Manpower needs are always something the Navy needs to address. Doesn't even matter which navy we're talking about or even what century we're talking about.

That said my underinformed opinion is that decommissioning the Truman instead of biting the bullet and refueling her is probably a false economy considering how gung ho China is about carrier building.

So I'm sure you guys are sick of hearing from me about this, but we're less than six months into the 116th Congress and already HR 553 has about 260 cosponsors.

Why is this important?

When the Democrats took control of the House they changed some of the procedural rules. One of them is a rule that says if a bill gets a supermajority of the House to cosponsor it (290 cosponsors), the bill's sponsor can bypass the committee process and it gets put into a queue for a floor vote. The House has to bring one bill from the queue (the "Consensus Calendar") to the floor every week. Currently the Consensus Calendar is empty, so hitting that threshold pretty much guarantees a vote.

The bill is 30 cosponsors away from being eligible to be brought to the floor in this manner, and I would love to hear Congress try to squirm out of having to avoid passing this bill despite currently having 320 members in support of it (260 in the House, 60 in the Senate).

Please for the love of gently caress, if your Congressfucker isn't already a cosponsor of this bill, take the time to call their office to ask why not. Put the screws to 'em.

A list of cosponsors can be found here, it's updated every few days. Or if you're a lazy sack of poo poo, you can PM me and I'll tell you whether or not your Congressfucker has cosponsored or not. And that you're a lazy sack of poo poo.

Well, my Congressman's already sponsoring this.

Nobody deserves to waste their youth quite like college republicans.

When I was a Republican in college (it was decades ago, OK?) I found the College Republicans too miserable to be around. I mean, I went to a party school where you had to work very hard at being so awful that nobody would invite you to a party on Saturday night and the College Republicans were still those dudes. The astrophysics majors had better social lives than they did.

Technically correct (if you're a certain kind of Christian) yet still missing the whole point of what Jesus tried to do even if you don't think he was the radical socialist reformer he was.

Like my dude the whole point of the crucifixion was that it was a blatantly unfair and horrific punishment that he endured specifically because it would redeem your stupid sinful rear end.

EDIT: I'd rather be shot by a firing squad than be gassed or hung or electrocuted TBH. Especially if I'm allowed to keep a cigarette in my mouth when the shoot me.

Seriously, Catholicism is probably the biggest rules-lawyering religion that isn't Judaism (because of that one Talmud story where the rabbis all tell God to stay the gently caress out of their rabbinical argument because it doesn't concern Him). "The Book of Occlusion clearly says we should always do this except if St. Patrick's Day is a Friday then go ahead and scarf down your corned beef and cabbage oh and Capybara count as fish so eat those every Friday if you want."

She's not wrong. A failed impeachment of Trump (and unless the GOP wins the presidency but loses the Senate in 2020, that's what we'll get) would probably be worse than no impeachment.

Don't get me wrong, I have problems with Pelosi for other reasons but this is the unfortunate truth we're facing. You don't come at the king knowing you'll miss.

shame on an IGA posted:

"Be more like the people who actually understand how power works and have been dunking on you uninterrupted for 30 years" sounds like a pretty good plan imo

So the Dems should partner with Russia and actively undermine their own government? I think there's got to be some middle ground between that and "same old same old Dem bullshit".
