I mean, it's less of an echo chamber than Fox. I know that's not saying a lot but these things generally aren't binary. This thread, for example, is pretty echo chamber-y but not to the point of denying reality or just jumping in on completely false narratives.

No poo poo, but him being smug as gently caress because he consumes an assload of cable news and I don't is just....kill me now.

if i remember correctly, the first case to adjudicate the constitution was marbury v madison, which was a direct rebuke of something directly under jefferson. it went against him obv, so if i’m remembering correctly, then i’m not sure jefferson’s reaction is the best evidence of that.

The guy yesterday said it actually went in Jefferson's favor and he still lost his poo poo.

The basic holding, that Marbury did not deserve relief, was a win for Jefferson as President. But it was also a loss for Jefferson's anti-federalist stance by (greatly) expanding the power of the court.

also this, if the IG is personally doing this this likely means their office either feels there is or feels there will be interference from Pompeo's people. If I remember my poo poo right the IG SHOULD typically give this stuff to the Secretary of State to handle.

Naw, the IGs are explicitly bound to report to both the executive and the legislative. (Source: a decade of work for various IGs)

Some IGs are more powerful than others; if the IG is confirmed by Congress, they tend to have broader oversight powers and be more beholden to Congress.

IGs were designed to have this 'dual loyalty' to both legislature and the executive as way for Congress to get an objective(ish) view into how the executive branches are operating. It's part of congress's oversight powers.

one thing we can at least count on, your average government employee tends to be either a Miller/Pompeo style bloodthirsty sociopath who would shoot his own mother in the face to get a small title promotion, or a DEEPLY bitchmade decorum humper who thinks that ~the honor of the office~ is the most important thing, and thankfully that second group finds Trump disgusting.

Ah, thanks for clearing that up, I knew they also reported to congress but I forgot if that was a 'real' thing or a more protocol kinda thing where congress wants to be kept up to speed and junk

Yep, that was it.

Thomas Jefferson posted:

"The Constitution . . . meant that its coordinate branches should be checks on each other. But the opinion which gives to the judges the right to decide what laws are constitutional and what not, not only for themselves in their own sphere of action but for the Legislature and Executive also in their spheres, would make the Judiciary a despotic branch."

I mean... it's kind of hard to disagree when we look at how partisan and weaponized the court has become, though it isn't exactly what he was getting at.

please do not denigrate bitchmade decorum humpers ty

and anyway it's more about bureaucrats clinging desperately to their jobs being important and good, which means that, say, the Inspector General is probably not going to be excited about the DNI sitting on a report where the IG *personally* highlighted the words "urgent" and "alarming"

Literally a joke Obama made to mock Republicans


Obama Netflix posted:

We have gone above and beyond what was requested by the very Republicans who said they supported broader reform as long as we got serious about enforcement," Obama said. "But even though we've answered these concerns, I gotta say I suspect there are still going to be some who are trying to move the goal posts on us one more time."

"Maybe they'll need a moat," Obama said mockingly to laughter from the crowd. "Maybe they'll want alligators in the moat."
