GOP Failure Watch Part VI (Majority in House Edition) The Insurrection Caucus Sh*tshow.

So'm I-- but we're not trumpanzees, are we?

 

The absolute dumbest guy at my college-- a classic legacy, a guy so dumb, with a girlfriend so dumb that neither of them realized that she was gaining weight because she was pregnant*-- has spent much of a life running a huge insurance agency in a major metropolitan area and pulling down 300-500k a year.

*her hairdresser had to tell them. They married and produced a litter of little crash test dummies...

 

Profiles in courage:

Collins: They targeted not just your dad, but also your wife? I mean, this is someone who attacked your own members of your family. And what we learned from this testimony is that not only did Trump know about it, he coordinated it. pic.twitter.com/t0T3ir9NMV

My inheritance is financial. I will say that I did look up inheritance laws after a chat with said family member about it. But that was more so I wouldn't be shocked. All I'm doing with mine is paying off the mortgage in one fell swoop and then investing the rest. Will probably dip into it if I get unemployed or if I just want to saw screw it and live my life in Japan.

If I could, I'd rather trade all that just to spend time with my mother again.

 

It is a shame that the GQP didn’t choose a more statesmanlike figure as their candidate:

I forgot how much I loved that episode. Top 5 for me. Back when the Simpsons were still funny.

 

I remember a few years back listening to this young gay comedian talking about how he was a bit tired of how almost all gay relationships on TV or like actual dating and he was like sometimes it's just ********ing. There should be more casual sex, enough love is love and more ********ing is ********ing.

I remember thinking damn this is a young kid who doesn't understand the struggle. The view of homosexuality as some sort of depraved abnormality and how we went from that to "don't ask, don't tell" to marriage equality, was the concept of marriage equality and love is love. Whoever came up with the term marriage equality from a PR standpoint deserves to go into Hall of Fame because that phrasing totally changed the argument.

 

Yeah but it was your choice to be a Chelsea fan no one mad you. So you fall into that group.

 

Totally normal behavior for a former UN ambassador.

 

Still, you know, he's right.

Your point is spot on, but so is his--equality isn't equality until it is complete. Can't get stuck half or three quarters of the way around the course and be the only demographic group that is expected to be virgin until marriage.

 

If they were jail bags, Trump would steal and sell them back to the cult:

Just so you know, when you go to jail, they will take your bag and keep it in storage until you are released. You don't get to bring in a "jail bag".

Imagine if all the trumpers voluntarily went to jail in solidarity with the baby tyrant. It would be like a national detox.

 

I'd settle for them moving to Russia en masse.

 

There's historical precedent for exiling Copperheads, at least-- or was that just de facto or self-exile?

They also don't appear to know how US laws work.. There is no state that would provide him with safe harbor. If Trump fails to show up there would be a phone call to the Secret Service and they'd deliver him to NY.

 

I know you’re purposefully trying to oversimplify this but it would take more than a phone call for the secret service to arrest and deliver.

NY state would have to issue a warrant.

And then the extradition process would start. And he would fight it.

Regarding knowing the law…the law is whatever this SCOTUS determines it to be. Is the constitution clear? Sure. But it’s pretty ********ing clear that no..there is no such thing as presidential immunity but that’s not stopping this court from taking that argument seriously.

 

This is not a correct statement. The Secret Service is a law enforcement organization and the agents on protection detail are federal law enforcement agents assigned to the President for his protection. As a result, if they witness a crime occurring while they are protecting someone, they can arrest them without a warrant.

 

Yes, it is a little more complicated than a phone call, but a state can't technically refuse extradition to another state if there is a conviction. Well, they can, but all a state would need to do is get an order from a federal judge and federal law enforcement rolls in and collects the fugitive.

 

Which could then be appealed. And the novel argument would be that he shouldn’t be sent to the demanding state while he is the leading candidate for the presidential election….which…if he wins….means that the state of NY cannot jail him while he serves as president. Now…it’s obviously a bullshit argument…but this would go to SCOTUS…and well…they’re gonna have to decide this anyway….and they’d wait until after the election to do so…and even then…they can simply rule “because we said so bitches”.

Edit: the state he is in wouldn’t challenge it. He would.

 

You’d have to narrow down “bring him in”. Deliver him to a federal court in the state he’s in? Yes. Put him on a plane to JFK? No. He can stilll challenge extradition and the warrant.
