Deathy McDeath posted:RE: budget stuff Lets not get crazy now. Its just smart enough to realize Trump's budget doesn't work and they aren't ready to fight out a real one. So they basically just extended the same poo poo we have had. Also they can't write a new one until health care reform is finally sorted out and they decide if they are going to completely gently caress the tax code. Which is why they pushed everything back to September.

So apparently there is going to be a Trump interview aired on SirrusXM 124 containing this: https://twitter.com/IsaacDovere/status/859020505034231809 Apparently Trump thinks Andrew Jackson was a great person that was upset with the formation of the Confederate States, and would have prevented the Civil War.

Then they do that 3 of the 5 days a week, while running you right to the clock on the other two and when they find out you are in overtime after the fact they throw a gigantic poo poo fit about you not adhering to the schedule. Or is that just a handful of states where that fuckery is legal? Because it was done all the time in more than one place I have worked. Maybe I am misunderstanding something and this doesn't do what I think it does? Or I have been screwed by employers doing things they weren't legally allowed to do?

Right. Re-read the thing and figured out what I was missing.

ded posted:If you have had that happen to you, yes it was illegal. If you work OT you get OT pay, period. It doesn't matter what they say if you work it they owe you. Employers will try to pull all kinds of things that are not actually legal and try to say they are. No. Or at least not the way it reads. What I originally thought was that the law would allow companies to give you time off or defer hours from the end of your work week if you worked over time. In other words say its Wednesday and you are already sitting on 32 hours because you were working late every day. Instead of working the remaining scheduled 16 hours and getting ot, they cut 4 hours both days or have you stay home one. Which would get you back down to 40. What the bill actually does is you work 48 hours and instead of getting 8 hours of OT they just say we will eventually give you 8 hours of time off. Which is wage theft. I knew when I first looked at it, I knew I had to be missing something and turns out I was. Remember back in march when I  for that Trump watersports tape?Here is the conformation email:  $25 to Puppies Behind Bars, $10 to Charity Nav and $1.67 to cover processing fees.

While demonstrating an astounding level of ignorance and managing to be loving wrong, he brings up an issue that at some point someone needs to explain. How did he still have his clearance? The President doesn't control it. But if there were so many issues surrounding Flynn, why didn't someone involved in security clearances at least look into it. If they did, HOW THE gently caress DID THEY THINK HE SHOULD HAVE KEPT IT? Thats what has really bugged me. Someone somewhere hosed up and let this rear end in a top hat keep a clearance he shouldn't have had.

Mr. Nice! posted:His clearance wasn't revoked because he wasn't fired for being in bed with Russians. After he separated from the military, his clearance went inactive just like anyone else's. It probably wasn't worth the hassle to revoke an inactive clearance and it was on the Trump clock that his clearance would have been reactivated. The way I understand it, he had to have it reactivated/reauthorized in August 2016. That is probably where flags should have been raised. But when Obama and Yates both told Trump that there was a problem with Flynn, someone in the security game should have at least known about it. Did the FBI know Flynn had issues since they were already investigating Trump's campaign? If so why didn't the clearance investigators know? If they did, why did they clear him? Were they notified by the Justice department when Yates warned Trump? Were they notified when Obama warned Trump? See a trend here? Somewhere along the lines, it looks like something broke down in keeping track of this rear end in a top hat. I am not saying someone did something intentionally wrong. Or even did something wrong. But maybe, we need to find out how and if there are holes in the system that he managed to crawl through, we probably should fix that.

Kawasaki Nun posted:http://talkingpointsmemo.com/dc/sally-yates-michael-flynn-underlying-conduct-problematic If he cut a deal with the Russians. Any kind of deal. Its a REAL BIG PROBLEM. What kicked all this off was when the Obama administration kicked a bunch of Russian agents out of the country and announced increased sanctions, Flynn hopped on the phone that day to the Kremlin and had a chat. His position was that they never discussed the new sanctions and the agents who were kicked out. Keep in mind every time we imposed sanctions (like the ones from the Crimea incident) or simply voiced displeasure over what ever bullshit they had stuck their nose into, they threw a fit. Yet they didn't over this. The implication is that Flynn struck a deal where they were told to shut up and ride it out and Trump would make the sanctions go away. That is highly illegal. Which is where blackmail comes in. There Russians have it on tape and transcripts. So now, knowing that could essentially destroy Flynn and possibly Trump, he becomes a major liability. Anything and everything they want, he has to fork over so they don't tell the world what kind of fuckery he has been engaged in. The terrifying thing is, if he did a back door weasel deal over sanctions, what else did he back door? Just how much poo poo has he done to screw the US. Also keep in mind, its not just about bailing them out of one incident. Its all the potential poo poo he did, and would have been able to do had he not been fired. He may have dusted a few hookers, but he may have also tried to sell the US, its policies or secrets to the Russians.

M_Gargantua posted:Guess what! KildarX posted:I thought the Senate has to wait or they can't do the reconciliation thingy. They can't do poo poo with out a CBO score. To push this through they have to do it under reconciliation, or have 60 votes. They don't have 60 votes. To do it under reconciliation, which you would only need 51 votes, it has to meet some bizarre rules. At one point some of the stuff in the bill didn't even qualify as part of reconciliation so those parts would have to be removed. CBO is the road block and Senate Reds would need to spend 2 months re-writing all the Senate rules to bypass it. They aren't going to do that just to push a worse re-write of a bill that had 17% support of the general public. They have no choice but to make it more moderate or just dump it into a shredder and start over from scratch.

hobbesmaster posted:It only takes 51 votes to change the rules of the senate. Even if they do not explicitly kill the filibuster 51 votes could say that "this bill totally counts".

Killing the filibuster would be the "2 months re-writing all the Senate rules" part. Because thats what would happen due to all the issues with doing it. Like convincing several republicans to agree to it. They are not going to ram this pile of poo poo though the way the house did. They will rewrite parts of the AHCA because their majority is already highly endangered. McConnell is a loving idiot who would do something stupid like ram this steaming pile of poo poo through, but there are enough smart GOP senators who will not let it happen and force him to pump the breaks. The House is a loving clown show. The Senate is much more aware of their situation and will be much more careful in the way it attempts to gently caress the American public.

ded posted:Trump has been spilling secrets since BEFORE he got sworn in. This is not a new thing he is doing. There is a difference between spilling secrets and completely loving up the ability to work with foreign contacts under the table for sweet sweet intel that actually helps protect this country. Trump did the latter. LtCol J. Krusinski posted:He provided intel from an allied source in ISIS pertaining to airplane bombing plans with laptops. Yes its legal. Thats not the problem. Its selling out sources who were operating under a "tell no one" agreement with probably the CIA. He just ruined a very important intel tool.

Reverand maynard posted:how does washington post know trump leaked to the russians? The impression that I got was right after the meeting they realized that Trump verbally poo poo out our non disclosure intel so they had to notify the CIA and NSA, then scrub all the internal memos of important details. It wasn't that someone inside the meeting leaked the details, it was someone involved in trying to cover up and do damage control. Apparently WaPo has all the details on exactly what was said, down to the actual intel that was spilled. It is so accurate and detailed that they called people in the IC/White house to find out what they needed to cut out so they didn't get our intel source killed. WaPo: more responsible with national security than the president.
