Not really. I think the GOP spends more time trying to keep Trump happy so they dont lose his base than they do running the show. Most of them seem to be spineless yes men/women right now.

I will admit that there is still a chance I would vote Bernie over Trump, and thats due to the environment. Trump doesnt care about that at all, and I want my girls to be able to lead a full life that isnt cut short because of some kind of climate disaster. If that is the matchup Id be doing a lot of digging into that stuff before making a final decision one way or another, but I can cross that bridge another day.

A lot of the hidden power of the GOP has been in judge appointments, blocking legislation in the senate, stuff like the travel ban and foreign policy, and gutting federal agencies. This may not sound like a big deal but I assure you that the GOP knows what they're doing and for the most part Trump's appointments are what allow them to do it.

The environment is definitely a major issue for the future that Trump is not going to come around on because he already thinks he is doing a great job, and there are other things like housing and healthcare that are pretty unstable for young people too that Trump has been awful for.

He is still the farthest left Republican you are going to get. Mike Pence is a daily reminder about the kind of moralistic, hardline, right wing government you could get but for Donald Trump.

And Trump is still doing a pretty good job of furthering Pence's goal of a Christian theocracy, just not quite as quickly as Pence would have it

As I said before, I tend to side with the right on economic issues, and the left on social issues. In simple terms, even if Trump is extremely far to the right (which I don't think he is, especially compared to how far left Bernie is), Bernie is just the same on the left

The Trump administration as a whole is pretty far right on those social and political issues though because the man himself is content to let the GOP run the show for the most part. Does that not factor into this at all?

If Bernie got 17% in the first and second rounds, why is he at 0% on that graphic above?

Because that's from one satellite caucus which is also by far the biggest one so far, Nate is pooling them all.

The shocking thing to me there is that Sanders isn't in the top 4. I don't like the guy, but I'd be surprised if he doesn't win Iowa and New Hampshire.

It's a remote caucus for Iowa state residents currently living in Florida (so old, retired, and rich) so I wouldn't take that as indicative of Bernie support at all. It's just funny.

Kind of interesting for that demographic and for Florida, though!

Yeah, adding more to Shinra HQ makes sense.

I also noticed the characters' attacks seem a bit more personalized (Tifa looks like she does the 'many weak attacks' thing), which leaves me wondering what each character's gimmick will be.

I can see most of them being somewhat self-explanatory but what the fuck is Cait Sith going to do?

Great article by Nate explaining the Iowa caucus.

Notably, his model is predicting Bernie 1st then Biden 2nd after realignment! But it doesn't predict delegate distributions and he notes that the media spin is probably going to be weird because there are three different ways to count the votes and decide on winners.

Well, of course. I'm just saying that Reconstruction being allowed to fail and the South being let off the hook - and more than that letting them implement policies like Jim Crow - was yet another massive mistake.

Yeah sorry I agree I'm just being snarky

Reconstruction is actually the most important time to single out because it's so important but it was totally glossed over in the public education system. At least, it was for me, but I went to high school in South Carolina sooooo....

it's almost like the institution of chattel slavery itself was a massive mistake that has shaped the entire nation's history

I always like to think about why we are seeing this time that is the show of this characters life and it started when Diane and Bojack met and ended when she completely cut him out. Even Todd cut him out. Everyones life seemed to go better after they cut him out.

I think this is what was so interesting about S4. Bojack was mostly on his own dealing with the Hollyhock plotline, but the show went from Bojack interfering in the others' lives to the others roping him back into their lives because they needed him again. But eventually the characters all started to move past that.

I'm still chewing on this after finishing and it gives me a weird feeling.

It's a little rushed but not really that rushed outside of a few characters and moments. A lot of stuff that feels that COULD have been fleshed out but didnt really need to be. The conclusion feels satisfactory and it makes sense but it's also vaguely unsatisfying in a way that makes me feel like I'm missing something or that there's supposed to be more.

But the more I think about it the more I think that was the point. It fits the themes very well and I honestly cant think of anything that would have made the actual ending better besides there simply being more show.

I love giving BW&J more screen time, I wish they were just full on party members for this part of the game. Would have been neat.

Oh yeah I like this a lot and it'll make that part of the story hit harder. But I'm also expecting some duds. And I kind of said it like a bad thing but I'm not actually a FF7 diehard or purist so these kind of changes interest me!

Guys they're giving Biggs, Wedge, and Jesse a bunch of new screentime in trailers and have already added an Original the Character. Do you really think Nomura isn't going to tie in the entire FF7 EU and add even more people wearing belts?

If that's the case, she should have phrased it in a way that suggested that he/the Court would lose legitimacy if he was in a position to decide these things but didn't; otherwise it really makes no sense to say that it reflects on them rather than solely on the Senate GOP.

Schiff's deflection was that it reflects badly on the entire government as a whole so I guess fair enough.

If she wanted to increase the odds that he'd tiebreak I don't see how implying that he or the Supreme Court had already lost legitimacy when he had yet to make any consequential decisions was going to do that.

The question itself hinged the loss of court and constitutional credibility on the fact that the trial is a sham without witnesses and evidence, which can be fixed by his vote. Also don't think it's controversial to point out that Republicans aren't putting the Chief Justice in a great position, but it's possible Roberts feels otherwise.

. (The real risk imo is that it could have pissed off Roberts and made him less likely to allow witnesses were there actually a tie; I dont think that was very likely anyway, but if it pushes it down from 10% to 5% or something that would have been a dumb thing to do for no reason).

uh

This would be the exact reason she asked that. If you already have very little reason to believe he'll vote for witnesses you have nearly nothing to lose. Even your 10-5% example is nothing. From a gaming/gambling perspective you make that play every single time.

It sounds to me like she was negatively influenced by Warrens question asking if the process besmirches Chief Justice Roberts, because as far as Im aware, thats the only time its been mentioned.

I mean the GOP absolutely does not want it to go to Roberts for a tiebreaker anyways, which it would have done with her yes votes.

What was the justification for acquitting Bill Clinton? He committed perjury and anyone who thinks he didnt is deluding themselves

Well, Marco Rubio (hear me out!) justified his vote today by saying that even if a president commits an impeachable offense, it's not necessarily in the best interest to impeach and remove them.

Now, I don't think this actually applies to the current impeachment, but do you think this could be generally true? I don't know enough about the Bill Clinton impeachment but it seems like a similar situation.

A) He said he didn't want to run against Hillary/Bernie.

B) I'm pretty sure he wouldn't bother with doing all this shit with Ukraine and Biden if he didn't think Biden would be his toughest opponent.

I think you're right that Trump now considers Biden to be the bigger threat, but I think he's off in his assessment and Bernie isn't that much weaker. IMO Trump's weird "praise Bernie" strat he's going for is some misguided attempt to peel off Bernie voters, but I don't think that's going to be effective.

TheRock1525 posted...

The best strategy was a witness exchange. Call Dems on a bluff, parade out the Bidens who will likely fumble around and give ammunition for them, and avoid the fact that 75% of Americans actually want witnesses.

If they do that and their smear on Biden works, it'll be just in time to hurt him enough in the primary to the point where he wouldn't even be the nominee. Or, it would backfire and supercharge him.

The timing is actually pretty obnoxious for Republicans. If they want to smear Biden more they have to wait until after he's nominated.

if Pete, Klobuchar, and Warren end up letting things fall wherever they may, they may end up split it 4 or 5 ways.

I feel like a lot of these voters 2nd choices are gonna go to Biden so I'm not getting my hopes up for a Biden flop. Even if one of those 3 gets enough support to come in 3rd behind Bernie, Biden is going to be peeling votes from this group every time they're forced to switch candidates.
