Rigel posted:well, except they have to pass something during the lame duck to avoid a shutdown and the GOP might also need flake's vote for judges. as far as i know, it is not attached to the omnibus spending bill, which is like the only way you could force them to actually vote for it they can get flake's vote by just putting the separate bill up for a vote in the senate and letting it die in the house

Rigel posted:Looks like we may have another PR statehood vote soon. The house GOP agreed to a very simple yes/no one-question vote on statehood so that all opponents (independence, status quo, that "free association" bullshit, something else) can all come together to vote no if they don't want statehood rather than boycotting the vote. I presume they are confident that the vote would fail because things could get awkward if PR unambiguously supported statehood with a high turnout. The GOP must have some strong polling info to agree to that (or anything else) but oh god if the GOP just pulled their own Brexit vote debacle, I will laugh my rear end off predicto fucked around with this message at 23:47 on Nov 27, 2018 |

Raju seriously hosed up the quote and is now trying to pretend he didn't. Schumer and the Dem position was zero increase on the already funded, general general line item in the budget for $1.6 billion. Note that PR politics is weird, inept, and corrupt in the way of "island politics" the world over (even if not as bad as in other places). Party positions there don't map onto conventional Liberal/Conservative Republican/Democrat positions. The governor is from the pro-statehood party and is registered as a Democrat, and his main PR legislative ally is a Republican. I have no idea what would occur in a statehood vote, but the last statehood vote was certain enough to be pro-statehood that the status quo party staged a boycott. Generally, expect a lot of shenanigans. Discendo Vox fucked around with this message at 00:18 on Nov 28, 2018 |

SimonCat posted:Do we know when the vote would be? Not to my knowledge; I believe this was an agreement in principle situation. The coverage of the ballot language makes me nervous; it looks like they're going to go straight up-and-down and overspecify statehood to try to cram the no vote.

Deteriorata posted:Nah, the wall is a useful bargaining chip. It would takes years to design and build, long after Trump is gone from office. Funding can be cut and the project canned at any point in the future. No, racist bullshit like the wall is a hill you should be willing to die on to oppose. Conceding that there is any basis for building that loving thing will make your population more racist in general.

Endymion FRS MK1 posted:...I still get the tax break right? I was going to buy a Volt at the end of winter I doubt he means it or has any power to do anything about it since it was passed as an act of congress. Either way, the tax break is set to expire after GM sells 200,000 EVs across its various marques, a point that Tesla may have already hit through its Model 3 pre-orders. https://www.chicagotribune.com/classified/automotive/fuelefficient/sc-auto-tips-0419-federal-ev-tax-credit-cut-20180413-story.html

Like... I know that's going to be a difficult case to make due to the circumstances, but this is conspiracy to obstruct justice, right? "Here's what I told investigators, here's what they think, let's keep our story straight"? Could explain why Mueller is willing to cut Manafort loose even without unimpeachable evidence, I guess.

"Here's what I told investigators, here's what they think, let's keep our story straight"? Just last night I was very dismissive of Marcy Wheeler's "Mueller knew that Manafort was communicating with Trump the entire time, and probably planned accordingly" theory and 24 hours later it's all-but confirmed.

I remember Bundy very distinctly thinking well of Latin American migrants because he personally hired and interacted with a bunch of them. Like most conservatives, they empathize only when they have personal experience in an issue.

The really amazing thing about Trump is that you never stop thinking "Our President is so loving stupid". Like, you keep thinking at some point, you'll just get used to it, but nope, there it is, good god, he's SO loving STUPID.

eke out posted:looks like corsi is now outright giving reporters the sample documents drafted during negotiations with Mueller I don't get what the defense strategy for this is (besides rank stupidity or hopelessness). I guess there is nothing in the emails about Stone, Corsi, Malloch or any other Trump affiliate directly ordering the Russians to hack the DNC or whatever. So they are going to go with "we just wanted the sweep scoop to dunk on Hilary?" Corsi deleted emails that Mueller now has, so he clearly didn't want anyone to find them. Why? I guess it is pretty obvious he is stupid.

Speaking of PR, Im almost afraid to ask but how has the recovery come along? The news really didnt cover it much even when it was happening let alone now.

Sanguinia posted:Can't be going too well if the Senate GOP thinks it's safe to put a State/No State vote on the table. The thing is that, pre-Trump, the Republicans tended to be more supportive of statehood than the Democrats, and the PNP (the Puerto Rican pro statehood party) tends to be the more right wing party. Ignoring for a minute the scope of the human tragedy the hurricane and the government's terrible response caused, it was just tremendously self defeating for Trump.
