2023 Republican Government Shutdown: Same Shit, Same Story
So is there a deal or not?

The Robert Mueller Investigation
Indicments have to detail the basis for the crime. You woudln't charge one person when you're developing the case against a whole number of people. As I said up thread, Mueller is holding back the broad substantive charges. You could piece together several uncharged crimes based on the information in the indictments alone.

I think Mueller is saving the big conspiracy and substantive charges for an indictment including the top of the Trump campaign and Trump as unindicted co-conspirator. He has everything he needs for a big conspiracy charge, including Trump. .

2023 Republican Government Shutdown: Same Shit, Same Story
I've seen the scenario discussed where democrats then only support a stopgap measure if it overrides the national emergency. I don't think there will be much appetite for this, even if it's sound in principle. I think they'll reopen and let it play out in the courts. Pass some separate symbolic legislation limiting the emergency declaration.

We're seeing Trump's incompetence shine through. With GOP control of both houses of Congress, McConnell and Ryan could cover up for his mistakes and he could still accomplish some things and have a some political wins even if not legislatively. Now he's playing his twos as aces and getting skull fucked by Ms. Pelosi. I love it.

So it seems like Senate republicans are about ready to surrender. Nancy shouldn't give money for an inch of a wall. Fuck em. I'm not getting paid again tomorrow, but fuck 'em. Give him nothing.

Article saying wealth tax is unconstitutional. Reasoning makes sense to me. https://www.forbes.com/sites/timworstall/2014/04/29/pikettys-wealth-tax-would-require-a-constitutional-amendment-in-the-us/#5cf683a9fa93

I don't think Biden does that well once things get going. He's riding on name recognition relative to other candidates right now.

I like this. Would a wealth tax be consititutional though? They'd have to really think through the svasiom issues too.

A lot of the impact of this is not going to be apparent immediately or possibly not ever discernible, but there's no doubt an impact. I'm a federal antitrust attorney. We had to suspend the investigations we working on. We'll eventually continue, but the month of lost work means a one month delay in those investigations and that resources will be lost down the road that could go to investigating other conduct. Other than targets and third-parties connected to these investigations, no one is going to notice but that doesn't mean there's not an impact. I would guess most of the effects of the shutdown fall in this category of longer-term projects. In case I'm doxxed, I'm speaking in my personal capacity and these views are my own. Not that I could represent my agency anyway, as I am not legally permitted to work.

Donald Trump 2019
On the question about big bend, he's started saying that in some places natural barriers make a wall unnecessary. I assume this would apply to Big Bend. But is there any where to see where he's proposing to build new wall? My understanding is that they can be effective in urban areas but I'm guessing most of those areas already have physical barriers.

This is a really effective message that should be accessible to most people. Earlier in the thread I analogized it to how you respond to a child throwing a fit. If you give in, they're going to do it again. Every parents knows this.- Donald Trump 2019
That kid's going to get a Whitehouse invite. Guarantee it.- Donald Trump 2019
Isn't it suspected that the increasingly frequent destabilization if the polar vortex is due to climate change? Such stupid.- 2023 Republican Government Shutdown: Same Shit, Same Story
I do not think this is going to go over how Trump and co wanted.- 2023 Republican Government Shutdown: Same Shit, Same Story
"bipartisan steps." Like shutting down the government for a month, holding dedicated public servants' salaries, critical services, and perhaps the entire economy hostage to get your pet policy project without any comparative analysis of alternatives? Okay. What a joke. This is amateur hour.- 2023 Republican Government Shutdown: Same Shit, Same Story
Pelosi should tell him to go fuck himself and open the government. Dems are winning. This isn't going to move things an inch.- 2023 Republican Government Shutdown: Same Shit, Same Story
"this is a common sense compromise...[that I just told you about.]" This is terrible.- 2023 Republican Government Shutdown: Same Shit, Same Story
Yeah, but she hadn't hear Dotard tell us about coyotes, drugs, crime and raping. 200 miles of wall and its' done.- Donald Trump 2019
So the offer is to stop trying to deport DACA recipients and some other brown people in a shitty situation in exchange for $5.7 billion for wall. Good luck with that. I'm going to start planning to hike the Appalachian trail cause I'm not going back to work any time soon. https://www.washingtonpost.com/powerpost/trump-to-make-new-offer-to-democrats-as-government-shutdown-drags-on/2019/01/19/2cde029e-1bf3-11e9-9ebf-c5fed1b7a081_story.html?utm_term=.8be712bb0d1d - 2023 Republican Government Shutdown: Same Shit, Same Story
