There Bias Two posted:So is it totally dead now? I doubt the Supreme Court will wish to hear it. There's already a petition for the Supreme Court to review the 4th Circuit's decision. This decision makes it very slightly more likely they don't review it (if the 9th Circuit had reversed, that would have created a circuit split virtually requiring Supreme Court review) but it was already viewed as extremely likely they were going to take the case.

Owlofcreamcheese posted:Old people often eat weird food because they basically came from another culture and then got hosed up sensory nerves by being old. Like how old people always like boiled/steamed greens and no one under 60 does. It's 50% cultural shift that people can eat fresh greens all year long now so they don't make due with cans of muck and then old people mouths not being able to taste how awful and bitter canned steamed greens are compared to just buying fresh baby spinach or something like a modern person. You can boil your own fresh collards. They're good.

9th Circuit decision: http://cdn.ca9.uscourts.gov/datastore/opinions/2017/06/12/17-15589.pdf hilarious aside: the 9th circuit holds that tweets are official statements from the President: https://twitter.com/rickhasen/status/874311983192981504 also, the 9th circuit calls trump's bluff that "but the injunctions are preventing us from doing our review which is why we still need the ban even though it was supposed to expire!!!!!"

Forest for the trees, etc. the district is pretty republican, it's just not the kind of republican that likes trump. this is more about distaste of trump breaking away the softer edges of the republican voter base, especially moderates and status quo business types who are nervous about trump loving with trade like a jackass. that's absolutely something the dems need to figure out before the midterms, and this isn't the time or place to complain about the dems not being socialists

The Glumslinger posted:Also, vegetables taste good if you cook them correctly and don't just boil em to they turn grey sure, vegetables can taste good. but people generally dont like eating a vegetable heavy diet because they're not as tasty as other foods. the grown up thing to do is eat other foods sparingly along with a larger proportion of vegetables in your diet it's amazing tho that trump is constantly surrounded by incredible chefs cooking incredible meals and he has some poor secret service jerkoff go to the mickey d's drive through to bring a happy meal on air force one

mcmagic posted:So why didn't the Democrats make Puerto Rico a state when they had 60 votes in 2009? Puerto Rico hadn't put in the request to join and there was no consensus on the island at the time. Since then there've been two nonbinding referendums that pointed toward statehood, as well as the economic freefall that could be slightly cushioned by statehood.

mcmagic posted:So why didn't the Democrats make Puerto Rico a state when they had 60 votes in 2009? Puerto Rico didn't ask. The citizens of Puerto Rico have been split between full independence/current status/full statehood for a while and no group has won a clear mandate for their approach so the status quo has just persisted. If there's a clear mandate for statehood then it becomes much easier. Better question to ask is why they didn't make Washington DC a state.

(Not criticism directed at you OP just a general observation, 'eat mostly veggies with some other stuff mixed in' is great advice) Wonder if there's some correlation between 'is a poo poo president' and diet. Bill Clinton's vegan nowadays eh?

Agenda item number 1 when they retake power and get rid of the filibuster should be to make both PR and DC states and boom, 4 more democratic senators.

Unzip and Attack posted:"The president can fire anyone he wants so it's not illegal or wrong in any way" will be the lockstep response. Well, and what they're already trying to establish, which is that the investigation is pointless because there was no collusion and Comey proved it when he said <citation needed>. But regardless it's all fake news and just a waste of valuable taxpayer money, and a distraction from the real issue of <whatever trump wants to do>.

I'm not a lawyer either and this is a big list of claims, so I'm not sure there is any sense in them suing over the china stuff. But stuff like the BLT hotel and the event center has a really direct "trump owns a thing, the state owns a thing, they are competitors, people said they picked trump's because he is president and trump also said that" which seems very direct 1-2-3 for why it's in the state's interest to sue directly on it and that he is openly using his position to earn money.

What this means is that Democrats are successfully getting the wealthy whites who liked Republicans but hated Trump to vote Democratic. Which is extremely handy for 2018 because it suggests that the assumptions that the 2010 gerrymandering were built on may no longer be true - poor whites migrating to the Republican party, rich white migrating to the Democratic party. Even if it's a wash, the change makes the gerrymander less effective and means that Democrats may have a better chance to get the majority - because Democratic voters were previously packed into heavily Democratic districts, so some defections there probably doesn't matter, but Republican voters were stretched into moderately Republican districts making it easier to swing them.
