He hasn't tweeted about Louisiana since the polls closed, a sure sign that he's turbo-mad.

Logistically, Pence steps in, but what happens to the impeachment hearing? We know Pence is involved/implicated through all the stuff Giuliani is admitting to, and I have to assume they can't just transfer the investigation to a new person. Without a hearing, what happens to the Republicans next election? Would they try and re-cast Trump as a martyr to the cause and convince both the die-hards and the "moderates" to show up? For the presidential race, it's a little less certain. Pence would be the obvious heir, but he's not particularly popular nor likely to be favored against the Democratic nominee. I think there's a lot of potential for someone else to try for the nomination. It's really hard to say in a hypothetical.

An article in which Obama says people want things that make sense and in the same sentence calls universal healthcare "Crazy stuff" and continues to be a coward.quote:Obama has largely refrained from publicly opining on the Democratic primary, which has exposed a growing rift between an ascendant progressive wing of the party and old-guard centrists like his former vice president, Joe Biden. i am harry fucked around with this message at 20:08 on Nov 17, 2019 |

Crunch Buttsteak posted:Is the whole "it's actually illegal for Trump to delete his tweets!" talking point an actual thing, or was that just a #Resistance "ah, THIS will be what finally takes him down!" post-election pipe dream i was just wondering that, and i can't remember the exact outcome - they're definitely presidential archive materials (unless it was, like, just 'editing' to fix a typo or something) but I think it's fine as long as Twitter has a backup copy or something? I don't remember the can / can't delete presidential communications for non-archive reasons part very well either. edit: https://www.pri.org/stories/2018-02-19/donald-trumps-tweets-are-now-presidential-records - the archive thing is accurate - the admin has been instructed to save deleted tweets, but it's not particularly enforceable at this time (lol at president - independent archival is nominally insufficient - previous presidents (...was twitter around under dubya?) used a system to auto-archive all their posted tweets Goatse James Bond fucked around with this message at 20:21 on Nov 17, 2019 |

He's not supposed to do it, and it, like everything else he does and is not supposed to do, might be and usually is endorsed as the straw that will break the camel's back. i am harry posted:An article in which Obama says people want things that make sense and in the same sentence calls universal healthcare "Crazy stuff" and continues to be a coward.

If you want people to survive the long slogging poo poo fight that is dragging this country left one rep at a time, maybe don't immediately come in less than a day after a real victory in a place where there was a strong chance of defeat and poo poo all over the good feels that are going to sustain them in the fight to come. Yes, Edwards is a succ dem. No one's saying he isn't. Let people be loving happy for two minutes. It's important for all of our mental health to savor the small victories when we get them. And if you can't because he's too much of a succ dem then... maybe just don't quote posts about it and let other people have their moment. Mental batteries need recharging. There's a reason people are dropping out of this thread because of mental wellness.

it's quite simple and logically consistent: anyone who will show up to testify is disloyal, period, unless explicitly allowed to as part of their obstruction attempts so basically Sondland, who has already lied repeatedly and clearly had the blessing of Trump, is the only person who has testified without disloyalty

If the big money and the party establishment are breaking away from Biden at this point I would think that he's laying the groundwork for endorsing Pete, probably before South Carolina. Pete is the kind of rising star that the party would want as their new Obama now that people like Beto have completely flamed out.

I doubt it’s what he meant, but in general most people do prioritize “fairness to me” over “fairness to you.” The only time FYGM is even potentially defeatable is when a huge mass of people are on the outside looking in on it.

He has admitted to and done so many crimes publicly that that the Ukraine investigation is very, very narrow. I think the fire hose of crimes is so strong that the dems have decided to choose this particular Ukraine one. I don't agree, I think they should nail him for all of it, but I understand that might not be feasible due to the gigantic amount of crimes. edit: Of course the answer is no politician should be on twitter because that is the stupidest thing ever, but I guess we're far past that point. 1glitch0 fucked around with this message at 20:47 on Nov 17, 2019 |

Pence steps in but the party will fracture overnight because there is no clear “leader” to carry on Trumpism. Pence is an empty suite creep who will have the establishment and evangelicals behind him, but I doubt the MAGA base accepts him. Trumps children are idiots and will be a non factor You will see a bunch of “never trumpers” come pouring out of their holes and fighting publicity with MAGA wing. Perhaps Mitt Romney leads this faction. And the MAGA/white supremacist wing would be back-stabbing each other to see who the next one true “leader” of Trumpism will be. It would be a glorious mess.

Zeppelin Insanity posted:Yeah, "warfighter" is a preferred propaganda term by the US military industrial complex. You see official army stuff use it all the time, you see project development names use it and so on. Holy poo poo this fan fic garbage. In the US military the term "Soldier" is considered a proper title (which is why it's capitalized according to the DoD style guide) which is given to US Army personnel. "Warfighter" is a service-agnostic way of saying combat personnel. It also became widely adopted as a popular alternative to "warrior" when trying to be all rah-rah, in the army at least, because it sounds more professional. Warfighter is a dispassionate job description: people who fight wars; instead of invoking the tribal/violent/bloodthirsty connotations "warrior" does.
