AhhYes posted:Me either. The best I can come up with is: If this is supposed to happen, why lie to the FBI about it? He lied to cover his own rear end. He broke the rules during the transition time. I guess the reason to be excited is that Mueller didnt simply throw his rear end in jail but wants to use him for a witness. The question is for what?

More importantly, as hasn't been discussed a ton. You don't generally call up the Russian ambassador making urgent demands unless you have built a trusted relationship already or are offering some SERIOUS quid pro quo.

Is this the last reconciliation vote the Republicans get before the 116th Congress, or do they get to use one during the lame-duck session? Also, can't they defund Social Security and/or Medicaid with said reconciliation vote if they have it? Edit: Just realized the lame-duck session question doesn't make sense, because Congressional sessions start and end with the calendar year, unlike Presidential terms.

Looking forward to the Mueller Time! video sequel but with The Shawshank Redemption and Jared as Hadley and Trump as Warden Norton. But seriously I was thinking about what would provide ultimate catharsis for me and it would probably be seeing Trump cry on live television.

I mean, if the only thing that happened was "please do not start a trade war a month before we can get into the office and fix everything, thank you" and nobody except Flynn lied about it, that would be fine and reasonable - not necessarily a policy decision I agree with, but a plausible one that Kislyak would be right to take seriously and pass up the line.

Their reconciliation vote for 2017 died a hilarious death, culminating in John McCain murdering it and Mitch McConnell live on CSPAN. pumpinglemma posted:No-one has ever cared about violations of the Logan Act. It would scream political prosecution, and they have far more severe things to go after him on. Yeah it's very much in a "well technically" bucket, although it would be funny to see someone plead down to it and set a weird precedent.

Casey Finnigan posted:"The covetous" and "lovers of wealth" in this instance refer to poor people. Yuuuuuuup, that's exactly what he means. The Bible is basically a big "You people need to know your place under the feet of the powerful" book. "Don't make waves and be humble and quiet and don't kill the people keeping you down and literally trying to starve you to death and you'll be rewarded after you die!!" Edgelord I know but honestly what other take away is there, especially when the rich and powerful use the words to chastise the poor for getting mad that the rich and powerful are currently making moves to be even more rich and powerful at the expense of the poor? I'm playing catch up on the thread and sometimes it's magical to read all the speculation that comes right before a bombshell. Pages of "Oh poo poo is Flynn flipping??????" is so sweet knowing that he's going to!

The Russia thread is now 100 pages, it begin two days before Comey's firing, and its interesting to read seven months of "This will never come to anything" and goalpost shifting.

substitute posted:Happy #WorldAIDSDay everyone! Just a reminder why this is important right now: From WaPo: Michael Gerson posted:For the first time since early in the American AIDS response, a fundamental change in approach is being debated. In its 2018 budget, the Trump administration proposes an $800 million cut in America’s bilateral HIV/AIDS programs (along with a $225 million cut for the Global Fund). The State Department, in turn, has written a new AIDS strategy to reflect this lower level of funding. Resources would be concentrated on 13 “priority” countries, while current levels of treatment would be maintained in other places. Neither South Africa nor Nigeria — which together have about a quarter of AIDS cases in the world — would be in the “priority” category.

What the hell is wrong with the NSA? https://twitter.com/adamgoldmanNYT/status/936694886476247041 "Mr. Pho took the classified documents home to help him rewrite his resume. But he had installed on his home computer antivirus software made by Kaspersky Lab, a top Russian software company, and Russian hackers are believed to have exploited the software to steal the documents, the officials said."

Not really, but the more stuff you add to the tax bill the more likely it is to be either too evil for the diminished-but-relevant moderate wing, or not evil enough for the House Freedom Caucus lunatics.

I'm talking about the "entitlement reform" they're already tying on their bibs for. They can't pass it on a bare majority during the 115th Congress, unless I'm mistaken.
