They can replace him on committee except for the fact that he's still not present, so the Senate can't confirm anybody anyway. McCain and Flake being out means you're at 49 Republicans. Flake not being present for committee is a huge gently caress-you though, but hardly anybody will give him proper credit for it because the Senate is some arcane fuckery. I still hate him for talking the talk all this time but at least he's doing *something*.

Did Dead Reckoning ever give us a hot take on the child concentration camps? Or did that happen after his ban?

Generally got the factual and legal issues right, but failed/refused to adjust to the new CE threadgeist and tried to be analytical which frenzied the feelies. Hottest takes were starting with an FDR tu quoque and going out with a less relevant Obama one.

I disagree that DR generally got the legal/factual part right. His argument included saying that there was no legal option but to separate kids in the manner ICE did, which is factually wrong and kind of a big deal.

Plenty of presidents didn’t do that without themselves abrogating the law.

Case in point: president changed his stance without needing the law to change

I mean hell, officials are saying to the senate right now that they had no warning of family separation policy. That doesn’t bode well for the argument that the law says you have to separate families.

Nah, federal system doesn’t work by adding up all the charges like that. I think one of the articles said the sentencing guidance the prosecutors would be shooting for is 8-10 years or so?

With sentencing guidelines he's looking at 30-35 years if he's convicted of everything. He's 69 years old.

e, since beaten:
E.D. VA case: 4-5 on bank fraud, plus 8-10 on tax offenses.
DC case: 15-20, plus possible witness tampering add-ons

Ahha, I must've just heard the tax offenses part for the VA case.

If he gets convicted of anything more than the bank fraud he'll definitely die in prison unless Trump intervenes.

This QAnon stuff is legit going to get an innocent person killed. It’s even crazier than Pizzagate, and it’s starting to get traction among wider swathes of people.

Also, regarding that ICE kidnapping- can someone explain why those “officers” stated they didn’t have to show their warrant or identify themselves?

Edit: also, the DC area has had a years worth of rain fall by the end of July, including two days in June and July when we had a months worth of rain fall in one day, and the sixth wettest month on record in May.

It's already way too late to not have a total disaster, so it's not our fault (yay!). Non-linear systems are a bitch, hopefully next time an expert tries to explain that the shattered remnants of humanity, they'll listen for 5 seconds.

(We should have listened in about 1985 when the scientific consensus was "oh poo poo, this is going to be bad").
