Maddow opened her show announcing she was looped out on drugs and was sent home by the doctor but came back to work JUST to talk about Jared Kushner. That's not newsworthy, I just found it funny.

if gianforte wins, republicans have to deal with a colleague charged with misdemeanor assault who may have to spend the first six months of his term in a county jail. he's going to enter congress universally loathed and an easy target for 2018. i'll be happy if the democrats are within single digits in montana. there's no reason the race should be as close as it is.

This is a ridiculous hypothetical, because my 1L grades would've needed to be a lot better, but I have no trouble saying I'd clerk for Scalia, Thomas, or Roberts, and I'm as poo poo-libby as they come. Alito, though. Man, I know you take the clerkship if offered, but I really loathe that son of a bitch.

If nothing else you'd get the chance to debate with someone who was capable of forming the best possible argument for whatever devil act he was about. It wouldn't shock me if liberal clerks changed their minds on a few things. I bet some conservative under RBG has changed a few views too.

"Oh woe is me, my congress members won't listen to what I say" Bitches, I live in New York, there is literally no one I can talk to because they already agree with me. I can do exactly gently caress all about this situation! At least you people in deep red states can hope your words poke them slightly! Sucks!

https://twitter.com/thehill/status/867908415921823746 Hannity's up to seven advertisers dropped, now. I'm worried that his cowardly attempt to say how he's decided to respect the family's wishes while also saying he meant every word might mean enough advertisers decided to hang on, but it's Hannity so it's not like there will be any shortage of reasons to tell advertisers to ditch him.

Tiny Brontosaurus posted:If it's true that Covok is 24 then his gimmick is mostly explained by the fact that the consequence-understanding part of his brain is finally starting to grow in. Most people in their mid-twenties go through a phase where they're in the thrall of what amounts to brain-puberty. You get a spike in anxiety, obsessions with bad outcomes, and what's weirdly common is a certainty that you'll die young, which is your newfound ability to grasp mortality fighting with your adolescent conviction that you're special and something noteworthy is destined to happen to you. You have a serious problem. exploded mummy posted:where ever he lives now isn't Binghamton Yeah, it's nice being away from that place. The skyline is like loving Mars. You know, gray. A lot of people don't know that, but it's gray. And it's always cold there. Pretty lovely place all around.

If they're gonna do this, might as well go full-on GOP-controlled House during the Obama years and pass every pie-in-the-sky act they can think of--but instead of repealing the ACA a countless times, they pass every progressive thing they can think of. $15 minimum wage, sure--then single payer, then (again, all purely symbolic) sweeping healthcare reform that would bring down costs and why not throw in free public college too? It'll at least get people excited for 2020--assuming they win in 2018. If they don't have to worry about it getting signed into law, they don't have to worry about actually agreeing on it.

Lumberjack Bonanza posted:https://twitter.com/thehill/status/867908415921823746 I think it's a matter of time for Hannity. Even if he drops this Seth Rich thing and manages to survive it it's just a matter of time before he does something else insane and disgusting. Hannitys survived because he was too much of a joke for anyone to actually take seriously. This higher profile he currently has thanks to the turmoil at Fox and coziness with the Trump Admin shines a light on all the hosed up poo poo Hannity does on the regular. He'd have to dramatically change his act to avoid more scandals. And I think hes currently proving he can't do that.

Demon Of The Fall posted:He'll get nothing but high fives and that a boys from his buddies and won't spend a minute in jail why would any congressional republican want to be associated with a guy charged with assaulting a reporter? i get that cynicism is often this thread's schtick, but it is difficult for me to imagine a world where alleged assault is a positive for a republican candidate. even if public response ends up being muted, every one of his colleagues is going to wonder when he might snap again and if he is worth spending tons of money to defend in the next cycle. at best, he gets tolerated. game this out for me. i know that anne coulter and rush limbaugh might embrace him, because being crude is part of their brand, but endorsing attacks on journalists is still beyond the pale for most politicians and an extreme political liability.
