“If the president-elect tweets, could that affect people? Yes,” McCarthy said.
No words left.
In a compromise move that made everyone happy House Republicans voted unanimously to have the Office of Congressional Ethics headed by former California Representative Randy “Duke” Cunningham.
“We fixed the problem with the OCE,” Rep. Peter King (R-New York) said. “Now we can move on fulfilling the people’s mandate.”
But if Trump tweets and no one reads it, did it really happen? Likewise, if a trump is locked in a box with a Geiger counter, a vial of poison, a hammer, and a radioactive substance. When the radioactive substance decays, the Geiger detects it and triggers the hammer to release the poison, which subsequently kills Trump. The radioactive decay is a random process, and there is no way to predict when it will happen. Physicists say the atom exists in a state known as a superposition—both decayed and not decayed at the same time.
Until the box is opened, an observer doesn’t know whether Trump has tweeted or not—because Trump’s fate is intrinsically tied to whether or not the atom has decayed and Trump would, as Schrödinger put it, be “living and dead; tweeted or not tweeted”… in equal parts" until it is observed.
You’ve thought this out haven’t you.
You bet. Now we just need a big box.
So my answer to those that have had to spend money on defending yourself from a baseless charge well then try being a poor person of color that “failed to comply” quick enough with a Police Officer’s order, can’t make bail, plus the day charges, and certainly can’t afford a lawyer. And when and if it goes to court the judge throws out the charges but hey you’re free but now your employer fired your ass because you’ve been sitting in jail all these months, and you still have to pay the court costs.
Does this box have to be as long as he is tall, or can we bend him half?
About your cat, Mr. Schrodinger: I have good news and bad news.
A coffin would do nicely, but it’s Trump, so make it a gilded one.
With that little " hatch" … to pour the beetles in —
They really do have the “courage” of their whatever-we-can-get-away-with, don’t they?
“Some really good people have been hurt,” Rep. Peter King (R-NY) recounted later.
Poor babies! King is a loon, and he can go screw.
It died because people got PISSED.
Act Up!
Fight Trump!
best riposte from Wonkette…
Cheeto Donnie saves 8 jobs and keeps them from going to Mexico…
But - but - remember what Trump’s doctor said - that’s why we have the succession.
So eddie munster leaked it. Makes you wonder what kind of stuff they might try to get in the rules that didnt leak.
It “died in a day” because people got on the phone, e-mails, carrier pigeons…and raised BLOODY HELL.
Duh!
I would not consider this “rule” to have died.
In a story entitled Rough start for U.S. Republicans in first day of Trump-era Congress, Reuters included this detail:
“House Republicans were set to clear the decks later for Obamacare repeal by tucking a measure to prevent Democrats from slowing or stopping repeal legislation into a vote on rules governing House procedures.”
I wonder what this rule change is, and I hope this gets further coverage. I have seen no other coverage of this obscure provision, and assume it must have survived amid the outrage over the ethics office controversy. It sounds like some sort of “nuclear” option.
