Sickophants

Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

I read a couple days ago that CBS is going to hire Mick Mulvaney as a paid contributor. It would appear that CBS is angling for the portion of the audience that longs to gush in awe over lies and bullshit. Mick is as bad as Peter Navarro; neither of them have ever been right about anything or told the truth about anything. Bottom line: anyone looking for real time BS can see it on CBS ("see bs" being the operative phrase for the new endeavor).

I did like it when trump kicked Mick out of the oval office for coughing during an interview taping. He treated Mick like a bitch.

"A CBS News executive told staff that the network was hiring more Republicans as analysts because he believed there was likely to be a Democratic "wipeout" in the 2022 midterm elections, The Washington Post reported, citing a leaked recording it obtained.

The remarks by CBS News co-president Neeraj Khemlani earlier this month came just before the news that the network had hired Mick Mulvaney, who briefly served as former President Donald Trump's chief of staff, as an analyst."

"Trump aide Mick Mulvaney, who's been accused of pushing misinformation."
Trump: “We had the safest border in the history of our country - or at least recorded history. I guess maybe a thousand years ago it was even better.”

Yeah, well, if they're gonna hire him, they should hire me as a counterweight. I may have to suggest this to them. Launch stomping and fish slapping nationwide.

CBS News staff 'embarrassed,' 'baffled' by Mick Mulvaney hire, but executive reportedly wants GOP 'access'

CBS News introduced Mick Mulvaney, former President Donald Trump's one-time acting chief of staff and Office of Management and Budget director, as its newest contributor on Tuesday, and the reaction from CBS News employees was "chilly," The Washington Post reported Wednesday. Mulvaney, along with promoting several of Trump's false or fact-free claims, also has a history of "bashing the press," the Post notes.

During his tenure as Trump's acting chief of staff, Mulvaney famously defended Trump's withholding of military aid to Ukraine, saying the U.S. does quid pro quos "all the time," and was described in impeachment testimony as a key player in Trump's scheme to link Ukraine military aide to political favors. "I am not part of whatever drug deal [Ambassador Gordon] Sondland and Mulvaney are cooking up," Trump's national security adviser at the time, John Bolton, reportedly told aide Fiona Hill.

"I know everyone I talked to today was embarrassed about the hiring," mostly due to Mulvaney's history of inaccurate comments, one CBS News employee told the Post. Another employee said "everyone is baffled" by the hire....

If I worked there I'd watch for Mick to come in and try to trip him or at least spill something on him. He's a first order weasel.

Speaking of :crazy: :crazy: :
Ted Cruz Mocked Republicans Who Suck Up To Trump And People's Irony Meters Exploded
The Texas Republican talked about GOP candidates having Trump tattooed on their rear ends and got some blunt reminders in response.


Uh, Teddy? We got receipts.

There is a full mini-series of video of this asshat kissing up to Trump. This guy is the worst human. Pure garbage.

Nutjob.

Discovery should be a bunch of fun if it even makes it that far.

IIRC, he accepted a pardon which is an admission of guilt.




Curiosity got the better of me. Not exactly a high powered law firm.

We may not live long enough to see this case settled.

It's murky.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_p ... _recipient
... According to Associate Justice Joseph McKenna, writing the majority opinion in the U.S. Supreme Court case Burdick v. United States, a pardon "an imputation of guilt and acceptance of a confession of it[.]" Federal courts have yet to make it clear how this logic applies to persons who are deceased (such as Henry Ossian Flipper, who was pardoned by Bill Clinton), those who are relieved from penalties as a result of general amnesties, and those whose punishments are relieved via a commutation of sentence (which cannot be rejected in any sense of the language). Brian Kalt, a law professor at Michigan State University, states that presidents sometimes (albeit rarely) grant pardons on the basis of innocence, and argues that if a president issues a pardon because they think an individual is innocent, then accepting that pardon would not be an admission of guilt.
Putin's Agent Orange probably said that Pizzagate Flynn was innocent, whether or not he actually believed it.
