| LordoftheMorons 10/08/19 11:11:22 PM #421 | Iirc they announced ahead of time which polls they're using for qualificiation. Presumably there are only 11 national and 7 state that they're using so far (unless Biden, Warren, and Sanders somehow didn't qualify in some!) And yeah Yang just qualified today --- Congrats to Advokaiser for winning the CBX Guru Challenge! |

| LordoftheMorons 10/08/19 10:19:28 PM #412 | It's not really an indictment of the DNC as much as voters. You can certainly make a decent argument that the donor criterion is dumb (and very gameable; Steyer basically bought his donors by dumping iirc millions into Facebook ads), but the criterion that's actually keeping others off the stage is having enough qualifying polls, which is about as reasonable an objective measure as you can get. Somehow Steyer has gotten four 3% polls! --- Congrats to Advokaiser for winning the CBX Guru Challenge! |

| LordoftheMorons 10/08/19 10:04:48 PM #5 | Mitochondriagon posted... I typically don't use straws but why are they banned in some places? Is it an enviromental reason?Yes, but straws are a very small percentage of plastic waste so it's more of a way to make people feel like they're making an impact than anything else. Doesn't make sense to ban them imo when all of the alternatives suck and they're not a major problem. --- Congrats to Advokaiser for winning the CBX Guru Challenge! |

| LordoftheMorons 10/08/19 6:55:27 PM #396 | Why are so many GOP Members of Congress defending Trump's indefensible actions, then? (Or perhaps more saliently, why are so few explicitly saying that they were wrong, and none calling them impeachable?)

Working for Trump sounds like just about the worst job in the world - where you will be constantly asked to do unethical things and take indefensible positions, and then to take the blame for anything that goes wrong. And, if you aren't paid up front you can pretty much forget about being paid after the work is done.Is that really that different than being a GOP Congressman? --- Congrats to Advokaiser for winning the CBX Guru Challenge! |

| LordoftheMorons 10/08/19 6:05:02 PM #256 | The rule is vague enough to essentially be "we can ban a player for any reason at our sole discretion." It's not a defense. And I'll never stop being amazed by people simultaneously arguing that a corporation should be able to anything because they're just maximizing profits, but that a person choosing to take their money elsewhere is being ridiculous. --- Congrats to Advokaiser for winning the CBX Guru Challenge! |

| LordoftheMorons 10/08/19 6:02:09 PM #378 | I can't imagine the Supreme Court taking Trump's side here. I would be pretty surprised if even a single Justice did (and I don't exactly have a lot of faith in the conservative justices in general). Agreeing to this is to say that the President is above the law, full stop. It also makes obstruction a slam dunk impeachable offense (if it wasn't already). Stalling for time is the only possible benefit, but I really doubt the WH is making this decision strategically. This is just Trump's instinct: fight accountability like hell no matter what. --- Congrats to Advokaiser for winning the CBX Guru Challenge! |
