US Politics, October 2019 — I guess statement you could say with thread. I made a thread. The thread was PERFECT.

Everybody betrayed me, I fed up with this world xxp

Even though it was directed at a particular couple, I assume he was more generally expressing his contempt toward people regarding one another with warmth and affection.

Which buttresses my theory that Melania will wind up being the one to finally drive a steak knife into his neck.

Good morning!

President Trump played Prince’s “Purple Rain” tonight at a campaign event in Minneapolis despite confirming a year ago that the campaign would not use Prince’s music. The Prince Estate will never give permission to President Trump to use Prince’s songs. pic.twitter.com/FuMUPzSWOe

Do we know if Jacob Frey got the campaign to pay up for security etc before the event?

no

he didn't get them to pay
but grandstanding over 500k is perfect for our North Loop Justin Trudeau

Those two shady Trump chumps, they had a company called Fraud Guarantee, but they also had a beach club called Mafia Rave!!!!

yeah this is way too on-the-nose, the writing has gotten pretty lazy this season

he got some epic viral clapbacks against drumpf out of the bargain xxp

Outside the Target Center, Trump protesters clashed with Trump supporters, their shouting and cursing escalating as the president took the stage. Many said the longtime Democratic state suddenly felt like a battleground, and strangers approached each other to pick fights.

“Tell me why you like him,” one man yelled at a nearby Trump supporter.

Criticized by another protester for the president’s white supremacist undertones, the Trump supporter replied, “I could have 100 black people with me if I wanted to.”

Cameron Russell, 26, of Minneapolis, a donor support technician who is black, voiced his skepticism: “Yo, man — pull them up. Call them up.”

Then Mr. Russell recognized the Trump supporter, who is white, as a high school classmate.

“I thought you were cool,” Mr. Russell said to him.

lolz

so now this taxes thing gets kicked up to the supreme court?

should be fun

FRAUD GUARANTEE

This is too stupid.

so now this taxes thing gets kicked up to the supreme court?

yup. should only take 6 months to a year lol

Time for Kavanaugh and friends to earn their keep

it's obvious that Trump's ultimate legal/political "strategy" is the expectation that "his guys" on the Supreme Court will, in the end, bail him out.

(I don't think they will, tbh)

it would cement the court's reputation in the public mind as a partisan body, and it would also be surrendering a remarkable amount of power to the executive branch. but we'll see!

I agree. They don't want to be tied to Trump any more than they already are. Nothing he can do to them now. Thay can make themselves look noble by going against him and acting in the name of institutional legitimacy.

tbh they might - Kavanaugh especially - but Roberts is more inclined to take the long view of the court's perogatives and standing

I think I remember reading that there's scotus precedent for fast tracking these appeals regarding conflicts btw the branches? That in fact they might address it in short order?

Mafia Rave looks pretty chill: https://www.instagram.com/mafiaraveterrace/

I don't know this place called Mafia Rave. Now, it's possible that there's a photo of me at Mafia Rave, but there are photos of me everywhere, I go to a lot of places, and maybe I've been to Mafia Rave, we'll see.

there is a precedent, but I think it's up to the court and their schedule.

No Atmosphere And Expensive
A quiet place with zero pazzaz and expensive 400 UAH chairs at entry and required. Its not on the beach its in the woods 50 yards from the beachfront. Not worth the money, a boring place to spend an afternoon.

Not even a single pazza? Disappointing.

honestly this is such bullshit, there were some shouting matches here and there but the overall scene was peaceful, lots of times it didn't feel any more pitched than wandering around an outdoor concert

Wouldn't be surprised if SC clerks have been assembling legal precedent for months on this. SC will of course rule that examination of tax returns is implied by Article I oversight role and Article II emoluments clause.

it would be shocking if they don't in this particular instance, the WH's legal defense is such blatant horseshit

Will they? I'm not at all convinced that the end game here is for the court to help establish a conservative dictatorship and to hell with constitutional precedent.

*that the end game isn't

I'm not sure John Roberts, the new swing vote (!), can persuade any of the Furious Five to join him in any anti-Trump decision.

can't wait to find out

The incompetence is as breathtaking as the corruption, always.

Back to 1935!

Pretty much. We talk about the insanith of ceding power to the president as if the Senate hasn't already embraced this path.

maybe when the next Dem president levels up w/ this new steroidal immunity-free Exectutive Power she can bribe/extort her way into fulfilling their darkest fantasies, actually taking away their guns and stuff

You'll be cool w/ that, right MItch?

xp would have a hard time not fighting that guy tbh

honestly I think this is the only thing that might give the Roberts' court pause. The Senate knows they can fight their legislative battles essentially one at a time, but the courts work more slowly and are (ostensibly) bound by precedent. If they box themselves into a corner where they have to write very narrow rulings one way for one party and very narrow rulings another way for the other party... I dunno how tenable that is, it will make a total mess of jurisprudence.

yeah depending on my BAC pre-flight i'd be somewhat inclined to talk shit. what the guy going to do? swing at me at an international airport? fucking please. please do.

just read that thread and saw that the brother was asked to leave the flight for perceiving the shirt as a threat. U! S! A!
