oh poo poo she got the french version of the jesus campers http://www.politico.eu/article/french-farmers-flock-to-marine-le-pen-hope-for-the-best-agricultural-policy/ quote:“If farmers are turning first to the National Front, it’s because Marine Le Pen has set herself up as a spokeswoman for people in crisis, and the farming world is in permanent crisis,” said Martial Foucault, head of the Cevipof political research institute. “This is despite the fact that her statist, protectionist program is totally opposed to their vision of the economy, and that her plan for Europe threatens subsidies that are crucial for many of them.” oh shittttttttttttttttt

Sorta dumb question: Now that there's actual ammunition against Sessions, are they (and i'm not even entirely sure who they is, I'm assuming the Senate?) going to do everything in their power to get a this racist out of the office of AG? Is this looming perjury thing enough for some Republicans to jump ship and vote (or whatever the mechanic is here) against him? Someone explain how this can potentially unfold. (Outside of the obvious "lol nothing matters nor will anything happen") /ninjaedit: I'm a loving moron, let me watch that Maddow clip first if that explains it

He is being dragged before congress to clarify his statements, because the Republicans will use it to hand waive the fact that he committed perjury. The dems will still cry for him to resign but because they are minorities in both House and Senate, it means nothing. Essentially "lol nothing matters nor will anything happen" barring some serious poo poo rolling out where literally nothing can be done to protect him and he is forced to resign. Or Al Franklin hears a lie that finally breaks him and he uses his bare hands to remove Sessions's lungs from his body in the middle of the review. I'm hoping for the latter.

Zeris posted:It's almost as though going after them for lying about meetings, without having any substance as to what went on in them, wasn't an effective tactic! Uhh sessions recused himself and the administration is playing defense. Sessions also doesn't have deniability pertaining to his impartiality with regards to Russia or leaks concerning the campaign. It was a hugely beneficial political move in laying a foundation for isolating the trump administration from Congress. It's not a panacea but to call it ineffective ignores alot of significant developments Kawasaki Nun fucked around with this message at 06:10 on Mar 4, 2017 |

Just so we all have our expectations rooted in reality: Everyone around trump could resign because of shady poo poo, you could have Trump in a 4K HD video talking face to face with Putin, admitting to banging Ivanka immediately after saying verbatim "I need you to make sure I, Donald J Trump, win the election in November 8, 2016 and I will then use taxpayer money to pay what I owe you, Vladimir Putin. My social security number is xxx-xx-xxx" and he still won't get impeached or lose a lot of his core supporters.

TBeats posted:Just so we all have our expectations rooted in reality: Yeah his complete imperviousness to political pressure is certainly rooted in reality. Forcing his appointees to resign is a major political coup for the Dems. If they manage to make it happen twice it would.be massively disruptive to Trump's political agenda and people's perception of his competency. You keep him losing and his dumb poo poo rhetoric loses any semblance of sanity. Sure you'll never convince the true believers but this narrative that he's completely impervious to politics is demonstrably wrong.

At some point the R's have to start growing spines right? Like what do they do if the budget is batshit insane? They can't rubber stamp something that permanently breaks the federal gov't can they? What happens if they kick it back? Edit: Please correct me if I'm wrong, but there is a difference between holding the budget hostage for a few months, and passing something that, I dunno, guts the state dept and IRS right?

They care about their fat rear end checks from corporations. Those fucks wouldn't piss on a constituent to put out a fire. TBeats posted:Just so we all have our expectations rooted in reality: This is not true. Realize that Trump's hold is very fragile. Not because of his tiny hands, but because it hinges on how 75% of his voters are either expecting him to deliver on jobs or stop SS/Medicare from being cut. He is going to lose both of those. If you think for more than two seconds that Congress isn't going to gut SS/Medicare, you are loving retarded. And people aren't going to be real patient when all those JOBS aren't there. The stock market is going ape poo poo, and its not going to show up in living wage jobs. At that point the GOP is hosed. Understand, people are going to burn for whats about to go down in Congress over the next 6-7 months. Trump will be standing there with the entire thing crashing around him AND OH BY THE WAY I CUT DEALS WITH RUSSIA SO I COULD WIN AND PUT ALL MY RICH DONERS IN POWER TO MAKE loving YOU ALL THAT MUCH EASIER. The only thing keeping Trump in power is the Reds thinking that he will roll over and let them end ACA and SS/Medicare, gut basically everything but the DOD, then drop a tax reform bill that screws the poor and middle class. We are not getting jobs back or creating any meaningful amounts of new ones. Manufacturing/mining/infrastructure.. None of it is happening. And when everything falls apart, he won't have midline and independent voters propping him up. That 40% rating is going to be sub 30% before December. His one saving grace is whether or not the Dems can be effective at showing how he and the GOP have hosed everyone. The town hall outrage will get worse when it adds all the broken promises republicans. And that poo poo show is going to cause Congress to start looking for distractions from their bullshit and rear end fuckery.

Also, like half of the steel that's going to be used for the dakota and keystone pipelines is coming from Canada even though trump said he added a clause saying all the steel pipe was being manufactured in USA

His administration said keystone is exempt from the buy American clause because it's a project in progress instead of a new one.
