ReidRansom posted:I like that we still all collectively pretend that Harry is actually related to his father and not the bastard son of Diana's bodyguard that the royal family was forced to accept for fear of scandal. Or whatever. He's prematurely balding like Charles. I'm currently obsessed with this engagement because I had a crush on Harry as a tween and my mom told me he'd never marry a mixed girl so lmao mcmagic posted:She must be insane... Who the hell would voluntarily choose that life? Because she loves him and she did more charity work than acting, clearly feels more fulfilled with charitable work, and that's basically all you do as a Duchess, anyway. Also he gave her a ring that he personally designed, featuring diamonds from Diana's personal collection. That's pretty hard to turn down. Hopefully they're genuinely in love and not involved in some Scandal type nonsense.

This week is make or break. Possible vote Thursday. Here's what you need to know. (politico.com/story/2017/11/…) The holdouts are Collins, McCain, Flake, Corker, Murkowski, Moran, Johnson, Daines, Lankford, and . Their demands are conflicting: some want more deficit busting, some want no deficits. While the tax cuts for individuals expire after 2025, the tax cuts for corporations are permanent -- paid for by tax increases on middle-income households and repeal of the individual mandate. The stealth tax increases on middle-income households result from switching to a lower inflation measure (chained CPI) to grow tax brackets more slowly over time -- pushing more people into higher tax brackets. Repeal of the individual mandate will increase premiums for 60-year olds by $1,269 in 2019, more than canceling out tax cuts for middle-income households. (Source: Commonwealth Fund)

So with McCain, Corker and Flake as nays, the bill isn't passing. Even if they manage to bribe Collins and Murkowski (the latter of which seems to already have happened). Right?

Moderate Republicans are the people who express concern or reservations about the horrible poo poo their party does, but always votes straight-ticket Republican because of some "good republican" they imagine exists or must have existed at one point. I once justified my vote for McCain-Palin because Newt Gingrich once said Climate Change was real, and since Democrats were "just as bad" because Al Gore rode a plane once I declared important at that moment I might as well vote for the republican. Basically, a moderate republican is someone with a shred of a soul or independent thought who is constantly in a battle to either kill that last vestige of humanity or finally face the fact that the GOP has no redeeming qualities whatever.

A lot of self-identified moderate Republicans are increasingly finding themselves in the position of choosing between voting for a Democrat or voting for an extremist every time an election for national office comes up. If they consistently vote for Democrats, are they still Republicans? If they consistently vote for madmen, are they still moderates?

It's because, in this case, the law is fairly clear. or at least not unclear enough that a legal challenge will succeed. Despite the lovely way that it was done, and the legal cover given by the Dobbs-Frank Act for Leandra English's claim, Trump does have the right to nominate an Acting Director as long as whoever he nominates has already been confirmed by the Senate for another Executive level appointment of at least the same level. That right can over-ride other succession rules if he chooses to exercise it.

Gum posted:Pretty standard PRINCESS DIANA thinks the Duchess of Cambridge is “perfect” but does not believe Meghan Markle is the one for Prince Harry, the late royal’s former spiritual counsellor has claimed. "It's very strange how I can still hear her. It's very weird. I hear her voice speaking to me about world events, and being desperately in love with her grandchildren.” Diana was even worried about mother-of-two Kate “losing too much weight at one point,” Ms Simmons claims. She added: “But she's more than happy with Kate. Perfect. “She said what she wants for Harry is that she's totally dependable, because he's extremely sensitive.” And in a bizarre claim, Ms Simmons said Diana has even shared her political views with her, revealing she would have backed Brexit during the EU referendum because Britain was “great” before it entered the Brussels club. Ms Simmons said: “I know a lot of people aren't going to like it but she said we've got to vote for Brexit. "Britain was great, economically and production wise and before we joined the EU. She was interested in the referendum and suggested I vote to leave because Britain was really great before the EU. “That's the only political thing she's ever said - because she loved the country. She loved the monarchy even though she criticised it.”
