Opinion: Trump cannot keep his corruption hidden forever. Here's what's coming.
Ha! What frigging idiots. Morons. Simpletons. They just laid a trap for Hillary Beast, Billy Boy and Hussein Obama and a whole herd of others, because they are cheering how a judge defined "The court rejected Trump's effort to define "emoluments" very narrowly, and instead accepted the plaintiffs' argument that they constitute "profit," "gain," or "advantage," i.e., the sort of profits that go to Trump's businesses. This means the case now moves forward to determine whether Trump reaped such profit, gain, or advantage from foreign governments." Lets see who did this the most, out in the open, with minimal concealment? Oh, yea, Hillary and Bill and the Clinton Foundation!!!! I am thinking we will be hearing a lot more on this, and it won't be Trump they are talking about.....
OTOH you might sometimes like to have relevant ads. Most of my adds when I use Chrome, which I log in on and do not clean cookies, are for products/services I might actually like.
Yes, and not just in the MSM. I click on lurid articles in the NYT, and the NYT quite reasonably keeps lurid articles near the top of the list to keep my subscription. It's like a unhealthy feedback loop where I crane my neck at a car wreck, and technology is so good it sends me to see several car wrecks since apparently I "want" to look at them.
I agree with having fewer laws and enforcing them strictly.
For the past two years that our discourse has turned into politicians hoping to catch one another breaking the law by accident on a technicality.
"we can surely find something to convict you of"
This is what almost everyone who's caught committing a crimes says: they're out to get me.
The fact that President Trump has been saying it so much made me suspect he wanted the attention associated with looking guilty, which suggests to me he isn't guilty. It's like someone who sees a cop and takes off running. It doesn't mean he's guilty. Maybe he wants attention or is just exercising his right to take off running.
This whole idea of helping the “poor” leaves me cold at this point. It’s taken the normal benevolence out of me, I have to admit
If I hire a couple dozen high priced experienced lawyers and investigators, we can surely find something to convict you of. If you've done nothing wrong we can get you to furnish papers and testify and as soon as you make a mistake we will charge you with obstruction.
And you didn't even run for office. Campaign finance laws are so arcane that no one even knows the boundaries. Read "Three Felonies a Day" laws are being written in a vague manner to give prosecutors the ability to determine what is and isn't legal after the fact.
To the extent that it's true that our institutions are politicized, it's a huge problem because having power balanced between two parties only works for partisan issues. For things that both parties are doing, politicizing the issues does not help. That's why even now when one party (Republican) completely dominates the gov't and probably is getting away with stuff, I think it's a facile solution to just get some power to the out-of-power party (Democrats). As ewv said, it's philosophy. A piece of paper can't have teeth. And relying on partisanship is a choice of desperation. So I want a Constitution that smacks us upside the head, which ewv will point out is not possible.
