btw i looked at rule IV and the president is just one of many people in a big list that have the general right to enter the House unless foreign ministers and state governors and the Architect of the Capitol can come in and give a speech at any time they want, it doesn't give the president authority to do poo poo

eke out posted:yeah lol "prove the CIA is secretly doing something" when the entire history of latin america is the CIA constantly secretly doing poo poo is funny I’m not asking for obscure pictures of some secret operative rigging the vote for some local elected tribal leader or something. I’m actually curious if there is evidence that our new CIA torturer in chief is revisiting the classics to try to control a South American country and if there is actually evidence to support it beyond spurious assumptions because the dude that is seizing power happens to want to do things that will make him liked and supported by the Western world. We had almost real time confirmation of astroturfing during the Arab spring, and social media and real time on the ground reporting by civilians has only gotten more widespread. He’s making claims that should be supported by evidence and I’m curious if it actually exists. But I’ll go read the Venezuela thread instead.

The POTUS can side step the issue entirely by going off the rails and doing something new. It's not in line with tradition and decorum, but when has the POTUS ever cared about those things anyway?

Lightning Knight posted:Admittedly the CIA is so loving stupid they’d probably have been exposed by now. I mean, it's definitely not a very common circumstance, but it's not hard to imagine the Trump administration and popular protests in Venezuela both having the same opinion, for different reasons: a) Maduro frames his authoritarian rule in pseudo-leftist trappings and therefore is hated by capitalist and especially by reactionary forces in the United States, but also b) he's loving terrible and revolting against authoritarian leaders is good. This isn't even the first time Trump's blundered into being... not-wrong... about foreign policy-- remember troop withdrawals? Obviously the Trump administration isn't talking about withdrawing troops from our forever wars for good reasons (as with this case, part of it is posturing for a domestic audience), and whatever they do they're going to do in the worst possible way, but troop withdrawals are a good thing taken broadly.

Basically Trump can do the run-in down the ramp and slide into the ring but there won't be any music, crowd pop, microphone, or cameras.

While God’s working on global warming (and presumably The Wall), I’d like to request that the DC area sees temperatures hovering at 33 degrees Fahrenheit with torrential rain on January 29th. Someone tell me how to pray and get that to God, thanks.

I mean they walked the troop withdrawals back immediately because Bolton and Friends didn’t approve. Something makes me think Bolton isn’t as gunshy about a “gently caress Venezuela” agenda.

The only name I could remember was ole' squinty. Wow, checking into it, I also forgot that Michael Cohen, Elliot Broidy and Steve Wynne all has to resign from the RNC due to their corruption. Way to go RNC, they've been having a helluva time lately. Even Rona Romney-McWhatever lost one of her names to the turmoil.

That's almost half what it was last year, meaning they've almost doubled their share. (IIRC) There is absolutely no moral argument that can made for anything approaching that level of inequality.

I'm really glad my personal authoritarian bugbear loving over my abroad loved ones, Erdogan, is just kind of a religious nationalist. And has never ever gave the slightest lip service to anything with the word socialist tacked on to it. Nor has his country in any previous incarnation. It would probably drive me completely insane knowing that a bunch of people in this forum would suddenly go broke brain and scramble over everything to defend him with and up to "evidence of NOT CIA is on anyone denying it!".

eke out posted:hannity was just the surprise, we already knew about broidy but the third client was the mysterious one And that's only if Broidy actually was a client and wasn't running interference for Trump's own abortion. It's entirely possible Cohen's only two real clients were Hannity and Trump. But since hiding a mistress isn't illegal (unless you do it all stupid like Trump) there would be no reason to pierce Hannity/Cohen's client confidentiality and we'll never know what exactly Cohen was doing for Sean.
