What is this day 50 something? Was obama's first x amount of days that exciting? I vaguely remember him closing git mo and then finding out it's kinda more complex than that and not really anything else.

That would be the most hosed up thing in American history in at least the last fifty years or so right? If one entire political party sold america up the river just to get 4-8 years of control.

I think the better question is why does it matter if any sitting congressman is seen with Russians? Did the world go insane? The problem isn't "congress is appearing to be influenced by Russia." The Problem is "The Russians influenced the executive election some how, a bunch of people in the executive that where installed by Trump have Overt ties to the Russian Government and a few have suspected ties, and some may even be innocent of having any ties, Trump himself was surrounded by people with ties to Russia during his election, and Trump has been talking about lifting sanctions and detente with Russia. The question is, is the executive branch compromised by Russia and if so how bad is it."

MassivelyBuckNegro posted:i would say that intelligence agencies leaking poo poo directly to the press is bad. but, if congress wont act on it in the normal fashion(i assume that someone provides a report to the house/senate commitees and they decide what to do), it seems necessary. Depends, you really want the three letter agencies to start disapearing members of the executive? That's how you get coups. I mean there's nothing that intel agencies can do at this point besides continually leak worse and worse poo poo so that public outcry finally forces the congress to do the needful and take trump out behind the gym. The Judiciary has to bring charges up and good loving luck with Sessions as the Attorney General or the Congress has to do it and good luck with republicans in power and Trump still having a high approval rating among their constituents.

MassivelyBuckNegro posted:no, i think you misunderstand. should trump/et al actually be russian agents and should the ic continue to leak to the press(vice whatever the normal channel is), then eventually congress will be forced to act*. following that, it should be made clear(typically, done by firing, restructuring, and law making) that american intelligence agencies should not be involved in domestic politics. So fire the only people who had any power to do poo poo about Trump and did it? I mean lofty ideals and all good on you but practically speaking it's not like they threw themselves after Trump before he became a liability to the standing and national security of the USA.

So what would be the best response to the Senators letter, "We obtained a warrant to tap phones in trump tower due to an investigation involving [Russia, Hookers, Gangsters, Fraud, what ever] and found lots of incriminating evidence of [x, y, or z]" or "No, there where no taps."

I can't imagine why Rachel Maddow would put out a wet fart, a couple of seconds of googling says MSNBC and her show specifically are doing fantastic ratings, so it's not like they're hurting for ratings at all. Is this sort of an attempt at death by a thousand paper cuts sort of deal? Where regardless of the inanity of it such as "Trump loves burnt steak with ketchup." "These tax returns don't have anything extremely shady, just kinda scummy." they'll post it in an attempt to turn Trump insane?

The upside is a lot of idiots will die or get really sick of MMR or something. The downside is a lot of idiots Kids are gonna get it and die, and a lot of kids who couldn't get their shots in time are gonna die. So on the bright side a bunch of idiots might learn shots are necessary and a lot of parents might get so pissed off they'll actually do something about it. I mean poo poo we're not so far removed from the generation that parents got so angry that certain elements of society had salty language and sexy videos they forced the MPAA and RIAA to label everything.

I know there's a moratorium on gun chat and punching hitlerites, but can there be also a moratorium on Bernie vs Hillary chat? At this point it's played out to "Bernie was more Charismatic/Bernie was Unelectable/Hillary is a black hole of charisma that hosed the DNC and all DNC Nobles should be hung" and nobody is changing their mind or having a new thought about it. edit edit: Someone already talked about McDonalds slamming trump.

Godholio posted:From the very last page, and there are plenty of public officials that like using DOD as the "perfect target" for budget cuts. We've seen it since 1992, and at some point we go too far, but the defense budget is still the big target because it's a huge amount of money and barring a major war when it's too late, there's almost no way to prove that we've gone too far. I mean what else you're gonna cut? Military at 16% of the budget, Medicare at 27% of the budget, or Social Security at 33%? Everything else tends to be one or two percent of the budget.

I know gently caress all about the army, so be patient. When my brother signed up at a recruiting station they had him sign a contract listing the MOS he wanted to get and all that good poo poo, if the military is hard up for folks is there room to negotiate the terms of a re-enlistment? Like I want MOS a,b,c,d, or e and if there isn't a spot within 45 days of signing the contract becomes void? Or is it more similar to getting a bunch of boiler plate and they hand you santa's wishlist?
