Possibly the lolliest of lolbrooks ever to have been lolled.
I can't share this. Other people here might read the article and associate me with it. Great addition to the #lolbrary
Is this guy actually retarded?There were some meetings between Trump officials and some Russians, but so far no more than you’d expect from a campaign that was publicly and proudly pro-Putin. And so far nothing we know of these meetings proves or even indicates collusion.
I have a hard time saying he's wrong, really. As he says, we should figure out what happened, but we shouldn't pretend this is the only terrible thing he's done.Donald Trump rose peddling the politics of scandal — oblivious to policy, spreading insane allegations about birth certificates and other things — so maybe it’s just that he gets swallowed by it. But frankly, on my list of reasons Trump is unfit for the presidency, the Russia-collusion story ranks number 971, well below, for example, the perfectly legal ways he kowtows to thugs and undermines the norms of democratic behavior.
I hate this word. It has no bearing on the 'should' of an act. There are tons of anti-social things that are legal or pseudo-legal because no one will actually prosecute them. Saying something is 'legal' is a non-phrase at this point. There is no cohesive or consistent rationale that makes something legal or illegal, and the actual legality of a given act is completely irrelevant to if it's actually prosecuted, let alone the perpetrator being punished, or given a punishment that fits the crime. The guys who keep wrecking the economy keep getting multi-million dollar bonuses.Legal
I don't think what you said is contrary to what Brooks wrote -- he's saying that these "perfectly legal" things are among the reasons he believes Trump is "unfit for the presidency."
