I searched for that may-may of the guy correcting the spelling to *you'r but instead I got this video Glasses According to Face Shape for Men in Hindi, so here you go:
We’re proposing something different. We’re suggesting that in today’s situation, people should vote a straight Democratic ticket even if they are not partisan, and despite their policy views. They should vote against Republicans in a spirit that is, if you will, prepartisan and prepolitical. Their attitude should be: The rule of law is a threshold value in American politics, and a party that endangers this value disqualifies itself, period. In other words, under certain peculiar and deeply regrettable circumstances, sophisticated, independent-minded voters need to act as if they were dumb-ass partisans.
Bolding, mine.

Since Donald Trump thinks its treason to not clap when the President speaks, I thought I'd share this footage of Trump committing treason. pic.twitter.com/i8DUNfFqlP

As usual, he accused his opponents of something he himself did. It is always, always, ALWAYS projection with these motherfuckers. You could probably build a passable Republican by training an AI to follow the following rules:
IGMFY (I Got Mine; Fuck You).
Cleek's Law (Today's 'conservatism' is the opposite of what liberals want today, updated daily).
It's Always Projection.
The Object of Power Is Power.
I think it would probably fool other Republicans, but it might not pass a Turing test, because I don't think the Republicans would pass a Turing test either. (Or a Voight-Kampff test. There are eight letters that appear in both "Replicant" and "Republican". Coincidence? It is irresponsible not to speculate.)
In other news, in the "even a blind squirrel finds an acorn occasionally" department, the Daily Mail has broken an absolutely horrifying story about serial domestic abuse by White House staff secretary Rob Porter, who has just resigned (when there's photographic evidence, that's pretty much game over). Moreover, the Mail has established that Gen. Kelly, for whatever reason, knew about the domestic abuse and did nothing about it - in fact, kept defending Porter. I can't read why he chose this specific hill to die on - I mean, he'd pretty much already outed himself as a misogynist, but still. Kelly has claimed that he didn't know about Porter's abuse, but the Mail and other sources seem to have convincingly discredited these claims already.
Of course, this is the Mail, so they're still milking as many stories out of it as possible. I'll link two of the more relevant ones and leave it at that. Trigger warning for assault, strangulation, and probably half a dozen other things I'm too dazed to think of right now. The articles have photos.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I think I'm going to be ill.

One unreported detail: Tuesday night as I went to Sarah Sanders' office to review the White House's response to our story about Rob Porter, Porter himself appeared from down the hall. He audibly growled at me. I stared him down. He exhaled loudly and walked into Sarah's office.

Somebody should get onto this.
good thing liv isn't here any more ...
You could probably make the AI even more passable (but no more Turingable) by adding "Regularly accuse others of values this AI develops."
Donald Trump has continually shown himself to have authoritarian tendencies, and this is just another worrisome example.
For someone who just declared that it was ‘treasonous’ to not applaud him, and for someone who has, in the past, admired the tactics of everyone from Saddam Hussein to Vladmir Putin, it is clear that a military parade isn’t about saluting the military—it is about making a display of the military saluting him.
The military is not Donald Trump’s to use and abuse this way. Our military is the very best in the world—they are not to be reduced to stagecraft to prop up Donald Trump’s image. Any commander in chief who respects the traditions of the military would understand that.
Unfortunately, we do not have a commander in chief, right now, as much as we have a wannabe banana republic strongman.

After recently seeing a video in which President Trump brags that he is the greatest at a variety of things, I got an idea of what he might someday say. Something that he might already have said.

"Nobody is more humble than me."
More than that, he's more humble than you would understand.
4 things wrong with this 43-word tweet. - Dems didn't control all three 'til '09 - Dems passed DREAM Act in '10; GOP filibuster killed it - DACA, created by Dem, didn't exist until '12 - Trump cancelled DACA; Dems simply want to re-protect enrollees; GOP demands steep concessions pic.twitter.com/7iaPEDuiSE
7:30 Fox & Friends segment 7:54 Trump tweet about Fox & Friends segment 8:34 Fox & Friends headline about the Trump tweet about the Fox & Friends segment.
As usual, he accused his opponents of something he himself did. It is always, always, ALWAYS projection with these motherfuckers.
Trump said today that the reason Germany, other European countries and South Korea didn't repay the U.S. for its post-World War II assistance was that presidents prior to him "were lazy." pic.twitter.com/LQkr8KcK8d
So that's two proxies for Trump ruled out categorically.
Do any possibilities remain in the frame? .... Why Yes, Yes! Trump himself, undisguised by any of his corporate shells or shills, might yet have been a party to the transaction and reimbursed Cohen directly or, er ... directly.
