Never make the mistake of forgetting that for all her tinfoil anti-Trump stuff, Mensch is a particularly self-serving Tory, and that during the phone hacking investigations in the UK she used her position on a parliamentary committee to act as an agent for Rupert Murdoch, who's company was up to its neck in trouble. The woman is scum, and absolutely not above volunteering herself to be used as a tool for evil if she can get something out of it.

https://twitter.com/TopherSpiro/status/874250301024456706 It's still really funny how people are acting as though the GOP doesn't know that they're writing a murderously terrible bill and will decide not to kill the poor if we just ask nicely.

Spiritus Nox posted:https://twitter.com/TopherSpiro/status/874250301024456706 It's more about letting Republicans know Democrats can sustain the intensity of opposition to it in the face of Republicans hiding what's going on. Dems need to show Republicans they have as much to fear from general elections as primaries.

So apparently the new lawsuit filed by Maryland and D.C. is contingent upon a federal judge allowing it to proceed. That doesn't fill me with a lot of confidence...

Looking at it, the US District Court for DC has a lean toward Clinton and Obama nominees, so that's promising, maybe. Assuming that's the court making the decision.

It's probably true, though I'm imagining a much larger fallout than would actually happen, because gently caress Gerrymandering. It would all but guarantee Ossoff's election in GA-6 (depending on timing) and it would bode impressively badly for the VA and NJ gubernatorials in November. No Republican on Earth would be able to credibly defend Mueller's firing, especially since he's been almost silent since being hired.

Is there a particular news story you are getting that from? Pretty all lawsuits are contingent upon the judge allowing them to proceed because the firs thing the sued person is going to do is move to have the case dismissed. Koyaanisgoatse posted:It's probably an issue of standing It sounds like Maryland and DC have a pretty good case for standing because their city/state owned convention centers are in pretty much direct competition with Trump's new DC hotel and are losing international business because everyone is trying to butter up Trump by booking his properties.

If nothing mattered, there would be no Senate or House investigation, Comey and Sessions wouldn't be getting hauled before the Intelligence Committee, and Trump's approval rating wouldn't be like 30%. We don't have mechanisms to call early elections in our Constitution. If we did, we'd have done so, and Trump would no longer be in charge.

Try to binge it, it works really well if the previous episodes are fresh in your mind (kind of why the show failed, because so many jokes in the current episode require knowledge of previous episodes or even seasons).
