Because some of you either: A - Have a fundamental misunderstanding about the press or B - Find it necessary to break everything because you are a god drat mentally challenged neanderthal.. I closed the previous thread and made a new one. Stick to the god drat news and if you want to have a loving slap fight over dumb poo poo, take it Here. When we last checked in with actual news... North Korea built a rocket that can actually hit the US. But only Alaska so its not like they are going to hit anything of value outside of Polar Bears. Which frankly will make me more upset than hitting actual US citizens. Tillerson getting even more angry about staffing. Trump supporters are loving stupid. Think the Declaration of Independence is a call to revolution against the Moron Mango. Cops crash a party. Don't shoot anyone. The US finally learns what happened to Amelia Earhart, a few decades after the Marshall Island natives told them.

I can't find the story on it I read earlier but it was much more in-depth and had a neat side bar about how its partially influenced by Putin wanting higher oil prices. The quote was something to the effect of Trump having to rig the markets because "Putin needs his $86 a barrel".

KildarX posted:Ya'll think Trump is proof the president actually doesn't know something really really spooky like Aliens landing at area 51, there's a cthulu like entity sleeping at the bottom of the ocean, magic exists, etc? The reality is if any of those existed, Trump wouldn't have a clue because someone who did know would have to brief him. The people who do know won't largely because explaining the intricacies of wingardiem leviosa with enough "Trump"s thrown in would be a gigantic pain in the rear end and gently caress that. Also we don't have a clue what lurks at the bottom of the ocean. So thats one of those that we don't actually have an answer to. However, some scientists did at least proved that there is the capability for life on Mars in the form of algae living in the massive salt deposits. So little green martians are an actual possibility. facialimpediment posted:Uh. This owns.

bird food bathtub posted:That....may not be the brilliant maneuver he thinks it is. Basically. The reason you don't is because if you are ever ousted from power, you are going to be swinging from the end of a rope. If for no other reason than breaking the long standing agreement that you don't jail the prior administration. Its why you didn't see a bunch of Cheney and Rummie's people in stripes after Obama got elected. When the investigations and trials start under a prior administration, you leave the courts to do the work and stay out of it. If all the nasty poo poo comes out after, then you leave it to Congressional committees to recommend charges and then go after them. Mitch and Paul aren't retarded. They supply the fart that the rest of the elected GOP has been huffing and they know the boundaries. If Trump starts arresting prior administration to incite hyper partisanship, they will shut him down. Also, good luck finding anyone currently in the DOJ outside of Sessions willing to actually try and put handcuffs on Clapper. Pretty sure if the Keebler Klansman tried, Clapper would tear Sessions's intestines out with his bare hands. Rodger Stone is an idiot and probably going to jail for several decades. His ranting isn't going to convince the real power in Washington to do a drat thing. No one wants to be the one to open that Pandora's Box because the monster inside doesn't care about sides, it just kills everything and everyone. facialimpediment posted:Chances of a government shutdown on October 1st just went up dramatically as House Republicans are tossing some wall funding into the next appropriations bill. Its like 3 dudes in the House and the rest of the Reds rolling their eyes saying "Yea, yea yea.. Ok here." because they know the Senate is just going to remove it. They are going to run a carry over budget with minor adjustments, raise the debt ceiling and Trump will sign off on it because "Who knew budgets were so complicated and we are going to rewrite things over the next year because obstructionist democrats.".

Article says it was intercepted when Kislyak talked about it with other Russian officials. I don't for a single, solitary nanosecond believe he wouldn't have known that every last word of that conversation would have been recorded and that's not the kind of thing that would be done without permission. Not exactly. The IC wants to take Trump in a prison style gang bang. Russia is a bit different. They invested a lot of time and resources to get Trump in power and expected a return on it by now. Pootie is running out of patients and is starting to put screws to the admin. But the Soviets don't want him out of power until they get sanctions lifted and their ops compound back. The IC leak is straight from the White House and an attempt to further poo poo on Sessions so he quits.

From a couple pages back.... Nah. We won't get to that point. The global ocean current conveyor system will shut down well before sea level rise really fucks the planet. Once you dump too much cold, fresh water into the ocean you lose dynamics that essentially create the weather patterns and the best guess beyond that is a mini ice age. As in the Hudson being frozen over for 3/4 of the year and re-establishment of the arctic ice shelf, in southern Canada. By something like 2050. I'll have to try to find the really awesome article a bunch of scientists wrote on it about a decade ago. Its weather doomsday dialed up to 11, but reasonably credible from the science side. And if you are into the rapid decline and extinction of the human race, its very much your poo poo. Its my favorite theory on Climate Change's end game and when you really dig into the concept, it seems like the most viable.

Apparently Trump is going to fire Sessions as soon as McConnell calls recess and then use the Recess Appointment rules to install a new AG with out congressional approval and then have that AG fire Muller. So Muller will be gone before the end of August. And Lawerence O'Donnell just showed every signature line on an actual SF-86.

TBeats posted:Does that mean people get kicked out if they say they are trans and they're already in? Yes. Which is why they will have to change it and then watch it collapse in court. Their only hope is to simply bar transition surgeries under readiness rules. But anything else will have to be reasonably accommodated like hormone therapy, counseling and legal documentation changes. If you can deploy, they won't be able to kick you out. The more surprising move will be when Trump tries to ban homosexuals in a follow up policy, possibly as soon as later today.

Nostalgia4Butts posted:they've been trying to shove healthcare reform in before something happens Not exactly. Health care is the gate keeper for everything they want to do over the next year and a half (largely because they know they will be dead men walking due to how bad it's going to screw everyone). They needed the regulation, tax purge and the experiment that is rolling back Medicaid. If they could have trashed Medicaid in ACA repeal/reform then they would go after Medicare and social security which is their ultimate goal because they need the bank vault that is both funds to pay for the budget that they want to pass. If they can then it gives them the ability to gut corporate and wealthy tax rates in tax reform. ACA was all about taxes and finding out if they can take away an entitlement. They aren't getting either and they are hosed. Their budget won't work numbers wise and tax reform needed the budget to be viable I the way they wanted to make cuts. So now they have a choice. Either ram through poo poo to screw everyone because they are doomed, or make drastic changes in the platform and start making serious policies to improve conditions for the middle class and poor in an effort to save their rear end from independents voting with the massive wave of Dems and anti Trump voters in 18. Take a wild guess which choice most republicans are going with. It's not that they are hammering Health Care to hide some greater threat that they want to secretly run through. It's they needed it to blatantly run through the outright fist gently caress they want to give the American people later on.

TBeats posted:How does this impact tax reform? Largely its just a stupid catch phrase. This chart shows the budget numbers, which make it actually closer to 1/5 to 1/4 if you use our budget spending as the economy. If you are looking at it from what Americans actually spend their paychecks on... The Commonwealth Fund did a study that came up with an average of 10.1%. But as you would expect, that number varies wildly when you break it down by economic class. Just depends on how you want to define the economy. suboptimal posted:Buzzfeed is reporting that a Russian media czar, who died in a Washington, DC hotel room back in 2015, was actually beaten to death in an assassination rather than being drunk and falling over repeatedly, or as they call it in Russia, natural causes. Too be fair. Death by being drunk and falling over repeatedly is a natural death for Russians. But yea. That dude was totally smoked by a Russian hit team.
