it's still too early to call ga-gov, ga-06, or ga-07

ga-06 is very likely a pickup but both the house races are within range of a recount and abrams is still inching closer to a recount but it will get litigious

This is funny because we don't have election-day paper receipts. A recount is just re-reading the counts in the machines and the mail-in ballots, which Kemp has probably been working on destroying up to this point.

In the sense of the Vacancies Reform Act it's a resignation, not a firing. For purposes of the media, yes he was fired.

Didn't he already offer to resign at least once before?

They tried to resign him like 3-4 months ago, don't you remember? One day, the white house said "we've accepted the resignation of Deputy AG Rod Rosenstein", and then Rod Rosenstein was like "the hell you have", and the white house had to eat crow because Kelly was sure that little TWERP got the message, but the little twerp just said "I understand" and had no intention of providing that resignation letter.

Ryan's star really lost its shine after he got the Speaker job.

Dude spent like a decade lecturing everyone on how things ought to be and how policy should be written.

When he got the gavel and a trifecta of legislating power, he crumbled like a leaf in flame. Turns out he's only good at making GBS threads on other peoples ideas and couldn't manage to steer a coalition within his own caucus.

But they did pass a lot of really bad bills that were too evil for the Senate, so that's something, I guess. It still blows my mind that they really only passed 2 bills of consequence and both had to be done on reconciliation, because they've had zero intent to even acknowledge the other side of the chamber is there.

Does anyone think that Session was instrumental in all the terrible poo poo this administration has been up to? All of that poo poo happens anyways under anyone else that got the job. All Sessions being replaced does is ensure friendlier-to-the-administration oversight of an investigation of this administration.

Also, when are we going to get a lawsuit that Whitaker cannot be the acting AGUS? He's legally incapable of being appointed to this position.

I haven't heard a male candidate called a "shill" in a pretty long time, but if you guys disagree with me, go hog wild. I don't think it was worth jumping down my throat about.

That's because "shill" is generally a term used to describe a person beholden to someone with power of them.

Mostly we call pundits and spokespersons shills. Lindsey Graham is definitely a shill for the Trump administration, as are basically all republicans at this point.

"Shill" has no gendered connotation, and historically, it's been used to describe mostly men, so... like I have no idea where you're coming up with this.

Since the thread is on this, I'm gonna chime in.

I'll admit, I preferred the Trump thread, because it was nice to just have a way of getting information about what a gently caress-up this entire administration is aggregated through one source.

I guess I'm fine with this, it's not much different. I've got no problem explaining to some chud rear end in a top hat why Trump sucks poo poo, but I'd prefer if the admins would stop handing out probs for bullshit reasons.

I'll keep following this thread and posting here instead of clambering for the old thread.

I actually feel like if the DNC is that out of touch and that foolish to triple down then there needs to be a clear message sent to them because 2016 apparently didn't work. Voting for batman or third party doesn't do the same thing as making Trump's inevitable second win against her a landslide to try and hammer the point home and send a clear message.

"Check me out, brown people. I am in a position of relative comfort, as I can just stop talking publicly about my political views and won't be too badly affected by American fascism. Sorry I voted for Trump to send the DNC a message, because I don't like neoconservatives who wouldn't have caged you, but if you think about it, what choice did I have?"
