A tale of two Gaetz https://twitter.com/thehill/status/1144359016778387456 Pretty bad, I won't lie, but his attempt at being a vanguard against the threat of lactose-based beverages being hurled at him and other fascists has been undermined by everyone paying attention to the real news: https://twitter.com/thehill/status/1144657718537576448 (note the timestamps of the two tweets, I had to search for a while past all the "Matt Gaetz officially under investigation" tweets to find the one about him charging the Milkshake Grenadier) turns out blowing off interview requests with house panels still occasionally has repercussions. EDIT: dogtax

The foulest witch is almost definitely a white person, based on the demographic distribution of foulness both in the United States and worldwide. Also almost definitely a woman, but only because most of the male-identified foul spellcasters call themselves warlocks.

Ogmius815 posted:Like, I first heard “Dems will win everything if they just be as leftist as possible! Red state voters really just want leftist policies but don’t have the choice of voting for that because of those no good DINOs” back in like 2006 on Daily Kos. I believed it then because I was a dumb teenager, but it was just as wrong then as now. Oh for sure, remember Obama's tidal wave of an election rode on a message of "lets compromise and keep everything the same!"

Gatts posted:Between Schumer and the Senate Dems and this, Pelosi losing her grip. Hopefully she’s gone To be replaced by Steny Hoyer given our luck. EDIT: If the HPC was 20 members larger I'd feel safe in the idea they could get someone progressive to replace Pelosi but right now i'm just thinking Hoyer or some other PSC/NDC moron will instead get the spot if Pelosi was to be ousted right this minute, and they are all categorically worse than she is, and she's pretty bad right now.

Gatts posted:Kindly explain so I can learn But maybe the Problem Solvers were bluffing, and wouldn't have actually spiked the bill! Maybe she should have forced them to say it on the record, but that's a great way to lose your Speakership- only the House members vote. And she's compromising with both Schumer, McConnell, and Trump. Sure, you can send a gif bill up to McConnell and force him to kill it - Pelosi did this a lot. But "must pass" bills must pass, and that means putting together a compromise. Now her job is getting everyone on board for that lovely compromise. And the whole time all of this is happening behind closed doors. Edit: and while AOC would probably make different decisions, she'd still be facing the same choices.

Are there any legal repercussions to being caught in a major lie like that, or do your lawyers have to be found knowingly lying and it's limited to how severe the judge wants to interpret the sentence? Because Zimmerman did something similar by trying to strategize over the prison phone with his wife in Spanish and I can't recall what came of it.

Here's a short little transcript of his call with his mother: Fields called Heyer's mother "One of those anti-white communists." “She lost her daughter," “It doesn’t loving matter, she’s a communist.” “Stop talking like that” “It isn’t up for questioning, she’s the enemy, Mother.” And then his lawyers tried to argue that “No amount of punishment imposed on James can repair the damage he caused to dozens of innocent people. But this Court should find that retribution has limits." And also: "no individual is wholly defined by their worst moments.”
