Oh, please let the GOP publicly implode. I've been waiting for this since 2008. So what's the federal legal basis now for what Alabama is pulling re: Voter ID, the Voting Rights Act, and Shelby County v. Holder? Do we have to wait for Congress to do something?

Trabisnikof posted:The sky above the White House was the color of an email server, tuned to a deleted email I put the server in an closet and padded it out with four pairs of master locks, not my style at all, but that was what I was aiming for: If they think you’re crude, go technical; if they think you’re technical, go crude. I’m a very technical gal. So I decided to get as crude as possible. These days, though, you have to be pretty technical before you can even aspire to crudeness. I’d had to order Benghazi, and then organize it myself; I’d had to dig up an old memo with instructions for security clearances; I’d had to build a foundation to cheat the lawyers – all very tricky. But I knew they’d work.

What does this really mean for things like that? Ex-Im is getting a vote at the end of the month via discharge position, and Boehner give exactly zero fucks about pissing off the raiders of the tortilla coast so as long as the republicans can't agree on a new speaker it's looking like he won't tank the world economy to just placate the children.

Pick posted:So apparently a lot of gun talk is going on, but I was hoping someone had some thoughts on what's going to happen regarding the next Speaker? Anyone here have any credible-seeming projections? Entire thing seems like a poo poo-show and the person with the remote in the house just watches Fox. And even they seem to be half-admitting it's a shitshow. Ryan seems to be slowly coming to terms with the position. Last week he went from "definitely no" to "probably no" to "I'll consider it." He's under substantial pressure from everyone in the Republican Party of any importance, from the owner of the Chicago Cubs to Mitt Romney, to run. If Ryan declines, it will be because he doesn't think he can get unanimity in the House. He doesn't want to drag his career aspirations through the mud. If Ryan refuses, the likeliest candidate for Speaker is Boehner. Boehner has already stated that he would stay Speaker until the House had agreed on someone to take over. Given that there are about ten different candidates considering a run, it is unlikely that the Republican Party will reach a consensus in the immediate future. That leaves Boehner by sheer inertia. If both Ryan and Boehner are somehow unable to fill the position, there's been a few names floated for a "caretaker Speaker," a man who would just fulfill administrative duties until the next election and do little else. Tom Cole, Jim Kline, and Lynn Westmoreland have been mentioned a lot for this possibility. It is questionable, though, whether any of these individuals would succeed in getting the necessary votes without making major concessions to the Freedom Caucus. After that, it's really up in the air. Everyone is waiting to see what Ryan will do and until he makes a final announcement, you won't see any rival campaigns. About 5% of the current conference is considering a run. QuoProQuid fucked around with this message at 03:17 on Oct 13, 2015 |

It is January 2017, John Boehner finally relaxes at his Ohioan home, having had to remain Speaker for an entire extra year. He flips on C-SPAN to watch the election of the man that will finally succeed him, marking his freedom hell, one of his own partial making, as officially over. To his shock and horror each and every republican casts a vote for 'The Honorable John Boehner of Ohio" . Boehner screams NO and sobs as each vote is cast; before mercifully passing out the last thing he sees is the cackling face of Ted Cruz.

Holden: You're in the house, walking along in the aisles, when all of a sudden you look up... Paul Ryan: Which one? Holden: What? Paul Ryan: Which Congress? Holden: It doesn't make any difference what Congress, it's completely hypothetical. Paul Ryan: But, how come I'd be there? Holden: Maybe you've been elected. Maybe you want to pocket some lobbyist cash. Who knows? You look up and see the speaker, Paul. It's trying to get out of the speaker’s chair... Paul Ryan: The speaker? Who’s that? Holden: You know who John Boenher is? Paul Ryan: Of course! Holden: Same thing. Holden: You reach down and you push the speaker back into the chair, Paul. Paul Ryan: Do you make up these questions, Mr. Holden? Or do they write 'em down for you? Holden: The speaker sits there, his dignity baking in the camera’s glare, beating his legs trying to get out, but he can't. Not without your help. But you're not helping. Paul Ryan: [angry at the suggestion] What do you mean, I'm not helping? Holden: I mean: you're not helping! Why is that, Paul? [Paul Ryan has become visibly shaken]

ComradeCosmobot posted:There seems to be some talk about Paul Ryan being a compromise candidate, but he's reportedly demanded near unanimous support from the party to agree to run. The Freedom Caucus has suggested he may be acceptable, which presumably helps boost his candidacy, but are still officially backing Webster at the moment. It's unclear if they're withholding outright support in favor of getting promises to meet their ten demands (they probably are). If so, Ryan could end up refusing a draft and the Republicans are truly stuck. Considering what happened to the other two 'young guns' I can't say I blame Ryan for wanting to keep as far the gently caress away from house leadership as humanly possible.

HootTheOwl posted:Why would he want to become the next Speaker Who Caved? Pretty much. Unless the entirety of the house comes to literally suck his cock and beg for him to be speaker there is no way he wants to or should get involved with it. Eventually we're going to need a budget passed, and unless he has black magic controlling the suicide caucus like puppets he'll have to get the democrats to help pass the CR. The moment he does that he is a RINO and can go straight to hell along with any bit of presidential ambition he had down the line.

Paul Ryan would be a idiot for taking the Speaker of the House job. Paul Ryan is already a idiot. Paul Ryan will take the Speaker of House job. It's all perfectly logical.

Do cops and people in the military wear earplugs or some other form of hearing protection regularly?

gameFAQsspinoffETI posted:Do cops and people in the military wear earplugs or some other form of hearing protection regularly? Yes and no. During training, yes, but in the field, not likely. However, the military has helmets that cover the ears so they do provide some hearing protection and the headsets used by vehicle crews tend to keep down outside noise to a manageable level. But that doesn't stop most men who've served in the military from developing hearing problems as they get older.

Assuming Boehner is forced to stay around, what sort of shenanigans could he get up to given that he a) doesn't have to care about re-election and b) will really loving hate the tea party faction?
