http://nypost.com/2017/07/11/donald-trump-jr-is-an-idiot/
We see one truly solid takeaway from the story of the day: Donald Trump Jr. is an idiot.

In the heat of your father’s presidential campaign, a bozo British publicist e-mails you to set up a sitdown with a “Russian government attorney” promising “documents and information” to “incriminate Hillary” courtesy of the “Crown prosecutor of Russia” as “part of” the Russian government’s “support” for dad — and you eagerly take the meeting.
“If it’s what you say I love it,” wrote Junior. As if the government of former KGB spymaster Vladimir Putin would do anything so clumsy. (Our former colleague Kyle Smith put it nicely: “Don Jr. is why Nigerian e-mail scammers keep trying their luck.”)

Worse, he dragged brother-in-law Jared Kushner and then-campaign chief Paul Manafort into the meeting, which proved to be a bid by a Moscow fixer to undo a US law causing trouble for her clients. (Reportedly, Kushner walked out within 10 minutes while Manafort did work on his phone.)

Oh, and someone was so careless with the e-mail trail that it all wound up being fed to The New York Times, for days of headlines that (at best) undermine President Trump’s agenda as both health and tax reform hang in the balance in Congress.

Dumb. Dumb. Dumb. As were Junior’s shifting, incomplete accounts of the meeting under days of Times questioning.

Heh that sorta stuff hasn't even leaked out about Trump yet. I was talking about his public persona.

I'm sure we'll be hearing weird ass stories about Trump years after the guy is dead.

It's Nixon's fault the press pries so much into presidents, really. They pretty much turned a blind eye towards stuff like philandering before then(and not just the Dems either, though you have to go back a ways, of course), but Nixon was hiding actual malfeasance while also openly hating on the media.

But yes, the Trumps are a stupid family, and Donald Jr. is probably the dumbest of the lot. He basically admitted he tried to collude with a Russian government agent. And, also, LOL at people who try to excuse it as some sort of Democratic plot. First, the Democrats are incompetent. Second, even if we allow that, somehow, someway, without any evidence, this meeting was masterminded by Democratic operatives to discredit Trump, consider the following points:
1)It wasn't exposed until JUST NOW i.e. long after it could have helped elect President (Hillary) Clinton
2) Donald Jr. took the bait. Donald Jr. as well as President Trump's then-campaign manager and his son-in-law all WANTED to collude with a hostile foreign government.

Lyndon Baines Johnson's well documented history of showing off his junk
http://gawker.com/lbj-was-obsessed-with-his-dick-1694599317
From an excerpt of Robert Caro's biography, via the New York Review of Books:

He early became fabled for a Rabelaisian earthiness, urinating in the parking lot of the House Office Building as the urge took him; if a colleague came into a Capitol bathroom as he was finishing at the urinal there, he would sometimes swing around still holding his member, which he liked to call "Jumbo," hooting once, "Have you ever seen anything as big as this?," and shaking it in almost a brandishing manner as he began discoursing about some pending legislation.

[...]

Even on the floors of the House and Senate, he would extravagantly rummage away at his groin, sometimes reaching his hand through a pocket and leaning with half-lifted leg for more thorough access.

i'll be the first to note that the NYPost is a terrible newspaper

but one of the core problems with it is that it's a republican mouthpiece that does not try to hide that it is a republican mouthpiece. it makes no efforts to maintain even the slightest facade of impartiality; it leads with its bias and markets itself to conservatives who are seeking a safe space.

this is a typical article it produces:

http://nypost.com/2017/07/11/why-the-latest-russia-story-is-just-another-trump-witch-hunt/

so with that in mind, when it's calling DTJ an idiot, what it's actually saying is "Why are you fucking this up for us?!"
