I happened to watch that episode of Klepper's show the other day and was pleasantly surprised to see him being interviewed.
I remember that day at Kirtland AFB too. It was my birthday when Mango Mussolini decided to go to Rio Rancho and give a speech to his fucking cult followers. The entire base and the city shut down. Highways cleared, chopper support, everything. The one cool thing was that I got to help load the C-17 that had the Beast limos. That was neat.
But Tim Keller is awesome. And since he kinda looks like Erik Eckhart, his Halloween costume every year is Two Face.

Yes...yes you can.
I don't know what is the more disturbing thing on that poster...the 'no coolers'? (In Wisconsin? Are you kidding me?). That 'Sheriff' Clarke still goes by 'Sheriff', even though he hasn't been an actual Sheriff in years? That Diamond and Silk are still a thing?
Or...is it that Dinesh D'Souza has a daughter who's taking over the family business of being a conservative Maga-Grifter? And did you know...according to the Google machine, she's actually got acting credits to her name? And they are all from her being in her father's insane conspiracy theory movies?

Pretty sure "no coolers" is the entire grift here.

Ask Laura Ingraham or Ann Coulter (he dated both of them...not at the same time, I hope)

I'm going to assume several forms of birth control were used to keep things "pure".

In the book, Bender reports that Trump wanted Gen. Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, to take charge of a “scorched-earth military campaign” to squash the protests. In the White House’s Situation Room, Milley reportedly told Trump that he legally couldn’t take charge of the strategy, causing Trump to scream: “I said you’re in fucking charge!” Milley then shouted back: “Well, I’m not in charge!” Trump then bellowed: “You can’t fucking talk to me like that!” An exasperated Milley then appealed to others at the meeting: “Goddamnit... There’s a room full of lawyers here. Will someone inform him of my legal responsibilities?” Then-Attorney General Bill Barr reportedly told Trump that Milley was correct.

I'm a little pessimistic much will come out of this. The hope was Weisselberg would flip when they threatened him and potentially his son with criminal charges. While the media has been going nuts with this, I've heard several former prosecutors saying the charges against Weisselberg could likely carry very minimal sentences, potentially less than a year, and Trump has leverage and could do much worse to him. Unless Trump or his kids are behind bars, the base will chalk this up as a with hunt. Fuck, even if Trump and this kids are all behind bars they will say its proof of a witch hunt. Not sure the base matters anymore, but I do still fear Trump maintains support and runs again in 2024. I'd say it wasn't likely, but the odds of him winning in 2016 were much lower, and I don't put anything past his cult. As for the Trump Org, you can't do much against a corp criminally, and he can probably form a new corporation and get around most of the sanctions.

So, don't prosecute crimes?

Of course they should prosecute this, I'm just tempering expectations. I've seen a lot in the media touting this as finally bringing Trump down, the beginning of the end, Ivanka committed perjury and will be indicted next... Fuck, I'd love for any of that to come true, but I think the result here is likely Weisselberg serving 6 months, and some sanctions against the corporation that Trump weasels his way out of virtually unscathed.

He'll claim ignorance and throw whoever under the bus he needs to throw. Because that's what truly great leaders do: they have no idea what's going on in their companies and people are expendable.

I with Syb on this one. I feel like if you've been investigating Trump and all you are showing so far is that they didn't pay taxes on $1.7MM, then either (a) you did a really shitty investigation, or (b) Trump hid his crimes really, really well. And I don't see (b) being the case because Trump's a fucking moron.

My understanding is that there is a fuckton of easy to identify crimes, but they have to prove state of mind, that Trump KNEW he was violating the law. The problem with Trump is that he doesn't use email, so nothing is in writing, and he uses the mafia speak to avoid showing knowledge. As stupid and transparent as it is, prosecutors can't prove knowledge beyond a reasonable doubt. The prosecutors wanted to scare Weisselberg into providing evidence of Trump's knowledge, but he refused to cave. I hate that so many people show loyalty to Trump when they have to know he has no capacity to loyalty for anyone else. Yet he manages to fool everyone into thinking he will somehow be loyal to them despite his history.

If you had any inkling of the power of weaponized misinformation (and how social media was ripe for exploitation), the bad actors on the cyber warfare front(s), then 2016 was at best a mild surprise...but it should always have been met with a "what took you so long."

I just don't get it. Who the hell in the government, now that we have a better one, is in charge of investigating this? I'll get scrutinized if I'm not getting security briefings going on foreign travel, but yet....
