This lawsuit is very stupid, but will like make the Trump campaign fork over some documents and defend themselves in court. Don’t really understand why they felt the need to name the Russian government, except that they want to compel the shell companies Russia set up prior to the election? I can't help but wonder if this isn't as stupid as I think. Coincides well with memos and lines up well with Mueller's report schedule. This is also uncharacteristicly ballsy. DNC usually a bunch of wusses. I don't think they'd do this without a high chance of a big victory. I think they'd do it without any chanc eof victory at all simply to make a statement.frivolous actions to make a statement are pretty common in politics after all; less common to do it via filing a lawsuit, but still happens some. I agree it's ballsier than you usually see from the dnc. I disagree. A innocent verdict utterly destroys DNC messaging and would be terrible. They have so, so, so much to lose with this. The messaging damage potential is too extreme. This is very all in. The tweets seem to imply that verdict either way is highly unlikely. That makes it a lot safer from a statement standpoint. Ah, that makes sense. I take back everything then. Seems safer if all this does is forcibly inhect a bunch more evidence and hearings into it. The ole Benghazi strategy.

On a lighter note, the Senate has been substantial improved by the existence of this baby. They had to change the rules because they treated all people in the senate as adults and fathers didn’t bring their babies to the senate. The dress code also had to be changed. The baby can wear whatever it wants. Hatch stepped in it real good by staying “What if there are ten babies in the Senate?” like it would be disruptive.
Yeah, what if you old fart? What if we were so fucking cool that we had 10 babies in the senate breaking? What if America was greater than it has ever been?
Babies are dope.

Calm down P6. We're talking about babies. Not dogs. Everyone knows are way cooler. Give me a senate with 5 dogs over 10 babies any day.

I applied to a law firm that had a “firm dog” that just hung out at the office to improve office spirits. The senior partner owned it. I have never been more disappointed in not getting a job. The Senate should consider adopting the same rule and get a Senate dog to future improve decorum and civility.

It would be disruptive. Aren't you pro-abortion? No one is pro-abortion. I oppose the government unlawfully restricting access to abortion for practical and ideological reasons.
And Hatch is an old fart that likes to tell tall tales about how he “earned his way to law school” when he got a free ride. Disruptive for him is when other senators debate on the realities of the bills he votes for.

They only need to be in the chambers when they vote. They are tasked with solving bigger problems in congress and somehow manage to do it.

Babies are dope. I've heard 10+ babies and they reach a quorum and can form a baby senate

I think a lot of people just assume this is the left's version of Benghazi.

Another state right to work state is faced with a teachers over education funding. We should not expect this to stop and it will like move over to other state employees pushed for more funding and support. My bet is these right to work states are going to continue to prompt strikes for the foreseeable future.

I don't get how people expect public servants work for no pay. We care about our kids! just as long as we don't have to pay for them. We care about roads!! just as long as we never pay for it. We care about all these things! As long as we never have to pay for it

A lot of people see teachers as glorified babysitters. It is a very sad situation. I'm not really sure how you convince people education is something that can have enormous benefits with increasing funding/importance.

People also love to complain about state workers pensions costs but they also seem to fail to notice that Alaska, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Georgia, Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Massachusetts, Missouri, Nevada, Ohio, Rhode Island and Texas all have some level of barring state public workers from social security their pension is all they have for retirement. Then the rest of the states may or may not allow public sector employees to pay into social security, it's a weird ass combination.
|
Barring them from taking social security contributes, especially in the less wealthy states. There wouldn't be this huge pension burden on states if they allowed civil servants to collect SS and a lower pension payment.

If people see teachers as babysitters they should be paid like one. Min wage per child per hour.

And then they would be like the students they were teaching in their old state, fleeing it for better pay and more employment options.
That is the part that convinces me that these Republicans have no idea how to govern states. Education is the number one things families moving to a new area care about. How do you cut education budgets while your own young adults are fleeing the state? A shrinking population will cause the state economy to implode. And then they somehow hope that cutting taxes will stimulate growth by attracting businesses. Rather than having well educated potential employees to attract business.
