I don't think the turtle will allow a failed vote. If he finds out that he doesn't have 50+1, then he'll just reschedule the vote for February or something, so a reappointment won't be needed.

Merrick Garland taught me that appointments don't survive through a new Congress, though.

They don't, but he can be immediately renominated and rescheduled with no consequences. This only didn't happen with Garland because the incoming WH didn't do it.

Lmao forever if Whitaker agreed to be Trumps stooge only to take one look at the case Mueller has made and go “umm, never mind.”

It's not inconceivable. A few people have changed their tune once the evidence is shown. Though it's been pretty limited to congresspeople and senators for obvious reasons.

But seriously, yeah lmao forever if that's the case.

I had another thought about this whole thing: I *really* hope we get a book by Mueller about the investigation. Or someone who can speak to him about it.

Sure, the 43 hour Coen brothers movie will be good, but I'd really be interested in what Mueller would say on it.

Can someone explain why Trump cancelling with Putin might have something to do with Cohen's guilty plea? He's still going to G20, right? So he can't just use the time to sulk/get talking points together like he could have had he cancelled the whole trip.

he cancelled all other meetings too

his nominal reason for cancelling russia was their actions against ukraine, but the white house has been completely silent about it and won't even publicly condemn them, so it was unbelieveable. however, there weren't even nominal reasons for cancelling the meetings with Erdogan and Moon

U.S. women earn half the income of men, new study finds

quote:

Women earned roughly half the income of men in the United States over a 15-year period, taking into account time off for family or child care, according to a report released on Wednesday, which found the pay gap is far greater than has been assumed.

In an examination of women's income from 2001 to 2015, the Washington-based Institute for Women's Policy Research found that women's income was 51 percent less than men's earnings, which includes time with no income.

"Much ink has been spilled debating whether the commonly cited measure of the wage gap - that women earn 80 cents for every dollar earned by a man - is an exaggeration due to occupational differences or so-called 'women's choices'," Heidi Hartmann, president of the institute and a co-author of the study, said in a statement.

"But our analysis finds that we have actually been underestimating the extent of pay inequality in the labor market," Hartmann said.
