To be fair, if Trump gets removed from office, that is savage as gently caress. Perhaps the most savage act in American political history.

Data Graham posted:Is it just the front page? They can’t possibly be archiving the forums. It depends on if the forums were open or not. The snapshots I've checked were from when you needed an account, so they only capture the login page. But there is nothing technical stopping them from crawling the entire forum. They use the same software as the Internet Archive. There's a decent chance a subset of waffleimages are saved in a web archive.

SpaceDrake posted:While I know we're dying of thirst out here, we need to be absolutely clear in that we are not going to get the actual full phone transcripts/recordings a second before they are at least fully declassified and sent to Congress. Grim would be putting himself in the direst of peril if he even intimated that he had access to the records at this point in time (which is what the White House was generally counting on, not realizing that whistleblowers can easily point out the existence of such records and Congresspersons can demand said records at any time, for any reason). It'll be a while before we know more of the Saudi calls beyond second-hand accusations. So after Congress demands the records... then what? They demand them again?

Charlz Guybon posted:Why would he do that? I kind of think it's a fool's game to guess at Republican strategy at this point. It's possible that Mitch wanted to throw Trump under the bus. It's also possible that he intends to force his caucus to vote against removal no matter what and he's hoping that he can use the argument that everything is transparent and above board. The Republican response, such as it is right now, seems to be focused on saying that the transcript proves nothing and nothing bad happened. I wouldn't underestimate the willingness of the GOP to just make up the reality that they want.

SpaceDrake posted:As a pure aside: is it meant to be Zelensky, Zelenskiy or Zelenskyy? Wikipedia tells me it's officially Zelenskyy and I know Ukrainian romanization is a bit different from Russian, but I don't know much on the subject and am curious. IIRC Zelensky is the official spelling he settled on after some inconsistency. Zelenskyy is how one would transliterate it phonetically, but it's kind of messy because the two Ys are denoting different sounds (the Wikipedia IPA of [woloˈdɪmɪr olekˈsɑndrowɪtʃ zeˈlɛnsʲkɪj] is correct; the Russian version would end with [ij] rather than [Ij] (and also be Vladimir rather than Volodymyr). Edit: Ukrainian Cyrillic: и is [I], i is [i]; Russian Cyrillic: и is [i] and there is no i. Words are often spelled with и in both languages and correspondingly pronounced differently.

Paradoxish posted:I kind of think it's a fool's game to guess at Republican strategy at this point. Trump was always meant to be the distraction for Mitch and his side to get away with getting more tax cuts and relax laws for corps. This was working well for the first year or so. Now that there is heat on Mitch for his Russian connections, he is trying to get Trump to be more of the distraction by getting him to release the poo poo. Mitch would vote to oust Trump in a millisecond if it protected his lot in the senate.

Also could there be the chance he didn’t think it would be this bad? Like Trump told him the tape was totally okay, so he figured to release it to show it was nothin, when it really wasn’t.

Let's see the details before the election, Chuck. i mean, it's the green new deal, as that is the only thing they will have any choice to pass in the scenario where the dems win the senate (because they'll sure as hell win the house there). and also because, unlike other good legislation that the bad senate dems will legitimately oppose (m4a lol), the green new deal is going to be an absolutely massive spending/infrastructure project that will have goodies for everyone and create lots of jobs, so it's probably more likely overall they don't gently caress us on this. but right now the GND exists in the form of some resolutions recognizing the need for a green new deal, and isn't actually fully written as a spending bil;l eke out fucked around with this message at 15:23 on Sep 28, 2019 |
