Lote posted:The MIC knows it’s got a good situation going and won’t do anything to rock the boat. We will see if this immediately translates to alarm bells going off in the MIC and applying pressure to team R not to gently caress up the $900 billion per year in funding. He's already loving up funding in order to have his wall built, and the opposition has been loudly announcing a willingness to use the same tools. Alarm bells are already going off.

I still believe the house is more likely than not to successfully vote to impeach Trump before their impeachment is quickly taken out back by McConnell and shot, but I'm a little bit less optimistic now that the whistleblower complaint will be gigantic. Once we heard that he was a secondary source, it should have been obvious what the white house will do. Whistleblower: "I heard from white house officials that Trump said 'crimes, crimes crimes!!!' " Trump: "nuh-uh this anonymous unamerican coward is lying" *no one comes forward to corroborate*

F_Shit_Fitzgerald posted:I don't know if this is trying to read tea leaves or not, but that tweet from a few pages back, where Roberts randomly decided to blurt out that the SCOTUS isn't political, seems odd to me. Why now? Is it a subtle attempt to signal that the SCOTUS wouldn't protect Trump during impeachment proceedings? It looks like the context of that is that he was at a Q&A session and someone else brought it up because it was in the news. So he probably wouldn't have said that at this moment without prompting, and since he had to say something he said some platitude about the idealized Court.

I want to know, in a couple of weeks to a month or so, what this ends up looking like in terms of the odds that the Republicans lose the senate. I am usually inured to hope these days but ... this is exactly the sort of clownshow that risks republicans too much to make circling the wagons save them again.

Hateful partisans attack the things they understand, true or not. They're not going to attack the morality of her position, or go on a point by point intellectually exhaustive breakdown of the state of climate science and the claims that inform her position.

I think the talking points by the White House really hosed up by calling it an “explicit quid pro quo”. Kinda implies implicit quid pro quo, no?

It's hard for me to believe that if Trump ends up going down as hard as it looks like he might, though, that Roberts would stick his neck out for him.

Still I just like thinking that everything illegal/unethical Nunes has done since 2017 is because he thinks it'll get him the Director of National Intelligence position, because what other reason could he have, after all the humiliation he has suffered (especially recently) to keep running interference? I mean, aside from some crimes he himself has done that we're unaware of.

Like Buzz Aldrin’s bug eyes at Trump’s Space Force ramble, Trudeau looking down disgusted at Trump’s handshake attempt, that dude from the Al Smith dinner.
