Yeah, there's some idolization going on with her that doesn't match up. It's a change in voter law that contributed the most by far: the default in the 2016 aftermath was to opt in voter registration when getting a drivers license. Net result, their registrations almost doubled. On top of that the breakdown compared to 2020 showed it wasn't the black vote that flipped the state either: high income went +7, college grads +6, suburban +6, those 65+ +5, areas that went for Obama previously +5. Black voters just were +1% and areas that were 80% black went 0.5% towards Trump. Here:

Basically was old people, the suburbs, and rich people that made the shift. College grads increase may be attributed to the 2016 law too.

Usually you're going for a feel or vibe of the season, Titan is guilty of this. Though Titan is also pretty custom built for the show and way better than typical shounen at it.

Do think they're generally getting better at it with the clear successes that exists (Demon Slayer/Gurenge being the biggest in recent times). Then you've got shows that just go all in, like Interspecies Reviewers.

Right, they said it's 100% of the most severe effects. It's also significantly cheaper while also being easier to transport and store due to temperature/tech behind it. Lots of benefits to it if they can get it right.

Granted it's a bit silly to phrase it as 100% from hospitalization or severe effects but that's probably closer to the reality of the mRNA pair too. It's an important vaccine because of the three it's the one best suited for mass production.

Oh hey. From NYT:

Senators Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue, both Georgia Republicans facing tight runoff elections in a week, announced on Tuesday that they supported increasing the size of individual stimulus checks to $2,000 from $600, joining a growing number of Republican senators and increasing pressure on the Senate to vote on the measure.

Im delighted to support the president in this $2,000, Mr. Perdue said on Fox Newss Americas Newsroom on Tuesday morning. Its the right thing to do for people in Georgia.

between Graham, Hawley, Rubio, and now these two we might get that 2k check after all.

Corrik does believe that Mitch would've floored the vote, yes. Then they'd either pass it or suffer in the ballot box.

Lots of assumptions to go all around at this stage since it's firmly in "what if" territory but still should've taken the deal so we'd have that scenario play out as opposed to the current one of nothing.

We had bipartisan plans offered from the Senate and house. We had Republican plans. We had democrat plans. We had Trump plans. But the two people who had to come to an agreement to make it work, did not. And that is Trump and Pelosi. You can try and add whoever you want to say they are at fault also, but they were not the ones negotiating.

So here's what's going on: you're talking around each other. You're 100% right on that specific deal but people aren't talking about just that deal in the rest of what they're saying.

They're faulting Mitch for the stonewalling since March that got steadily worse as the year progressed. Initially republicans totally had it right - it should've been $2000, not $1200. But once Mitch and other corporatists came in we got the first batch of checks and fucked soon after.

Basically we go...
March: good idea.
April: execution is half assed but something.
May to July: nobody getting more shit, shifty excuses.
August to October: Mitch grows a set and just outright rejects everything to people and wants a 500 million deal mainly for corporate liability. Cue Trump executive order.
October to November: Pelosi wants 2.2 billion. Trump gets desperate and offers 1.8 trillion. She rejects him.
November to now: "Whoops."

People aren't blaming Mitch for that specific instance because honestly yeah, he didn't do much beyond go "I don't wanna." They're faulting him for everything else. Which yes, for your specific point is irrelevant. But people want their pound of turtle meat too.

By that analogy, Trump then randomly came in offering a turkey burger, Pelosi said it's beef or bust, Mitch said he doesn't wanna put turkey out and somehow that worked for both of them.

Though Mitch has technically offered more than before. Entirely politically motivated and fucked up yeah but I'd still say it's raw chicken, only it's been washed now.

Ill be the first to admit Pelosi was in a no-win situation there.

Nah, I reject that one on the premise that it shouldn't be a situation defined by wins and losses but duty. Doesn't matter what the win or loss crap is there, you got a good 80% of the amount asked for? You take that, not come up with excuses or make political decisions based on it. Best case, people got money in November through the holidays and into 2021. Worst case, it dies because your opponents killed it. Either way the only decision to be made here is what gets people the most help.

Of which, the current situation is such a shitty situation because it's pennies for losing god knows what in the bill.

Relevant paragraphs:

Two years later, Cahalys method once again proved solid. In one of the most polled races of the cycle, Trafalgar stood alone as the only polling firm to correctly show a Ron DeSantis gubernatorial victory in Florida as well as Rick Scott winning the Senate race there. (Both narrow outcomes will likely result in recounts.)

Trafalgar also correctly predicted Senate outcomes in Missouri, Montana, North Dakota, Texas and West Virginia (as of this writing Arizona remains undecided), making it the most accurate pollster of the cycle among those firms that polled multiple Senate and governor races.

Now if that's wrong fair enough. But that's where it's from. And I'd note the qualifier there but for major poll firms it won't make a difference. For smaller ones though, certainly.

Mm, that's fair but the difficulty comes in their modeling since I don't think anybody outside of them knows it. They did give Trump too many wins, i believe they had Trump winning the race, but they accounted for trump's voters far better than the usual pollsters. Them doing so well in 2018 midterms is just something that says it ain't a fluke of one candidate either.

I don't see how it qualifies as limiting the power of the government. If anything, it empowers the executive to do literally anything so long as it's a federal crime and not a state one.

The pardon power? So the big limit there would be with courts, second biggest would be the rest of the executive. Once in jail the only legal way out is if the executive or the judiacry step in.

One classic way pardons get used is the court refuses to hear a case of a guy in jail, for whatever reason they come up with. Could even be something lower people in the executive do, like the jailers, the AG, etc. Well, president/governor issues a pardon, now the court can't do shit and others in the executive can't do shit. They are limited as a result and can't fight back with an excuse. It's just dictated and done, rest of the branch has to fall in or leave.

DoomTheGyarados posted...

mostly because he talked about if you have a problem with this action you need other actions that limit the executive not calling an audible on something that could be majorly abused in the future in theory.

That's for the Flynn case and yeah, issue there is the court pretty much has to do what it's being told to do. Or did anyway. I don't know what rules or limits are on the executive or Barr to limit the executive in corruption cases but the answer isn't going against hundreds of years of precedent and towards a policy that actually is fascistic. Courts fortunately see that and we're good there.

Pardoning is a bigger extreme because it's just that much more absolute. Mechanically though the logic works since the executive controls all practical elements that can define a criminal. You'd have to somehow remove that and if you do, it's not the executive anymore. More specifically the absolute nature is just beneficial since it can just be done without any analysis so it won't have issue. Pretty much the only question is the matter of self pardons and that runs into the issue of you can't be the judge of your own case. Technically there's some lower officials that have but nobody ever took them to court so there's no case law.

I don't have issue with calling it a sham, that's gonna happen. But would rather have a sham every so often if it means defendants are protected to the maximum ability.

"The president should be able to unconditionally pardon his corrupt cronies" is in fact not a pro-defendant stance, but rather a pro-corruption stance.

No, pro defendant because it doesn't care who or what they are. It's not going to be a question for law to decide who qualifies for it, it's just going to be applied to all equally. The law is a hammer.

Basically I don't care what the position of the defendant is. It can be a corrupt person, it can be a mass murderer, the power being absolute is what's guaranteeing that it'll always be available and always be applicable no matter how things get. It's a power that only can favor the defendant and only limit the government.

Really? Because this is two days in a row now where you looked at blatantly corrupt actions and went "Yeeeeah boy, gimme some more of that, we need more of that. Exactly as it should be!"

Because the corrupt action is irrelevant. Only the system matters. Don't care about who it is, only care about the way it's done. Fortunately that's also the way courts rule, which also goes just as hard on protecting defendants as I do.
