Did the removal vote get moved to tomorrow? I thought that was today? Or is it just not happening?

Do you mean the removal vote from impeachment? The article hasn't been sent over to the Senate yet!

The Senate is a bit of a clusterfuck right now, and Pelosi et al basically figured (correctly) that the threat of a fast trial did the trick to keep Donnie bottled up. The Senate right now is having trouble constituting itself (the 50-50 power sharing thing is held up because McConnell wants the filibuster kept ironclad), or determining trial rules, and Biden's nominees are already getting held up by rando Senate douchebags. Everyone more or less agreed that holding the impeachment over Donnie's head turned out to be enough.

Pelosi will likely send the article over at the end of the week, then the Senate trial starts in a 50-50 Senate with Democrats controlling the rules.

It might be a good tactical move but I have a feeling this is going to end up being the wrong move, like, for democracy.

Should have done a speedy removal. You can't let someone who attempted a coup to finish out his entire term for fucks sakes. What kind of a message does it send to the others? "Come coup some more, we promise we won't do nothing til after you've given it a good college try?"

I'm more concerned with them doing something to get rid of and jail the Congress members who no poo poo aided the terrorists, but that's probably a losing proposition if I expect anything done.

A relative who was drafted in the early 1970s mentioned before sending guys overseas they asked a lot of screening questions in a big meeting. One of them was "have you been exposed to communist propaganda" and a guy who was a missionary kid in China raised his hand. He wasn't trolling and I'm not sure if he got the ok to go, and he noted the Nationalist posters were pretty bad but the communist ones were doing better visual design.

My response would be, send this kid to psyops (or PA).

Lordy when I was doing my TS package over 5 years ago I put a very close buddy I had known for 20 years on it. They asked him "what terrorist group would he support". My buddy responded that's ridiculous he wouldn't support any of them. "That's besides the point, let's just say he had to support one, which one would it be." He promptly forget his flippant answer and the interview moved on.

And that's how I got to explain the existence of the nefarious Rebel Alliance to a 70 year old lady who apparently never watched any movies.

Is this just an investigator going off the rails or something? I've never had one ask me theoretical questions like that. I like the answer though.

Yeah, pretty much. Democrats dithered in the house for a few days (probably lost 2-3 days), and the 25th thing was dumb and symbolic (and lost another day), but they hypersped through the actual impeachment itself. Literally no way they could've accelerated those floor proceedings.

The Senate adjourned to the 19th because there was nothing really left to do with the currently constituted Senate (and they were probably traumatized a bit), but McConnell had an easy route to call back the Senate immediately under an emergency statute. He wouldn't go along with it, nor a hyperspeed trial. Once he's acting fucky, the route to an immediate canning was gone.

But yeah, very bad for small-d democracy.

I've thought about quonset huts too. Stacked lumber cabins, I actually worked up the numbers, around $6k for walls for a 1000 sq ft cabin in 4x4s, before even looking at roofing. A-frames are mighty tempting too. No yurts. No earthships.

Honestly, spending a week or two making triangles from 2x8s and another week bolting them together seems within my reach, because my aim is as few hands possible to build. Structural oddity of it all is just a perk no one will notice from 5 miles off the nearest paved road.


This is pretty interesting, but earthen homes are oddly restricted in some places where I'm looking. Also cost.

Shotcrete/aircrete domes are another rabbit hole. Basically build a rebar cage around an air bladder and hose it with lightweight concrete. Domes are drawing me in recently, but it's the few hands part I prefer. I might have 2 other bodies to throw at it, and simplicity reduces fuckups.

This is from waaaaay back but a couple of years ago the ex and I stayed in one of the shotcrete domes, conveniently located in the trippy Crestone, CO. It's definitely different, and the sound travels in really cool ways, but I'd be absolutely looking into something like that if funds allowed. I've been a bit stuck on the concept myself.

The vast majority of people you see sporting lycra on a bicycle have spent more than what a Peloton costs on their equipment. 2,500 bucks or whatever isn't cheap but it's cheap when you are talking about road bikes.

Such revocations are rare but not impossible. George W. Bush revoked his own pardon of a man named Isaac Toussie in 2008, after learning that Toussie’s father had contributed to Republican politicians. (The pardon could be revoked because it hadn’t yet reached Toussie.)

Trump loving up his own pardons could be the last great self-own of a tenure made up almost entirely of self-owns.
