If you want to see a glimpse of what is coming down the pipe, look at Eric Holder when he was held in Contempt of Congress in 2012: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_Holder#Contempt_of_Congress Nancy Pelosi and most Democratic Representatives ceremonially marched out of the House of Representatives to protest the contempt vote (which was in June 2012, 4 months before the election), while Republicans beat the drums of war and racistly yelled about how these black guys gave guns to murderers. Then Obama's Justice Department declined to prosecute, making the charge entirely symbolic. Democrats actually won that election by a lot: Obama got a second term, the Democratic controlled Senate picked up two more seats, and Democrats had a 1.4% plurality in the House. However Republicans kept control the house because we don't live in a democracy and then they started dozens more sham investigations.

My go to example of crab mentality is the people that say "we can't end the drug war!" because people have died fighting that war, and if we end it now we are not honoring them. Or something. Is that crab mentality? That just sounds like a sunk cost fallacy. Crabs in a bucket can succinctly be explained as, "If I couldn't have it, neither should you." Murgos posted:She’s 79.

That doesn’t seem like the fight they should be picking. I know, base and Fox, but nepotism overriding security recommendations? That’s much harder to spin than, say, Russia.

As I understand it those were hastily put together to accommodate the large numbers of unaccompanied minors that came in a short period of time so the usual facilities didn't have enough room. They didn't stay in them for long and they sure as hell weren't separated from their parents first.

Ironic how this convo came up wrt refugees from the south... of whom there'd be vastly more if the US had cut aid. Because they were already aware that they didn't have the resources on the southern border to handle a massive influx of refugees

Electric Bugaloo posted:I know we live in nothing matters world where there is never a step too far, but I actually think that this would be a step too far. Maybe not for chuds but for driving turnout with every other group. ‘Saying the N word’ is one of the ways to do a racism that everybody understands as ‘that’s Racism.’ If Trump was on tape saying the N word it would drive turnout among people who would never have thought about going to vote otherwise Somehow I don't think the people who had no problem voting for a guy who said Mexicans are rapists and murderers would suddenly find him unpalatable after finding out he may have said the n-word.

The DOJ is basically the Federal DA's office with the DEA being the federal narcotics cops. If he testified, he'd be in a position of exposing just how hosed up our entire approach to narco-interdiction is and that's an intolerable position for them to be in.

MoS showed that what people actually want from Superman is the simplistic fantasy of a kind-hearted father figure that will always save the day with a smile, and anything deviating from that is Man of Steel was a dark (literally, there was not a single bright color in that movie) and joyless film that reveled in death and violence against the innocent.
