    Is he dating the Epstein files? The fucking president of the country doesn’t get the luxury of space, he is beholden to the office to answer to the people. What a joke of a country.

      Politicians are public property. Property doesn’t get fucking ‘space’.

      Johnson just let the world know that he sides with child rapists. May the next Saint Crooks have better aim, and start with Johnson

        The guy who shares his porn-browsing history with his adopted son and takes his young teen daughter to purity balls is protecting a kiddie creeper?

        Sounds about right…

    There are a couple Republican threads hyper focused on some “Obama written” Russian files thing. And how Hillary’s emails have only “scratched the surface”.

    No idea. Except it sounds like they’re grasping at straws of distraction. Even so, the Repub people are eating it up.

    I am happy to give him space… in a maximum security prison cell, all alone until the very end.

    Just so we’re clear, he’s completely within his rights — per the landmark 1849 case Cowboys v. Indians, which famously established the “time-outs and tag-backs” precedent.

        Us vs. them is a powerful tool to wield against you. Your neighbors are neither beneath you nor immovable, and nobody should stretch beyond your compassion. We live among the ghosts of ourselves, and some of those parts are bleeding and tangled in wire. It takes precision, patience, and gentleness to free those parts without nipping the skin.

    Trump needs a kick to the balls, that’s what he needs. And then another one, until everyone on earth had the opportunity.

    He’s the president. He doesn’t get space. Ever.

    That’s literally the job of the president. It’s not luxury. It’s work.

    But this jackass in the oval office has never worked a day in his entire fucking life and doesn’t understand that concept.

      Even if he does get space: it’s not the job of the speaker of the fucking house to give him space from investigations. The house is supposed to investigate!

      If you add up all the work he’s done throughout his whole life, it might add up to about a day.

    The more he runs away from this the more likely that nobody will believe whatever explanation he lands on to dismiss it. Even if there really isn’t a list, and he really isn’t on it, and they present some evidence that proves it conclusively, there’s zero shot anyone will believe it.

    The conspiracy vibes are so strong that even reality couldn’t kill them.

    Actually, Michael, what he needs is to be fully outed as one of the pedos his base so vehemently abhors.

    Here I am, regularly feeling guilty about whether maybe I accidentally insulted someone with my autism, while people like these lie openly, constantly and with impunity. A conscience really is a goddamn hindrance in this world rather than a net positive.

      Sort of. People without a conscience and without the power, privilege and/or social tools to abuse that often also end up pretty badly. Like how narcissism can lead both to (unwanted) social isolation, or even prison time, and then also sometimes to a successful business/political career or creating your own adoring cult, depending on other factors, both intrinsic and extrinsic to the person.

      I’d say the lack of a conscience is the real hindrance. If more people cared about the consequences of their actions, we’d be in a better place. It’s just a shame so many psychopaths are able to flourish.
