    He has a fundamental misunderstanding of the role of immunity in the investigative and prosecutorial process. He's been told as much and still doesn't get it. zork is the most confounding poster on the boards because after years I still haven't figured out if he's playing games or if he really is as naive as he portrays himself to be.

    I am convinced he's just a moron.

  2. The margins are small.  When someone costs you money because they can't keep they're mouth shut, it's going to piss people off.  Farmers can't vote against the weather for ruining their crop, but they can do something about Trump after he takes money out of their pockets for absolutely no good reason.  The pointlessness of it all is what is going to upset people the most.

  3. Usually I would agree, but it won't work this time.  Everyone told him the tariffs were a bad idea.  He created a problem that will cost people money.  He won't weasel out of it.

  4. He will be ok with Nebraska republicans once the tariffs start fucking midwest farmers in earnest.  It is the one thing Trump can't blame Obama for that is also going to directly hurt a large chunk of his base.

  5. I found out you can't use any android-based devices to get around region or blackout restrictions.  They have a location services feature that can't be disabled.  So no Amazon fire stick/tv, chromebooks, etc.  Luckily I found out about it before I ordered a fire tv.  I'm gonna get a Roku instead.

  6. Something to know about the Fire stick and tv is that you can't use them if you need to get around region or blackout restrictions.  They are android based and have a location services feature that can't be turned off.  I found this out when I was researching how to watch Astros' game on MLB.TV in Texas.

  7. Hadn't seen it mentioned yet, but CNN is saying Putin arrived to the meeting 40 minutes late.  In his defense, I'm sure he's got lots of polonium assassinations to approve right now.

  8. Rand Paul has only taken $104,000 from the NRA best I can tell.  That puts him well down the list of Republicans they've donated to.  The top 2 surprised me.  They are McCain and Richard Burr.  McCain has taken over 7 million in his career and Burr just under that.  The biggest Trumpkin on the list is Tom Cotton.

    This isn't an indictment.  The document itself is an affidavit in support of a complaint, which is also a document charging a criminal offense.  The difference between a complaint and an indictment is that an indictment has been returned by a grand jury.

    Complaints are usually filed to support an arrest warrant on the crime charged, with an indictment to follow later.  It's usually done when there isn't time to secure an indictment and an immediate arrest is desireable, as in the person in question is about to leave the country.

    Also, this does not appear to have issued from the Office of the Special Counsel, ie Mueller, but rather from the Counterintelligence Division of the FBI and the DC USA.

    I would be shocked if Mueller's team didn't give them the info.
