Teddybear posted:This is the stupidest poo poo, and yet this is the only way that this could end up. Of course he was going to throw a tantrum the day before the deadline and whine about it. Of course Ryan was going to meekly acquiesce on his way out the door. Of course. If we aren’t restarted at that point a restart gets even harder as there House and Senate are no longer under allied management

Cabbit posted:Isn't that going to blow up in his face when Trump realizes 'his guy' isn't doing what he wanted and axes him? He'll be able to ride out for a while as trump gets distracted by other random poo poo. And even if he gets canned, he'll have a fairly decent chance at something down the road because he'll be able to say "look trump stuck me in this spot and I didn't immediately go abuse my power and was reasonable". If he goes all-in on trump he is seeing how that is playing out for everyone else. He'd get under 2 years before being completely done in any sort of official job.

NewMars posted:They are going to run off with so much money. I can only wonder what excuses they'll come up with to not give it back. They're going to have the best of intentions but be so inept and naive that they'll lose it all to grifters if they somehow don't manage to break enough laws themselves to lose it without help.

Crow Jane posted:When I was a kid, my grandpa randomly bought a little boy mannequin from a store that was going out of business, set him up in the guest bedroom, and told my brothers, cousins and I that it was his new son, Tadeusz Jr, and he loved it more than us. To which we responded by drawing on it with markers, giving it an awful haircut, throwing it down the stairs, etc. We thought it was just grandpa being weird, but a few times I looked over at him while we were abusing the thing, and he looked genuinely sad, which made me feel bad.

I disagree with him because it appears like the Russians know whats up. Also amusing that in order to do such a good job of manipulating the black vote they probably have a better idea of black american culture than most republicans.

ezra klein's mea culpa over being hookwinked by ryan was so loving dumb. you can't believe what ryan believes and be a "wonk". the guy got turned into a libertarian by a college professor. he was only able to afford college thanks to social security survivor benefits. he was always an unserious dullard.
