If I were Joe Biden I would legally changed my last name to "I Guess" and then apathetic or undecided voters in both the primary and general would probably vote for "Joe Biden I Guess"

KillHour posted:It's actually kind of crazy that our bodies have no way to detect a lack of oxygen in our blood. Evolution just went "Eh, good enough" with CO2. Same reason it's so easy to die of carbon monoxide poisoning - it binds to hemoglobin more readily than O2, and your body doesn't notice. IIRC humans are also one of the only animals with this fluke too. It's really weird

So how long until Trump wants to start doubling and tripling up the duties of the people he still has on and attempts to have them fill multiple appointments at once? Demanding increased productivity out of a smaller pool of labor would be running like a business after all

Fintilgin posted:Yeah, which is interesting, because we too had the 'native ancestor' legend (my great-great grandfather, I guess), from a specific reservation/area. Ok, legend is generous. Mom didn't even tell me about until I was in my twenties. I still thought... "lol, bullshit, everyone says that" Yeah possibly. Escaped slave would've registered as some flavor African Native might give you 'unknown' (though that's one hell of a high percentage of unknown and very intriguing if true, you might want to upload your results to gedmatch.com (its free!) and see what their calculators say.

Shifty Pony posted:I'm really not sure how you can slot "fired" into the act's requirements: I'm not at all familiar with the act, just that I know I read an article that people who were thought it might not apply if the person was fired. But since I'm not that familiar with it I didn't want to take a position, just flag it as an issue. Z. Autobahn posted:Sorry, I think I'm missing something dumb: why wouldn't he need a new senate hearing for AG and SOS? The idea is he would appoint a different cabinet secretary to be "acting head" just like Mulvaney is "acting head" of the CFPB, then get around to nominating someone a year from now after the flunky squash the Mueller investigation. But it's unclear, as Shifty Pony points out, if he can do that when he fires the AG.

Z. Autobahn posted:Sorry, I think I'm missing something dumb: why wouldn't he need a new senate hearing for AG and SOS? There is a law that allows trump to temporarily have a person who is in another, already senate approved position, run an agency if the previous agency head resigns, dies, or is "otherwise unable to perform the functions and duties of the office" (medical issues, etc). That's how Trump got Mulvaney in charge of the CFPB when the previous director resigned. Apparently the White House is floating around the theory that the last provision or the retirement provision would cover someone being fired. I don't buy it and it would be one hell of a legal battle.

He never said the thing you are quoting, and the closest thing you can find to him saying what you think he did basically boiled down to a legal argument of 'The 8th amendment doesn't cover this, try a different avenue if you are innocent,' which I disagree with but is still a drat sight different from the bullshit you are peddling. The man was enough of a monster without making up lies.
