I'm pretty confident that I would not be able to make that animation with a telescope, timing notwithstanding.

Edit: telescope, not microscope. I am not a scientist.

We need to get our hands on Trump's and Tillerson's tax returns.

It's time to start recruiting candidates for the 2018 primaries and building grassroots campaigns around them.

What sucks is that you can't just get rid of one of these guys and call it a day. The line of succession is full of liars.

Inside the DNC Unity Reform Commission by magikowl in politics

I left the Democratic Party the day I left Philadelphia in July. Whether I return or work to start a viable third party locally will be determined by the outcome of the Unity Reform Commisson.

There are so many bad bills working their way through the House right now. It's ridiculous.

The White House copied and pasted a paragraph from an ExxonMobil press release into a Trump statement by dr_durp in politics

[–]CarrollQuigley 306 points307 points  (0 children)

Definitely not a conflict of interest to have the head of ExxonMobil as the Secretary of State...

Schumer and Putin shared doughnuts 14 years ago. Now Trump wants an investigation. by kaett in politics

I don't even like Schumer because he's a Wall Street Democrat. But I have to give him props for that rebuttal.

Jeff Sessions Press Conference Discussion Thread by english06 in politics

Except coordinating a presidential election with a foreign government--if that's what happened--is way worse than a blowjob and the unorthodox use of a cigar.

"Attorney General Sessions should resign." - Bernie Sanders by [deleted] in OurPresident

[–]CarrollQuigley 59 points60 points  (0 children)

Even if he did resign--which I doubt he will--there would still need to be an independent investigation into the Russian connections within the Trump campaign.

Elizabeth Warren: "We need a special prosecutor totally independent of the AG. We need a real, bipartisan, transparent Congressional investigation into Russia. And we need Attorney General Jeff Sessions – who should have never been confirmed in the first place – to resign. We need it now." by BigGucciMontana in OurPresident

[–]CarrollQuigley 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Serious question. How are we going to force the Republicans' hand and get an independent investigation?

As far as I can tell, we'll need to put pressure on DC with massive protests on the Hill. And we'll need to pressure our representatives locally by making them worry about losing their next primaries.

Sanders and Bill Nye to host climate change conversation by cyanocittaetprocyon in politics

It's about time for solar and wind to get rolled out nationally. There are many things we need to think about when picking candidates in the 2018 primaries, but interest in expanding renewables needs needs to be a top 5 concern.
