She wasn't wearing it when she got off the plane, it's probably not as big a deal as it's-

What's that?



The designer of the jacket has been criticized in the past for pro-Nazi imagery in its clothing? Surely it can't be that bad-
“Zara cultivates a worldly and cosmopolitan image, but the company is notorious for selling products featuring racist and anti-Semitic images and messages, including handbags depicting swastikas, children’s pajamas resembling concentration camp uniforms (a product that, after an international outcry, the company said would be ‘exterminated’), necklaces containing figurines in black face, and a T-shirt proclaiming that ‘White Is the New Black,'” the complaint states. [Parentheses in original.]
Did.... Did Stephen Miller pick her wardrobe?

Meanwhile he once again uses this as a smokescreen. This time to deflect an executive order he made to revoke Obama's National Ocean Policy. So now the ocean is once again open to drilling.

His paranoia was entertaining, at least. It's not like we were ever going to get anyone good running any department or agency as long as Trump's still in the White House. I wonder if we'll ever find out just who or what he was afraid of all this time.

We finally have solid evidence that Trump is guilty of tax fraud, but that's not what stood out to me about this article. Buried at the very bottom among a list of white-collar crimes he's conspiring to make unenforceable is this bit:
Trump is making the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, the agency tasked with cracking down on fraudulent credit cards and banking, almost helpless.
So we can worry about identity theft becoming de facto legal now. What the hell is next? Legalizing ransomware? Mugging? Just straight-up turning law enforcement into a protection racket? The man is literally running the country like an organized crime boss.

I'm wondering if there's a single crime he could commit at this point that his followers wouldn't turn a blind eye to. That whole thing about how he could murder someone on 5th avenue in broad daylight and get away with it is probably true.

The cruelty is the point.

Or, besides a pithy link re-using the title, here's the full URL: https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archi ... nt/572104/

TW: historical references to racial violence and lynching, contemporary reference sexual assault (specifically Dr. Ford and her treatment by Trump and the GOP)

tl;dr: To Donald Trump's supporters, cruelty is a bonding activity. It's the latest incarnation of an old American tradition. A support-disqualifying crime would have to be a crime against his supporters. Anything, possibly literally anything, he does to people his supporters don't like will only increase their support of him.

I wonder if that can be said of the entire Republican party at this point, because it certainly seems like Congress is just as willing to stand by everything he says and does. There has been speculation that the Russian hackers dug up some serious blackmail fodder, and if that's true I'm crossing my fingers that it all gets leaked soon.

I wouldn't be surprised, but I don't think they need it. The Tea Party dragged all the old Republican Congressmen along with their demands because they were a big enough chunk of the Republican base, and they supported all the stuff the Republicans said they wanted anyway. Now their base is a seething mob that will agree with literally anything Trump says, so the party makes his whims their new platform.

Lindsey Graham was low on my list of "likely to have a freak-out and start trashing the rape victim publicly," but here we are. Either he wants that AG job, or he's terrified of his voters. Or he agreed with them all long, which... is getting hard to deny these days.

He suggested taking people's guns away without due process a while back and that didn't change their minds either. :pinkieshrug:

The immediate conservative response was, "But they weren't classified e-mails!"

Also, she didn't get the reminders the Administration had been sending out not to do this (because she's not part of the Administration, because that would be nepotism, which is illegal).

So why does she get to participate in the Administration and send/receive e-mails with various important government agencies again?

The claim that Ivanka Trump could not be aware that using a personal e-mail for official government business was a bad idea, after the 2016 election, is laughable to the point of absurdity.

Also Saudi Arabia just announced a week ago they were cutting production to drive the prices up.

It's almost impressive how massively incompetent Trump manages to be.

Jeff Bezos is being targeted by the National Enquirer for asserting that they have dirt on Trump and are keeping it under wraps. Rather than bend over for them, he instead published the entirety of their blackmail threat.

I'm hoping this leads to another huge suit like the one that destroyed Gawker. In part because fuck the National Enquirer and every other publication their parent company owns, but also because I want whatever they know about Trump or anyone else in the government laid bare in the aftermath. Fuck 'em up, Jeff.

I still love the narrative that like 'Gawker died because one billionaire hated us and killed free journalism' and it's like, no, Gawker died because it was really cruel to people and finally was cruel to someone with more power who decided to do something about it.

The Free Press is 100% under siege but the Gawker death is one I still don't feel bad about because they bathed in vicious gossip and proclaimed that it was newsworthy

The editor-in-chief of Christianity Today just put out an editorial openly calling for the President of the US to be thrown out.

More tellingly, they saw fit to tweet the archived editorials about Nixon and Clinton, during their scandals, and the contrast is interesting. Neither outright called for the president to be removed from office; Clinton's was just like "what he did was wrong and an erosion of the public trust" and Nixon's was like "he should stand trial because the system needs to play out; let's not set the precedent that you can just pressure a president to resign whenever you don't like him".
