So, that very enthusiastic to vote stat posted earlier IIRC December 2015 was 20% D, 38% R and the actual vote percentage was 48% to 46%, with Dems winning the national vote by 2%. So, a 20% swing. So, if that were the same in 2020, a 53% D, 56% R stat would imply a Democratic landslide, like 57% to 40%.

I don't think those things scale linearly. A 6-7% margin Nationwide would be a Wipeout (and I think well within the realm of possibility)

Doesn't the law say that if you destroy evidence, the jury has to be instructed to treat it as if it was as damning as possible? They shot themselves in the foot.

Was it ever disclosed how these ~30 Republicans actually got to enter the room? I can't imagine a SCIF in the capitol building is just sitting unlocked while the testimony is going on in-front of committee members.

The whole building is secured against unauthorized intruders from outside, it’s not secured against congresspeople deciding to flagrantly violate their own rules.

And the real funny part is most stores don’t give a poo poo out shoplifting unless you’re stealing thousands of dollars or just reeeeeeeeally stupid. Moral of this story is plan your shoplifting better. Invalid Validation fucked around with this message at 01:39 on Oct 24, 2019 |

cr0y posted:Remember her? Did we talk about this? It was mentioned briefly earlier today. Ice Phisherman posted:Why are republican politics such a loving shitshow? What it seems to be coming down to (at least, in my perspective) is that it's difficult to find people who are willing to seriously run in support of the GOP. It's become a very fine line to walk if you're not in the alt-right scene, with the perception being that angering the president and his supporters will equate to a death sentence, but following him too closely might get you in serious trouble over something you might not really believe in. Now that I'm thinking about it, I don't think we're seeing a large amount of younger Republicans who aren't connected to the establishment in some way running. I know about Joey Saladino, this woman is another, and I think Scott Walker's son was tentatively planning a run? We're not seeing as many people like Lee Carter, McKayla Wilkes, Jessica Cisneros, etc. running for the GOP, and I think it's because they realize it's a losing proposition. It's wild - despite all of these retirements in the House, it doesn't seem like there's a whole ton of passion for people to throw their own hats in the ring.

Young Freud posted:Very likely one of the twelve that are supposed to be there opened the door. Basically yeah. A secure room will have some kind of badge access or lock, but lots of different committees would probably use that room for different things. Plus the 12 that could have been present since they were on the correct committees anyway. Basically it's an "insider threat" kind of situation - you can't really guard against deliberate sabotage by someone that has a genuine need for access.

It's wild - despite all of these retirements in the House, it doesn't seem like there's a whole ton of passion for people to throw their own hats in the ring. Yeah, I noticed this. My pet idea is that the republicans have completely written off the house and the white house, hoping that they can do what they did during the Obama years. Obstruct their way back into power, because it worked. Only this time they do whatever they can to hold onto the senate to preserve their party to keep from being legislated out of existence by anti-election fraud measures. To stay viable as a rump party, basically and wait for their moment. My guess is that they're going to glom onto climate rhetoric in the ugliest way possible. They'll hard switch from climate denial to "Fortress America", play on fears of the other and attempt to pull the country full isolationist/fascist, or at least that'll be the rhetoric as poo poo gets worse.

Why run into that headwind when you can run for state office which is far more favorable? Grifters abhor a vacuum so a pretty young woman who wears a big cross and touts the GOP line is going to at least get initial interest and a shot at the money spigot.

They aren’t gonna pay the coders in Libra, they’ll pay the content creators and marketplace vendors in it as well as make a venmo type direct pay system. They’re just gonna try to make a whole economy out of a currency they control. It’s a gonna fail because Facebook is going to collapse.
