"Earlier this week, I wrote an article for The New Republic (and expanded on it in a post here at TPA) about how the media 'sanewashes' Trump. If you missed that, I recommend checking it out.
And then yesterday, we were given a perfect example of this."

"All this of course raises another serious question: Who else have the Russians bought? After all, $10 million is a small amount to a government like Russia (or Egypt for that matter). But to individuals like these far-right influencers, or to a certain ex-president nearing financial insolvency, $10 million could be life changing."

"The Washington Post led with his incoherent comments about childcare in a Thursday speech. In the Times’ account? Barely a word. ...
He should be quoted verbatim, not in a partial way that sanitizes his words and cleans them up.
Why? Because his mental fitness at age 78 to be president for the next four years is a legitimate issue."~ Michael Tomasky

"The biggest problem, the problem that all journalistic analysis of Trump’s response ought to lead with, is that his answer makes absolutely no sense. …
Reading through some media outlets’ attempts to report on Trump’s comments yesterday, one can witness in real time the process of trying to impose sense where there is none."

"The Tenet Media guys are worse than useful idiots. They're collaborators. …
When someone is a victim of a scheme, he does not usually end up with a pile of money as a result of it. So if these gentlemen are victims then I expect they will either give the ill-gotten money back to the Russian government, or give it away to charity, yes?"

In his never-ending lying, fantasy world, real to him and his Magalites, trump has gone passed that Point of No Return, called sanity. Unbalanced to the point of spinning

At least we around here have still the concept of usury, if you offer/buy goods/services for more than 50% off their common prices, you better know what you do legally, as usury becomes a legal argument to void the contract.
So yes, random influencers get exorbitant sums for producing content, they better document how they checked these orders are legit and not used in a criminal enterprise.

@yacc143 Usury is a very useful rule of thumb to apply here. Thanks for suggesting that.
