    PAUL RYAN ISN'T RUNNING AGAIN, HAGAHA.

    Iron Stache made his ass quit. Ryan didn't want to be crushed under a hydraulic press by the Stache if get lost.

    He knows Trump would blame him for losing the House.

    He probably thinks Assad doesn't have the Internet.  Maybe Barron told him they don't have much Internet in those countries.

    It would help if the investigation would actually produce something. The longer it goes on with nothing really happening the less people care. There’s a saying in sales, “Time kills deals.” The longer nothing happens then the more people think there’s nothing there and that nothing will happen.

    .....

    That’s why I think that if a) the economy is still humming and b) the investigation is still dragging on, Trump will get elected for a second term.

     

    How many more of Trump's associates need to go down, past those who already have, to make it feel like things are being produced?  Watergate took, what two years to play out?  We are only 11 months into this, and this is far more complicated than Watergate (dealing with foreigners, electronic records, etc.), and we've had members of Congress actively fucking around and trying to help Trump/cover for Trump, and/or providing Trump inside information about investigations.

    As for Trump getting elected, there's been a bunch of areas that were pro-Trump by double-digits in 2016. that flipped to the Dems in the past year.  Not going to be easy for him at all, especially if he loses the House this fall.

    But if this is just a tactic to shake down a lower level guy to get him to flip on an upper level guy then that is some bullshit.

    Mueller has done a lot of work on mafia cases.  TV tells me that a lot of mafia cases play out by getting lower-level guys to flip on upper-level guys.

    Some of you may recall the discussions from the old board going on ten years now about GPS tracking or license plate tracking of automobiles.  Some of you might be aware that Govco has mandated event data recorders (EDRs) in all new cars/automobiles.  I suspect it won't be long before Govco gets the bright idea to expand on their "mission statement".

    Insurance companies were driving the EDR thing.  They lobbied the hell out of Congress to push that through.  They are always going to push for anything they can use in court to get out of paying out after wrecks.  

    Some of the car companies were implementing these for liability reasons as well - witness every time a Tesla wrecks and hits the national news - the Tesla company usually comes out and says "the driver was doing such-and-such, so it's not our fault."

    Some of the state governments wanted tracking for tax purposes (of battery-powered vehicles) as well, but voters were not thrilled with that.

    The US providing cover for French and British airstrikes. I saw this movie in 2011.

    One dictator dead, the country is still a mess.

    And the target is another country who they either fucked over as a colony a century ago, or whose borders they fucked up.

    If he knows he could do time in prison he may take desperate measures.

    If he could have gotten rid of Mueller before now, he would have.

    Trump thinks he has a lot more power than he actually does, but somebody has been telling him not to try and get rid of Mueller, and he's been listening to them, or he's scared shitless of Mueller.

    Hell, Trump can't even face a lot of the people that he fires.  True cuck or something.

    Were two long years of bitter public debate over Watergate. Nixon didn't step down until leaders of his own party + public pressure forced him to resign. Not sure the turtle and Paul Ryan have a backbone however.

    Do you think Paul Ryan will still be Speaker this time next year?

  9. Not sure how the hell you approach the scale of this.

    Quote

    Apple has reportedly picked up an anticipated TV version of Isaac Asimov's "Foundation" books, often seen as one of the archetypes on which modern science fiction is based.

    The series is being worked on by Skydance Television, with David Goyer and Josh Friedman as executive producers and showrunners, Deadline said on Tuesday. David Ellison, Dana Goldberg, and Marcy Ross from Skydance will also have executive producer roles.

    Goyer's credits include projects like "The Dark Knight," "Ghost Rider," and the "Blade" movies, while Friedman is best known for Steven Spielberg's "War of the Worlds" remake and "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles." The latter is also working on James Cameron's sequel to "Avatar."

    I didn't mean to impugn your perspective.  I just can't really abide much in the way of "well, he's kind of an idiot", mostly because it smells like interest is waning, and in my world, I want throngs of highly interested people at the ballot box come November.

    If he tried to fire Mueller, I think plenty of highly-interested people will be voting come November. 

    And Hillary won’t be on the ballot.

    The difference is that SHS is now floating the idea.  That's not random.

    No, but again, nothing changed this week. If they thought they could get away with it, they would have already done it. 

    Plus, Trump’s ego still thinks Mueller will ultimately exonerate him and somehow wrap up Hillary instead.
