You’re sure it’s not just projection (again)?
Winner.
Under the direction of Hillary.
But, yeah: classified information could put more dollars into the Trump family coffers than could sale of portraits of Presidents, if it’s the right kind of classified information:
It’s been widely speculated that US intelligence agencies have worked very hard to limit what Trump–and more importantly, Jared–see. So perhaps they haven’t been able to make as much dough off the intel as they’d originally hoped.
Much that is unknown now, may eventually become at least partly known—assuming we escape the dictatorship and see the Trump regime members safely tied up in courtrooms across the land.
Can somebody explain to me what Lindsey Graham means when he says that black and immigrants can only travel around South Carolina if they’re conservatives?
I was more concerned about Trump and his co-conspirators destroying evidence. A fire would be real convenient.
True. It’s so obvious a play for them that I’d expect the betting sites to be taking wagers on it. (I suppose the sites would have to be very careful in their wording, though, to avoid unwelcome Bureau attention.)
I don’t have the quote but I think it referred to “going places” in one’s career, rather than to limitations of actual physical travel.
eta:
I still am seeing career advice there–specifically ‘work in government’ advice.
But who knows what the COVID-19 may be doing to Lindsey’s brain…
It looks like Pennsylvania Republicans have given up on the scheme to concoct some sort of excuse to declare victory for Trump regardless of the actual vote:
On a more fundamental level, the “appoint our electors no matter who wins” ploy to overturn the election is running into the fact that it’s looking increasingly likely that at least three or four states would all have to flip their electors to change the outcome, leaving any politician who actually makes a move in that direction at risk of accomplishing nothing but pissing off the state’s voters.
Thank the good Lord! That one actually had me a little scared.
“If he only had a brain…”
To me, this was always the rather large fly in that ointment. Actively going against the wishes of the voters does not bode well for the political career of the dumbass politician who goes along with it.
Which isn’t to say there aren’t enough dumbass Republicans out there to indulge in the overheated fantasy of doing it. @Trinopus and I shared the same unease.
Lindsey has a brain. What he lacks is courage.
And a heart.
IOW, get your black ass out of this red state.
But he has the nerve.
US intelligence agencies are limited in what they can withhold from the president. He can see what he wants to see.
They don’t have to tell him about things he doesn’t know, but that’s riding a fine line.
Foreign intelligence, however, is under no obligation to share what they know with us. And, knowing that any intel they share with us is compromised by Trump, they have pulled back substantially in what they share, leaving us blind to a great deal of what is going on in the world.
Speaking of Lindsey Graham, the Lincoln Project has a hilarious new ad out skewering him.
All we need is one daring individual to change Trump’s password to all lowercase. He’d never think of trying his name without all caps.
That, or ‘learn your place and keep to your place’—presumably of fetching coffee and donuts for your GOP superiors, while being suitably deferential.
Lindsey was pretty clear on the fact, as he sees it, that “African Americans” and “immigrants” are free to genuflect to white conservatives, but not free to express any ideas that might annoy white conservatives.
Same as it ever was.
Yes. All those making excuses for Trump, while having any remote idea of what’s going on the world,* have to be doing some major self-deluding. There is no question at all that the USA is far weaker and far less able to deal with threats, than was the case in 2016.

*admittedly the majority of those making excuses for Trump have NO idea what’s going on in the world. But there are some who realize how he’s weakened us, yet still defend him. There’s some fancy double-think going on, there.
