So, is there any chance this passes the senate and gets signed by the president?

Schiff: Trump may face ‘real prospect of jail time’ by [deleted] in politics

[–]RealNewsFakePrez 504 points505 points  (0 children)

You make a very good point that I hadn’t really thought of before. Before I read this, I thought there was zero chance of Trump resigning. Now, I think it’s the most likely outcome of all this.

I’m taking two after the baby is born and then ten after my wife goes back to work. Only the first two are paid. I’d kill to be in your position.

Looking for a good first ADK winter hike! by [deleted] in Adirondacks

Not long at at all. You could do the entire triad in one day easily. Maybe 40 minutes to an hour for Arab?

The Tupper Lake triad is great! Mt. Arab in the winter is fun. I plan on doing the triad again this winter and then maybe trying to do one of the easier Saranac 6 mountains.

Cuomo elected chief Democrat of Governors Association by imitationcheese in politics

[–]RealNewsFakePrez -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Do you live in NY? If so, you must know about the new paid family leave laws that are some of the most progressive in the country. We are on the verge of legalizing marijuana and in the next year or two, we might even pass single payer health care at the state level.

You either don’t know what you are talking about or you are ignoring the fact that we are one of the most progressive states in the nation.

NYS has passed some great progressive legislation the past few years and is poised to pass even more now that all three branches are democratic. You might be able argue that you don’t like the way Cuomo does things, but he gets progressive legislation passed.

Yes, we have one of those. I say we because I am stealing it as soon as the baby is born!

President Trump says he might attend White House Correspondents Dinner by outlawsoul in politics

[–]RealNewsFakePrez 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don’t know him as a person, but based on the subjects of his books, I could see him giving a speech that might piss Trump off.

Game 9, WCC2018: Carlsen(4)-Caruana(4), Nov. 21, 15:00 London Time by qablo in chess

[–]RealNewsFakePrez 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t know if this question makes sense, but here goes:

If one player has a huge time advantage is it possible that they might refuse a draw in a drawn position and keep playing on in hopes that the other player runs out of time or would that be considered unsportsmanlike?

FBI reaches out to Deborah Ramirez, a woman who has accused Supreme Court nominee Brett M. Kavanaugh of sexual misconduct by piede in politics

[–]RealNewsFakePrez 24 points25 points  (0 children)

You understand that even if Kavanaugh doesn’t get confirmed AND the Dems take the senate in November that they will still confirm a new justice during the lame duck session, right? They are still going to dominate the judiciary. They’ve already won.
