Drill Baby Drill...the US Politics Thread (Part 2)

It is a perverse ‘half-full/half-empty’ phenomenon. In most incoming administrations, this is a disaster, and it really is a disaster. But it is also a welcome signal of sorts, some elements (presumably GOP Senators) must have put up enough of a wall of resistance to compel this. A week ago we were no longer sure there was any such wall possible.

Where ever it is it is crying out for her to go there and give Dems their Sista Solja moment by publicly peeling a banana and condemning the woke.

2020 election denier who accepted an illegal $25,000 donation from the Trump Foundation when she was acting Florida AG, and there were 22 separate allegations of fraud and misuse of funds by said organization. Has worked as a lobbyist since her time as FL AG.

Only the best people!

Since he met with GOP Senators just before withdrawing it feels like he was told to withdraw or they would leak the House report.

That’s okay, just say a dozen Hail Trumps and present yourself for your ritualistic lynching. You will not be forgiven.

Wish they would just leak it anyway.

I wonder if she’s angling to be the next Tulsi Gabbard.

Convenient for anyone who needs to point out loonies on "the left’ though.

Another fun confirmation hearing in the offing then.

At least by the sounds of it she might have more legal experience than Gaetz did, even if that experience has also largely been in being a failure.

‘Just a week ago Wednesday, Trump was frustrated that he didn’t have an attorney general candidate with the kind of no-holds-barred personality needed to overhaul the Justice Department. As it happened, Trump was flying on his private plane to Washington that day with Gaetz, the ultimate bomb thrower, in tow. As the two got to talking, the president-elect realized the solution to his problem was sitting right in front of him: Gaetz — the loyal, divisive firebrand — was his man for the job.’ lol

It would have been hard to have had less tbf.

That’s actually quite revealing in a way. The prevailing Republican mindset seems to actually be anti-conservative, demanding that institutions serve them and their political goals, instead of the country at large and actual principles.

Really? I would have thought that he’s going to have a lot of legal experience defending himself against those allegations.

He would have had , a while back in Florida , but Daddy took care of that.

The upcoming ones though…

Regardless of him, I think the most important thing I can do now for personal growth is… Learn how to trade VIX options.
