That joke about the Trump admin being comic book villains come to life is unfortunately becoming quite accurate. :smith:

It's probably been mentioned previously in this thread, but Lex Luthor sold Luthor Corp when he became President because he respected the Emoluments Clause.

Trump is literally less-ethical than a fictional super villain.

He should wait and pre-empt the Super Bowl to talk about respecting the flag. Then we can have him impeached by the end of February at the latest.

Again, with every single weird and often random-seeming attack on the Democrats being revealed as projection when it turns out the Republicans were doing exactly that thing or worse, the "Pizzagate" accusation is an increasingly nauseating thing to consider.

With what the networks pay to air NFL games, they wouldn't cut to Trump unless he announced we just nuked North Korea or something.

Fred was on the grassy knoll, and he refused to release his medical records to cover up bleeding from his eyes and his wherever, and he was actually born in Kenya. That's about the only one's left, right?

This is going to backfire by Puerto Rico petitioning for statehood.

I'm a big supporter of Puerto Rico getting statehood and would happily welcome them join the union for non political reasons. They get less recognition than they deserve from the rest of the US.

gret posted:

Yeah eliminating deductions of local and state taxes will gently caress over blue states, which is probably intentional. Red parts of blue states will just serve as collateral damage to loving over liberals.

Not necessarily. Many random states have no income tax: FL, TX, WA, NV, WY, and SD. Only California really would get hosed hard. It would be a huge hand out to non property owning people in FL and TX but most red states have an income tax of 5-7%.

The main fear for Republicans is that hundreds of thousands of Puerto Ricans will move to Florida and push the state towards the Democrats. Republican leaders must be trying to think of a way to keep as many as possible on the island and away from key swing states.

Most PPV events do as well. And if you think 49.95 or 79.95 is expensive for viewing at home...

To add to what you said, "by capacity" usually means the number the Fire Marshall has set for max occupancy, not the real headcount for any given day.

They can petition all they want, but unfortunately, they aren't getting statehood with a Republican Congress. :(

If Republicans had any evil and nefarious sense they'd fast track Puerto Rico statehood and help them quickly rebuild. Then they can somewhat quarantine the brown people who can move like white people to places like Florida.

Or is PR population so much bigger than the vast empty land that is the bedrock of Republican representation that it over fucks them in Congress and the EC?

If PR was a state, it would be a reasonably large state. It would have about as many reps and electoral votes as Oregon.
