KickerOfMice posted:Here's the whole thing- This was actually a key thing with the Saturday Night Massacre. A Federal judge ruled fairly quickly after the firing of the special investigator that it had been done illegally. That eventually set Nixon up for the (much later) 1st Article of Impeachment brought agains him for obstruction. enraged_camel posted:Most people are selfishly obsessed with their own pitiful lives to actually care too much about that kind of stuff.

And they're Machiavelli compared to these idiots. Petr posted:If you actually believe this, you need to get off the Internet for a while. Most Americans have no idea who Mueller is.

Mokelumne Trekka posted:Alt right is calling on Sessions to resign and be replaced so Mueller can be fired by the replacement. Not sure I understand. Can't Trump directly fire Mueller? The funny thing is this doesn't work. See, Rosenstein would be acting AG and they would need to wait for the senate to confirm a replacement. The question would be asked and every Republican would then need to decide if they are okay with it. They will be, of course, but it's also an election year soon. They will have to do it with voter's eyes on them. Then, when it happens. Muller will go public like the post-Saturday Night Massacre. Pressure will be put on congress to act: impeach or, at the least, reinstate. They will likely lose enough seats where it no longer is the Republican's decision in 2018 with coverage like that. Democrats would overturn every election 500%. With a flipped house and a senate majority, Trump would either be impeached, resigned, or Muller would be back in: all bad for Trump. Trump is hosed and no "20 dimensional dungeons and dragons" will save him. The Alt-right are actually helping us by shooting themselves in the foot: Jeff Session's is competently evil and is able to hide racist policy as "strict interpretation of the law" to do it quietly. Trump's new lackey would open every sentence with "n*gger, n*gger, n*gger, kill all them n*ggers, cops, do it!" (not literally) and make another avenue to attack the administration and, likely, fail at doing anything evil, possibly even insulating us from future evil. So, basically...gently caress Trump, gently caress Sessions, gently caress the Alt-Right, gently caress Republicans, gently caress conservatism.

Apropos of nothing, did anyone ever find out who the white house visitor that signed in a bunch of times a few months back using the name of a dead bodybuilder was? I don't know what made me think of it and Google isn't being friendly. Off topic and small time, I know...

Shimrra Jamaane posted:Who was the Goon involved in the Virginia gubernatorial race? I literally can't remember his name because I'm stupid. Hi friend. I was pretty angry this morning, and then I decided gently caress it. Gillespie at the helm with all branches of government in GOP Control is still the nightmare scenario. Northam showed me what he was today. It annoys me. I’m gonna fight to get this stupid rear end in a top hat elected anyway. Honestly, it was never about hearts and minds. It’s about turnout. And nobody is running with Northam capitulating. They’re too busy staring at taxes and Russia. Works just fine for me here in Virginia. NoVA Goons: let’s finish this god damned thing. Non-NoVA Goons: let’s blow up the phones until nobody can think. We’ve still got a House of Delegates we can fill with real, proper progressives - Danica Roem, Hala Ayala, John Bell, Kathy Tran, David Reid - and that’s just the north! If we can make any inroads at all, we don’t become North Carolina. If we lose a seat, here come the transvaginal ultrasounds. It’s gonna be chill, if and only if the work gets done.

spunkshui posted:A republican has already been shot by an angry voter. Yeah, but that's not the same as riots happening. I think there's a good chance that more attacks on Republicans will happen, but I just don't see the general public getting into a huge uproar over Mueller getting fired when most Americans don't know who he is or why he's important.

I think the average person just wants to go back to only having to really think about politics every 2-4 years. It's become glaringly obvious that things will never be "normal" under this administration, so they have to keep thinking about it. I think that if a new administration meant something of a return to normalcy most people would be all over it I can't imagine just how loving embarrassing it must be to be a Trump supporter at this point, and I say that as someone who's done a lot of dumb poo poo. Though I suppose that ship probably sailed a long time ago for them

spunkshui posted:A republican has already been shot by an angry voter. Said angry voter got shot dead on the spot and after that nothing... nothing happened. It's a positive note that nobody was really persecuted over it, but several lobbyists getting shot along with Diet David Duke getting his rear end blown the gently caress apart with the entire country virtually shrugging the whole thing off is nothing short of amazing.

ZobarStyl posted:Agreed, to believe Painter's theory you have to completely ignore Sessions' stammering lies in response to Al Franken's relatively simple question about Russia recusal. That dumb gently caress wrote his guilt all over his hideous apple cheeks and then answered a completely different question in a now very incriminating manner. In order to buy into the "fix is in" narrative you'd have to believe the players in The Stupidest Possible Watergate both planned this poo poo all in advance and managed to bungle the entire shitshow from day one. I'm reading painter's theory as Trump throwing Sessions under the bus and trying to pin all the blame on him, not as a defense of sessions' innocence.

NmareBfly posted:FWIW I'm canvassing in Charlottesville on Saturday. Every little bit helps. Thanks for all your hard work. CVille has to be in the mood for movement. After August, even some of the most dedicated, chill activists I know picked up the black loving flag. We’ve needed this campaign, and needed it badly. The Bernie-lifers? gently caress em. They used the pamphlet thing with Fairfax as a reason to never do anything, because they’d rather be inactive, internally correct, and watch their world decline instead of beat back these god damned wolves. And make no mistake: they are wolves. People like my brother will suffer, the whole drat interstate will get sold off by the foot, and god forbid these fucks try to make the tiki torches into a regular thing. That Latino Victory Fund ad was spot on, and they only bitched because it was more on the nose than a neti pot. People tried to be brave for an establishment Democrat, and they got rewarded for it by disavowal and a straight up policy reversal. My hope is that Fairfax runs in 2021 and goes to war. NoVA might have defense contract centrists for days, but they show the gently caress up when it counts, and I love them for it. So you and me, motherfucker. Let’s win this loving state. To arms, baby. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FkCUREHnpyo
