Riatsala posted:It's been my theory for a while that Pence has been deliberately insulated from Trump and his crimes to avoid the possibility of both going down with the ship simultaneously. I think Pence is keeping to the shadows at least in part because he realizes that the quickest way to get on Trump's poo poo-list is take any media attention away from Trump. There were reports about a year ago after Pence did a bit more public poo poo that Trump was starting to suspect he was gearing up to challenge him in some way.

Fritz Coldcockin posted:Except it's literally not possible. Donald Trump has no ability, short of literally violating posse comitatus and sending the military to seize every ballot and occupy polling places, to stop state election boards from holding elections. Yeah he doesn't have the backing of the military or intelligence agencies to do it, although if he tried that would still be a real existential crisis for the union (because I'm sure there are pockets of troops and chuds that would back him and revolt) More likely though the GOP just continues to rig elections and suppress voting rights to keep in power, with the courts and the Senate backing them up. Its gotten them through more serious threats to reactionary / conservative power over the past ~150 years (I.E. the civil rights movement and reconstruction)

i am harry posted:https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2019/jan/18/us-meat-poultry-recalls-nearly-double-since-2013 I have not previously heard of this report, and several of its claims are extremely questionable, rely on incomplete presentations of policy, and are intended to fearmonger. Take it with a block of salt. In particular, notice that the same organization is cited in the seemingly separate wood in chicken reporting. They're doing a PR push. USDA inspection systems, especially involving meat, are generally of the highest standard. It's a weird situation where regulated industry is comfortable with strenuous regulation because a loss of public faith in the food supply would be so devastating to profits.

Unzip and Attack posted:IMO it's all about a trend forming. If he dips to 34% then rises back up in a few weeks then it really didn't matter. Nixon's approval ratings trended downward pretty much the entire duration of Watergate. Trump's been involved in a more-serious-than-Watergate scandal for 2 years and he's remained steady. I went through a year or so back and looked at the Nixon polling trendlines. Basically, the inflection point was when Nixon's popularity with Republican voters dipped below that same threshold and it became clear he was a liability going forward in other races. It also took a long time to happen. Of course this is taking longer and Trump's base is stickier but the overall logic probably holds: if his support among Republicans drops and holds, that's game.

Lightning Knight posted:I don't think Tim Kaine is a liar, I think his moral position - which is a common moral position among liberal Catholics - is asinine and doesn't make sense. Abortion isn't murder. You can't claim it is but also lol gently caress it let's not do anything. That makes you look ridiculous. Not that I hold the opinion, but it does make sense if you believe that outlawing abortion leads to more dead since people will just use coat hangers instead. Clean safe abortions that keep the mother healthy would then be the same harm reduction as giving out clean needles or decriminalizing hard drugs. There's nothing psycopathic about believing something is wrong but that outlawing it would lead to an increase in statistical harm.

Unzip and Attack posted:I am not nothingmattersing here, but he won't. I would be very surprised if he falls below 38% https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/trump-approval-ratings/?ex_cid=rrpromo December 17th, 2017, according to the 538 tracker, his adjusted approval rating was 36.4% There were several other times that year he went below 37%. There were entire months where he was below 38% Some of these might be polling artifacts, but of course, it is just as possible the polling artifacts are going the other way. It might seem pedantic to bring up fractions of a percent, but as long as we get into absolute statements like "It will never reach this mark", then one exception, however slight, means that statement is wrong. Its usually better to couch things in terms of "in the foreseeable future, he won't go below 35%". I think there are a lot of things that could still happen that would fracture the base.

No way is he outside any of this. See I'm still on the fence on this. On the one hand yeah this is super super shady knowing everything we now know but on the other hand Manafort genuinely was a pretty smooth political operator and probably knew Pence would be way better for electoral results than Christie.

Does he actually call her "Mother"? When I was 15 or so one of my friend's dads called his wife 'mother' and I was so confused, and later on creeped the gently caress out when I found out it was a conservative word for "wife". Gross.

I don't disagree, but I think those things are highly unlikely, almost to the point of not being considered plausible. I don't think there are very many people out there who support Trump now that would ever abandon support for him. His administration has been a freak show of constant criminality and vulgarity that Nixon's absolutely was not. Nixon at least obfuscated most of his evil acts while Trump loudly proclaims them on TV or social media. His base is coalesced and reality-proof in a way that Nixon's simply wasn't. Nixon supporters couldn't just veg in front of Fox News all day and have their doubts assuaged. I may be wrong and at a certain point, supporters abandon him due to optics, I just don't think his supporters have any real dignity left.

Clean safe abortions that keep the mother healthy would then be the same harm reduction as giving out clean needles or decriminalizing hard drugs. Bit of a grey area here in regards to how psychopathic it is, but the same is true of divorce. When divorces are easy to obtain, domestic violence and murder rates plummet. So anytime someone brings up that 50 percent of marriages end up in divorce, mention that the corollary is that murders and domestic assaults are cut dramatically too. Would they prefer those people just died to protect the "sanctity of marriage"? They usually don't have an answer to that lol. Spun Dog posted:"Mike Flynn was fired because he lied to Mike Pence" yup, plus, he was Manaforts man. Anything Manafort touches seems to be knee deep in this shitfest.

Petr's not-a-gimmick is dropping the most pessimistic take possible whenever big news hits. It isn't "nothing matters" nihilism as much as "literally nothing can go right in our current world" type thinking. I totally get reacting that way, especially if you are prone to that sort of catastrophizing thought pattern, but it is still annoying unless backed up with evidence (and lack of evidence against something is not evidence for something). And in the current case there's no evidence that the story is fake and significant evidence pointing to it being real such as Cohen already admitting in court to lying and coordinating that lie, the White House spokesperson putting out a non-denial-denial, etc.
