    But the speaker may have to give something up each time to get votes if he wants to remain speaker. 
     

    or maybe he will dare them not to save him. 

    It's sort of like in Saving Private Ryan when they blew up the bunker and the Marine? yells don't shoot let em burn.   Let em burn, unless they give you something you want.

    The Supreme Court is purposefully slow-walking something that should have been pushed to the front of the line pronto, a la Bush v Gore. And everyone (well, everyone paying attention, which is probably about 10% of society) is like "Yeah that sounds about right."

    True, but I'm actually referring to how this has permeated well beneath the rungs of the Supreme Court.  To a degree, due to some judges being elected, this has always been the case, but I think in this era it's gotten far worse among appointed judges and the like.  Perhaps that's just my own frustration showing at the moment.

  3. People involved in obstruction typically won't include the judiciary.  Yet here we sit.  We are going to have to win in November for any trial of consequence to even take place.  Ridiculous.  

    The real problem to me isn't that lawyers are throwing everything they have at this (that after all is their job).  The problem is that judicial system is completely compromised by the politics of the day, rather than the heart of the matter.  I'm not sure how you solve that.

    In related news, happen to click past Fox News and stopped for 2 seconds because they had a picture of the courtroom on screen. Wanted to see what they were saying. This is what I heard verbatim:

    You’ve heard of the song American Pie. The day the music died. Well this is the day justice died. The prosecutor put that liar Stormy Daniels on the stand for no other reason than to help the Biden campaign….. click change channel…

    Yea those are the actual words. News indeed. I never watch that shit so when I do I appalled every time. But here we are.

    We have sling, primarily because it gives us ESPN, but I absolutely loathe the fact the invariably I wind up paying these assholes.  Speaking of the devil, anyone know of a streaming package that doesn't?

    If he wins the election, why even bother with the oath of office?

    Well, the Supreme Court is deciding right now whether or not we have rule of law to begin with (and several of them might go against it), so what's the point of an oath anyway?

    I'm confused.  Why would you want to see today's McDougal titties when prime McDougal titties and poonanny are readily available?

    I can only speak for myself, but my only rules on titties is if I'm allowed to touch them or see them, they are real.

    That was my question from before the trial started. Are they going to call Daniels and McDougal extortionists? I mean they have to right?

    I wonder if they will essentially call no defense witnesses and just try to argue at close that the State simply hasn't made it's case.  Hicks testimony completely torpedoes the notion that Trump didn't know and that Cohen was acting alone, so to me that angle is out.

    I can fap to this?

    I'm guessing that at some point in history a man/men took care of business to the cave paintings in Lascaux, I'm guessing you are in the clear.

    Rubio. Good lord. 

    I'm honestly baffled why a sitting Senator would bite on this.  I suppose the thought is that if he wins you are VP and there is good chance he dies in office.  That said, all of them have to know it's long odds.
