Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas to all Patterico readers!
Here is some music for the occasion. It’s one of the most beautiful songs I know, expressing a beautiful sentiment: Jay Semko’s “Asleep in the Loving Arms of God”:

- Luke Stywalker: A lifelong unprincipled deadbeat.
- Arizona CJ: Now why might Hillary Clinton be out to destroy Tulsi Gabbard? I think the reason is that Hillary Clinton is doing a little battlefield preparation prior to jumping into the race. Biden and Warren are having major issues right now (Wall Street donors have formally threatened to either sit the election out of back Trump if Warren is the nominee - and I suspect Clinton had a hand in that). So, the question on my mind is, who of the 2020 Democrat presidential field will be next to get the Clinton knife?
- Thomas McLain: "This is, of course, what Trump provably did in the 1990s, as the New York Times revealed in detail about a year ago." No, the only thing that article proved is that the NYT reporters are incapable of analyzing a tax return and were too arrogant or stupid to have someone who can do it for them. Substantially ALL of the accusations in the Oct 2018 NYT article are provably falsified by the very documents the NYT posted to "prove" them. I can provide you all the information one should need to verify that him or herself. As to why the NYT reporters got Pulitzers for it instead of banished from the entire news reporting profession, your guess is as good as mine. Propublica has yet to release copies of the source documents for their accusations. Until they do, I would very much advise everyone to be skeptical that those documents prove Propublica's accusations.
- Kman: I am scratching my head. Is this the strategy? Just... not comply? They know (or should know) that this makes them look bad, and public sentiment will turn against them more. They know (or should know) that the House committees will go to court. Are they trying to force a legal showdown? Do they actually think the Supreme Court will agree with them on non-compliance? Will they just not comply with a court order, if it comes to that? Historically, Trump's strategy in lawsuits is to delay delay delay (I know from first hand experience), and sap the resources of the other side. That way, the case goes away or can be settled (and then he still delays payment). That has worked well for him -- I guess. But this isn't a vendor suing him in NY State Court. This is the U.S. Congress conducting a serious constitutional duty. The inquiry isn't just going to go away, no matter how "political" it is, or that he tries to mnake it. Who on Trump's team -- the lawyers I mean -- thinks this is a good strategy? Why drag this out when going into an election season? It boggles the mind. I keep thinking of the line that Hal Holbrook said in All The President's Men: "Look, forget the myths the media's created about the White House--the truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand."
- Arizona CJ: I've long feared that the US would knife the Kurds in the back again (Remember Bush Sr. letting Saddam Housein massacre them after they rose up in response to us asking them to?). And now, it appears Trump has done it too. I would not favor a war to stop Turkey, but I sure as heck don't support "greenlighting" an invasion of our ally by Turkey, a current dictatorship, as well as being a country with a history of launching genocides.
