Mustached Demon posted:It'll be Rex Tillerson who somehow, someway remained clean. As awesome as this may be, assuming any removals of that level happen, it's going to stop at the Speaker. And the real question would be whether it happens before or after the next Congress is convened and whether the Dems retake the House.

hanales posted:I know Burr started off shaky but he seems to be staying focused on this stuff, and warner is a dog with a bone right now. Closed sessions aren't ideal but poo poo will get leaked anyway. Mueller and his investigation team are going to have access to closed session transcripts, anyway. If Sessions says anything important to their investigation or (we all hope) perjures himself, it'll come out eventually even if the specifics are kept classified.

They shouldn't do this just because: 1. It feeds the persecution complex of the right. 2. Kids who make dumb uniformed decisions like this should be openly mocked by their peers for them. 3. It becomes a good reminder in 10 years for said kid about how dumb he used to be or at the very lease for said kid's acquaintances as proof on how he was and has always been an unremitting shitstain.

I had to stop watching the Sessions hearing right after Cotton(mouth) got the floor with his dumbass, "why aren't the Dems directly asking you if there was Russian collusion!?!?!?" question. (I wanted to smack him just because if nothing else, how would the dude know the answer if he recused himself from the investigation? gently caress Cotton.) What did I miss?

Teddybear posted:It stays vacant. In the event the president exits office, we skip straight to the house speaker. We're going to get a West Wing style scenario where something will come out that will force Pence to resign (like he touched a few too many choir boys at Church or something) before the investigation is over. And Trump will end up treating the VP seat like the hundreds of other appointee seats that he hasn't given a second thought to when the hammer will come down from the investigation forcing him out. You can't call it a coup if the President is too dumb and distracted to appoint a new VP.  The real question is who get's Pelosi's seat in the special election after she resigns to become President.

Dave Grool posted:Yeah that's not how the navy works, the captain is directly responsible for everything that happens on their ship. If the OOD was poo poo it's cause the CO was running a lovely command. The navy might be the only place in the US where the executives are actually held accountable for what the people below them do. Mukaikubo posted:Yeah, but it is probably the difference between "being drummed out of the Navy in disgrace" as will happen and "being court-martialed and jailed for manslaughter" as would happen had he been in active command at the time. At least, that's my impression given what I know of the Navy. The CO, XO, OOD, and possibly the TAO/CICWO will get fired. The OOD's Department Head could get a letter of reprimand for failing to train their DIVO properly (assuming the OOD was a DIVO and not a DH for some reason). There is very little chance anyone will have a criminal case brought up on them because criminal negligence is something the Navy doesn't like to prosecute when it comes to navigation accidents. (Of course, they don't typically end with 7+ people dead in addition to the millions in damages, so take that as you will.) The only way criminal charges might be filed is If the CO was on the bridge and sanctioned the maneuver or if it was logged that the OOD called the CO, gave him the plan, and the CO signed off on it. Of course, depending on the CO, 0-dark-30 calls to the CO's cabin about navigation plans aren't the most scrutinized, especially if the CO can see on his radar display that there isn't much out there since you're likely jostling them straight out of REM sleep.

(Loves cops and stringent law enforcement, but hates religion and right-wing demagoguery. Plus, he upped taxes for basically everyone to make Maryland schools and roads pretty much the best in the Mid-Atlantic.) But, he was a Democrat (and ex-mayor of Baltimore), so he got most of Charles, Prince George's, and Baltimore Counties' votes to hold his seat.

OddObserver posted:You know, I was under impression that knowingly buying stolen property was some sort of a crime? So why there doesn't seem to be any report of someone facing criminal charges? Proving knowledge is the hardest thing any prosecutor has to do. This is why DOJ doesn't bring charges on someone unless it is basically a slam-dunk. I have mixed feelings on how useful this is for us as a society. You could get a whole lot more people caught in the net if you lower the bar, but the rich fucks would likely still get away with just paying a fine.

Chef Boyardeez Nuts posted:The U.S. was also totally committed to NATO. If North Korea officially joins the MAD club I wouldn't be surprised if Tokyo follows. Are you implying Tokyo would try to get nukes? Because I don't think you realize how hated nuclear weapons are in Japan. I mean, an Abe ministry might tell a majority of the country to go gently caress off, and develop them anyway, but his party would lose basically everything in any scenario short of NK actually attacking Japan and the U.S. not intervening.

Ringo Star Get posted:I was a Civil War reenactor for a few years between being 14 and 18. I was part of an actual company, with ranks (that were democratically voted for), drill, etc since we wanted to be an accurate and authentic unit to represent what confederate soldiers were like. We were all city or suburbanites, largely democrat and overall were just big history nerds. I did it because my good friend was in the unit and it was the most affordable side to portray. Go camping, shoot some rifles, play war, cook out and party? Hell yes! While I was in the military, I had a roommate from Boston who was heavy into WWII reenacting. He had a full Luftwaffe Colonel Doctor's uniform, about 7 or 8 different Iron Crosses, and an almost fully accurate S.S. Hitler Youth private uniform. It was actually pretty interesting stuff when he talked about it. The first night we went out to a bar in town, I ended up flirting with a black girl. (I'm the textbook definition of pale faced whitey.) He decided to inform me on the way home that he could never date a black girl and become indignant when I gave him a wary look about it. Yeah, we ended up not parting on good terms.

The one thing I want to remind everyone of regarding today's shitstorm is how often Trump called out McCain during his ranting. Like...he did it multiple times. And you could hear the venom dripping from his mouth when he brought McCain up. This is the state of affairs that McCain will see right before he goes. I would pay money to hear his thoughts right now.
