evilweasel posted:I mean that it's less then pretending to themselves it's not happening and more making their peace with it for political power. Based on the body language that McConnell and Ryan have been showing during this I am leaning heavily towards the both of them being on the Russian payroll as well. I have spent a great deal of time around corrupt sociopaths and have been involved as a part of the inside circle when a conspiracy broke down. To me Ryan's and McConnell's body language hearkens back to my days inside cults involved with criminal conspiracies. Ryan is going the path of complete outward (and probably inwards as well) denial of the severity of the threat he faces. McConnell looks to me like a coward contemplating their upcoming date with their personal Kobayashi Maru and feeling nothing but seething cold fury that their schemes are being undone because of someone else's incompetence.

Slashrat posted:Considering that at this point there are probably people willing to set her up for life just for leaving him, even if she herself remains completely silent during the process and afterwards, I wonder what exactly it is that makes her seemingly reluctantly stay at his side. You can look at Amber Heard's divorce a year ago for an indication of how it'd go down for Melania. Heard divorced Depp over domestic violence, but a large proportion of the media and the public blamed Heard for hurting Depp's career. I don't think Donald's fans would be any kinder to Melania, and a lot of the US wouldn't be sympathetic, blaming her for marrying Donald in the first place

I actually believe him when he says he did it on purpose, I just don't believe he meant to say that out loud. He's the poster child of "run up giant deficits, use giant deficits to argue we must cut spending, repeat". He wants to claim the budget balances while blowing a massive hole in it so that social security and medicare have to be cut to fill it in later on.

It seems pretty clear Comey deliberately set up a bunch of the leaks when he told his friends "don't talk about this WHILE I AM DIRECTOR OF THE FBI but Trump...", so it's really a question of if he's actually doing what Comey wants or if he's pissing him off.

He just tells you what every other republican is too chickenshit to tell you. He literally said that his baseline for this budget is based on having compassion for the people who pay taxes (rich people) and not having compassion for people who use the services (poors and middle class.). That is what they all think... At least he isn't hiding it.

I mean Trump could at least string words together circa 2000 or so when he would have met Melania. Even if his thoughts were about as oafish as nowadays, he was far better at presenting them. Then it was just a steady downhill climb until today when he sounds like he's been eating paint chips.

Comey hasn't said anything publicly because that make would him look less believable when he does testify on record. It's a pretty common practice to have a 'friend' talk to the press as a proxy. I guess he could have been paid for his interview, but I doubt a friend of Comey's would burn that bridge for a couple of minutes in the spotlight. On the list of bridges not to burn: #1 former head of FBI.

There's a high likelihood that this is THE GUY (or one of THE PEOPLE) Comey chose to share the most secret non-classified stuff with ON THE EXPECTATION THAT HE COULD SAY IT PUBLICLY WHEN COMEY CAN'T. Look at the guy's career and record, he's unimpeachable. Nobody can slander him and say he's making up Comey poo poo. That's why he's the guy telling the public what they need to know, without breaking the law.

So this is interesting:quote:But now, Alexander is trying to sell his colleagues on a two-step process that includes using the fiscal 2017 reconciliation instructions to pass short-term market stabilization measures, effectively delaying any major repeal efforts. He recognizes, however, that obtaining support for such an approach could be an uphill battle. http://www.rollcall.com/news/policy/republican-senator-seeks-to-save-obamacare-before-dismantling-it#undefined.uxfs The GOP gets a limited number of reconciliation bills, I think only two. Currently, the plan is 2017 = gutting Obamacare, 2018 = tax cuts/tax reform. If they actually wind up using the 2017 bill on anything but those two, then you're out a reconciliation bill and have only one bill left: do you repeal Obamacare, or do you cut taxes? I believe that the 2017 bill expires at the end of the 2017 fiscal year, sometime in September, so they have to pull the trigger before then. I am skeptical, as always, of Republicans doing anything good like stabilizing the insurance markets (from Republican sabotage) but its really interesting they're already laying the groundwork to use the 2017 bill on something else because of how much that fucks up their legislative plans.
