Most life insurance policies won't pay out in case of suicide for two years. He probably had this policy for years, was having a hard time paying large premium on it, was sick, and decided to cash out. He didn't want the policy to lapse.

Not related to this but I was actually talking to someone about this yesterday and maybe you can provide the answer: How do life insurance companies treat an "accidental drug overdose"? Depending on the answer, that would seem to be the way to go if you wanna kill yourself but are worried about the life insurance.

Well when you're a spoiled, billionaire megalomaniac piece of **** who thinks he knows everything but is actually a complete moron, the only lawyers you can get are alcoholics.

 

Also applies to GMs for your football team.

Is alcoholic a slur now? 

I really hope he gets the help he needs for the alcoholism. At his age, he's really playing with his life at this point. I'm sure it's hitting his family extremely hard and they don't deserve that.

Follow the thread....

Great example of why I think ****ing with and talking **** to public faces on social media is the pinnacle of the digital age. It can't be stupid hateful trolling of innocent people. Then you're the asshole/bad guy,  they're just rolling their eyes at you and everyone else rightfully hates you. It has to be aimed at the legitimately corrupt, your game has to be logical and make sense and it has to hit them where it hurts. You do that and they end up making asses out of themselves. It's the digital age equivalent of some poor downtrodden serf throwing an egg at a corrupt baron and either making everyone laugh at him or making him overreact and solidifying the opposition to him. Old people have a hard time getting this but I'm telling you it's the single great thing social media has contributed to civilization.

Also says he wont't remove sanctions on Russia without getting something in return.

 

 

 

This is the smoking gun really. In my opinion. I mean there are no innocent explanations for his actions RE Russian sanctions. 

But anyway what makes more sense: building a new wing at Gitmo or remodeling and reopening Alcatraz? 

So I just happened to be reading something about the internment of Japanese Americans during WW2 (and other harsh measures taken during WW1 and Red Scare hysterias) and I got to thinking about how we would have handled all of this during the first half of the 20th Century, during less-civilized times (times Trumpers claim to want to emulate, ironically enough). Would we deport non-native Trumpers like that Hungarian Nazi **** Sebastian Gorka? What about the native born? Build 'em camps in the desert somewhere? I wonder how Wilson or either of the Roosevelt's would've handled it?

Forgive me. I always try to make Thursdays my happy-thoughts day. 

No half of the country didn't still approve of Nixon when he resigned. He had a 25% base bottom and that was it.  Don't listen to Kellyann... Sorry I mean twa's "memory" and cherry-picked poll outliers. 

Quote

Nixon’s approval rating by the time he left office was at 24 percent, down from 67 percent at the time of his second inauguration. After July 1973 — when Nixon refused to turn over to the Senate investigation tape-recorded conversations from the Oval Office — his approval rating was never again above 38 percent.

They had no reason to think America was foolish enough to elect trump. Which begs the question of why they needed to set lying Donny up if they were confident in their eventual win. 

 

But stil, they waited 8 months for the chance that this elaborate setup would be revealed? 

 

Its just full of holes

Well i mean it is the party that faked millions upon millions of votes but forgot to fake 80k needed to win in the important states. And the party that murdered an aide for leaking and then forgot to take his wallet to make it look like a robbery. Ooh and the party that assassinated a Supreme Court Justice but didn't take off the pillow they put over his head. The party that rapes little kids but does it in the basement of a popular pizzeria on a first street and then leaves clues for everyone to decipher and catch them. The party that murdered 20 kindergarteners to ban guns and then forgot to ban the guns. 

I can go all day with this. Feel free to add your favorites. 

Republicanism needs to be listed in the DSM-5

Eat **** and die ****. You are the most vile creature to crawl out if this "swamp"  in my lifetime. 

The Republican Party in the 21st Century folks

I love their spin that the DNC was colluding with Ukraine (non-adversary) and it's same thing. That collusion? People from Ukraine warning Democrats that Manafort was a Putin mole.

Isn't that like saying I'm a violent person because I punched you in the face when you pulled a gun on me so neither of us should be arrested? Am I wrong about that? 

That's all they have. Deflection and gaslighting (a term i never see used in here but should be.) It's beyond annoying. And any layperson knowingly carrying water for them should really be ashamed of themselves. 

Just to rant a little...

What does it say that the party that sought impeachment over not getting a straight answer to "Did you have sexual relations with that woman?" has no qualms with not getting a straight answer to "Did you commit treason?"

To me that's the Republican Party in a nutshell. And I just can't bring myself to respect anyone who's down with such a blatant, obvious and un-American absurdity. And really why should I? They obviously have no respect (or love) for the rest of us. No problem selling us out. Hell they have no respect for themselves. The rank and file anyway. I really think they need some kind of counseling. 

And all this is before we even get to the anti-science, anti-education, anti-diversity, anti-women, anti-poor people, so and so forth,  elements. I'll accept those as political issues. But this **** here, with Russia, this is beyond politics. This is a matter of patriotism. 

Why anyone who truly loves this country should want this **** show to end and these clowns out of the White House ASAP.

I'm a bit surprised that this latest thing with Junior was, if I'm hearing right, apparently NOT known about by Robert Mueller's special counsel group until the New York Times broke the story. Did I imagine that, or is that true?

I saw the same thing somewhere. Don't remember where. I find that hard to believe though. And the fact that it isn't a bigger story tells me it's probably bull****.

Anyway say it is true, Mueller is still hiring people. He's just starting. His investigation is gonna take a minute. No one's Time Cop-ing the meetings and colluding. I'm not worried.

There wer like two of them in this thread just a week ago. I would have @ them if I could remember the screen names. 

@EBozis one. 

Then there's my favorite Bernie Butthurter and Russian pawn. I doubt anyone wants to read his whining though. 

There's one more but I can't remember it.

He's the sacrifice. They likely won't defend him, they'll be given marching orders to hang him out to dry and hope it satisfies everything. ('course they will likely go the "he's a poor naive kid" route..but denial. I doubt.)

Trump is going to let his kid go to prison for him, I'd bet.

I think you're right. That that's how they're going to try to play this. Even though Kush and Manafort were there as well. They're going to act like it stopped at Jr. Investigators need to find the 18 1/2 minute gap in the tape that connects him to all of this.

I think people cracking and flipping on him can provide that. My only concern is his pardoning powers. Why are people going to flip on him if he can just pardon them if they don't? 

When this is all over we really need to explore the Presidents pardoning power and potentially make some adjustments.

I've never hated the sight of another person's face like I do his. Even his little twitter thumbnail disgusts me. His stupid go-hard smug look. Fake ass cotton candy hair weave. Phoney orange tan. He's the villain in any movie I want to watch.

Im surprised we dont have anyone in here defending this yet. Its been, like, two days already. 

I posted the story yesterday that the pro-Trump media is in a state of confusion, with their defenses contradicting one one another. That needs to get cleared up first.

Krauthammer is an old school Neo-Con but he knows his stuff. I'm glad to see that he's not shoveling Trump's BS for him on this. 

 

We said all along that there were too many coincidences, too many paid Russian agents, too much direct and indirect Russian involvement for this all to be coincidence. 

Now we know that two of Trump's most senior advisors took a meeting where they believed they would receive information about Clinton from the Russian government who was actively working to get Trump elected...oh and Trump Jr was there too.

That's what's annoyed me the most. The denial. The wilful ignorance. It looked like a duck, it quacked like a duck, it flew like a duck, it tasted like a duck...guys I think it's a duck.

"Where's the body?!? Where's the body?!? It might've been a puppy!!!"

New one for me. Most fitting I think.

Falling on his sword!

Wonder if Kushner will follow suit.

What about Manafort...the campaign CHAIRPERSON at the time. I wonder if they thought thay this attempt to collude with the Russian government was noteable enough to warrant a discussion with Trump....since Don Jr, Kushner AND Manafort ALL attended.

The people who attended this meeting represented about half of Trump's inner circle.

Hell Kushner is the one who leaked all this stuff. That's the one thing I can't figure out. What exactly his play is.

But yeah, no way is he falling on his sword. Ditto Manafort. There's just no way we don't eventually get to the bottom of this. Too many self-serving assholes involved for honor and loyalty to win out. 

Say Trump finally fires Mueller next week. What are the odds Republicans finally open up impeachment proceedings? 

If anyone feels like feeling nauseous... 

I really wanna meet Mike Cernovich. 

Besides twa, I'm more wondering how my favorite Bernie Butthurter is reacting to the news. Wonder if he's ready to accept his role as a Russian pawn.

Who is Bill O'Reilly? The name sounds vaguely familiar.

For the past month or so, Howard Stern has been playing the podcast that O'Reilly is now doing and just ripping him over it. It literally sounds like something a teenager puts together in his parents basement. ****ty production and everything. And O'Reilly continues to cry about how unfair it all is, that he can't talk but it's all going to come out "soon". It's great. Oh how the mighty have fallen. 

Speaking of Stern, I pray to God this happens... 

Harvey Fierstein to play Ailes. 

If it does happen it'll be my first time seeing a play on Broadway. No way I'm missing that.
