Mr. Nice! posted:I don't think Trump will actually fire Barr, but gently caress I would laugh so hard if he did. https://twitter.com/neontaster/status/1333861254063153154?s=19 At least some of the lovely people in the world are getting some discomfort and anger while we're all generally hosed. That wasn't the case for quite a while and it's a silver lining.

not caring here posted:I just saw this elsewhere and my guess was DeJoy or Prince. From what I'm seeing so far: - A lawyer somewhere is probably hosed, as his/her attorney-client privilege just got exceptioned due to the third party rule and/or crime-fraud https://twitter.com/adamsteinbaugh/status/1333922088902676481 - The last names are really tiny, which is weird - It came from emails already seized by the federal government in some other investigation, probably against Rudy - This all happened in the summer - Flynn's name would fit, but he's probably broke facialimpediment fucked around with this message at 00:57 on Dec 2, 2020 |

Woofer posted:How dumb is it to rent a car and drive to Ohio to a house with like 5 people? I got invited this year and made a sad resolution last Christmas that I wouldn’t spend this Christmas alone. But it’s not a resolution worth dying over. I'm thinking acceptable to medium-dumb. Very good that you're driving and not flying, semi-bad that you're not just videocalling, bad to very bad about the house. I'm feeling the sad/lonely thing, so I get it, and I'll be driving to separately see my mom/dad like I did for Thanksgiving (15 and 30 minutes away). How active are these five people in the house and how serious are they taking preventative measures? Do they all work at home? Do you trust them enough to believe what they say about the measures they're taking? Will they/you get tested beforehand? Is that more like a household of 5 people, or five households of one person? And do you have family that you could potentially spread to? Woofer posted:what are the odds of travel prices across the board skyrocketing after a mass produced vaccine gets distributed? Are airlines going to claim how broke they are and lay a bunch of people off right before the biggest rush for tickets in probably our lifetime? I really don't know. The vaccine rollout will be slow and there probably won't be a magic date when everyone gets good again, until primarily summer. There will be an absolute shitpile of demand, but it likely won't be all at once. The airlines will hire back hella people once that happens though.

Pine Cone Jones posted:So I've been hearing stuff about the 230 repeal gaining traction because donny is upset, is there any actual news to this? Literally zero traction. The NDAA is the closest thing to hallowed ground that there is left (Democrats like functioning government, Republicans like defense spending). Congress responded to the 230/Confederate veto threat by literally just debuting the conferenced bill. Republican Senators are basically saying "not the time/place, you dumb gently caress". Even Rand Paul just put out a "reform 230, not kill 230" statement. The goal of Republicans is to complain about 230 forever and never touch it. Donnie isn't understanding that background. It's unclear if Donnie will actually veto the NDAA, or if Congress would override the veto. Tune in tomorrow!

CommieGIR posted:No, because he was in better financial shape in 2015. He has nearly a billion dollars in debt coming due in 2021, and didn't have pending cases waiting for his Org. Yeah this is the common thing when it comes to high-profile people and investigations. At one time, they weren't so high-profile, the state really didn't give a poo poo if he lied on his federal tax returns, and he wasn't in charge of an openly-corrupt government. Just the fact that a new Secretary of Treasury will immediately hand over Donnie's tax returns to NYState and Congress (unless stopped by courts) to prove the poo poo in the NYT series is quite a lot. Probably doesn't lead to an Actual Thing, but it enables the Actual Thing to happen. Also, if Donnie does somehow manage to either pardon himself (sketchy) or others, my long-term bet is that he uses campaign / leadership PAC money to pay down his personal debts. I'm almost positive that's a severe legal no-no, and pardons can't cover future activity. I doubt he has the self-control to avoid tapping into the "no touchy" pots of money.

MazelTovCocktail posted:Would have been nice to have some direct payments in there...but no we can’t have that. It was commented today that "direct payments have no lobbyist in DC" and them being left out is probably not a coincidence. Also a *lot* of people are forgetting that the $1.7T offer had a LOT of Republican-priority garbage in it (like no employer liability), so the dollar figure alone doesn't cut it.

I remember there was about a week or two of Donnie actually having decent lawyers on this poo poo. What I can't decide is which made more of an impact - the lawyers seeing how dumb all this was (and turning down the money?!), or groups like The Lincoln Project doxxing the absolute gently caress out of the lawyers that attached their names to the lawsuits. The end result is this either way: https://twitter.com/travis_view/status/1334961330885804033

pantslesswithwolves posted:While I know that a part of this can be attributed to Republicans not wanting to cross Trump and end up on the business end of one of his Twitter tantrums, this really has gone on for too long. As stated by everyone, here's the reason: https://twitter.com/brahmresnik/status/1335041418184646656?s=19 It's Merry Griftsmas and Republicans with any (remaining) sense are trying to just shut up until the 8th/14th when this thing is irrevocably cooked. They all know they need Trump voters, and every grifter is zooming far right to mount eventual primary challenges, so it's either bow in fealty to the disintegrating god-emperor or shut the gently caress up until schedule reality kicks in. For what it's worth, except for some minor pentagon nonsense, absolutely nothing is impeding the actual transition anymore. That was making a lot of Republicans start to get mouthy, so now they've shut up too.

https://twitter.com/jmartNYT/status/1336064865111306240 Donnie hosed up and didn't buy enough up-front, so Pfizer locked up deals with other countries and they're now basically tapped out. Knowing he hosed up and likely cared too much about reelection to think long-term (or at all), Donnie is going to sign an Executive Order "making Americans the priority". It will likely not carry any legal power and get tangled up in courts at best. He put all his eggs into the vaccine basket and forgot to make the basket big enough.
