Wow. It's actually even worse for his lawyers than simply "Oh, it's not actually an emergency. I'm just impatient." That's some next level brain worms to follow up by laying out how it's just a political stunt to win an election.

Minor point of order, but at the moment, "his lawyers" defending his "argument" before the courts = the US Department of Justice, because of his role as "president". They serve under his discretion. I hope they're all pooping uncontrollably right now.

BristolSOF posted:NYT - "As Debt Rises, the Government Will Soon Spend More on Interest Than on the Military" Of all the many problems in the world, the Treasury Department having to print more dollars is not a major one. It's also an easily fixable problem - congressional Republicans just need to stop giving American tax dollars to their donors, and conservatives need to stop giving their votes to assholes. Fundamentally our deficit issues aren't due to programmatic policy issues, they're due to systematized graft and corruption. Kaal fucked around with this message at 17:00 on Feb 16, 2019 |

Passing laws was never the point; filling the judiciary with federalist stooges and deregulating everything was. Mitch McConnell is 100% looting the government; the reason he is so effective is that he does it in a low-key manner. Trump is the best distraction he could imagine.

The Smollett story seems to be: Smollett: I was lynched. Some people: That seems unlikely. Who lynches people in the cold? Media: An anonymous source suggests it was staged. Smollet: That's not true. Media: An anonymous source suggests it was staged. Cops: That's not true. Media: An anonymous source suggests it was staged. Some people: Seems like it was staged. Makes sense since it seemed so unlikely in the first place. I'm either missing some really big piece of this puzzle or I'm really blown away by the way people are reacting to this story. Or I'm just not up on lynching etiquette to understand why this story was so unlikely in the first place. PerniciousKnid posted:Having never employed a nanny myself, how would you know if they have/require a visa? I would assume you would want to factor that into taxes and your nanny would say "by the way if you file taxes on this I'm gonna get deported, so just pay me under the table and you get to save money on the taxes." And that's assuming she didn't just seek out such an arrangement as many do. There's also been talk that the nanny thing was really just the tip of the iceberg and there was no chance she was going to get through the nomination process. It came off like the nanny thing was the most innocent thing they could throw out as an excuse, but there was no clue or hint of what the other stuff could be.

STAC Goat posted:The Smollett story seems to be: The Chicago PD picked up two brothers who they had identified as persons of interest. It's unclear if they are or are not the two people Smollett identified as his assailants from surveillance video. Then, the police released the brothers without charging them. Apparently, one had appeared as an extra on Empire, and Smollett had hired one of them as a personal trainer. The brothers say through their lawyer they had nothing to do with it. Smollett also refused to turn over his phone, which he had been talking on during the incident, to the police, which is extremely reasonable. This is the latest from the Chicago Chief of Police: https://mobile.twitter.com/AJGuglielmi/status/1097236283921977345Which is a lot of words to say very little. So no one really knows anything, except for the people who aren't saying anything.

The two anonymous sources are the two Chicago PD officers who are huge MAGAturds who used their police power to plan and perform the attack. Then, they’re releasing the anonymous sources to try and muddy the waters and eventually when they’re identified, they’ll claim they’re being wrongfully accused/targeted for leaking, “the real story” and plan to ride the wingnut gravy train.

It's actually sickening watching people beg and plead and wish that Jussie Smollet was actually beaten by white racists instead of making up a story. You'd think people would be happy when a hate crime didn't actually happen instead of braying and screaming for black blood.
