Why weren't these people saying things BEFORE this all blew up? Why?!?!?!!???
Because they’re complicit, and at the time they thought they’d get away with it
Because they were hoping to get away with it and be on the side of the jackboot instead of failing and having to deal with the consequences of their actions.
Because the alternative is going to jail for the crimes Trump ordered them to commit.
Facing consequences will do this to people.
Is this a real question? Seriously?
Just a reminder that Ty Cobb (along with John Dowd) is the absolute genius who decided to have lunch at a restaurant directly next door to the New York Times Washington bureau and loudly discuss strategy on how much to (not) cooperate with the then-ongoing Russia investigation into the Trump White House ... while a New York Times reporter happened to be having lunch at the very next table.
I've actually met and somewhat know this guy. All his one-on-one discussions are loud af and he's the kind of guy that blurts out comments during presentations, to the point where it became a bit of a joke to those around. Seems like a decent guy for what it's worth though
and all you cunts played right along, didn't you
Pepperidge Farm remembers
Ty Cobb, huh? I wonder what his parents think of black people.
It's disappointing that Sandy Claws worked for Trump.
Who knew Tommy Chong was trump’s lawyer?
I'm sorry but in all honesty who gives a shit at this point? What is this whole drawn out process going to tell anyone that they didn't already know or instinctually feel? Who's genuinely going to be swayed in one direction or another? Every Trump post is essentially redundant at this point and frankly has been for years. Same as every Hunter post. What new thing are you going to learn from this?
The world wasn't broken all at once. It was broken slowly, methodically, by repeating falsehoods often enough that people believed them to be true. We'll have to tell people the truth the same way: persistently.
