If that is what it takes . . .

??? She's a Kardashian - there's nothing you can say or do to disrespect them that they haven't already said or done themselves.
On this issue, she is pursuing what seems like a worthy cause. I couldn't care less what else she gets up to.
It's an important part of our democracy and free press that ridiculous people be mocked. And mocked some more.

That means if you spend 99.5% of your time being ridiculous, you won't be taken very seriously on the 0.5% of your time when you have a point.

See Trump for details.

Whoever sent Kim Kardashian to do their pleading should have sent someone a lot less ridiculous.

Obama turned down the woman KK is pleading for 3 times, so of course Trump will pardon her.
Wonder if he tried to grab Kim by the pussy?

I take each case on its merits. There are a lot of time ridiculing Kim Kardashian may be appropriate. On this occasion, I don't think so.

Just my opinion. You can shoot it down if you want.

Respect to her for helping out on a worthy cause but I wonder if he's going to be taking personal meetings with other people with single issue problems/requests like gun control reform, environmental damage, renewable energy, clean water in Flint, repairs in Peurto Rico etc? Of course, they don't have Kanye to reach out for them and Trump doesn't think it'll look good to his supporters.

as an aside, he doesn't like standing for photos does he?

It's Trump's motives I'm always more suspect of than others.

Well, Kanye Kardashian-West has promised to run in 2024.

Most people thought it was just more fruit-loopiness, but after this and the recent Trump-West tweet-fest, maybe not!

Eric and Kim, sitting in a tree...

He won't be meeting any other people fighting possible miscarriages of justice will he.

It's just a photo op for both of them.... Celebrity backslapping.

I can't think of two people who deserve less credit for their entire lives, than those two.

wait this really happened biggrin
I’m not sure what’s real anymore
Quick spoiler, a lot has already come out of it, i lost count of the number of times it has been posted that people are already in jail for this, not to mention the charges, guilty pleas and indictments laugh
rofl

One person who had no connection to the Trump campaign jailed for 30 days. Facts matter.
I agree facts matter. This fact has come from the Guardian "A federal judge in Washington sentenced Alex van der Zwaan, a 33-year-old lawyer who previously worked with Paul Manafort, Trump’s former campaign manager. He was also ordered to pay a $20,000 fine."
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2018/apr/03/al...

Do you consider someone who worked with Trumps campaign manager to have "no connection to Trump" then?

I notice you didn't post evidence as to where your quote(?) came from. Is that because it is one of the looney sites you frequent? if not, please provide the link where it came from.

rofl back at you...

ETA i do agree my use of the word "people" was wrong though

Looks like after seeing Trump as POTUS, any old fool now thinks they'll have a go at it too.

I think you just misread the article. Anyway as I said Alex van der Zwaan had no association with Trump or the Trump campaign.
You genuinely think that someone that worked with Trumps campaign manager had "no association with the Trump campaign"??

That kind of thinking is staggering...

As you're a clear seeker of facts, one has to wonder why you give Trump a pass on telling lies?

FFS.

The last time he worked with Manafort was 2011. How does that connect him to the Trump campaign?
rolleyes
OK, i will try one last time but i fear this is going to fall on deaf ears
Facts matter - I don't know where you got 2011 from, did you make it up
"Van der Zwaan was drawn into the Trump-Russia investigation by actions he took in 2012. "
This is from a different website https://www.politico.com/story/2018/05/08/russia-p...
I presume you know that Trump was considering running for president in 2012 as well. rolleyes

rolleyes
Are you ignoring the work he did for him then in 2016 based on the Ukraine Campaign? As late as September 2016 according to the court documents
He actually was jailed for lying to the FBI over his work with Mannafort and Rick Gates and a business associate based in Ukraine in September 2016, while the Trump campaign operation was in full swing.

Gates and Zwann worked plea deals, Zwann so good he got 30 days in jail rather than a possible 5 years

Of course thats ignoring that he's married to the daughter of the Russian billionaire German Khan, co-founder and co-owner of Alfa Group, whos servers a trump tower server was in communication with, a possible route for data used in targeting voters by both team trump and the russian social media teams.

He only got 30 days because he had useful information to give...

Going by your knowledge of Van der Zwaan, I'd be checking your own facts, as well as Trumps.
