So from 98-100, how much of a regressive shitheel is that guy? Note you can go above 100, but please try to be reasonable.

Last night was NJ primary to see who from each party will run for Chris Christy's replacement and numbers are very interesting. quote:Roughly 240,000 people participated in the Republican primary this year, which is down from 2009, the last time the position was contested on the Republican side. In 2009, 334,000 people voted in the Republican gubernatorial primary, according to the New Jersey Department of State, meaning there was a drop of nearly 100,000 votes this year compared to six years ago. On the other hand, in 2017, 493,000 people voted on the Democratic side, up from 200,000 in 2009. http://www.nj.gov/state/elections/election-results/2009-official-primary-elect-governor-tallies-062909.pdf

There's no way he won't be asked by democratic senators and there's no way Trump didn't ask him about doing so when selecting him. Comedy option is for the GOP to avoid putting him under oath for the hearings.

Timeless Appeal posted:Obama might be the first US President who becomes more powerful after his presidency. I think stuff like the video in support of Macron is a sign of things to come. Trump might be President. Obama is still a leader if not the leader. Jimmy Carter. Or Reagan (if you count power attributed to him and not power he personally wields)

Night10194 posted:So is this like, the first time in the last 16 years GOP politicians have ever, ever admitted they were wrong about this poo poo. No, because the people who originally passed the cuts still insisted they were right. Democrats voted for moderate Republicans in primaries (plus backlash by suburban Republicans over cuts to their schools) and the Brownback supporters were kicked out.

PST posted:It's just a primary etc. etc. but that seems to be very telling of voter engagement or lack therof. I'm getting flashbacks to the 2016 presidential primaries, where the much higher than normal turnout for the Republican contests was hand-waved away by very knowledgeable people. Don't you know that the number of primary voters isn't correlated with turnout during the election?

Sinteres posted:Yesterday Trump made Spicer tell everyone his tweets are official White House statements, so I think that line of defense has been abandoned. Trump didn't like his surrogates telling everyone to ignore him. Spicer said both "Trumps tweets are important" and "Seriously, the media needs to stop focusing on his tweets" in the exact same sentence yesterday. They have not abandoned that line of defense in the slightest.

Probably. I'm sure a ton of agents feel it's their Constitutional and moral duty to uphold the law by leaking conversations and knowledge of the investigation rather than involve themselves in the nepotistic predilections of an increasingly senile fat rear end like Trump.

And THERE IT IS. THE RUSSIAN CONNECTION. The man the President wants to be the FBI head's law firm is a consultant for Rosneft. http://www.energyintel.com/pages/articlesummary/895380/us-firm-to-consult-rosneft-on-lng quote:LNG Intelligence And who, you may ask, is Rosneft? This article from 2 hours ago: quote:Russia's sale of one-fifth of its state-owned oil company to Qatar and commodities giant Glencore PLC last year had an unusual provision: Moscow and Doha agreed Russia would buy a stake back, people familiar with the matter said.

I think it's less that and more that the FBI is ferocious about being 'independent'. Remember that Deep Throat didn't leak because he was pissed about Nixon's threats to the constitution, just his attempts to point a toady as director of the FBI.

NOT_A_VIRUS.EXE posted:I haven't been following, which human rights laws is May referring to? I don't exactly know, but on NPR shortly after the attack, a lot of people interviewed were saying that the U.K. Government needs to do more, and if increases in surveillance are needed, then that's what the government needs to do. So at least increasing surveillance talking points we're going around, so privacy may suffer.
