How is this real life, it's like we're being encouraged to watch the testimony and watch Trump's twitter feed live.

This is the best marketing I've ever seen.

Edit: when is the testimony and how do I watch it live? I've got time on Thursday to make this happen.

I know that I seriously prefer open testimony, but what hands are on the till here? The public doesn't get to vote Sessions out of office so he's not particularly beholden to them. Who gets to bring charges against the AG if he slips up and perjurs himself or more likely, admits to doing something woefully illegal?

So there is insufficient evidence that would suggest an impending robot/automation disaster.

Yes there are real problems in the labor market right now that have suppressed wages and job creation, but the source of that lies in our policies regarding globalization, collective bargaining, unemployment, etc. Nothing to do with automation/tech/robots. That narrative is distracting from what truly needs to be addressed: the lack of wage growth and growing inequality caused by policies that have moved economic power from low/mid wage workers, but also our productivity growth is far too low.

It's a game of rock paper scissors. Globalization beats American Manufacturing, Tesla's Gigafactor beats Globalization. Nothing beats the Gigafactory except Full Socialism, I think.

Puerto Rico wouldn't be enough house seats to flip it. 2018 is still going to be a real roughshod election year.

That said, if we get a D swing like 2010 again then the democrats should give statehood to every minor island and principality. Hell, break California into three states.

Any word on whether the President will tweet during Session's testimony? This isn't quite the superbowl that Comey was set up to be, but I don't mind watching what I imagine is the first game of the playoffs. I don't know anything about sports but I'm 90% sure that metaphor isn't mixed.

Wow, such urgency.

Not to put party before country, but this might not be necessarily a great thing. I imagine the Republicans are starting to see that this bandaid has to be pulled off, and as that's the case, they really need to do it as far out from the 2018 elections as humanly possible. There are only so many months they can campaign on "bringing back integrity to the party now that we've hung Trump for Treason". That sort of campaiging is the only way democrats don't get an insane wave in 2018 reminiscent of 2008.

As an aside: Holy poo poo, the Republicans are pro all the vile things in the world that would allow them to maybe actually hang Trump for treason. That would definitely get out the vote come next election cycle.

I believe it is in fact illegal for the @potus Twitter to have any tweets removed since they are considered official government documents. I think Trump has deleted at least one though I could be wrong.

However I think what Trump tweets on his personal Twitter he can do whatever he wants with. I think this is the one he uses for his crazy 3am medicated rants

Trumps personal tweets are official statements from the president, as per both Sean Spicer and codified in a recent ~~Supreme Court~~ 9th Circuit Court Ruling. We should get a lawsuit together to force Twitter to undelete all of Trump's old tweets, as it's literally illegal for them to perform such an action.

Edit: wasn't actually a SupCom ruling, editing to be correct.

Can we have a new word for deep state that better represents who's fighting back against the admin? I don't want to call the FBI doing their job against a president acting in bad faith 'deep', it's more like 'slightly more involved that we usually pay attention to' state.

It'd be like meeting a group of silicon valley CEOs that call themselves the Illuminati. Yes I'm sure you're powerful billionaries but you're definitely not the Illuminati, you built an app to facilitate bored teenagers hooking up.

So um, why is the thread now convinced that Orsoff is going to lose? And why are they acting so smug about it? I mean, the polling hasn't changed and early turnout has been great. Also unlike Montana which remains a deep red state this Georgia district has been trending purple for years now so big turnout doesn't simply mean more Republicans.

Is it because being a bunch of broke brained pessimists allows you to always move the goal posts so that you're, in the end, always right about something? If he wins no one will really call you out because "well he was supposed to win" but if he loses you get to smugly broadcast to everyone how right you were.

Can someone change my custom title to "broke brained goal post moving pessimist"

Ossof wins and Republicans need to ditch Trump with enough distance between them and 2018 to make the public forget. So like at least a handful of months.

I'm pissed at CNN for very different reasons. Today's headline from CNN ended up in one of the ads on a website I was browsing.

Ok, so the POTUS can't stop talking about your loving channel, day in and day out, and he's clearly, obviously guilty of treason and a variety of high crimes. So today you publish the real think piece, "With latest jabs, Trump-Obama relationship reaches historic nastiness"? What the ever loving gently caress, CNN.
