stillvisions posted:Basically this. The USA can't rely on norms, decorum and "well, nobody would *actually* do that" anymore. If your rules require congress to agree the rules apply to you, then they're not rules. Republicans will 100% fight against these rules without them, or the electorate, batting an eye. They'll even trot out the "Why would we ever need these rules codified: the honor system has worked so far.". Unless a Democrat tries to get around the rules the same way. Then they'll scream and cry without a nanosecond of thought to hypocrisy. And, in the future we're all going to open our brain ports to download the latest newsfig: "Trump administration riddled with corruption and collusion;Trump pardons the people who then refuse to charge him with anything"

Ben Sasse also complains about rap music ruining society, but not in the way you would think! Apparently, Rap in the 80's emphasized entrepreneurship, "the hustle," and respect. Rap today glamorizes sex and drugs. It also teaches kids that there is no way out of their situation, so don't bother with entrepreneurship. He says that Tupac had songs about his love and respect for his mom, but rappers today just talk about weed and don't respect women.

Leon Trotsky 2012 posted:Ben Sasse also says in his book that when he was a kid, it was common for strangers to spank other people's children in public. I was a public school teacher for a bit in Louisiana. Hitting kids was still encouraged by certain administrators at my school. That I was a white teacher in an all-black school is one of the (many) reasons I refused to do it.

eyebeem posted:I've been saying this since November. I honestly believe that nothing matters on the government side of things, the GOP is interested in having one of their guys in the WH to sign their hosed up bills. Trump, Pence, Ryan, does not matter. Trump will not be impeached, he will not be arrested, nothing will happen to impede the freedoms of a politically connected rich old white dude. The only thing that can put pressure on trump is civil litigation. There has to be some bright eyed lawyer out there that smells blood and hopefully find a way to profit from attacking trumps business empire for failure to abide by contracts, ripping off contractors, screwing local governments, etc. If there's no money to be made from that avenue of attack, then nothing will happen to trump. He won't even be voted out of office in 2020, republicans are more interested in their side winning and the average conservative voter would rather hold their nose and vote Trump than ever allow a liberal to win, and the GOP will ensure their voters come out keep their team in the majority.

That I was a white teacher in an all-black school is one of the (many) reasons I refused to do it. Went to a private Catholic high school in Louisiana where it was 98% rich white kids. Paddling was an acceptable punishment by the dean or the principal if you were a real rear end in a top hat. All of the people that I knew that were paddled probably deserved it because they were all little shitheads. The administration had to get written parental consent beforehand though. My parents, my dad specifically, told them to gently caress off and if they touched my brother and I that "he would deal with them." It was a touchy subject where a lot of parents were ok while a vast majority of parents threatened lawsuits so they went with the written consent. The best part was if you got paddled you got to sign the paddle used. Some kids took it as a point of pride.

"Sessions testified under oath on Tuesday that he did not believe he had any contacts with lobbyists working for Russian interests over the course of Trump’s campaign. " So you want to prosecute someone for their beliefs? So much for the Tolerant Left "in a hearing this week before the Senate intelligence committee about whether the attorney general had ever had “any contacts with any representative, including any American lobbyist or agent of any Russian company” during the 2016 campaign, Sessions said he did not. “I don’t believe so,” Sessions said."

An American lobbyist for Russian interests is not a Russian national nor a Russian government representative. Lawyers! Someone, maybe Kamala Harris, got him to say he had no meetings with Russians or persons affiliated with Russia in his capacity as a campaign surrogate, so this argument shouldn't work. Not that they won't try anyway.
