  1. Haven't seen something like that but Phang was posting it to her twitter account as it was happening and NY Times was posting this info to their ticker on their website.
  2. my point is that it's not just Fox News who was spreading the information and point the finger exclusively at them is disingenuous. not that you specifically were but there's a narrative out there that only Fox was doing this to mess with the jury when all they and other media outlets were doing was reporting things they thought they could report (Waters editorializing aside - he'd say that shit even if he knew nothing about them).
  3. NY Times, CBS, and MSNBC all reported the same information as Fox News. the jurors used that as an excuse to get out of jury duty. then the judge told them to all not report that stuff even though it's being stated in open court. bottom line is they are going to just have to sequester the jury once this starts.
  4. There's some disingenuous bullshit being spouted right now by the media. ALL Y'ALL ARE REPORTING THE WORK DETAILS OF THE JURORS NOT JUST FOX!
  5. because it's still one of the most powerful positions in the United States and third in line for the presidency? also note that the GOP may be going to change the rules for removal (see Marge's whining). if they do that then he's more secure and more empowered.
  6. but the thing is that Trump doesn't want anything passed. this is a clear win for Biden getting this thing through (he's already said he'll sign this or the Senate version).
  7. I don't think Johnson is pushing the foreign aid bill(s) because he's willing to sacrifice himself. If that were the case he would have done it by now. Something's changed that he no longer fears losing his position.
  8. Full text of Renn's post: Full text of Darling's: I don't follow these accounts - Kinzinger reposted this. Might explain how things changed.
  9. actually my read was it was enough Republicans were ready to sign it to bring it up to a vote - so they told him to do it or they'll do it for him. keep in mind there were many Democrats who had yet to sign the discharge petition so there had to be a LOT of Republicans telling him to move this forward.
