I feel like deleting all my news apps, turning off all notifications and trading in my Economist subscription for 4 years of America's most popular magazine, Reader's Digest. I'll happily take Life in These United States over the real thing.

A while ago they fired some millennial from my job for always calling off on her night shifts. She came into the office begging for her job back. Yesterday was her first day back, she had a night shift today and called off. Got fired over the phone. I heard crying. It was great.

'Millenial', can mean anyone from 15 to 35 theses days apparently.

As we have discussed in the past, Cockatoos are literally hyperactive toddlers that live the lifespan of a normal human being that learn what is the best way to annoy people.

'Millenial' has become such a stupid and meaningless term that I sincerely hope that anyone using it unironically stubs their little toe in the most painful way imaginable.

Plus I was looking forward to watching Trump have a meltdown when he didn't win, and now I can't have that and it annoys me. Who knows, maybe THIS TIME the republicans can look at the poo poo that's broken that, you know, they broke and go "OH gently caress, LOOK AT THAT, WE CAN FIX IT!" The only real joy I have in the whole hosed up situation is knowing that as hosed as the economy, government, and basically world is at this point, ever republican is gonna have to suck up to Trump and they will hate every god damned minute of it.

Gobbeldygook posted:The House has a rule that only bills supported by the majority of the majority are to be taken to the floor. Speaker Ryan will say, "nope, most Republians are not down with <X>" and that will be it. Trump's past behavior with regard to his businesses, charitable foundation, and taxes strongly suggests this will be the most corrupt administration ever. Harding's petty nonsense will be nothing compared to the shameless grifting of Trump. Wait what, how is this a rule? Surely someone proposes a bill, gets enough people to back it and the house has to at least debate it at some point. You surely can't just have one guy who gets to say I don't think my folks are down for that in my opinion and block it.

Gobbeldygook posted:No, he takes a vote. If the majority of Republicans don't support it, the Speaker doesn't bring it to the floor period even if some combination of Republians and Democrats would reach majority. It's called the Hastert rule and the whole point is to put a stop to bipartisan bills passing. It's only an informal rule, so the Speaker can suspend it if they want to but doing so is likely to result in the Speaker's replacement. Excuse me but WHAT THE ACTUAL loving gently caress poo poo IS THIS? Even if a MAJORITY supports a bill, a single person can just go "NUH-HUH" and refuse to even allow a general vote on it? How is this democracy? How is this allowed?

But why would you want to stop bills with Bipartisan support from passing? It seems like a basic affront to democracy like filibusters.

Aramoro posted:But why would you want to stop bills with Bipartisan support from passing? It seems like a basic affront to democracy like filibusters. It doesn't completely stop bipartisan bills - just bills from the opposition that have a little bit of sympathy from the fringe of the majority party. 51% of the majority isn't enough to pass a bill, but it's enough to bring it to the floor and then pass it with support from across the aisle. Note that if the speaker is being completely obstructionist, a simple majority of House members can sign a discharge petition and say "gently caress you, we're voting on it anyway". It's not something that really happens though, since: - A member of the majority party signing a petition would be seen as rebelling against their party leadership, so they're only going to do it if it's really serious. - If things are serious enough that members of the majority party would consider signing a petition, the Speaker is probably going to put it up for a vote even without majority support in their party. For example, Boehner's done it a few times when the republicans have been being stupid about the debt ceiling.
