Chilichimp posted:Try to binge it, it works really well if the previous episodes are fresh in your mind (kind of why the show failed). you also need to get a few episodes in before it starts getting really good, the style of humor is very unique and takes a little getting used to. not that the first few episodes are bad - they're great - but they're much better once you start to get it. basically, a lot of the jokes are set up as punchline, joke rather than the other way around.

Alter Ego posted:If nothing mattered, there would be no Senate or House investigation, Comey and Sessions wouldn't be getting hauled before the Intelligence Committee, and Trump's approval rating wouldn't be like 30%. Yeah but if they just cancel public hearings and investigations, whats left? What consequences are there between now and the election?because if there isnt anything until the midterms i'm starting to be worried of the idea of a republican party that know they're doomed and decide they have nothing to lose.

Richard Burr loves holding Public hearings that cause Trump great mental distress.

Canceling public hearings would probably cause them to lose the Senate in 2018, an outcome they're not prepared to countenance just to save Trump's bloated carcass.

Pretty all lawsuits are contingent upon the judge allowing them to proceed because the firs thing the sued person is going to do is move to have the case dismissed. Shifty Pony posted:Is there a particular news story you are getting that from? Pretty all lawsuits are contingent upon the judge allowing them to proceed because the firs thing the sued person is going to do is move to have the case dismissed. The first part is generally true in suits against the president, but for most run of the mill lawsuits. The injury in fact is probably easier for the states to develop, but they'll still have to show its redressable and also not a political question. Plenty of grounds to punt on Like, how do you make third parties stop staying at trump hotels? Even if you forcibly divest trump himself, he still knows his family will profit

SocketWrench posted:No it won't. It'll get the shooter arrested, his house, family and himself rioted against, and feed the republican persecution complex. In the end all it'll do is justify Republicans being more violent in their eyes That's going to happen anyway. If you lay down politely in the street and offer your throat for stomping, Fox News will run a story about how a liberal terrorist shredded some poor nazi's knuckles with his teeth, then got blood and brain matter all over the nice young lad's brand new jackboots. The fact that some of you still cling to this ridiculous illusion of bipartisanship is nothing short of astounding.

Spiritus Nox posted:Trump will probably fire Mueller and the GOP definitely won't give a flying poo poo. It would be dangerous if the fascists walk away from firing Mueller without severe consequences. Republicans must know that voter suppression and the favorable nature of electoral systems, won't be enough for them to stay in the political game as is. A significant fraction of them surely prefer a Russia style managed democracy over a democracy where whites are no longer a dominant political group.
