Nessus posted:Reagan was a semi-decent actor, and also cut their taxes, so of course they think he was a pillar of all that is good. I like trying to tell my mom that, no Republicans were always terrible, the reality you remember never happened, as being born in 1967, you were coming of age well after the Southern Strategy had been put into effect and Reagan was being a total fuckhead. Never mind all that poo poo show grandstanding through the 90s and the loving Bush Years.

Nessus posted:OK, so - assuming this drat email file actually does contain a couple of emails Huma sent from Weiner's computer, as opposed to "emails Huma sent to Weiner from work, possibly about dinner or returning the netflix DVDs" - she did not in fact commit perjury, as she very likely legitimately forgot about tapping out a couple of emails in 2011. Yea it'd depend on context. An email saying the good wife is on at 8 vs here's how to cover up Benghazi Or like with bill Clinton. Would you forget your aide gave you a bj? And how long would it reasonably take you to forget that?

Yeah HRC will have every right to get him to resign. BTW I was wondering but considering quite a bit of the extreme right gets funding from Moscow is it possible to charge them with any laws detailing abetting the enemy?

Nessus posted:Couldn't you just hit the VOTE ALL R, take your picture, then hit VOTE ALL D and continue on your way? The laws against them try to target an already illegal act, miss horribly, and do nothing but legislate free expression of political speech. gently caress them.

SimonCat posted:I'm curious how you think she'll be able to force him to resign. The president has the absolute power to fire the director of the FBI. It just looks very bad which is why it has only been done once. If you want someone gone, its usually understood that you'll ask them for their resignation, and they'll usually give it to avoid the spectacle of being fired.

Technically your boss can't fire you for voting the wrong way. Like all other "you can't fire people for x" laws it's incredibly easy to get around by technically firing them for some other nitpick a few weeks later and then denying you made them show you the picture.

By the way, message to the media, if you are going to give excessive coverage to this email poo poo, which we now know is bullshit that wont implicate Clinton at all, maybe you could also just maybe dedicate one or two paragraphs to Trump's civil rape trial coming up in December? Yes, I know its probably crap, but that never stopped you before, so be fair. Just right before the election, let everyone know that Trump is about to not just defend himself against a MASSIVE fraud with Trump university, but also with the civil rape case of a minor.

Employers wield disproportionate power in our society and legal system; the burden of proof that your firing is retaliation is difficult, especially if you find yourself without income to hire an attorney. Then there's at-will employment and binding arbitration clauses, so the best way to make sure this ends up not being an issue is to make sure there is no incentive for people to enable the vote-monitoring via mobile phone photos.

PhazonLink posted:Oh wow. In NC voters are allowed to wear buttons of who they want to vote for, they just can't campaign for who they are voting for while in line. It's free speech to say "I'm going to vote for Hillary" and wearing a  button or sticker is the non-verbal way of doing said free speech. HOWEVER, states can and do legislate that active campaigning cannot happen within a certain distance of a voting booth.

Alternately, they know Trump will sue the gently caress out of them. This is why they referred to his sexual assault tape as "lewd remarks," because THAT they wouldn't get sued over, as they were undeniably that very thing, but saying "Trump admitted to sexual assault" = "rapid lawsuit."

If Comey steps down there would be an interim director until a proper nomination / confirmation takes place. Now, if the GOP hounds the interim director to keep investigating President Clinton while they keep stonewalling her nomination and the DOJ is stuck spinning their wheels and then domestic terrorist attacks don't happen.
