
