Out there in the open, for sure. Remember this example, from a televised presidential debate viewed by millions of people?
“There is something he is hiding,” Clinton said of Trump during the debate.
“Or maybe he doesn’t want the American people, all of you watching tonight, to know that he’s paid nothing in federal taxes, because the only years that anybody’s ever seen were a couple of years when he had to turn them over to state authorities when he was trying to get a casino license, and they showed he didn’t pay any federal income tax,” she said.
reninds me of a story.fox sees a bunch of ducks. starts acting crazy in front of them,,at a safe distance. the crazier he acts the more the ducks look at him. meanwhile his mate has quietly come up behind them, not at a safe distance. duck for dinner.
thing about trump is that while we are watching him act crazy, he, his friends, are doing real evil, real damage out of sight, and the journalists never notice. as far as i can tell his real purpose is the evil itself, for evil's sake.
The Supreme Court, even in their abject spinelessness, did make a distinction between acts performed as part of a President's responsibilities and those that were not part of his official duties. Karoline Leavitt made a great point of saying that the dinner for crypto purchasers was not an abuse of the White House because Trump was doing it on his own time. There you go, guys, there's the chink in the armor.
I hadn't considered that the media are using a political versus criminal point of view. I am not sure changing that viewpoint would accomplish much other than having certain media banned from WH, now a badge of honor, and sued.
Shouldn't they be asking: "What did you give them for that airplane?" And then finding out? That's journalism. The other is pretense.
A fascinating and lucid insight.
Be worried. Be very worried.

“That makes me smart,” Trump said.

Truth.
The problem with this excellent (as always) writing is that each and every time I get more depressed than I was to start. And it comes in the morning
