Could this be a play to get the case put in front of a Trump appointee?

I think it’s just another entitled guy who thinks consequences are for other people. He broke his plea agreement by not cooperating & was just recommended for some prison time by the prosecutor.

Steve Bannon is many things – dumb is not one of them. Thom Hartmann’s analysis here is really interesting.

Press movement may be restricted during the impeachment trial. These are restrictions relative to the usual access members of the press, and hence all of us, enjoy. According to this thread, there’s precedent for some restrictions during an impeachment trial, but these are more strict than before, and the reporter is arguing that in the age of social media, reporters should be able to report in realtime.
I’m assuming this will be televised. Is that true? Was Clinton’s?

What a pathetic, disgusting display of intimidation and the valuing of property over human lives.

Literally.
And I mean that as a Boomer, not a Millennial.

Ah yes, the good old days when literally meant literally and figuratively meant the opposite. I remember them fondly.

Yeah, 1875 really was the good old days before Mark Twain ruined it by using “literally” as in intensifier in The Adventures of Tom Sawyer.

Not sure how much of an effect this phenomenon has, but it is very plain that the press has no idea how to handle this level of assholery from the Whitehouse and maintain some level of objectivity or a reasonable facsimile of same.
“Describing Trump as he really is can make it seem as if a report is “anti-Trump” and that the reporter is trying to make the president look foolish.”
Thing is, “describing him as he really is” and “making him look foolish” are one and the same. You have to do both or neither. Media here have chosen the latter. To their everlasting shame.

See how long we’ve been fighting this? Literally more than a hundred years.

I think, ultimately, becoming a mere intensifier is the fate of every adverb.
* Ultimately used literally here, not as an intensifier.

As the book reminds us, President Trump is ignorant about things such as basic geography and history. And when I say “basic,” I mean grade-school level stuff. For example, Trump is quoted as telling Prime Minister if India Narendra Modi, “It’s not like you’ve got China on your border.” It is like India has China on its border, because India does, in fact, have China on its border.
