Peztopiary posted:It's because he's loving another Representative. He'll end up resigning over it, and presumably she will as well. It was really almost indescribably stupid of them. Is that illegal, or unethical, as far as House rules are concerned? By the way, I had a sudden insight: remember in the 2000's, when Blue Dogs made sure that the Democratic majority in Congress couldn't completely hamstring the Republican Bush? Maybe it's time for Boehner to lead a Republican faction that, with the Democrats, would allow for governance by a Democratic President. You could call them the Sad Puppies.

Tatum Girlparts posted:It sounds like fancy contract talk for 'scents and sounds can count as a trademark when part of a company's identity'. Not sure about scents but in places like Japan and South Korea (they're part of this too right?) jingles are HUGE, I imagine a lot of companies would be pissed if suddenly the cute little notes they strung together to ensure their brand took root in people's memories were used by everyone. South Korea was considering joining in but hasn't as of yet. They may be able to ratify the treaty later, but they didn't get to make any demands. The countries involved are the ones in dark green on this map:  Light green countries considered joining in, but didn't.

So I heard that one of the reasons Boehner never had any control over his caucus was because he got rid of earmarks. Could the next Speaker probably re-implement that?

euphronius posted:That sounds like a challenge. How good is Russia on Campus shootings? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beslan_school_siege#Storming_by_Russian_forces quote:The Beslan school siege (also referred to as the Beslan school hostage crisis or Beslan massacre)[2][3][4] started on 1 September 2004, lasted three days and involved the capture of over 1,100 people as hostages (including 777 children),[5] ending with the death of 385 people. The crisis began when a group of armed Islamic terrorists, mostly Ingush and Chechen, occupied School Number One (SNO) in the town of Beslan, North Ossetia (an autonomous republic in the North Caucasus region of the Russian Federation) on 1 September 2004. The terrorists hostage-takers were the Riyadus-Salikhin Battalion, sent by the Chechen warlord Shamil Basayev, who demanded recognition of the independence of Chechnya and the UN and Russian withdrawal from Chechnya. On the third day of the standoff, Russian security forces stormed the building with the use of tanks, incendiary rockets and other heavy weapons.[6] At least 385 hostages were killed, including 186 children,[7][8] with a significant number of people injured and reported missing. quote:At least three but as many as nine powerful Shmel rockets were fired at the school from the positions of the special forces (three[11] or nine[94] empty disposable tubes were later found on the rooftops of nearby apartment blocks). The use of the Shmel rockets, classified in Russia as flamethrowers and in the West as thermobaric weapons, was initially denied, but later admitted by the government.[13][95] A report by an aide to the military prosecutor of the North Ossetian garrison stated that RPG-26 rocket-propelled grenades were used as well.
