luxury handset posted:this is the part which is highly variable There's actually a decent amount of crossover with school food and prison food. A lot of the same problems are there: Food needs to be mass produced in large quantities for cheap. The nutritional requirements are slightly (slightly) different, like how kids aren't being fed nutriloaf, but at some of the better prisons and worse schools, you'd have a hard time picking out at a glance which is the prison food and which is the school food. What you get is a lot of high fat, high sugar, D grade meat. And in some cases the same suppliers for the prisons are the same suppliers for the schools. This isn't always the case though. In some prisons you're just getting a bologna sandwich and water. Or if you've pissed someone off, nurtiloaf, which really should be classified as some sort of human rights violation. Literally so. Rectal Death Adept posted:Yeah this caused problems at my school. When our old administration retired this stereotype of a young 80s businessman took over in my sophmore year. He immediately instituted policies where you failed every class with a 0 if you were absent more than 5 days. There were no exceptions to this unless you had documentation from a doctor or hospital verifying that you had a condition that he thought was an acceptable reason to miss school. So he would even refuse some doctor's notes even if families went to the expense of a doctor visit. Real question. How did this guy not get his car egged and his tires slashed every day?

https://www.politico.com/news/2019/10/15/donald-trump-impeachment-ukraine-investigation-046915 Also I was kind of hoping and figured this might happen. That really doesn't look good for Trump that people in or formerly in his administration will just ignore his standing order not to testify for the obviously self-serving bullshit it is and comply with the duly elected Democratic houses inquiry. You can finally at long last see Trumps borderline inexplicable reign of fear and intimidation slowly crumbling in real time. They're not going to get all of the ones they want to testify or at least not this quickly, but I could easily envision an alternate scenario where none of them have and so far what's been shared with Congress is damning as hell and lines up pretty succinctly with the purported whisteblower complaints. This is a lot better than I could have hope for so far considering I just expected them to go full in on ignoring subpoena's but there's nothing compelling them too aside from Trump's will and maybe just maybe that's no longer the be all end all anymore in America.

Dammerung posted:What other choice does he have at this point? I think at this point that President Trump coming out on top and the Republican Alternative Reality field succeeding are one and the same. At this point, unless something changes, the Republican Party and the Trump administration are too closely intertwined to separate from one another. he's a senator from south carolina. if he makes it through his primary, he almost certainly wins re-election, and then has a six year term where, at the end of the term, he probably wins the primary again for being a loyal footsoldier no matter what happened in the interim

evilweasel posted:willingness to listen to science and expert opinion, as opposed to tradition and doing things "the way they've always been done", is a very big left/right divide. rejecting that is sort of the essence of conservatism nah the weird child health stuff was originally very much a left wing thing that only existed on the right like way at the loving edge of the spectrum. Now it is much more bipartisan. It does pretty heavily correlate to distrust of the government and other traditional authorities and that's basically entirely bipartisan at this point.

Furnaceface posted:Like 90% of NHL players are hardcore Republican/Conservative chuds so expect them to all smile and clap along anyway. This statistic and claim is based on and from? I'm getting a bit of a different vibe from those videos in any case. Like a not that that they're smiling or laughing along with Trump or agreeing with him but a wry "Oh here we go, I knew he'd bring this up" reaction. The body language and chuckling makes it feel like they're laughing at the idea of being on the podium there while he goes on about more "but my enemies" stuff that has nothing to do with them being there. At the same time they didn't have to be there either and what did they loving expect. The quotes that are being posted on the NHL N/V thread are standard Trump "people are saying" quotes about things NHL players are "telling him". The exact format that he always uses when he's just making poo poo up out of thin air on the spot so I wouldn't be inclined to believe them on that basis. Again they don't have to be there, it sucks, but I'm not getting a "hail victory" party rally vibe off of this so much as they're there on the basis of a tradition when they probably shouldn't be cause the guy is nuts and why would you want to be associated with that in any situation. They deserve some flack and dragging on that point alone. edit: It occurs to me people are probably just wondering if they are real Trump quotes in which case god I honestly don't know? Maybe ? Anything is possible with him. Kale fucked around with this message at 22:27 on Oct 15, 2019 |

If that's the case, it could mean something big is about to drop. Or something has just come out in committee that makes voting against impeachment unattractive.

Oh well that subpoena wasn't part of the inquiry, guess you'll have to issue another one! Oh well THAT subpoena was only because I didn't follow the first one, which you already agreed was wrong so it was wrong too. Oh well THAT OTHER subpoena was because I wasn't following subpoenas, that's a completely different issue than the inquiry so really I shouldn't follow it. *later* The election is over, why are you still doing impeachment? Trump won! The American people spoke!
