AreWeDrunkYet posted:I don't understand how the prosecutors hosed up this badly. If it really was as simple as "offer to testify in exchange for immunity, then take credit for the crime" there's no way anyone with a friend would ever get convicted of anything. Surely there are procedures in place to prevent this extremely predictable scenario - if nothing else, how is this not a slam dunk murder case against the guy who testified to killing the kid? For starters the prosecutors are lucky the case wasn't completely thrown out with prejudice when they hacked into the defense attorneys' emails.

It keeps happening too they're gonna have to add an entire 4th year to law school just to tell everyone "HEY. LOOK AT ME. LOOK AT ME. DON'T FRAME GUILTY PEOPLE."

Eej posted:https://twitter.com/SpeakerPelosi/status/1146210661665558529?s=19 It's hard to know if there is any validity to Twitter metrics on any level, but AOC gets 20x the positive engagement as pelosi on this issue, and pelosi is, rhetorically, trying and failing to catch up to AOC here. That cliche about "lead, follow, or get out of the way" is being very well illustrated. Half the time Pelosi follows and half the time she just stays in the way.

Half the time Pelosi follows and half the time she just stays in the way. majority leader is kind of a shity name for what the actual job is which is, majority representative. If the caucus isn't there there's nothing to be done. If you want to find a bad guy you can look as far back as earmarks being tossed into the historical trash can. If you want the Democratic majority to be more reactive go show up at some offices or make some phone calls. But the truth of the matter is, with this administration there's not a lot of leverage legally. What would you have them do? And what authority would you have them do it under? And if you say impeachment, I know right now that there are not enough votes for impeachment or that would already be happening.

Here's the problem, in tweet form. https://twitter.com/marceelias/status/1146532624250417153?s=19 The careerists are basically hunkering down and being moral, avoiding whatever bullshit they can, because they fully intend to outlast the orange gently caress. They can generally do that, while having the political appointees at DOJ doing the shady poo poo.

This seems a good place to point out that the navy is literally grounding an entire air wing and parking broken jets rather than fixing them for the next three months, after running out of money. Shockingly, ordering a service to increase its readiness without increasing the funding led to short term gains (as they burned through a year's worth of maintenance and flight money in nine months) in exchange for drastically impaired long-term results. https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/28732/navy-may-slow-aviation-ops-due-to-budget-shortfall-as-it-ground-super-hornet-demo-team

Could someone who knows about history, budgeting, and maintenance better than me explain why we were able to fight wars in both Korea and Vietnam while maintaining strategic nuclear and conventional capabilities at land and sea, but can't seem to keep our modern Airforce and Naval aircraft from literally falling apart in mid air during peacetime, all while somehow running the biggest defense budget since WWII?

Pelosi has been extremely transparent on her impeachment views, and those views are not "I just don't have the votes." She is a leader, she can lead. She's not leading towards impeachment not because her hands are tied, but because she is against it.

”They are creating this thing from scratch, and I do not know if anyone knows how it will go off,” said another White House aide. “There are questions about the ticket distribution and who will show up. The weather might be bad. Heads are spinning.” I take it back; now I do wish I was in DC for the 4th just so I could watch this thing crater hard.

I won't, but I'm sort of tempted. knowing my luck I'd end up in the background of a picture on social media and forever be known as a maga.
