evilweasel posted:is the whole new "steel slats" obsession a way to rebrand the chain-link fencing that exists as THE WALL or is there something else i'm missing Actually I believe it's just the new con. Large parts of the fence are basically that already aren't they? So I guess he'll just post a picture of some existing stretch...  ... and kickback the construction costs to some greased palm. "Look at the beautiful steel slats we just put in... hurrrr"

The stupid thing about it is that he's too fat to properly fold his arms, so I can only imagine the stress on his shoulders as he struggles to keep his arms like that.

evilweasel posted: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 That's an incredibly restrictive reading of the quorum clause (which I'm sure you know.) I've long argued that supporting changing the rules to allow members to vote securely from their home state/district office should be a campaign issue for any progressive candidate. It sucks balls that a random d.c. lobbyist has a better chance of seeing 30 reps on a weekday than I do of seeing mine. Move non-committee staff back home, give Congressmen a cubical and access to communal conference rooms. For added lols, make the Senators actually use their desks. It's a Republican thing to whine about how much they hate Washington anyway, I think they'd have a hard time defending the status quo under  .

I imagine this has been covered and will keep getting covered each time it comes up, but: 'essential' employees have received their back pay every time the government has shut down.

Autobahn posted:Does gofundme pay out even if the goal isn't met? Like did some dude just literally make 5 mil off this grift? Currently posting from work, otherwise I'd do some further research - because I've wondered from time to time over the years what the super seedy underbelly of the political donations/contributions business looks like. I did freelance work for a couple of years and was *shocked* at some of the scandalous things I'd see small businesses/business owners do, I can't even imagine what kind of insane schemes people have developed to take advantage of small political donations.

Chef Boyardeez Nuts posted:That's an incredibly restrictive reading of the quorum clause (which I'm sure you know.) The thing I'd worry about is fuckery with connections; what happens if a connection goes bad during a vote? Could a bad actor theoretically sabotage uplinks to make it so certain votes are blocked as a way to manipulate quorum, under the guise of a bad connection? I think there's a lot of issues that would need to be addressed, and I'm generally suspicious of tech solutions after seeing all the mayhem Russia has been able to wreak and all the IP China has been stealing.

The GFM faq says you can withdraw at any time. It’s okay though, the guy who started the go fund me has “contacted the trump administration about how to handle this” and he is totally “working with a lawyer to ensure money can only be used for the wall.”
