No there isn’t. The filibuster is gone. The majority has absolute control of the SC nomination process. All that can be done is to apply pressure to vulnerable senators in tight elections to push them to a no vote.  But you need 4 senators to counter Vice President Pence.  Some of those senators might consider NOT…

There isn’t. A chain of events since Obama’s first term has led to this moment and the spark was actually the Dems trying to stop the Republicans from gumming up Obama nominees. Back then R’s were filibustering lower court appointments. So Harry Reid killed the 2/3rds requirement. This gave McConnell his justification…

Yeah, they buried the actual crimes about 3 paragraphs in. He’s going to jail for a $2million Medicaid fraud scheme he was running. The hoverboard was just one charge included with 45 other felony and misdemeanor charges.

After factory incentives dealer profit is typically <5% and in many cases they sell the vehicle for only a few hundred dollars over their purchase cost and pass through the freight costs. There are dealers who only break even or take a loss on their purchase price to move inventory. So you are talking about erasing…

If Kawhi had stayed in TO the Raptors 100% beat the Celtics and 100% would beat Miami and 100% repeat as NBA champions by kicking the living crap out of LeBron’s Lakers. The frustrating thing as a Raptors fan is knowing Kawhi doesn’t actually care about winning. If he did he would have stayed...

Now? Genocide of first nations, slavery, black wall street, extra-judicial killings of american citizens (I’m not talking about police violence here, but actual summary executions of Americans on foreign soil, including children), drone attacks on civilian locations, mass incarcerations of POC, family separations... I…

In any other administration on Earth she would have stepped down by now and promised to repay. Instead we have an administration defending this kind of reckless spending while clamping down on low cost social programs because they cost too much. People say the US has become too partisan. But the reality is Democrats…

Opening schools does need to happen. Schools are vital for many at risk children and there is serious risk to children in terms of physical and mental health if they don’t go back to school. Not to mention the very significant impact to education needs. Epidemiologists, pediatricians and mental health experts the…

I disagree that it was politically prudent the moment Trump said the words in May. In the 24/7 news cycle of shit that comes out of the Trump administration even the revelation now will be buried and well out of the general public’s opinion by election day. At least it is out at a time it can be part of a debate…

Bolton MIGHT have been able to actually participate in the impeachment process. Not that it would have changed anything. But him skipping testimony for a book deal is truly a betrayal of the public interest. Woodward wouldn’t have an impact other than at this moment. In fact it could be argued that he waited for the…

Its a good thing this only covers up part of the book. I think you are looking at a potentially 4-5 hours of movie to cover the novel. While I agree, Dune was best served by the SCI-FI miniseries from the early 00's and a 10 hour HBO offering would be ideal, having a 5 hour movie is better than a 2 hour one.

So this isn’t related to the article but actually to an insult you used:

But they are being replaced by crazier and more off the rails young people, case in point Marjorie Taylor Greene. Given the demographic make-up of the country the republican party may become more niche and may not control the house but will ALWAYS have either some control or control of the senate. Which means their…

Most people don’t pay attention to the details of the crap the RNC puts out. Their lives are on the edge and they feel like they can’t control anything. Its grievance politics then and perpetual victim hood that the RNC provides to the “everyone elses” to provide a reason for why their lives are crap. Its classic…

Its already happened.  The national guard killed David McAtee on June 1st.

Exactly, how many material scientists and engineers reviewed the materials? This is like saying a Biochemist reviewed black hole data and determined that hawking radiation doesn’t exist.

Why is everyone assuming he is doing this out of the kindness of his heart. If he cooperates he will either have to testify and face cross-examination. The defense would make this all about Christian Cooper, he already admitted to threatening her dog on twitter. They will look through his past to find all the…

Can you spot the person unable to look at this objectively and probably didn’t even read the entire Christian Cooper story? Hint, its you.

I don’t want to say its made up to get around qualified immunity for the cops, but that’s what it seems to be if you ask me.  Since this is all on the civil side they don’t have to actually prove this conspiracy beyond a shadow of a doubt.  So like you said, by suggesting this they open the city up to civil damages…

While I am inclined to believe this, I am also skeptical. This would plot requires lying to a judge to obtain a warrant. It would implicate the city as well as the police in perjury and open them up to at the minimum negligent homicide charges. The risks (to the city/police) associated with implementing no-knock…
