I think most would probably say that a conviction is very likely, but I haven't seen anything that makes me think that the probability of a mistrial or something like that is trending down...

You honestly think that the pro-business Democratic party would EVER give up rights to half a trillion dollars worth of minerals?
There's no end to this deal.

Oh yeah. Its not going to be great for the US.
It may take decades, but allied countries may start quietly finding alternate sources for products and services they traditionally bought from the US. They're not stupid.

Ironically, I think that it might end up being better in the end globally if the US loses some of its power and influence if it creates a situation where Europe becomes more strongly united.

I'm not going to judge Zelenskyy for whatever happens. He's been put in a terrible spot.
Barring some drastic changes in the US, there is zero chance that even a Democrat would relinquish a claim to $500B in mineral rights just because its the right thing to do.

No it doesn't,... Trump is just fine with Putin being the one that extracts the resources as long as the US maintains its claim.
Since when is imperialism concerned with "locals getting a piece"?

That's such a weird way to look at those statistics...
"Worst week since inauguration" when it has only been 4 weeks.

So,... Your argument is, that because I think you should refrain from calling for a sexual predator to be put back in power, I'm a "magat troll"?
Is that correct?

This seems very unprecise,... What you really need to look at is skull shape.

There are stories about how much effort they expend to manage him whenever he visits. My understanding is that they curate his experience so he doesn't screw things up.
Its like the Tesla Superchargers. They're great because he's not interested in them.

Yes. They would LOVE to have someone use their service to build an AI based moderating tool.
By throwing "China" and "AI" they're increasing their chances of heavy DOD and Department of State investment.

I'll take that as a yes. You just prefer men in power to also be sexually violent.

I'm aware of what you say the strategy is. You don't have to condescend.
The point is that he WANTS to hurt federal workers and shut down the government. Threatening him with his goal is not that effective.

...So you just PREFER a sex pest to be given executive authority again?
Pick literally anyone else.

Certainly, but it's not as if Trump would be any MORE bound by this law than he is by the constitution, existing laws and existing judicial rulings...
Once the president is ignoring all that, more of the same is just symbolic.

Surely you aren't so stupid that you don't know how sexual harassment charges against extremely powerful men go for the accusers, right?
And furthermore, in your opinion, literally the only person in the entire state of New York "with some steel" is Andrew Fucking Cuomo?
comment in response to

Isn't that just the constitutionally mandated norm?
I'm glad they're making the ask and I think it is strategically correct, but isn't it symbolic?

"Purity testing"?
He fucking sexually assaulted a bunch of women. He's a predator and an unrepentant one.
Give me a fucking break.

Cornyn's #1 skill is letting Ted Cruz absorb absolutely all of the heat.
There is no chance he goes on the record with any controversial opinion.

This is some "at least the trains ran on time shit..."
FFS there are other people in the world. It really isn't that hard to avoid supporting a serial sexual harasser.

I've got an idea... I need a theater company, a script for Our American Cousin and a bunch of people to spread the idea that Liberals hate it when presidents go to the theater...

It also strikes me that scolding people who are engaged and wound up about what's going on isn't particularly helpful.
Maybe try to find a way to direct that energy instead? For the love of god rile people up more.

I wouldn't say that its necessarily untrue, "enough energy" is as fantastical a premise as anything else in science fiction.
Given enough energy, you could probably create another universe for each probabilistic possibility. Its just not a functionally meaningful truth.

"Steve Bannon, Trump’s former adviser, described white South Africans as the 'most racist people on earth'" [derogatory???]
Just to be clear, we're sure he said this like it was a bad thing?

They sampled the entire conference of Silicon Valley big money Democratic donors that Hakeem Jeffries went to visit earlier this month.
They were very confident that the Dems wouldn't do anything to regulate their businesses so they're happy.
