I am not a D&D poster, but I enjoy the way you guys all us this thread to post relevant news.. just sometimes it’s 800 posts of nonsense. reposting this, i'm sorry I forgot which cool person made it quote:javascript : (function(){ $('table.post').filter(function() { return $(this).find('.postbody > div.tweet, .postbody > img:not([src*="somethingawful.com"]), .postbody > a:not([href*="somethingawful.com"]), .postbody > .timg_container > img:not([src*="somethingawful.com"])').length === 0 }).hide() })() add to bookmarks, remove spaces after javascript, and when you click it it will remove all posts that do not contain links, tweets, or images from any given page of the thread

Out of the 1.5 million reenfranchised people who are majority minority, if you can register 50%, get 60% to turnout (about the state's average numbers), and they break 60/40 dem, that'd be +90,000 votes in an election like yesterday's

sean10mm posted:Also I'm pretty sure Pelosi only said it won't be an immediate priority to impeach Trump, which given that there are no votes in the senate to convict right now anyway is basically conceding nothing IRL. and she said something about being willing to work with republicans on infrastructure, which is a no-brainer if the outcome isn't massive privatization of infrastructure

yeah of course they're a liequote:There's a partisan divide — about six in 10 Democrats approve of Mueller's handling of the probe, compared to just two in 10 Republicans. Independents are divided, with 43 percent approving and 42 percent disapproving. only independents are 43 percent favorable - but actually even less independents disapprove lol eke out fucked around with this message at 16:48 on Nov 7, 2018 |

for anyone curious about subpoena power issues, here's a great read about how House Republicans successfully won cases allowing them to subpoena a ton of political documents then spent this year furiously trying to get the judge to take back her holding once they realized they'd be losing power https://twitter.com/zoetillman/status/1060195800062590976 they literally 'settled' with the Trump administration with a precondition that Amy Berman Jackson say that her old holding is no longer valid lol she was not happy about it

Reporter asks Pelosi about Trump's threat to investigate democrats or whatever Pelosi laughs and says "The President also says this was a great day for republicans, so let's put it in context." She says they have a responsibility for oversight that isn't optional, doesn't really give any indication they're backing down on any investigations. Says committees make the decisions about things like tax returns, not her
