Hello. In an effort to save my fleeting sanity this is a current affairs thread. You will: post articles, tweets, pictures, actual news. You will then discuss this. You will not talk about any topic that is not linked as an article, tweet, or picture. You will respect some semblance of journalistic integrity; this is subject to mod interpretation and I would err on the side of caution. Do not post opinion pieces, even if they're published in reputable papers. They're all dogshit. I am not going to set a requirement that you need to post a news article/tweet every post (ala Dog Tax) but that may go into effect later. You will not: discuss anything other than what is linked in this thread. There will be no food derails, dems are bad derails, derails about your life, derails about your dog, derails about other posters and how loving awful they are. If you do so, you will be eating a minimum of a 3 day probe. If you gently caress up in this thread at any point I will poo poo on you from so high that my shits will freeze and become missiles reaching terminal velocity until you stop loving up. This is not the trump thread, do not treat it as such. Happy Posting! Party Plane Jones fucked around with this message at 19:25 on Nov 11, 2018 |

Hellblazer187 posted:Thank you very much! I hope this is a kosher question PPJ, but will your tweet dumps generally be a part of this thread as well? Probably. I might do separate ones for USPOL/this thread like I did for Trump/USPOL for a while; or just repost the same post; I haven't decided.

VH4Ever posted:Can someone remind me (and the thread) what happens to the McCain seat? Kyl has it now but isn't there going to be a special election for it soon anyway? The term expires in 2022 IIRC right? I wonder what this means for that seat too. Two Dem AZ Senators would be bonkers. The McCain seat goes up for election in 2020. McSally is rumored to be getting the seat if she loses (which looks likely).

As amusing as Bitchell meltdowns are I'm gonna have to ask that he not be posted in here again unless he either does something actually newsworthy or finally fully transforms into that burning cross that he always dreamed of becoming.

Deteriorata posted:Yes, she's hands down the best person for the job ATM. The person to gun for is Steny Hoyer. He's old and useless, and House Majority Leader is a good spot to put Pelosi's successor. I would argue that Barbara Lee is going to be the way of the future in terms of leadership for the Speakership and either give Pelosi House Majority Leader or House Whip.

Bush provided final confirmation to EU diplomats that the status of the representation had in fact been downgraded. Diplomats believe the downgrade must have been implemented in late October or early November.
