The piss part of the piss tape was only one of the allegations; weren't there rumors of bribes in exchange for lifting sanctions? That would certainly be an impeachable offense, but obviously a Republican Congress wouldn't get involved.

Unless you mean that Ryan will have to leaf through a,couple of pages of whatever Koch-sponsored tax reform package gets delivered to his office.

Asproigerosis posted:I suspect there are plenty of democrats that are willing to cross the aisle to 'compromise' to build political favor without a second thought. See: Everything they've done (or lack thereof) since the trumpening. True, but the "Hastert rule" means that the Republicans will never pass a bill that relies on Democratic support. We saw it back with the suicide Caucus, and we'll see it again.

Consummate Professional posted:I believe it is true because that dumb rear end EO that says obama care can't cost anything? The IRS is still enforcing the mandate, they just won't reject returns that don't report the coverage. They will probably send out CP 2000s in a year or two if the mandate isn't repealed.

Epic High Five posted:finished Pebble in the Sky and it was one of Asimov's better books by far, at least as far as writing goes. If you're going through the arc from the start then the main premise shouldn't seem alien but if it's someone's first venture into the Asimov universe it, mind reading and mind control poo poo hastily explained by science, may seem a bit contrived and odd. Fun book otherwise. All that's left to defeat all of the grand Asimov arc now is the Foundation books Was that stuff in pebble in the sky? Been so long, I only really remember the whole Space-North Korea aspect of it. Did you read Nemesis? One of his lesser known books, but pretty good. Reminded me a lot of the plot of SMAC, but written well before that.

When I lived in California a decade or so ago, I could vote by mail just by ticking a box on my registration, didn't have to make an excuse or anything.

That's ignored though because Donny was born to massive wealth and was able to successfully turn it into mega massive wealth (by selling us out to Russia and getting that sweet Rosneft cash). Has there been any new info on the Rosneft sale, or is it still circumstantial evidence at this point?

ShutteredIn posted:https://twitter.com/Gizmodo/status/836377379920564224 Really? That's Gizmodo's takeaway? The 10% tariff gets no mention, but the weird noise about Japan rejecting American food imports does? He's not saying that he disapproves of food safety, just that we should use it to screw with Japan because he thinks they're using it to screw with American imports.

Nixon's taxes were leaked (because he was cheating on them, lol) and they caught the guy who did it. It wasn't a felony then, but it is sure as poo poo is now.
