evilmiera posted:If you ask someone: Which party is more likely to try to cut Medicaid and similar programs the answer will always be the GOP. For someone who worked all his life he sure doesn't seem like he was alive during the tenure of any Republicans. It doesn't matter. Some people are so incredible self-focused and tribalistic that they earnestly believe since Trump espouses many of their views that he will additionally protect them, personally, from any fallout due to those views. Trade war with China that threatens to murder US economy? Trump will bring back American manufacturing and tariffs and reopen all our factories! Gutting health care? He'll single out my policy and protect/subsidize it, because he'll know I'm one of the good ones! They believe they elected some kind of White Working Class Santa Claus, with his naughty and nice list and cadre of magical elves who'll MAGA. It's about a tossup whether the realization this is not the case will sink in before they die.

It's not important for every person in the support apparatus of a large organization to understand the grand scheme. The EPA is highly effective and some employee "not understanding" does not hinder that. Also, you're moving goalposts.

Radish posted:Like leftist outrage about her aside, what possible benefit does she give to Democrats by sticking around? At the very best she's the most polarizing figure to motivate Republicans to freak out and even politically neutral people don't seem to like her much. You know I'm about has hard left as they come but the Hillary hate is really annoying to me. Sure she's flawed, sure she's a DLC flunky but her heart has always been in the right place. She's a woman who whatever her faults dedicated her life to the service and betterment of others. Yeah she didn't do it perfectly and I will always hold her vote for Iraq War Resolution against her, but enough already. She's not running again. She just cares about the country and the people and so she's going to continue to do what she always did and speak out and act. I'm not going to fault her for that. And you know what. She's right about a lot of this poo poo if you actually put your Hillary hate away for a minute and pay attention. While I doubt that this Covfefe poo poo is some sort of 3 dimensional chess move and it's far more likely that it was a simple typo and accident,. the reality is that it's chewed up an entire news cycle, everyone has spent the day going on and on about this Covfefe poo poo like it matters in any way shape of form. So while Trump and his cronies may not have planned for this they sure as gently caress took advantage of it. Time chewed up on literal loving nonsense rather than discussing the systematic dismantling of decades of progress on social and ecological issues. While Trump may not be the genius he thinks he is. The reality is that the people who put him in power are not all bumbling idiots. Even the Russian poo poo is mainly functioning as a distraction to the nefarious crap these assholes are actively engaging in broad daylight. Oh and for what it's worth, Clinton was trying to call Trump out on the Russian poo poo during the election too but for some reason (sexism most likely) it was ignored while everyone went crazy about her emails. Hillary didn't lose the election, we all did. So stop acting like she is solely responsible for this poo poo.

I worked with EPA, DOT-PHMSA, and BLM folks in my past job (pipeline right-of-way & material contract leasing) and at least in my experience the practice is: state level employees do all the initial legwork, feed that info to the Feds, and then Feds levy a heavy fine after their own investigation. If your experience with EPA is lackluster then y'all should probably blame your state level employees that look the other way.

The article isn't very clear on it, but did Nunes sign off on these or not? My understanding is the committee had these ready to go and was just waiting for Nunes to sign off, being head of the committee and all.

Senate Intelligence Committee has already subpoenaed Flynn, and is getting some cooperation from him. I think they haven't subpoenaed Cohen yet, but the House Intelligence Committee still has Nunes hanging around so I wouldn't expect much out of Cohen until the Senate committee issues one.
