Getting really close to breaking the Hastert rule. Not that it ever actually mattered, but it'd be nice to get rid of a notion named after the monster.

jokes posted:So dumb, but maybe he thinks it'll put the whole thing to rest as a public hearing is going to be MTG showing off his dong to the world, while a private hearing is going to be MTG showing off his dong to a bunch of thirsty republicans who have already seen it. Nothing of substance will come out of it, and they might get more ammunition by talking poo poo in public than trying to constrain it to the private hearing where non-Republicans will be able to confirm what was or wasn't said, now that the circus reached new heights Can only assume it's because he just wants it all put to rest, but yeah, MTG and the other republicans don't just give up, they'll pick just pick something else they can yell about him about.

Can't trust the SCOTUS but I think there is a really strong case to disqualify him. Probably a poo poo ton of chaos ensues if they do.

I swear if the Dems still manage to bully Johnson into letting the child tax credit deal go through after all this it'll be the most wholesomely funny thing to happen in two years. Bonus points if they betray him immediately afterward.

He's a lovely, horrible, person and I still call bullshit on not having a bank account, but them having a pet speaker of the house would be one step below having a majority of their own. "Oh yeah would be a real shame if those freedom caucus whack jobs voted to remove you. Better agree to this budget or we might forget who you are like the last guy. Think I hear them banging on the door right now. What ya gonna do there Mr. Speaker?"

I know the Trump brigade has been glomming onto this, but I need some help from the legal folks in this thread. 1. How was this leaked in the first place if it's been under seal? 2. How does this have any bearing on Trump's innocence or guilt? 3. (And this is not a question) - I really hate the recently passed legislation to challenge and remove prosecutors in GA. 4. If she or he is removed, does their discovery evidence still remain for the second string to build upon? https://twitter.com/AnnaBower/status/1748120424993407019

No idea, maybe some chud leaked it or knew about the affair and they dug up some info 2. It doesn't 3. 4. I think so, it doesn't seem like the case can get dismissed over this or even result in a mistrial, the DA and prosecutor just get replaced. Possibly with chuds.

It was in a now sealed divorce filing but likely amounts to nothing. quote:Merchant cites unidentified sources close to Willis and Wade, but told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution that she reviewed Wade’s divorce filing. The divorce records have since been sealed, according to the filing. quote:Former DeKalb County prosecutor J. Tom Morgan, a professor at Western Carolina University, says that even if the allegations are true, he does not believe Willis broke the law or this means the end of Fulton County’s case.

Not that wild when they're both owned by capital and one party's charge is to appear reasonable to capture labor's reasoned voters and the other party's charge is to oppose them in equal measure so that labor is completely removed from the political process. The latter party doesn't get voters by loving goats or not loving goats, they get voters by not being democrats. This way the democrats can always appear reasonable and correct and voters will think there's something to hope for, and then rich people will simply trick enough people to vote for republicans so that democrats aren't actually given the opportunity to do the things they appear to want to do. If enough people vote for democrats, democrats (like TRUMP when he won) will sit there being like "gently caress we actually have to do things?" and then they try to self-correct and move to the right, because capital is happiest when no party has a majority-- Elon Musk said this explicitly. If right-wingers win enough, capital gets corporate cocaine, destroy the economy and cause world wars. TRUMP winning was a surprise to everyone and he immediately sent capital into a corporate coke spiral, causing all the problems that were going to happen regardless of Covid: inflation from cheap/free money, absurd real estate valuations, widening income gaps, etc. jokes fucked around with this message at 00:56 on Jan 19, 2024 |

dr_rat posted:They probably going to try and be apolitical somehow, so the two sides will be fighting over some stupid bullshit like if soft drinks are called "soda" or if their called "pop". Yeah A24 or not, this movie is almost certainly going to have to invent a ridiculous "both sides" premise to show all the warring factions in an equally bad light. The last thing a movie's financial backers want is an unflinching depiction of what chuds are on record saying they can't wait to carry out. That won't sell a lot of popcorn. Mr Ice Cream Glove posted:Does anyone here think SCOTUS could rule against Trump on ballot issue? And if they did what happens next Even though disqualification from the ballot is not a criminal penalty, I think the majority is going to use all the tortured logic they possibly can to rule that  in this very special case, we have to consider the ripple effects of plainly reading the text of Section 3, therefore due process must be considered and Trump can't be removed from the ballot unless he's convicted of the crime in question. Even if by some miracle they uphold the Colorado ruling, it will only be deep blue states disqualifying him.

Pot Smoke Phoenix posted:It goes "Democrats, decorum Republicans, rapists" in case it gets confusing to tell the two apart Robert Caro's series on LBJ is really infuriating during the parts where he covers the conservative coalition during the New/Fair Deal Era. Conservative senators, especially in the South, could get away with anything as long as they kept Civil Rights and other progressive bills at bay. This allowed them to control committees through seniority and simply amassing experience with parliamentary tricks, patronage, and networking. First-term liberals were harder to keep in office, because their voters expected immediate results and tended to lose enthusiasm if they failed to produce or compromised. It puts things into perspective when you realize just how much FDR and Truman failed to accomplish, given how we think of them today. It does make LBJ's power plays a lot more satisfying in the end, even if he was (and had) a colossal dick.
