goethe.cx posted:Trump’s cursing is one of the weirdest things about him. “Moved on her like a bitch?” And he reportedly called some Asian guy a “loving goo-goo” Sometimes I'll just be daydreaming or zoning out at work and "moved on her like a bitch" will pop into my head and I am as baffled by it today as I was when I first heard it 37,000 years ago.

Probably should do away with "legislative districts" entirely. Bring on proportional representation or something.

Main Paineframe posted:No, what I'm saying is that for the committees to have further investigatory powers beyond the ones they normally have, the House needs to vote to grant those powers to the committees. Merely having the Speaker say the words "impeachment inquiry" does not automatically grant any extra powers.

Angry_Ed posted:I know people keep saying she's some sort of performance artist at this point but come the gently caress on. Oh she absolutely started as a performance artist. But as Vonnegut puts it "We are what we pretend to be, so be careful what you pretend to be". You start saying this poo poo and get rewarded with money and praise (and the corresponding dopamine hit) it stops being an act and becomes what you are dangerously quickly.

Oracle posted:Holy poo poo this is bad. Read this right now. Seriously. Now. Listen. This has to be some kind of conspiracy charge or something. Telling people to destroy evidence and lie. My understanding is that lawmakers can pass whatever laws they'd like without personal consequences. If those laws violate existing law or constitutional rights, then the laws are struck down and the lovely lawmakers are free to try again. Unfortunately, that means there can't be a criminal conspiracy to pass districts violating the Voter Rights Act, because it's not actually a criminal offense to violate the Voter Rights Act via legislation. Pretty much the embodiment of our country's "it's just Politics!" attitude.

These redistricting speakers straight up said that the lawmakers' noted from the conference would certainly be sought and told them to destroy them. I'm not a lawyer who specializes in such things but isn't destruction of evidence which you know will be material to future litigation kinda super bad?

There's a pretty good historical fiction podcast called "1865," where this is one of the main plotlines. It's worth a listen, particularly given present circumstances.

Well yea but their suggestion was all based on a hypothetical. The crime hasn't been committed yet and I'd imagine it'd be hard to get a conspiracy charge to stick on something like this.

I think it actually went the other direction. I think she started off trying to be serious, but then saw how easier it was to just say bullshit and the wackier things she said the more success she got and just went "gently caress it" and went full performance artist. Like that tweet last year or whenever (time has no meaning) when she just admitted how much of a lonely husk of a person she was. That HAD to be a joke.
