The evolution of this week has been great.

*The President; reeking of poo poo*

House Dems: Some people are saying the President pooped his pants, but we don't think that kind of talk is appropriate at this time.

Trump: I pooped my pants!

Rudy: He pooped 'em! I helped!

Whitehouse: Here are the lovely drawers.

House Dems: We are forming a committee to look into the idea that the President might have pooped his pants.

IIRC wasn't there some sort of event back in 2009 that caused the forums to adopt the current insane requirements for default passwords? I'm asking because it really looks like there is a pack or two of 2009 era accounts floating around somewhere on the Darknet.

It's only a constitutional crisis if the House tries to use inherent contempt, and the police/Secret Service prevent the sergeant-at-arms from making an arrest or a Trump-appointed judge sides with Giuliani. It will be like a semi-crisis if they start issuing financial penalties and don't get paid.

gently caress if I know how that would work. Can a state enforce that? I would assume they'd need a court order to affect an arrest.
