That cat and your avatar should have a love child together.
Considering Pence does absolutely nothing on a day to day basis, I'm surprised Trump hasn't installed him to sit in the senate every day so they can try to get anything done. I'd love to see it on record that Pence had to tiebreak what would normally be a unanimous consent vote to end early some random afternoon. And yes I know that wouldn't solve the issues on committee, but it's better than nothing from Trump's perspective.
He can't even tie-break though, right? He'd need Flake and McCain.
If I was a spinless jellyfish like Flake who hated Trump but didn't have the guts to openly fight him, I'd just stay on vacation until my term was up. I wonder if that's what he's doing?
i think it's 49-49 with Arizona absent, no? flake is just disproportionately crippling to judicial nominations because he's on the judiciary committee?
no clue how ties in committee work. people in this thread were talking like he was delaying it by being away, though
You guys shouldn't have faith in Flake to do the right thing. He will be back to push through all the Republican garbage before he leaves office. Probably he will show up this week in Washington.
Your right against self incrimination would only go away if there's no way to incriminate yourself by testifying. Like if you were pardoned for a crime that can only be charged federally, or you can't be charged for it again at the state level because of double jeopardy laws.
I don't. it would be hilarious if he fucks everything up, but I'm sure he will be back to help Yertle ruin the country for decades.
I think if there's a tie in committee it just doesn't go through.
Eh maybe. One of the first attempts to investigate Watergate (and really the sketchiest part of the whole thing) was about the cash the burglars had which had been smuggled to them from donors to CRP.
There's no telling what all Nixon knew, and it's clear he wasn't doing it necessarily for financial gain, but tons of sketchy cash was involved in the whole thing.
Is Flake *really* still in Africa? I know it's been a minute since we've seen him but it's not like he's got a cloud of paparazzi following him everywhere.
Checking his Twitter, the last Definitely in Africa post was from the 3rd, so idk.

Jesus Christ that logic. In my state. Democrats better get out there and vote.
Wow. She's going on a bus tour with a rapist?
The Democrats better seize on this.
That's not Macho Mantis Randy Mantis and I'm disappointed.
She knows damn well what his views are, just like every last boot-licking Republican knows damn well what Trump stands for. Nobody in politics who isn't a complete moron (and I know it's Chemtrail Kelli, but still) has anyone in their orbit, never mind on a fucking bus tour, who's an unknown quantity. She either agrees with his views or is comfortable enough not to mind them, at the very least seeing it as the cost of doing business and getting elected. But there's no way in hell she doesn't know.
I don't supposed they called her on that?

Just like treating Black people equally (not that we do) led to somebody named Obama becoming president.
I mean McSally will probably win the primary anyway. And Sinema will win the general.
So that's why I haven't been seeing your posts as often lately ;)
I wonder if they're referring to the intelligence officer the Washington Post wrote about and who was depicted in Zero Dark Thirty, and concluding it was Brennan.

This feels like a leak from Trump's people. If they thought that Cohen was about to flip, it would behoove them (even if it is a complete lie) to get a story out there that Cohen was going to jail if he didn't flip.
