haveblue posted:Where did that guy get an unrestrained bear? Who would agree to provide a bear and let it run completely free in a developed area, near VIPs and audience members? Is the handler right now on the bus, tied to a chair, screaming about how the consequences are not his responsibility? Did they just lure a wild bear out of the woods themselves? I have so many questions. The bear is enclosed in a series of wires which I'm assuming is an electric fence of some kind. You can make them out in some of the pictures. Which begs the question of why the candidate is so close to electrified wires that can stop a bear, but he is running as a 'Beast'.

Are we going to see a situation where 45% of voters want to keep Newsom, but he gets replaced by Jenner who only gets 25%? ^^^^^ Question answered, and holy poo poo that's an insane system. How is any governor NOT getting recalled? Would Jenner or whoever be subject to a recall immediately or is there some limitation?

But, Jenner would only be serving out the rest of Newsom's term. So, you'd end up with a recall election scheduled for the same day as the normal election would be anyway. California's ballot measure system is very permissive and enshrined in the state constitution.

I consider myself very liberal on most issues but I am also somewhat anti-witch. I think Democrats could win a lot of seats where they're currently locked out if they just stopped talking about witches, and sometimes actually being witches. I talk to a lot of people at the weekly Witch-Hunting association who say they would like to vote blue except for this one issue. Food for thought.

Which is why the Dems are trying to stay united in not letting anyone on the ballot who even looks remotely appealing and making the question just "Do you want a republican governor?" For your second question I think the only barrier to triggering a recall election is getting signatures from 11% of the state (which is absurdly low IMO).

Are we going to see a situation where 45% of voters want to keep Newsom, but he gets replaced by Jenner who only gets 25%? It's pretty expensive to collect enough signatures so it's really only worth it if you think you have a decent shot at winning a majority on the removal question. The reason the GOP doesn't try to recall every governor is that voters would get sick of it and just go "gently caress you sore losers, no". But yeah anytime the governor is unpopular or they think they can make hay out of a scandal they try it, I mean why not. It's also a gamble: in 2003 the top Republican in the state (I forget his name and I don't care enough to google it, you can though) funded the recall effort against Gray Davis with millions of dollars of his own money, expecting to be a shoo-in against the divided Democrats in disarray, then whoops a big Hollywood celebrity swooped in and grabbed the votes right out from under him. And the GOP turned out to be not much happier with liberal RINO Schwarzenegger than a Democrat anyway. They bitched and moaned for years because Arnold didn't hate the environment hard enough for them.

Looks like Barr and Trump might be in a bit of trouble. https://thehill.com/regulation/551755-judge-orders-release-of-trump-obstruction-memo-accuses-barr-of-being-disingenuous?amp Judge Reggie Walton posted:"The inconsistencies between Attorney General Barr's statements, made at a time when the public did not have access to the redacted version of the Mueller Report to assess the veracity of his statements, and portions of the redacted version of the Mueller Report that conflict with those statements cause the Court to seriously question whether Attorney General Barr made a calculated attempt to influence public discourse about the Mueller Report in favor of President Trump despite certain findings in the redacted version of the Mueller Report to the contrary," Walton wrote in his decision. In a nutshell, looks like Barr was using the DOJ to shield Trump and "misleading" the court on how they were internally handling it, pretending they were seriously considering prosecution but gosh darn shoot the OLC memo about sitting presidents can't be charged just got in the way... When in reality, yeah, they were never going to do it. It was just a dog and pony show.

I think that Trumps calculus has to in part be based on making all these sycophants continue to fight in court to save themselves. If he had pardoned them they may have been compelled to provide evidence of their crimes (not a lawyer, not sure how true this is) which could implicate Trump. This way seems like it will spread everything out for years more as cases are brought and won or lost and appealed.

Either way.. having his message truncated to half of the first sentence when tweeted and having to click on it to read it kind of defeats the whole point of twitter. Like nobody is reading it because it's too much effort. And it's probably too much effort for him to post on, because he can't just fire off a random post on the toilet. Someone is editing these, which takes away the rawness of what his twitter was. It doesn't even feel like him, this could be someone else for all we know posting as him It's so telling because this blog has been up over a month and I literally don't see anybody posting about it anywhere.

FMguru posted:My guess is that the recall was launched into motion a couple of months ago on the possibility that the COVID situation (and the state economy) would completely unravel and lead to a groundswell of support to replace Newsom with someone - anyone! - but the state got a handle on things, vaccine rates are high, infection rates are way down, the economy is coming back strong, and everything is opening back up. They were betting on a much worse situation than what we have, so now it's a longshot. If the recall had been timed to occur in January, they might have had a good chance, but for now it's long odds (which are still better than the zero odds Republicans have of winning statewide usually). Yeah, given how early they started, they were hoping for something to happen sooner, but with 1300 active cases according to the COVID tracker on ca.gov, I'd be willing to bet it fails miserably.

Darrel Issa put in $2m of his own money to bankroll the signature gathering effort. He dropped out of the race the day after Schwarzenegger announced he was running on The Tonight Show It's also worth mentioning that Gray Davis' favorability polling was in the mid 20s at the time of the recall election. Newsom is nowhere near that.

I find "Rudy has dirty on Trump" absolutely hilarious. Not because he doesn't: he absolutely does. It's because Rudy would never divulge it willingly but he's likely got fat stacks of crap that's incriminating for Trump just lying around his office that the FBI paid a visit to recently.
