He is absolutely sure liberalism comes from the trait of trying new stuffs.
So by nature liberals are more innovative and contribute to progress while conservatives mod these new stuffs for reliable use. So conservatives are better administrators.
I cannot emphasise more how wrong this analytics is at least on an individual level.
He doesn't derive these from the "conservative" and "liberal" labels. If you think that, you clearly never heard him talk about it. He bases his conclusion from the Big Five Personality Types.
```So, what’s this case even about? Trump allegedly slept with Stormy Daniels back in 2006. Then Cohen paid Daniels $130,000 to keep quiet, according to Cohen himself. According to Cohen, Trump knew nothing about the payment. The settlement agreement contains pseudonyms for Trump and Daniels, and was funneled through an LLC. This could make Cohen’s payment to Daniels an in-kind contribution to the Trump campaign in violation of campaign finance law. Furthermore, if Trump knew about it, that could constitute criminal conspiracy to violate campaign finance law. Former Democratic presidential candidate and senator, John Edwards, was tried on precisely those grounds; a jury split on five counts and acquitted on a sixth before the DOJ decided to drop the case. ```
```Ironically, Trump could have avoided all of this by merely paying Daniels directly.```
interesting
can somebody who isn't the guardian or reddit explain to me the Trump-russia connection scandal investigation thing? Haven't heard anyone who doesn't have a leftist agenda talk about it. Whats going on? Has anything substantial been found?
It's bullshit
There you go
What the Ape said
Lol i just don't get this whole paranoia over russian bots
Like, even if they are spouting propagandistic half-truths and russian talking points, it doesn't justify banning them outright
on principle
Scape goats
They are trying to find a excuse for their mistakes and lack of competence

Russian press is a rogue player, both sides want them out of their sandbox.
but... but... RT is right wing propaganda... <:think_woke:378717098681171988>
/sarcasm
makes you think
They might be shitting on the left now, but they have no loyalty. Can't have that in America.
dunno, whenever I've seen a political RT story, it looks like a headline the guardian would run
not that i've studied it real intensely or anything

I will put this as bluntly as I know how: There is no way that the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York would have sought or executed a search warrant against the president’s lawyer without overpowering evidence to support the action. The legal standard for such a search requires only probable cause that criminal activity is taking place. Under normal circumstances, which these are not, the prudential and policy factors counseling against such an action would be powerful.
For starters, the Justice Department is institutionally cautious about searches involving attorneys acting in their role as attorneys. As Paul Rosenzweig noted, “the U.S. Attorney’s Manual has an entire section that limits how and when the offices of an attorney may be searched. Realizing full well that such searches are in derogation of the value of the [attorney-client] privilege, the manual requires high-level approvals, the exhaustion of other investigative avenues, and specifies procedures that are to be followed to limit the intrusion on privileged documents.” Moreover, the Justice Department would have been additionally cautious about seeking any warrant against this particular lawyer—precisely because doing so makes clear that a ring is closing around the president. Going after a prominent person’s lawyer for matters related to his representation of the client is, after all, an aggressive act toward the client, not just toward the lawyer. And Trump is, as he puts it, a counterpuncher.
This is the kind of step that would predictably elicit a reaction. The Justice Department simply would not take such an action lightly or without evidence that emphatically supports it. Add these prudential, legal and policy factors together and they cumulatively suggest that the evidence supporting the warrant application likely exceeds—probably by far—what is legally required.
SO impeach Trump and let Pence fight the Syrian World War 3

Pence / Mattis 2018
