  1. This is a really effective message that should be accessible to most people. Earlier in the thread I analogized it to how you respond to a child throwing a fit. If you give in, they're going to do it again. Every parents knows this.
  2. That kid's going to get a Whitehouse invite. Guarantee it.
  3. Isn't it suspected that the increasingly frequent destabilization if the polar vortex is due to climate change? Such stupid.
  4. I do not think this is going to go over how Trump and co wanted.
  5. "bipartisan steps." Like shutting down the government for a month, holding dedicated public servants' salaries, critical services, and perhaps the entire economy hostage to get your pet policy project without any comparative analysis of alternatives? Okay. What a joke. This is amateur hour.
  6. Pelosi should tell him to go fuck himself and open the government. Dems are winning. This isn't going to move things an inch.
  7. "this is a common sense compromise...[that I just told you about.]" This is terrible.
  8. Yeah, but she hadn't hear Dotard tell us about coyotes, drugs, crime and raping. 200 miles of wall and its' done.
  9. So the offer is to stop trying to deport DACA recipients and some other brown people in a shitty situation in exchange for $5.7 billion for wall. Good luck with that. I'm going to start planning to hike the Appalachian trail cause I'm not going back to work any time soon. https://www.washingtonpost.com/powerpost/trump-to-make-new-offer-to-democrats-as-government-shutdown-drags-on/2019/01/19/2cde029e-1bf3-11e9-9ebf-c5fed1b7a081_story.html?utm_term=.8be712bb0d1d
  10. They did contact the SCO prepublication and the SCO declined to comment. Another thing making the way this unfolded odd.
  11. Whatever Trump is proposing today came out of that meeting. I think that's been reported.
  12. I can't pull the link at the moment but the nytimes story cites a source familiar with Cohens testimony saying that Trump did not pressure Cohen to lie. I'm betting that source is Cohen, who can't say it publicly because of agreement with SCO.
  13. I don't know. No one else is making my suggestion so maybe not. That statement was probably edited and worked on by no less than 5 lawyers including Mueller himself. It was carefully crafted to leave open the possibility that the main point of the story is true. Anyway, we'll know Feb 7.
  14. Hell of a drug. Actually, I think he's just 17.
  15. Yes but why couldn't Whitaker have demanded they issue a statement? And then Mueller begrudgingly issues the narrow statement he did?
  16. Everyone is drawing significance from the fact Mueller issued a statement, even though it was narrow and did not dispute the thrust of the story. What if Whitaker directed them to issue a statement? That would explain a lot,. especially why Mueller would break his silence now.
  17. Ya know, the question of "why issue a statement?" We're all assuming Mueller thought it was necessary to issue a statement. What if Whitaker directed it? That would explain why issue a narrow statement at all if the story was largely true. Trump is fucked.
  18. My guess is SCO saw this story getting out of hand and wanted to punish the SDNY leakers. It was a narrow statement but enough to make BF and the leakers look bad. And take some pressure off.
  19. Here's the meat of the Buzzfeed story to consider which specific statements and characterizations are not accurate: Now the two sources have told BuzzFeed News that Cohen also told the special counsel that after the election, the president personally instructed him to lie — by claiming that negotiations ended months earlier than they actually did — in order to obscure Trump’s involvement The special counsel’s office learned about Trump’s directive for Cohen to lie to Congress through interviews with multiple witnesses from the Trump Organization and internal company emails, text messages, and a cache of other documents. Cohen then acknowledged those instructions during his interviews with that office.
