Would not be surprised if he's a literal shill, a la Stein, given that kind of spin.

I mean Putin doesn't kill them with his own hands! Clearly not a murderer.
YT continues to be garbage.
I don't understand this at all. So what is he trying to say? That the Kremlin hasn't been involved in violently silencing dissenting press for well over a decade? What's the basis of such an argument?
When someone's defending Saddam and Gaddafi, you're already at a losing argument.

Jr. is on to a new story
See, he tried to collude with the russians but it didn't work.
Everything's fine.

Don't confirm the story you moron!
I swear to god, we elected the dumbest family on the planet to it's highest office.
The dems tried to trick me into colluding, but it didn't work because they didn't have enough to satisfy me.

If I were Trump's lawyers I'd be worried about malpractice.
What a stupid, self-incriminating press release by Jr.

Do we think a lawyer went over that or Junior was freelancing? In terms of style it seems very lawyerly, but content wise it seems absurd.
I rewatched arrested development as a way to celebrate its new season announcement and I really expect a moment where the Trump family is gonna be like
Seriously I really do not understand what the hell they are doing. Has all the time just basically using money to win trials (by making it so long that the other party is unable to pay / doesnt see it viable) affected their way of thinking?!?!

Like I said, if any lawyer advised to issue that statement he or she committed malpractice.
What's more likely is that the lawyer reviewed it, proofread and edited it, advised against releasing it, and then Jr. did it anyway because he's a fucking moron. If I were that lawyer I'd be covering my tracks like a mug.
If I were Trump's lawyer I would have quit ages ago. No amount of money is worth dealing with their dumbass shit.
As a lawyer, legal malpractice is nearly impossible to prove and requires far more than this. This isn't at issue.

So what will Trump do? Is Junior going under the bus? He'd be really shitty to defend Flynn but leave his own son to the wolves.
As I said in OT, they need to go after the family and associates.

They're going to keep lying and nothing is going to happen until the investigations conclude?

Trump's lawyers must be screaming right now.
Strongly disagree. Really think this story isn't going to change anything until the investigations conclude.
I mean, what do you think will happen?
"Believe me, I don't really know him. I doubt I'd recognize him in a room full of people, to be honest with you."
Trump Laywers: "Yep. Yeah... We'll meet in the morning and come up with a statement and get ahead of this whole mess. Don't even worry about this. You guys have nothing to worry about right? Alright... see you then."

And if I dug through your post history, I'd probably find that you said the same thing before the Flynn firing and Mueller appointment. You think nothing will happen. We get it. Only now you can say, "Well, maybe something will happen, but we should wait for Mueller's conclusions." Same shit, different toilet, if you'll pardon the coarse expression.
Do I think the house will crumble because of this particular story? No, it will likely be another incremental step toward the conclusion. I merely asked how Trump will handle his son being implicated, and as the progressively worse statements from last night and today show, they've begun scrambling to cover this. They'll lie, but they have to say something about Don Jr.
Of course, you jumped on that relatively narrow question to spread your tired, pessimistic "Nothing will happen" bullshit again.
I actually never said that and have never been part of the "nothing will happen crew" so NOPE there, but feel free to dig away.
Here - what is there for Trump to handle for his son? Does he have any official, government position?
The Trump family certainly has the over-inflated egos of people who think they could represent themselves in court.

No, but he has now been implicated in the Russia business, thereby calling into question Trump's claim of having no knowledge of his inner circle's meetings with Russia. He couldn't have avoided knowing about his own son's shady business. The plausible deniability gets weaker and weaker.
Agreed, totally.
But - they're not going to act on reports like this. The investigations need to opine here, imo, for any substantive change to take place.
He's completely correct w/r/t Saddam and Gadaffi. Using the real atrocities committed by these individuals to justify further oppression under the stars and stripes is completely unacceptable, and much of the American media is culpable.
Saddam Hussein massacred ethnic minorities, led his country into the lengthiest war of the 20th century, and suppressed all democratic organizing in Iraq. Yet somehow, US policy managed to make the lives of Iraqis even worse.

I was responding to this. My response remains the same - Trump isn't gonna do anything, including throwing his son under the bus.
Its a narrow question, and I'm responding by saying that nothing will happen, until the investigations conclude.
These people don't care and aren't rational actors. They're just going to keep lying and screaming fake news until that no longer works.

Why even tweet that garbage about Putin? What does it accomplish? Putin killing journalists is relevant information, especially as we see Putin and Russia's approval numbers go up among republican voters. They think because they helped get a republican in the white house that Russia is our friend, that's dangerous as fuck.
Thats why i stopped watching TYT, they care more about shitting on democrats and the liberal media than anything else.

I think it's okay to say that Putin's regime murders journalists and also say that US turns a blind eye to many atrocities. Pressure them to report on the latter, but not at the expense of the former.
Wait, what's reductive about the assassination of dissidents?

I thought her former boss already bent over to shat any dignity he had all over the American people when he phone banked for Trump?

omg. Throwback to my favorite post in that thread:

I'm saying she's a holdover and part of the Republicans that are willing to torpedo Trump at any opportunity. Not once did she say anything supportive of him during the entire general election.
