Random Stranger posted:Actually, president-elect kinda is. It's not written into the constitution, but there are other federal laws that grant certain privileges to the president-elect to insure a smooth transition. They get an office, funds for hiring staff, access to information, rhat kind of thing. It was a big deal in 2020 that Trump wasn't following the law and letting Biden have the things he was legally entitled to. It's also nothing even remotely new. But of course frothy-mouth Trumpsters have no knowledge of, among many other things, history.  quote:...authorizing me to invite Abraham Lincoln President Elect of the United States while on his journey to Washington City to visit the State Capital... BUT IT'S NOT A THING. SOMEHOW. Escape From Noise posted:Yeah. That's fair. I guess it just drove me nuts that they acted like it was this whole new concept when I remember it being used back as far as I can remember national elections. Longer.

Rescue Toaster posted:Yeah I saw those stories a few days ago that Biden and senate leadership had agreed to some top-line numbers and thought no loving way the HFC is going to be happy with this just because they got some cuts to the IRS to help their friends cheat on their taxes more. I read an article today in WaPo which seem to indicated substantial Repub support for this, other than the screaming monkeys in the "Freedom Caucus". But it's likely they will screech and howl over anything and everything.

kazil posted:meanwhile, things are going great in Congress They don't have the senate or white house so Inot sure what kind of "wins" they think they could get. Even their ability to hold the country hostage with the budget is weakened due to the sliver majority and the fact that nobody is putting up with it anymore.

You reach down and flip it over on its back, its belly baking in the hot sun, beating its legs trying to turn itself over. But it can't. Not with out your help. But you're not helping. Why is that? basic harm mitigation, that's why

mystes posted:Yeah the problem is that, while it's possible to hypothetically imagine a system where the president has to be impeached and removed form office before criminal prosecution is possible, if that applies to everything and not just execution of official duties, it means that the president could literally just assassinate congresspeople to prevent impeachment, so I don't think any court is going to be able to accept that option. Actually, you will find that they'll argue that assassinating a congressperson still qualifies as an execution of official duty since he's doing it in order to keep the government running because the impeachment would have interfered with that.

Strong Sauce posted:watch this video I got into an argument with a (literally) 400 pound guy at work who unironically claimed he could take Holly Holm in an octagon, he'd just grab her. I said even if she just didn't decide to jaw him and immediately end it, he'd never lay a finger on her and gas. He got super offended about it, like I was an idiot for not seeing that he, a morbidly obese man, couldn't beat up a world class trained fighter that was a silly woman. Some guys are super weird about admitting a woman is better than them at anything. Anyway RIP to Ryan Dunn  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NB5EbhmJsZc

On the other hand, you could say it only applies to official duties of the president specifically enumerated in the constitution, but that's probably so narrow it's basically useless.

Oh, no, I just realized what this crazy poo poo is based on. There's this super popular Superbowl commercial for Dodge trucks that's based on a monologue called "So God Made a Farmer" by Paul Harvey. It's shown at rodeos and FFA events and the like all the time. Guess I can't say I'm surprised; they know their audience.

Veep Reboot in five years. First scene is them having an argument of who they're allowed to execute and it not be considered of official duty. The lawyer always annoying them by telling them 'no you can execute those people', is obviously the first to go.

The funny thing about this is it's mostly pissing off conservatives. The original piece, So God made a Farmer is basically holy scripture to conservative farmers and the agricultural and livestock sectors. If you're conservative and farm, you've got that on a commemorative plate, or hung up in the kitchen in Mama's hand stitching somewhere almost guaranteed. Trump taking it and shoving his name and politics into it has pissed off more conservatives than are cheering it. The broke brained chuds eat up anything he spews but there are plenty that get especially pissed at a know nothing gold plated moron who has never lifted a finger to do an ounce of work in his lifetime sullying it by forcing himself into a piece they hold dear.

I mean I don't think you're wrong but if he gets the nomination then 100.0000% of those "non-chud conservatives" are still going to vote for him because of the (R) after his name.

he sees her not utterly humiliating the guy in the first 200 bc she's just doing a daily workout and not competing, as the guy holding his own, lol she runs slowly with him because she's working out at her leisure, not because she's at her limit, and then when she feels ready she blasts ahead. she literally doesn't even see him as competition and isn't even giving the guy the dignity of an actual race, he's just running next to her as she does her usual workout. just lol that walsh can't even tell that.

The judges today grilled both parties on what would be the absolute best outcome - they rule that there's no jurisdiction because this is an interlocutory appeal with no exception. Neither party has argued this. The argument came from amici who said "this is an improperly timed appeal he has to wait until judgment is final first." Now, I don't think they'll rule on that, but a dismissal of the appeal as improvident that does not get picked up by the SCOTUS would be the funniest outcome. This would mean immediately back to trial court and no more appeals at all until after final judgment. I doubt this happens, but it is the best outcome.

You could easily run a 400 to see if you're at least comparable before embarrassing yourself like this.

Haven't Republicans (possible Trump himself) argued that anything a politician does in order to get reelected counts as an official act, because the politician believes they are the best person for the job so its in the country's best interest to see them reelected?
