as the world turns
Tomorrow is finally the GA-6 election between Ossoff (D) and Handel (R).

I've looked through a lot of stuff and the best analysis is summed up right here: https://twitter.com/PatrickRuffini/status/876955588978257924

You can scroll up for more, but the polling data, combined with special elections being hard to poll, adds up to a pure 50-50 race, maybe 55-45 in Ossoff's favor.

Ossoff also banned the Free Beacon from his final event and Handel banned ThinkProgress from her event. :cripes:

I'd love to see him get pardoned for a bunch of menial poo poo that you'd expect a 3-star friend of the president to be charged with, only for them to turn around and hit him with sedition.

What's he got to snitch about? Everything I've read on it was him being told to go gently caress himself sideways when he wanted immunity because they had it all without him. Is that just blind optimism clouding the issue?

Secondly, he does know he's talking to one Donald J Trump, right? Dude's not family he ain't getting poo poo. How can a stupid moron on the internet with enough brain damage to join the army have the pattern recognition to figure this out but not these people?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but if Flynn is pardoned then he HAS to testify on everything right?

Edit: not out out, but he's no longer going to be giving briefings. Taking the comms director position for now while they look for a replacement.

Don't think so. He'd get subpoenaed to testify in front of Congress, would tell Congress to go gently caress itself, then a toothless Contempt of Congress vote takes place. I say toothless because it's not like they're going to send the Sergeant-at-Arms to go arrest him.

It's sort of like how Donnie could've been 100% clean on Russia, but still get in trouble for obstruction down the line. Just because the underlying act has been pardoned doesn't mean that any future malfeasance is covered.

lol, Kennedy never thought anyone would formally, mathematically address the "Yes but can you prove disenfranchisement" door he left open. The court's conservatives are never going to tie the hands of Republican state commissions disenfranchising Democrats, so expect Kennedy to piss away the rest of his legacy signing on to an opinion of "IT'S NOT TECHNICALLY ILLEGAL BY THE PLAIN WORDING OF THE CONSTITUTION" written by Gorsuch.

He gazed up at the enormous bra. Nine deployments it had taken him to learn what kind of vulgarity was cloaked beneath the white fabric. O cruel, needless misunderstanding! O stubborn, self-willed exile from the loving breast! Two Franziskaner-scented tears trickled down the sides of his nose. But it was all right, everything was all right, the struggle was finished. He had won the victory over the desert. He had managed to make Al Udeid worse.

And now for something completely different
The Brexit negotiations started yesterday, I wonder if the UK crushed the EU negotiators like May prom- oh:

quote:

Brexit: UK caves in to EU demand to agree divorce bill before trade talks

On first day of Brexit negotiations chief EU negotiator makes clear Britain cannot dictate timing of negotiations

British negotiators have capitulated to key European demands for a phased approach to Brexit talks, agreeing to park discussions on free trade until they have thrashed out the cost of the multibillion-euro UK divorce settlement.

Putting a brave face on a concession that may further strengthen the tactical dominance of the EU, the Brexit secretary, David Davis, insisted his initial retreat remained consistent with long-term government strategy.
...
The chief EU negotiator, Michel Barnier, made clear that he believed Britain was in no position to dictate the timing of the negotiations.
“The UK has asked to leave the EU, not the other way around, so we each have to assume the consequences of our decisions and the consequences are substantial,” he replied, when asked if the EU was making any concessions of its own. “Please do not underestimate those consequences.

“We need to remain calm,” added the former French diplomat. “We are talking about orderly withdrawal first and that makes sense. It’s not something we are asking for in order to get concessions, it’s just a direct consequence of the UK decision.

“I am not in a frame of mind to make concessions or ask for concessions,” he said. “We are looking to unravel 43 years of patiently built relations.”
...
In contrast to well-rehearsed EU positions on issues such as the financial settlement and Irish borders, British officials admit they did not bring any prepared negotiating papers to share with their counterparts – insisting instead that their overall ambitions were made clear by the government’s white paper and Lancaster House speech. :wtf:

Everything's coming up Great Britain!
