https://twitter.com/Taniel/status/1455747183605649413 Here's a tiny bright spot tonight: Tuscon went "Fine, we'll do it ourselves" and told Kyrsten Sinema to gently caress off and gave themselves the $15 minimum wage that she robbed them of with her cutesy hip jiggle and thumbs down. This woman is hosed come 2024 regardless of whatever way the US goes politically (spoilers: it's gonna be towards fascism  )

He also had his bodyguard kidnap one of his employees, drag her off to a barn in the middle of nowhere and hold her there for hours against her will as O'Keefe tried (and subsequently failed) to rape her. And he got away with that too. He is probably some sort of prolific rapist because that's at least TWO known attempted rapes by him between that and the Dildo Boat.

FlamingLiberal posted:Hawley has been an odd politician since he came into office. He spent a number of years saying that he wanted to ban game companies from doing things like loot boxes (which border on gambling and are illegal in a good chunk of Europe, but not here). Now he's going all-in on this weird anti-porn, anti video-game stance. I said this in the Right Wing Media thread, but all these chud grognards who are obsessed with video games, cartoons, porn, and comic books to the point where it's their identity now are gonna be in for a hell of a shock when it turns out it's actually their own political allies who come for and destroy all the things they love and not leftists like they fear.

The Bananana posted:Is this the right place to ask for a good update on the Rittenhouse case? I've been trying to keep up with it. Some of what I saw recently has me thinking the prosecution had a not so good showing from one of their witnesses. The EMT who survived being shot by Rittenhouse (who was treating one the people Rittenhouse had already shot and killed) claimed that he was armed and raised a gun at Rittenhouse as he stalked towards him and that was what caused Rittenhouse to shoot him too, implying that Rittenhouse actually shot him in self-defense... after he'd already shot and killed two people prior to that. And because juries are dumb, this prosecutor sucks, and the judge is trying to slant everything in his favor the murderous little white supremacist poo poo is gonna walk scot free.

hobbez posted:edit: https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2021/01/14/kyle-rittenhouse-proud-boys-bar/ Rittenhouse met up with a contingent of Proud Boys at a bar in Mount Pleasant, WI wearing a t-shirt that said "Free As gently caress" on it after he was released on bail and took celebratory photos with them flashing the "I'm a white supremacist, don't tell anyone" hand sign that the Nazis have co-opted out of the "ok" gesture, and did all of this apparently of his own accord and with no coercion or manipulation. The whole thing has a strong air of "I'm proud of what I did and I'm happy I'm gonna get away with it." The judge barred the jury from seeing it because the image instantly destroys Rittenhouse's credibility as a defendant.

-Blackadder- posted:What happened with this anyway, like why Harris specifically over people who's competence and likability were so much higher? Did Harris have enough Hilary supporters that would've stayed home or was it something else? The prevailing wisdom at the time was that he was trying to mirror how he was picked by Obama to be his VP, in that he caused a stir in the early primary process by just savagely insulting Obama (with a pretty racist grandpa brainfart) and they eventually mended fences after Biden dropped out, became friends, and forged a pretty effective#1-#2 team for the subsequent 8 years of Obama's presidency. We got the first couple of steps of that with the Biden-Harris relationship, ie: the savage chaos dunk from Harris that briefly wobbled Biden's campaign and caught his attention and the mending fences afterwards enough to get picked for the Veep post, but that whole "became legitimate friends and reliable working partners" thing never materialized like it did between Obama and Biden, so Harris got pushed to the periphery to tailspin in her own embarrassments privately, whereas when Biden cocked up under Obama, Barry was always there behind him to help him laugh it all off and help foster that phantasmic Diamond Joe Biden image that a lot of people still had in their brains when they went into the voting booth in 2020.

PhazonLink posted:the veep going back to another useless position is another norm that would be okay to have again, especially after 4 years of rear end in a top hat licking that Brony fucker did. I thought that was the whole point of the Pence Vice-Presidency though? Trump picked the most obsequious, subservient empty suited empty suit he could find explicitly for the purposes of neutering the VP office into oblivion, which Kamala Harris subsequently inherited. It was done purely to consolidate Trump's power in the White House (or at least try to, because he didn't have a solid handle on ANYTHING, the lazy incompetent idiot he was), it merely had the knock-on effect of erasing all of the power expansions that Dick Cheney had clawed out during the Bush years which Biden also enjoyed during his time as VP too.

Sanguinia posted:People describe her as the establishment pick because they don't like her and they honestly believe the Democratic Party's upper echelons would never do anything that they didn't want to, so anything that they do must be the product of an elaborate conspiracy to produce the result they wanted. Like, seriously, I get all the people clamoring for her to have been picked, but is Stacey Abrams was Biden's VP pick, Georgia's two senate seats probably stay red. Not that it probably really matters anyway because thanks to Joe Manchin and Kysten Sinema, Mitch McConnell still runs the Senate anyway, but at least her still being on the ground in Georgia and not squirreled away at the Naval Observatory gives the Dems a chance to try and maybe hold onto at least one seat--she's got the time to try and cement Jon Ossoff in place by 2026, but Raphael Warnock is hosed. nine-gear crow fucked around with this message at 10:11 on Nov 15, 2021 |

I'd say it was gonna be nuts when this doof becomes Speaker in '23, but no, he's gonna go the way of his fellow YUUUUUUNG GUUUUNZ Paul Ryan and Eric Cantor and get hoofed out on his rear end in favour someone like Jim Jordan or the absolute lunatic gamble of the death cult picking Trump to be Speaker when they win.

Sanguinia posted:Did he think he was in the Senate and he was filibustering or what? I legitimately think he thought he was scoring a win over Nancy Pelosi by denying her a vote on bill on the day she said she would bring it to the floor so that it would be a totally embarrassment and look at old Nancy, she can't even keep her word on the day she'll hold a vote on something. Only he did not appear to realize that she can just bring the bill up for a vote tomorrow morning and it would in fact be better because it means more people would be awake to see it happen and the headlines for all of Friday and into the weekend get to be HOUSE PASSES HISTORIC INFRASTRUCTURE BILL, BIDEN AGENDA ONE STEP AWAY FROM BECOMING LAW, etc. Look, Kevin McCarthy is not a smart man, okay. The only reason he is where he is is because no one else in his caucus wanted the job. He volunteered to be Speaker after John Boehner hosed off in 2015 and was literally laughed out of the room. No one on his team is stopping him from doing these dumbfuck theatrics because they're all laughing at him just as much as the rest of us are.

Even the most vile organizations tend to oppose running over children in a Thanksgiving parade.

So if they're responsible for that previous crime too, then they're turbofucked.

I ask as Sweden has its first female Prime minister yesterday, for 7 hours before she resigned, and I wonder which had the shorter run. Like an hour and a half, I think? Really, comically short. And that will most likely be the longest amount of time the United States ever has a woman president for, acting or otherwise. Also Biden made his dumbfuck remarks about the Rittenhouse verdict as he was coming down off the anesthesia, so make of that whatever you will.
