I bet the reason we found out about the indictments at all is because Boente reported up the chain that they were coming which led to the subsequent shitcanning and leak to the media. Nothing has leaked before. This news comes out immediately after Sessions fires the guy that signed off on it. The moment something hits Sessions desk we learn about it.

Apparently a lot of Republican committee heads in the house are retiring this year. Like a lot. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...m=.e9a5b8447c6b Most of them are doing so because their term limit is up and they're scared of being just another face in the crowd if they lose control of the house next year.

Ceiling fan posted:The no healthcare thing is the only part that bothers me. He didn't roll over under tourtre and made genuine attempts to escape. He met those obligations, and I think he's owed healthcare support for it. That's beside the point that the Army took his warm body even though the Coast Guard knew he shouldn't have gone in. That's where I'm at too. He's an idiot, but he was tortured pretty badly and probably is going to need long term care (mental and physical) to deal with that. Otherwise fine with a big chicken dinner.

The judge didn't comment other than to announce the sentence. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/10/30/us/bowe-bergdahl-search-attack.html I stand corrected, it wasn't in the sentencing, it was an earlier statement: quote:“I will consider the president’s comments as mitigation evidence as I arrive at an appropriate sentence,” the judge, Col. Jeffery R. Nance of the Army, said during a hearing at Fort Bragg. The judge is expected to sentence Sergeant Bergdahl in the next few weeks.

Another way to look at the house resolution is 'how much of a trumpster are you REALLY'. If you're still onboard the trump train you'll sign it. When nobody touches it, not only will Trump's already weak power in the house evaporate some more, but it'll be a signal fire to moderate/establishment republicans that are deciding how hard to push against the administration.

The Eastern District of VA already had a grand jury up and running that E.D.Va prosecutors were already using for similar purposes when Mueller was appointed, which Mueller also used. Mueller also began using a grand jury in the DC district in July.

I LOVE COCK SALAD posted:gently caress helicopters. The thing is, helicopters are different from planes. An airplane by it's nature wants to fly, and if not interfered with too strongly by unusual events or by a deliberately incompetent pilot, it will fly. A helicopter does not want to fly. It is maintained in the air by a variety of forces and controls working in opposition to each other, and if there is any disturbance in this delicate balance the helicopter stops flying immediately and disastrously. There is no such thing as a gliding helicopter. This is why being a helicopter pilot is so different from being an airplane pilot and why, in general, airplane pilots are open, clear eyed, buoyant extroverts, and helicopter pilots are brooders, introspective anticipators of trouble. They know that if something bad has not happened, it is about to. Harry Reasoner, February 16, 1971 ABC Evening News during the Viet Nam War

I want the dems to play gently caress gently caress games and sign that discharge petition to get it on the floor. Make motherfuckers sign their name on to the loyalty tests and split the Republicans. This isn't house of cards tho, so it would be dumber than anything I can imagine or fizzle out when the piss tape gets released.

http://thehill.com/policy/energy-environment/358655-federal-report-blames-humans-for-global-warming-and-its-effects https://science2017.globalchange.gov/ The final version of that federally-funded climate change study came out. Pretty much the same stuff that was in the draft version from August, but still worth a read before someone in Washington wakes up and makes them take it down. Or maybe not! From the article: quote:Fahey told reporters that there was no political interference in the assessment released Friday, though he conceded that some on the team had feared it would happen. On the other hand, this report was the brainchild of NASA, NOAA and the Department of Energy. The administrator seats for NASA and NOAA are still empty and DoE is headed by Rick Perry, so maybe just nobody in the administration was tracking this report or realized they could interfere?

If they put people like Pruitt in charge of other agencies then it doesn't matter. We recently just dodged a bullet of Clovis being a chief science officer despite not even being a scientist, so expect more of that to happen.

MAY 2018, OVAL OFFICE, DAY PAUL RYAN enters to meet with DONALD TRUMP RYAN: "What can I do for you Mr. President?" TRUMP: "Sit right here Paul, right in the big chair." RYAN: "Oh wow, really? You think I'm ready?" TRUMP: "Absolutely. You can be the President for the next fifteen minutes while I run out to get a pack of smokes. You...you be a good boy now." TRUMP pats RYAN on the head fatherly, and walks out.
