So how long before Trump says something horribly offensive because she's pregnant and also called him a draft dodger?

I can't even readily think of what it might be and yet I expect it at this point

12:51 AM

chelsea manning, the outspoken leftist, is secretly a nazi because she went to a nazi party and was outed by other nazis at the same party

Tim Stone

I'm not sure how much that's being asserted by non-crazy people though? It seems to be the common statement of defense but she can have made a bad choice without her "going alt-right"

GodEmperorDune

i trust emily g's take on this in that chelsea (knowing she is forever under constant surveillance) went to the alt right gathering in order to expose them to said surveillance and it didn't quite work as she had planned

Tim Stone

Right, but given the Senate run and whatnot that seems…really dumb? Like I'm totally on board with that being the explanation, but it's hard for me to not see it as really bad judgment

GodEmperorDune

@TimStone when was the NYC event?

Tim Stone

I thought Saturday but I'm not positive

user15026

12:58 AM

Do I think she's secretly a Nazi? No. Do I think she may have made some errors in judgement with whatever she thought she was doing here? Yes, especially in light of her Senate run and such. Like she of all people has to be aware of how much every action counts right now the more you're in public view.

it definitely shouldn't derail the senate run, given that LITERAL ALLEGED PEDOPHILES came extremely close to winning their own senate races but the dems always are much more strict about such things

Tim Stone

1:22 AM

I'm curious how deep of a hole Trump will dig himself with this, because he's sure to keep gloating about how great the economy and businesses are doing, which is true if you only ever associate with people who have money

His base will still love his "showing of the libs", I'm sure, but I suspect they thought they'd get that and a pay day

GodEmperorDune

@TimStone they won't care

they are in it for the racism and/or to be on the "winning team"

if they don't personally benefit, it's because obama really messed the system up so bad that trump couldn't fix it despite his best efforts

Tim Stone

Yeah but that's a reason to just stay Republican, not necessarily to be big on Trump

GodEmperorDune

or the libs/deep state/congress/courts blocked him

you'd think the areas hit hard by the opioid epidemic would be pissed that trump hasn't done anything other than say "drugs are bad, don't do them"

and that his administration are basically going to let the pharma companies off the hook with "who knew that sending millions of pills weekly to a small pharmacy in a county with 400 people was not legit"

Tim Stone

It's not clear to me they won't be. I think they're still assuming he's working on it, but people get tired of waiting. "Only his first year", "he's new" doesn't work as well in the fourth year, unless they're sufficiently happy with his other gains

Which they might be! But we'll see

GodEmperorDune

@TimStone this leads to a different problem

let's say the dems retake house and senate in 2018

do they govern responsibly and deliver "wins" that trump will take credit for? or do they descend to the republicans' level and just block everything until he's out of office?

Tim Stone

1:34 AM

You already know the answer to that, lol

But I'm not sure how Trump would handle signing off on Dem legislation

So hopefully we'll find out!

They ran a corrupt body brokering company, which is a thing that exists and we are all apparently okay with

GodEmperorDune

2:14 AM

so the issue is that of hygiene

Tim Stone

Yes, not that students routinely borrow body parts of the deceased for training

GodEmperorDune

i mean if you die from a communicable disease and want your body used for science, explosives testing is kinda a safe way to do that

@TimStone i understand purchasing but borrowing?

ok practice cutting there and there... great now sew it up so we can send it back

Tim Stone

I suspect that in practice most things are "one use", and the loaning company is responsible for proper disposal after the fact

But I'm not sure and this is a terrifying question

GodEmperorDune

yeah

@GodEmperorDune True! The issue was that people didn't really appreciate that was a thing, apparently, so finding out after the fact was horrifying

Which is rad

Hospitals said the costs of treating uninsured patients in emergency rooms would be more than the taxes imposed")

Okay, that's not too bad if it means more people are covered by medicaid.

Unionhawk

It doesn't expand it any more, it just ensures that they still have money to keep it expanded so they keep getting the federal matching

They did expand to undocumented children effective Jan 1 though which is cool

The judicial and legislative independence of the states is a pretty big deal in the US, and goes all the way back to the framing of the constitution.

MBraedley

It means it's a lot harder to get national programs off the ground. Can't go trampling on states rights after all.

Tim Stone

4:15 PM

@Unionhawk I think @GodEmperorDune was right that special elections draw more outside attention since they don't compete with other events and that can be problematic for many reasons

So it's best to just avoid the potential for a repeat

MBraedley

@Yuuki All special elections, or just special elections that don't happen in November?

Yuuki

> Alabama House votes to end special U.S. Senate elections

Looks like all special elections for US Senate.

Tim Stone

@MBraedley All special elections in the "Elections will only happen in November, on years we regularly have some sort of election" sense

(so even years)

But it would still technically be a "special election" if a senator had been replaced and wasn't up for reelection the next normal cycle

The claim in bringing the change was that setting up facilities for a single race was just too expensive which is probably factually correct, at least

puzzlepiece87

@Unionhawk @Yuuki In my opinion, you're both thinking way too broadly. It seems pretty simple to me: "bad thing" happened, they want to be seen as responding rather than passive.

It's just an optics thing.

The House is the place where it makes more sense to appoint someone because the appointee will serve a maximum of 24 months, so it makes less sense to use some of them doing an election.

But a senator that could potentially be serving 72 months can be appointed?

Very awkward

@TimStone @quartata @Unionhawk That's exactly what I am saying seems broken to me.

The position with the longer timeline should have more democratic input, not the one that is for 24 months at most, a significant portion of which would be consumed by special election.

Tim Stone

I mean the senate has always been more removed from "the people"

The appointment is only for at most 24 months though

Because the election is just shifted to the next November in which there would usually be elections
