Happitoo posted:None of CNN gives a gently caress anymore. Yesterday or the day before one of the afternoon hosts opened the show going “In a new level of stupid for this administration” and then proceeded into whatever bullshit was happening yesterday. I think the fact that CNN reporters were being detained and shot at by police during protests finally made CNN realize that there is no sense trying to play nice with Trump anymore. Wish it had happened 4 years ago but oh well

nine-gear crow posted:Brad Parscale was basically a coffee boy in 2016 and Steve Bannon's sort of understudy. He seemed like he did a good job because Hillary Clinton's online game was awful while Trump's team was memeing him to victory. He became Trump's campaign manager because everyone else in his inner circle was either fired, resigned, or in prison, and his 2020 strategy blew up in his face because literal children turned his meme game against him and destroyed him with it. Fitting end for the "Death Star" of Brad Parscale, really

OJ MIST 2 THE DICK posted:also Obama pulled the Calvinball poo poo like 2 years prior to Garland due to the McConnell's intransigence and the end result was the NRLB vacating a ton of cases because it turns out just because the Senate isn't considering your picks that doesn't mean you get to appoint people while they're not out of session for better or worse Yeah but for some reason people love to forget that. Garland was literally picked because it was a "ok maybe they won't block this" hail-mary, there is absolutely no realistic scenario where any pick of Obama's gets through in 2016 because Mitch McConnell is a fuckhead. And it's not like the general public cared that much either about this breach of tradition or  or whatever buzzword you want to use for it:quote:Forty-three percent of respondents said that the Senate should vote this year on Obama's preferred replacement for Scalia, while 42 percent said they should wait until a new president is sworn in to fill the vacancy. And, how's this for polarization parity? Eighty-one percent of Democrats believe the Senate vote should happen while Obama is in office, while 81 percent of Republicans think that the vote can (and should) wait until next year under a new president. Among independents, those pesky on-the-fence voters, sentiment is split as well: 43 percent prefer a vote this year, while 42 percent favor a confirmation vote next year. (source)

Djarum posted:You also have to remember that all of this power being in the hands of a Senate Leader is a modern invention as well. Before most of the power was in the hands of committee heads and almost all legislature came out of the various sub-committees with most issues already ironed out without the interference of leadership, etc. The Leader was generally a ceremonial title that was given to who had the most seniority. A big reason for the multitude of issues within the Senate has to do with this change and the break down of procedure. Well also the Republicans on the Senate Judiciary Committee also went "lolno we're not holding a vote", probably at McConnell's behest, but still.

Glumwheels posted:This is unbelievable, and I’ve read it seems Governor Brown and the mayor are doing nothing to stop this. I'm not entirely certain about the Governor, but the mayor is unable to order BORTAC to leave because they are (allegedly) there to defend federal buildings and therefore above the city's jurisdiction. All he can basically do is ask them to leave.

Obama plays basketball in the summer, Republicans complain Trump sits on his fat rear end in the summer outside, Republicans rejoice at what a specimen of a man this is. It's hilarious how the GOP hosed themselves so hard having to go for bat for this misshapen lump, if not for, you know, the horrible crumbling of the country as a result of it.

You literally took Matt Gaetz at his word, and not only that you also extrapolated "she is not a bitch" to mean "we are BEST FRIENDS"

Police: Richmond riots instigated by white supremacists disguised as Black Lives Matter Gee it's really weird (not really) how most of the violence at these protests are false-flags done by white supremacists or the cops (but I repeat myself). Also weird how those same white supremacists aren't the ones who got arrested.
