evilweasel posted:But you're not complaining about a shutdown: you're complaining about a continuing resolution. True, but here's the thing. Most of what gets hosed up in a shutdown is the good parts of DHS - which also get hosed up with a CR. The bad parts, CBP and stuff? They work on as normal during a shutdown or CR, and then Congress retroactively funds them later. Example: FEMA can't do disaster mitigation or most training in a CR, if I recall correctly. Those are key when it comes to FEMA, because they're how emergency management works with even the smallest degree of clue when they're in an actual emergency - they've practiced (in FEMA exercises) and trained (in FEMA courses). Not just talking hurricanes and stuff here, but house fires, gas leaks, all the stuff your local office of emergency management handles day to day.

why the gently caress are all these papers going along with calling it a perjury trap instead of calling it ‘what these morons believe to be a perjury trap’

Like, that's just straight-up "Trump and Cohen met with executive-level Russian officials about election concerns", right? Its not strictly speaking confirmation of collusion, but its a whole lot of thick black smoke and an orange glow.

There's nothing illegal (as far as we know at this point, anyway) about Trump building a hotel in Moscow. Continuing to pursue it during the campaign is a bit sketchy, though. Enough so that everyone involved felt like they needed to lie repeatedly to Congress about it. This confirms that they were lying, and Trump himself likely lied to Mueller about it in his written statements. This is all impeachable stuff on its own without even considering the collusion. Hence Trump is starting to freak out. Once we get to the seriously illegal money laundering and collusion stuff, he'll be stroking out on live TV.

They were also planning on just giving Putin that $50 mil condo which would be a gigantic loving breach of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (aka that law that saws it illegal to bribe foreign government officials). Giving Putin a 50 mil condo to help get your giant loving tower approved is one hell of a bribe

Taerkar posted:The real ones know he won't pay. This is true, but also the type of lawyers he need wouldn’t risk their career on it even if he was paying. Even if he paid $5 mil up front in cash for defense fees, would you risk your $1.5 mil per year partnership share for it? Reminds of the gay marriage legal cases. The anti gay marriage people couldn’t get high end attorneys because it wasn’t worth the reputation risks to attorneys and firms. Trump is like 1000000x more toxic at this point
