Ghost Leviathan posted:Even if so, there's a shitload more people in the suburbs. They honestly have all the worst aspects of the urban and the rural. Suburbs with downtowns tend to be okay. If you pull out a voting map of your area, just like with all cities voting blue that arent in Oklahoma, suburbs with an actual downtown area tend to always vote blue. Those that are just strip malls and cul de sacs, red. Its a pretty interesting phenomena.

Republicans found their new thing to be outraged at. I doubt this will go anywhere, but it shows how desperate they are. Biden's incoming CDC Director wrote a "divisive" and "politicized" NYT Op-Ed that shamelessly used the Capitol attack and COVID to slam our current SCIENTIST CDC director and VETERAN Surgeon General. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/01/11/opinion/rochelle-walensky-cdc-director.html?action=click&module=Opinion&pgtype=Homepage quote:As the New C.D.C.

Kalit posted:Huh, I wonder what's going to happen with the old US embassy in Tel Aviv now. Do you think Adelson had put Trump down as the successor for that building in his will? Just saying, it's pretty convenient timing when Trump's about to be kicked out of his current house and won't be allowed to live at Mar-A-Lago permanently I don't think Adelson loved Trump that much. I recall reports of friction around the 2020 election and Adelson pretty much going around the Trump campaign apparatus to fund downballot candidates instead.

BiggerBoat posted:7pm Texas time I read. I am less concerned about Trump now. The biggest worry is that he will try to pardon all of the terrorists who stormed the capitol and himself on the way out. I don't expect Trump to "behave", but this will probably be just another airing of grievances like he had one time on the campaign trail where he spent 2 hours moaning about everything under the sun.

UltraShame posted:I'm reminded of 2016, before the election, but after the debates. Trump was "about to come speak at any moment" - but you just had a essentially a dead air shot of an empty lectern with reporters breathlessly talking over it about "oh my god he could say ANYTHING, there's no way of knowing", or "what he says is almost never true, but the people there sure find it entertaining!"

Hieronymous Alloy posted:Truth hurts donut Fox and Friends this morning is really trying run hard with this, but it is a very weak hand. They just keep repeating "Everyone is trying to ruin Josh Hawley, Kevin McCarthy, and Ted Cruz's life for 'not taking the Capito incident seriously' but this lady just used it as a prop in a political attack! I guess they really don't care except to use it as a weapon." and "She says there was no integrity, dishonesty, and a "disaster" under the Surgeon General and CDC, but our Surgeon General is A TROOP! Why does she say that about a distinguished troop? Where is the unity?" Noticeably absent is an explicit defense of Trump. Hawley, McCarthy, and Cruz get some cover, though.

Years ago a company I worked for got Las Vegas Sands as a client. Found out about Addelson right away and kept hemming and hawing about whether I should stick to my convictions and refuse to work on it, potentially getting fired if I did. Ultimately I caved and spent a few months working with them. The project was mismanaged and in the end the product was never built. But even though I caved that time, it helped me have more integrity about the social impact of my work moving forward. So in his own small way he helped me be a better lefty. Anyway, glad I wasted some small fraction of your money you dead gently caress. feedmyleg fucked around with this message at 15:31 on Jan 12, 2021 |

Rinkles posted:is there a handy twitter account posting everyone that's been arrested so far? Capitol Police said yesterday that they have currently arrested or are seeking information leading to the arrest of 167 people involved. Only a few of the people have been named in the press. It's basically just the people the FBI has already filed charges against.

BiggerBoat posted:7pm Texas time I read. I think this is likely, but there's also a chance he gives a relatively boring speech (I mean, any Trump speech is sure to be rambling and insane but, normal by his standards) while vaguely talking about the need for unity and healing. I hope the media isn't stupid enough say that it's a new tone for Trump or that he's finally become President or whatever, but I'm doubtful. https://twitter.com/MattGrossmann/status/1348986470942601216?s=20 https://twitter.com/bopinion/status/1349001766352859144?s=20 I'm also very doubtful this 14th amendment push will lead anywhere. Dems wouldn't try it and even if they did, SCOTUS would rule against them.

George H.W. Bush pardoned the Iran Contra planners during his. Obama pardoned a bunch of non-violent drug offenders, a pro-baseball player who had been charged with tax fraud, and a marine general who was charged with leaking stories to a journalist for a book. George W. Bush pardoned 2 people with pot charges, a bunch of people convicted of violating antiquities acts, and a whole bunch of people convicted of mail fraud. Clinton pardoned Marc Rich, a few drug offenders, a bunch of Puerto Ricans charged with terrorism, and the leaders of the weather underground.

Apparently the last thing he really did was stop Cheney from going to war with Russia, and then was an absentee president during all the financial poo poo while he spent time falling off the wagon. He was so toxic at that point everyone was fine with it.
