The part I'm smiling about (in addition to everything else) is that Trump signed the Executive Order yesterday granting Federal employees Christmas Eve off, and I work for a section of the government that's already funded, so we got the email saying "pay no mind to a shutdown, just keep working." Glad Trump decided to have a tantrum after giving me a free holiday!

Could Whitaker shut down the Mueller investigation, then step down and bring in another AG? Would there be anything preventing that other than optics?

Your Taint posted:And what exactly do we have to base that argument on? What past behavior have Dems showed that proved they won't blink here? why is it, in your head, that we are at the tail end of this congressional session with no wall money, mitch mcconnell and paul ryan just tried to pass a CR with no wall money, and everyone with an ounce of strategy sense in the republican party convinced trump to sign that CR (though obviously, that didn't take) is it that none of those republicans realized this obvious truth that democrats always cave when republicans try to force a shutdown to get policy concessions they can't get otherwise, despite it literally never happening before?

Saudi Arabia just announced a massive budget for oil production next year. Coupled with the heart attack that the Dow is currently experiencing, oil prices just took a huge hit.

Of course, no matter what nonsense Trump spews, there's always going to be some media pundit who'll say it "plays well with his base": https://twitter.com/maggieNYT/status/1075834342058934278

The picture CNN is using for the "looming shutdown" story of Trump folding his arms and making a pouty face like a big baby is next to godliness. Like all the thoughts going through my mind about it. How did they get that photo? Did he pose for it? Did he think it makes him look tough and not like they need to get him a bib or something?

evilweasel posted:basically ryan talked tons about math and showed people tons of pages of math and people were like "he must understand math" "Mr. Speaker, we keep seeing the number 80085 in here, can you please explain?" lmao all that brown-nosing and he still gets slapped with a newspaper. Your Taint posted:And what exactly do we have to base that argument on? What past behavior have Dems showed that proved they won't blink here? There's nothing for them to blink at. What the Senate has already signed off on is the only thing that has a prayer of passing because most of the Senate has already gone home.

mdemone posted:how are you going to ensure their vote submission isn't hijacked, either actively (by a middle-man intruder) or passively (if the member allows their staff to vote for them). Videoconference with roll call, using standard equipment connected over a VPN. It would be quite doable in a secure manner, but do you think Congress is ever going to voluntarily put themselves on call for votes?

PhazonLink posted:why is it a feature and not a bug in the yool 2018 with telecom tech that allows basically real time voting from anywhere on earth our public servants still need to be in a specific physical building to vote? theoretically you could argue that the structure of the constitution mandates in-person votes via the quorum clause. in practice, because legislatures tend to be very traditional and resistant to change, especially the Senate

Fritz Coldcockin posted:And nothing Chuck Schumer has said so far has even remotely indicated he's willing to agree to any kind of deal that includes a penny for that loving wall. If he does an about face, I'm more than happy to eat crow--but he and Pelosi are just having fun watching the Republicans repeatedly punch themselves in the crotch. This seems a bit like Schumer twisting the knife over the whole "I offered money for your wall if you'd have protected the DREAMers but you rejected that so gently caress you"
