Zoro posted:MSNBC is reporting that Don Brazile's book is splitting democrats in Virginia and suppressing turnout. Their current prediction is Gillespie wins the race tomorrow. No; it means that for whatever mechanisms that it took to eke out a majority in the House, cannot be used in the Senate. This bill was already held back one day, and the only reason to do that would be because they didn't have agreement with enough votes. The Senate will have to be less generous in its tax breaks or find new revenues, which is the hardest part in any tax reform.

Zoro posted:Could just be them trying to get ratings, but they reported on it and had a round table and, essentially, had a roundtable that could be summarized as "Don Brazile is a bitch." Were they reporting on it or was there some talking head that said that which then translated into the round table? Because these are not the same things.

Outside of the junkie class - this thread, the closed FB groups, so on - I don’t think people give a drat. They’re gonna vote for their side. Here have a relevant song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n2RDdr_SEB0 (This whole album is probably the most relevant album of the last two years and required listening)

I am thinking that it being a dispute between neighbors might be more than about leaves or something. And the fact that Rand Paul has kept quiet about it makes me think that he does want it to go away. ...which makes me think maybe there was an affair, seduction, or attempt at the same by somebody involved? Like maybe Rand Paul was having affair with this guy's wife?

The idiots within the DNC needs to get their poo poo together in a hurry. I don't think a statistical amount of people care about that book (knock on wood), but the fact that she is pushing this poo poo right before an election to make some cash is loving outrageous. I'm fine with determining if there is corruption within the DNC, but let's not do it a week before it could make a big influence on a four year decision in a naked money grab. It really seems like everyone in that group is only concerned with their own jobs or making money for themselves and protecting people from Republican rule second.

Yeah it's a ratings grab, that's what they do, that's what they all do, if talking heads didn't do that we would have cannibalized them all and tossed their bones to the dogs a long time ago. There are reasons Northam could lose but the book angle is furiously stupid. Cool!

When you get down to it the plan is just crazy enough to work. Plan: 00. Invade Iraq and gently caress things up 0. Syria/ISIS Clusterfuck 1. Have Traitor NSA gently caress the Kurds 2. Collapse the largest power (SA) in the middle east into decades of palace infighting and possibly civil war. 3. Piss off second largest power (Iran) 4. Invoke the power of the Orb 5. Peace in Middle East

Isn't this new King trying to make reforms in SA? I know they're moving away from being completely dependent on oil and they had to rush around appeasing various factions to avoid their own Arab Spring. The current system isn't really sustainable. Do we know if this purge is actually a bad thing? It's violent, but if you want non-violent consolidations of power you need a parliament, not a kingdom.

Pretty sure mass arrests of people with no due process is a bad thing no matter what. If the guys have been doing 'bad things' then arrest and charge them. But this looks more like a "I've hosed up and I want to make sure daddy doesn't can me so I'm going to purge all potential rivals" thing

I hope Brazile's book doesn't depress Democratic turnout, because Gillespie really is that much worse than Northam, but still, lol at the implication that this will be the thing that sinks Northam. If his candidacy dies, it will be from self-inflicted wounds.

Data Graham posted:I must be dumb because I don’t get what’s so scandalous or inherently funny about that “milking” comment. Is he making some bizarre joke about how the KSA oppresses women?

The Civil Service in SA is absolutely massive and horribly inefficient because of this. Krispy Wafer fucked around with this message at 01:22 on Nov 7, 2017 |
