Mezzanine posted:RE: Puerto Rico supposedly using disaster relief money to pay of debt Regarding the Gallup poll, as others have noted it's just a result of survey design. The top ten issues have opposing points with support by one party or the other, but regressives just put their fingrts in their ears and pretend that climate change and the Mueller investigation don't have any significance. Watergate would have polled similarly before it broke wide open.

Tibalt posted:Well, potentially, he could testify under oath that Trump ordered him to kill or hamper the Mueller investigation. I suspect that Democrats now controlling the House also want to make as many people in the executive branch miserable, and to use the constant threat of being pulled into an investigation to dissuade people from taking positions. It'll be a tightrope walk: too few subpoenas and progressives will be pissed, and too many will rile up and mobilize the regressive base rather than demoralize them. knox_harrington posted:Donald getting dissed by the French Army

It is an utter embarrasment, getting played by the North Koreans while simultaneously dismantling an Iranian deal that was working. Why bother dealing in good faith with the US if we're going to renege on the good plans and get fooled by the bad deals?

The Senate votes to overturn Trump donor disclosure rule. It is ridiculous that a bill like this barely squeaks by, and obviously even if the House picks it up next year and it passes the Senate again, there's no way they'll get the votes for an almost-certain veto. The gall of painting this as "anti-privacy" is ... well, not surprising. Mitch can go gently caress himself. Again. And again.

I was reading a book on structural failures, and one section regarded the theater that I believe was in Mexico. After construction, it sank into the spongy soil as its weight displaced water underneath. As a result, stairs had to be built to the entrance that now was below ground level. Amazingly, as the surrounding area was built up with large buildings, their mass likewise displaced water that subsequently raised the theater back up high enough that new stairs had to be constructed up from ground level to the higher entrance. Really, it is a testament to an extremely well-built foundation: had it been more poorly constructed the building would have cracked and possibly crumbled during its travels.
