Morning Thread (10-13-2015)
The Democrats take the debate stage tonight (some requiring significant assistance).
It should be thrilling to watch committed lefty journos grill their heroes the way they do the GOP candida ... Oh. Yeah. Not so much.Comments

Rallying around three principles of action, the group proposed laws to close background check loopholes, expand background databases, and crack down on illegal gun sales.
All of which we already have. What they want is to eliminate sales between individuals which the gun control act does not require. And this has been shown to be a big loser for Democrats except in hard blue States like NY and CA.

Then picked up at least one, maybe two more last night.
#263 was a victim of a previous non-fatal shooting, due to her status as a known drug dealer, with handgun violations of her own.
#264 died holding a handgun, when he was shot in the head multiple times.
Lots of head shots cropping up in the Baltimore reports.
And the Fatal/Non-fatal ratio is way off from Chicago, where you stand about an 82% chance of surviving a shooting.
Here, its about 66%..

The recommendation always seems to be to join at the local level, where you can REALLY make a difference!
Except, if your local level is controlled by Gope, as most of them are, they aren't going to listen to you anyway. If it's not, then they don't need you, unless you like making cold calls and stuffing envelopes.

In a lot of places they don't build like you may think.
No minarets or domes and stuff. Sure you can find those but most of the time they're using regular buildings.
They particularly like to take over old churches.
And they don't advertise outside the building who/what's going on.

What kind of agreement? To vote for the 68th time to repeal Obamacare? Every time they have voted to repeal Obamacare it has passed. And then the bill sat in the Senate.
And even if it were to pass the Senate, Barky would just laugh when it got to his desk..
Ryan would be an idiot to take that job.. the insane part of his caucus thinks passing the same stupid repeals of Barky's shit can actually really really work this time if you are really mean about it..
And, apparently, a lot of the folks around here believe that as well.

All Moonbeam's act does is put a veneer of respectability (by Democrat standards) on what has been happening in California for decades. Illegals have had no trouble casting votes there before, and will have less trouble now.
Anyone who has voted in the "blue"/liberal areas of the state knows this. I saw plenty of people who wore made-in-Mexico clothes and spoke only Spanish in the voting booths when I voted there, and have no doubt illegal Asians did likewise in the areas where they have settled. It ain't rocket surgery.
Posted by: MrScribbler at October 13, 2015 07:39 AM (eUxuB)
Those were show votes because they knew nothing would happen in the Senate or could happen in the Senate.
Notice how there haven't been any repeal of Obamacare since the majority in the Senate is GOPe? They're even afraid to do it with those squishes in there because they are afraid it might happen.

==============================
So here is where we part company. "Reality" in this instance is just your advocacy of not changing how the House operates, a process Pelosi put in place and the GOP continues to use. The government is so big now that "regular order" has come to mean omnibus budget bills, when the Constitutional power of the House is embedded in individual Department budgets.
The House needs to begin focusing on each Department. Let the committee involved develop a bill and pass it, under the general guidance of Ways and Means. Make the House do it's fucking job.
Sure- its going to be a huge work load. But that's because the government has grown too large, and the process will make that obvious even to the big-government uniparty.

You may hate it, but that's what they've done.
I have to admire -- very grudgingly -- their methodology. Bitch McConnell, who controls a majority in the Senate nowadays, blames it on Hairy Reid, and Boner blames recalcitrant Democrats. Republican "leadership" games things nicely so one True Conservative who opposes Choom Boy is highlighted after each vote, while they still hand the Democrats what they want.
Who was running both houses of Congress when TPA and TPP zipped through? Who when the Nukes-For-Iran legislation skated by. Pro Tip: it wasn't the Democrats.

Clinton's server, which handled her personal and State Department correspondence, appeared to allow users to connect openly over the Internet to control it remotely, according to detailed records compiled in 2012. Experts said the Microsoft remote desktop service wasn't intended for such use without additional protective measures, and was the subject of U.S. government and industry warnings at the time over attacks from even low-skilled intruders.
Records show that Clinton additionally operated two more devices on her home network in Chappaqua, New York, that also were directly accessible from the Internet. One contained similar remote-control software that also has suffered from security vulnerabilities, known as Virtual Network Computing, and the other appeared to be configured to run websites.
The new details provide the first clues about how Clinton's computer, running Microsoft's server software, was set up and protected when she used it exclusively over four years as secretary of state for all work messages. Clinton's privately paid technology adviser, Bryan Pagliano, has declined to answer questions about his work from congressional investigators, citing the U.S. Constitution's Fifth Amendment protection against self-incrimination.

The only "solution" -- for those who really want things to change for the better, and aren't just Players at the Game of Politics -- is to replace all national elected beings (can't call 'em "people") with a new bunch. Pick the ones with the best ideas, regardless of party affiliation, and then hold them to what they promise. Don't simply say "ooooh, we elected a Republican!" and let them be lazy, ineffective and susceptible to lobbyists, party pressure, etc.

Nothing except the opposition of the Chamber of Commerce and the GOP's seven-figure donors.
I notice that the GOP has been willing to fight for 1. Changing the Dodd-Frank Law to let Megabanks gamble with derivatives using taxpayer money and 2. Re-authorizing the Ex-Im bank.
Those are the priorities of the donor class.
But they are not willing to fight for stopping illegal immigration/amnesty, defunding planned parenthood, cutting Federal spending, repealing Obamacare, restraining the EPA.
Those are the priorities of the base.

Posted by: Hrothgar at October 13, 2015 08:15 AM (ftVQq)
Just my opinion, it's not that I believe that the Republicans have given Obama everything he wants. It's about having the appearance of a representative government. Broad stroke here, but pretty much every major issue that conservatives have felt strongly about, the Republican leadership has stated that "Nope. Not the hill to die on" and they appear to cave and the Democrats win again. It's about the optics. If they give the appearance that they won't even debate any issue, what are people to think?
Anyhow, once it was decided that majority ruled, we were boned. We are going to bleed to death. The only choice is how quickly we bleed out.
Posted by: Usedtocould at October 13, 2015 08:16 AM (pz+6x)
The Republicans are going to faux placate "the conservative base" and they'll ride that horse until the legs fall off and it will all be bullshit. But a lot of "the base" will buy it for a while and that's all they need.
Most of the so-called conservatives in congress know who butters their bread - they know that the Chamber of Commerce is going to be dumping money on any of them who toe the line and they will do anything to not have the C of C oppose them, and they will do whatever they have to, to get some of that scratch.
Easy money. All they gotta do is play the game (which means continue to screw the country).

Now you're just wrong. The 'nuclear option' was only one tool he used doing what Vic accurately said he did. He 'filled the tree', preventing amendments, he used his scheduling power to concentrate debate on only the bills he wanted, the used reconciliation, he used committee appointments to co-opt Republicans. He did a million things, and adeptly too.
The GOP is just as skillful at the parliamentary process and using Senate rules. If McConnell is so inartful as to not be able to do as well as Hairy Reid, replace the bastard.

There is no way they will allow the tax system that allows them to bribe and cajole individuals, businesses and states into doing their bidding and to punish them if they don't, to be changes.
Just like social security reform, or medicare reform - two other things that MUST be changed to get a handle on the debt, but will never be changed because they are such huge slush funds for politicians.

What is going to happen in Syria, because the time to influence the outcome definitively passed the moment Russia took over, has happened. Anything that Obama does from here on out, is just massaging his ego. (Short of confronting Russia, and... figure the odds.)

Jeb sent his little millennial intern girl to do his dirty work. Team Jeb was also going for a gotcha moment based on pure 100% SJW "war on women" bullshit -- Indignant whining that Trump "doesn't value women" based on her feelz. Then Trump can talk until he's blue in the face, like Romney did, about actual facts, but none of that counts because feelz.

3. Bernie Sanders will begin muttering about deodorant or rape fantasies or Lenin or something.
4. Martin O'Malley is an obviously dumb bumblef*uck whenever he opens his mouth.

I was a rube about horse racing. I'd go to our local track (pacers) maybe once a year, to watch the pretty horsies. I was midlife before I met the system-handicappers and astrologists who made up the actual "horsey set." They were like characters from a Tom Waits song. Classy tracks put a gentlemanly face on some pretty sleazy activity at the top, and some pretty low treatment of the horse-providers at at the bottom. In between, just a bunch of $2 bettors. And so, you learn about life. I was not surprised to see casinos take over the action.
There is a definite Social Conservative aspect to yon Sport of Kings though, Molly and TenBroek and all, and I think it's interesting that Trump, nobody's sentimental sweetheart, has been willing to take quite a loss to keep it up only for its entertainment value. And I wonder how that kind of thinking translates into national policy-making. Of course, on the course, he's only playing with his own money.
Disclosure, my grandfather was an actual horse trader, and my road is named after a once-famous great pacer from these parts.

2. Since you have stumblefucked the middle east into chaos what do you have to say to those people who's lives your feckless policies have ruined?
3. When you started operation Fast and Furious did you have Lanny Davis in mind to use as your designated fall guy - or did you just think you wouldn't get caught?
