Does it make me a bad person that I wish Devin Nunes to be hosed to death by a syphilitic donkey? Fire this motherfucker into the sun already.

So The Mattering may actually be upon us. My question: what fucks this up? Because this rear end in a top hat should have been impeached a dozen scandals ago at least. What will make this one stick?

mistaya posted:I honestly think it's sticking because literally everyone knows what a mob shakedown sounds like. It's not some difficult to understand need to read multiple pages report about obstruction of justice something something maybe Russia did help Trump but it's not like you can prove that Trump colluded... My fear though is and has always been the political calculus. Trump was right, he could shoot someone and his base will stick by him. This is what they voted for, they want a mob boss. Does that handcuff any potential congressional remedy? Maybe. The Senate remains a problem.

evilweasel posted:being brazen and shameless has worked well in the past for trump, it's not like it's a well-thought-out plan it's just him reverting to a strategy that he's comfortable with and the rest of the party playing along Listening to Rush a bit today showed their strategy: just doubling down and insisting that nothing happened, it's a hoax and etc. Which does still make me afraid of political blowback. Because a not insignificant chunk of the base does think what Rush and Hannity tell them to.

Nocturtle posted:Graham can't be following the news, it doesn't make sense to complain about the whistleblower's methods when Trump is loudly asking other nations on television to investigate his political rivals, one of the main complaints made by the whistleblower. But see, like Rush said, they literally just declare any and all "news" about this FAKE and their base believes that. It's not that they didn't see it, they just cover their eyes and ears and go LALAALALALLA intil it goes away. EDIT Or as Rush put it, "the news media IS the Democrats."

Hiro Protagonist posted:I'm not saying they don't exist either, I'm just saying one of those people just needs one event to shock them out, compared to the ones that stick with Trump needing to constantly pass by everything. A lot still manage, but I feel like once you start disliking Trump with even the slightest bit of thought and attention behind it, it's hard to get back into it's bubble. In other words, I don't think Trump is getting anymore hard core supporters as time goes on, just hemorrhaging the ones who accidentally make their way out. And there's no going back. I guess that's the one upside of all this, one of the very few. Once that spell is broken it does seem to stay broken. It's just the effort of getting folks there that's the bitch.

During the fight for $15 to raise the minimum wage these people were the ones arguing against raising the minimum wage because they make $15 an hour and they think they have worked for it more and others don't deserve it.

Pellisworth posted:I'm not super familiar with the status of the Syrian Kurds, maybe this would be a better question for the ME thread but: Asking about "Turkish Kurds" or Syrian or whatever is the wrong approach. Broad view: the Kurds are hated by all the countries their territory resides within and that was by design. It goes all the way back to the Ottoman Empire's collapse post-WW1. In short, the Kurdish areas are where a lot of the resources are, and pretty much no one wanted them to be in charge of all of it, so this is part of why their territory is divided between multiple countries. It's your basic racist tactic of leaving them small marginalized pieces of land instead of allowing them to become one self-determined country. This is how I understand it anyway but someone please correct me if I'm off base there.

Koalas March posted:Lol imagine being alive and online in TYOOL 2019 and thinking bad cops stop being cops and not that they bounced to a different station and keep getting to kill people. People just want to believe SO HARD that the whole system isn't rotten from top to bottom so they can give themselves permission to stop giving a poo poo. They fight it pretty hard. But the truth has a pesky way of still being true and well, it makes them a little conflicted and intentionally naive. That's how I read it anyway.

Ershalim posted:"Psychiatric help" isn't the purpose of calling the police on someone, sadly. The point is to remove them from wherever they currently are. I'm not disagreeing with the general point or substance of your post but I have to ask you to pump the brakes here. Don't paint with such a broad brush. I have direct personal knowledge of situations where cops were called, and because a person was indeed a threat to themselves and did indeed need psychiatric help. It wasn't a ploy. But I hear you, it's a process that's (by design) too often misused and abused and there are myriad reasons for this. But not every last one of these calls is bullshit. Be careful.

Ershalim posted:I didn't mean that people don't ever need help and shouldn't ever get it forced on them in situations where it might prevent them from taking their own lives, for example... but I'm talking about a system where I've personally been called to the parking lot of a hospital to get rid of someone "in need of a mental health arrest." Right, that's clearly a bullshit abuse of the system. I just tend to avoid sweeping statement generally so nothing personal. I agree with you, top to bottom how we treat mental health is hosed and when you add our broken police departments it becomes hosed squared.

BigBallChunkyTime posted:Fort Worth having a presser right now and I'm surprised at how far they're throwing the officer under the bus who shot the lady in her home. Even the police chief named him and said he faced criminal charges. You know what? Good. And I hope if what I think you're suggesting is correct, that perhaps all the visibility on these incidents and the extreme pressure being brought to their doorsteps every time some poo poo like this happens is moving the needle in how departments respond to incidents like these, that it continues and becomes even bigger as a social trend. Call these motherfuckers out loudly, often, and if possible in person by engaging in mass demonstrations. I can't think of anything else that will change a thing. This "code of silence" and blue wall bullshit has to stop.

showbiz_liz posted:They didn't even do that, they just let us take the regular meals and expected the balance to be paid later. And this was in North Carolina, which even then was not exactly the nation's most liberal state. Which begs another question: these are public schools so, why do the lunches cost anything? Why aren't they just you know....provided along with the cost of the public school? This stupid poo poo in America where everything has to involve money changing hands is really stupid and we need to examine it more. Why was I at 8 years old expected to pay for my lunch at a place I was compelled by law to be anyway? Right? Let's look deeper here. Ershalim posted:Yeah. They should have done this. but it's really not surprising they didn't. Schools aren't really a liberal bastion of enlightenment and good ideals despite generally being a force for good. A lot of public schools are, either by district mandate or necessity, incredibly money-grubbing institutions which will do all kinds of shady poo poo to make a few extra dollars here or there. It might all boil down to property tax effectively limiting what schools are capable of affording, but it plays out in a lot of gross ways: like refusal to close for unsafe conditions, being highly litigious about any debts, failure to invest in necessary infrastructure upkeep, etc., etc.. Yeah see that's dumb as hell, and we should try to do better. But of course we're undermined by charter school assholes who don't want their tax dollars supporting public anything and etc etc.

Taerkar posted:The answer as always is because of tax cuts to help rich people. Especially when the local school starts bringing in non local kids to fill classes and the residents complain of their tax dollars being wasted. Which I mean really is the root problem for a lot of society's ills, right? Lots of people are just selfish, myopic children and capitalism rewards such behavior so here we are. I'm just saying that from the federal level on down, if we funded schools like we ought to be, this ceases to be a problem. That we have kids being shaken down for money on penalty of being shamed and starved is embarrassing. We should do better.

Toobly posted:This happened in my hometown in NH. My high school had to close down sections while I was there because it wasn't up to fire code and they had buy portable classrooms to put on the baseball field because the town was full of people who no longer have anything to do with the school or parents who would rather pay to send there kid to private school than pay a little extra in taxes for improvements. The town eventually voted to fix a lot of the issues but it took almost 2 decades and took newer/younger families moving there to do something about it. So things got better once the olds hosed off and/or died? Sounds about right.
