Tayter Swift posted:Trump officials threaten to withhold highway funds from Calif., saying state has ‘worst air quality’ in U.S., in escalation of feud Obviously he's lying about that information but out of curiosity I decided to find out what state does have the worst air quality. Surprisingly it is not West Virginia or Kentucky or any of the other major coal country areas, but in fact it's Louisiana. California is the 9th best, so it's solidly in the top 20% of states for good air quality. source (arranged from best air quality to worst)

BigBallChunkyTime posted:Is Lewis just coming on board now? Pretty much, he was surprisingly noncommittal until recently. Politico (ugh) story from 9/12/2019 quote:Rep. John Lewis has called Donald Trump an illegitimate leader and boycotted his inauguration, but he's remained conspicuously silent on demands for the president's impeachment. Story goes onto say Lewis probably wouldn't make a push for impeachment unless he had Pelosi's blessing which, to be honest I don't know how true that is, but more importantly apparently a lot of members of the Congressional Black Caucus have been waiting for him to make a move. If true, it's going to be more than just him declaring for impeachment. FizFashizzle posted:Yeah but who is that first crack in the drat? Neither, they're both spineless cowards. Rubio just thinks he can poo poo out bible verses randomly and Romney is Romney.

The Glumslinger posted:If you guys haven't read it yet, I'd suggest reading Woodward and Bernstein's follow up book, The Final Days, which covers the impeachment and eventual resignation of Nixon. I think we're gonna see a lot of similar poo poo from back then as Trump as fights to control the message and control the information he releases Only difference is I'm not going to feel any sort of sympathy for Trump when it all finally collapses around him.

Jesus, I hope that Trump achieves a moment of cognitive clarity and throws McConnel and his wife under the bus in these impeachment hearings. Currently she's being investigated for conflicts of interest as well (namely using her position to benefit her family's shipping company) so that's fun.

Also I'm sure in Trump's diseased brain he thinks Maxine Waters is involved because she hates him, and not because she's the Chair of the House Financial Services Committee.* *well ok it could also partially be because she hates him, but who could blame her.

Mahoning posted:AOC introducing more cool and good poo poo. Some people forget that we don't need a Democratic President to introduce sweeping legislation. She moved the needle big time with the Green New Deal, so hopefully this does the same. The pickups on the Blue Yeti are not at the top of it, and the ones at the back won't pick up anything depending on the pattern used. The microphone isn't set up right (it should be oriented more vertically). This isn't a dig, just an observation. RandomBlue posted:LOL, of loving course. Thanks for confirming the report is bad for you, Trump, you loving moron. This explains why they were so quick to say they'd release it, they think they can just pass off a redacted or edited report/transcript.

Social Studies 3rd Period posted:https://twitter.com/DavidWright_CNN/status/1176869593685663744 "Yes it's very appropriate that the President asked Ukraine to locate a physical server that the perfidious DNC somehow sent to them to keep it out of the hands of the FBI" gently caress off Graham, you absolute southern-fried fascist. There is more to this than impeaching a president over getting a beej in the oval office. EDIT: DC Murderverse posted:yeah as an Iowan who's been following this story from the outset, the racist tweets were a pair of dumb jokes made 7 years ago when the dude was 16 that were based off of Tosh.0 jokes. He made a very good public apology where he basically said "yeah those jokes were gross and the stuff I thought was funny back then makes me sick, since then I've learned why those are wrong and I strive to do better," which sorta bears out with the whole "helped raise over a million dollars for a children's hospital" thing. This basically sounds a lot like the James Gunn thing then. He did some stupid things years ago, apologized for it in a non lovely way, and has tried to do better, but people love to falsely equivocate it against people who said bad poo poo in the past and are still saying bad poo poo now.

That is a perfect picture for such an obvious line of bullshit. Dr Christmas posted:I’m thinking about the Trump tweet where he says he wants the transcript to get out because it’s “a perfect call” that’ll surprise everyone. “A perfect call” is just such a weird thing to say. He likes to use "perfect", "huge", "the best" to refer to things involving him so why wouldn't he do that for this phone call.

Groovelord Neato posted:this is stupid. That's not what the article says at all. Literally nothing about focusing only on the call, nothing about "end of the year" In fact the article in question posted:Democratic leaders emerged from the closed-door meeting declaring that their impeachment inquiry was urgent. But multiple lawmakers, including House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer of Maryland, confirmed that there was still no specific timeline, and that the House would not cut short its scheduled two-week recess. and quote:Democrats held a full caucus meeting Wednesday morning as their leaders continued to hash out an impeachment strategy. Rank-and-file lawmakers were vexed at the lack of details about how to carry out Pelosi’s call to action. I even searched the article for "end of the year" (or even just "year"). It's not loving there. The tweet is misleading, and once again I wonder why anybody in this thread takes a tweet summary at face value on anything because this poo poo happens over and over and over again.

evilweasel posted:the tweet is from the author of the article, so i presume that he is reporting additional information he has developed to supplement the article weird how it's not in the article, something that could easily be updated, then. Almost like it's misleading. EDIT: They updated it without even mentioning that they did, I only figured it out because of the 2:09 PM timestamp for the article vs. a 2PM Tweet time. quote:Though there's no explicit timeframe to act, some Democrats said they were hopeful articles could be considered by the end of the year or even sooner. So again, not even a consensus. Not even a majority. Just "some Democrats" with Lieu named specifically. Tweet's misleading. Angry_Ed fucked around with this message at 19:17 on Sep 25, 2019 |

Flesh Forge posted:All the Democrat/adjacent pundits and panelists I've seen this morning are parroting the "we need to laser focus on this specific thing only" strategy Ok cool. It still doesn't change the fact that the initial tweet from Politico 1. Referenced an article that didn't say what the tweet was saying until 2. It was edited in 10 minutes later and 3. Still doesn't undo the fact that (as of this moment) there is no consensus on this, that there is no timetable, that Maxine Waters is still investigating financial crimes, etc. With the addition of the issue of the other charges against trump being tied up in the courts wheras Ukraine is not, I get why they're considering this tactic. I don't even agree with it, but I also don't agree with taking tweets at face value from anywhere, especially goddamn politico. That it "became" true post-facto doesn't make shooting from the hip any better.
