To adapt one of Trump's favorite stories, she knew he was a snake when she married him. It took her 12 years and five kids to have second thoughts? No sympathy here.

Well, I might have some sympathy for the kids. On the other hand, perhaps a divorce which at least partly isolates them from the toxicity of the Trump clan might be beneficial for them in the long term.

And hopefully Trump Jr. will end up in jail so that they won't have to worry about custody rights.

Two more possibilities:

- Trump is unable to retain memories and judges everything as if it was the first time he heard about it
- Trump is unable to make any moral judgement, period

There is another option, one which maybe requires more nuance than Trump has.

A program may do good work no matter who donates to it. A foundation may donate to such a program while also siphoning money to Clinton's friends or the Clintons. The good work by the program is still good.

Like I said, such nuance is likely beyond Trump, but there is no real reason that someone who thinks that the Clinton Foundation is corrupt should be compelled to conclude that every organization to which they donate is worthless.

ETA: Just to be clear, I don't have any reason to believe the Clinton Foundation is corrupt.

That's why they call him Fredo.

It was people in the Trump White House who gave him that name after he blurted out about the Russian Meeting, much like Fredo Corleone blurted out that he was pals With Johnny Ola in Godfather 2.

Good luck with that.
I still am amazed that the head of that group would brag publically about what he did.

This is the morality gap that we've created. Functional / normal intelligence sociopaths elevate through the modern corporate system quite nicely; their community is incomprehensible to people with consciences.

Meanwhile in Hollywood, a TV show producer boasted about how he sexually assaults women. Getting away with felonies against normals is a source of pride for this type of neuroatypical.
 
Well, at least Melania has a hobby...

From: http://time.com/5206742/melania-trump-forum-cyberbullying/
Melania Trump is hosting executives from major online and social media companies to discuss cyberbullying and internet safety
...
Mrs. Trump announced in a speech near the end of the 2016 presidential campaign that her priority as first lady would be to fight cyberbullying. A native of Slovenia, she at the time lamented a U.S. culture that she said had grown “too mean and too rough.” It was a curious speech for a woman whose husband uses Twitter to dismiss people as losers and taunt them with unflattering nicknames.

Sad that such a noble idea such as stopping cyberbulling has to be undertaken by someone who's family revels in it. She can't even stop her husband... what is she going to tell all these computer companies? "Do as I say, not as I do"?

Problem is in the case of the CA guy is it was so STUPID.
The whole success of the company was based on keeping a low profile, flying under the radar. Now he exposed it to massive scrutiny, and it's likely it won't survive.

There is a reason this has been called "Stupid Watergate"

Hard to say. In this corporate environment, it could be free advertising.

I mean, maybe they'll have to rebrand or something, get a new logo or whatever, but I expect their careers are safe.

Accenture was Arthur Andersen, what was left of it.

Correct, sorry, Arthur Anderson.

From where I work (a Canadian telco) it only ended up in them swapping out a few execs. Their management contracts did not take a hit that I could see.
 
Andersen not Anderson :mad:

But yes, the consultancy split off in 1988 between me getting a job offer and starting work.
 
Wow, the Russian whore just congratulated his john for an election victory. I'm sure the announcement of the meeting was to ensure Trump will have an opportunity to congratulate Putin on bended knee.

Some media are referring to him as a whistleblower. The narrative is he had no idea just what he was getting into when Cambridge Analytics and Steve Bannon got together to discuss business. Overall it appears this man is no fan of Trump--at one time he worked for the Liberals in Canada.
