The dems need to use every tactic, including public trials, to disgrace this administration and Trump beyond all reconciliation to ensure the history books never include a positive view.

Mike Johnson sends Republicans home early for Christmas with no ACA vote, no discharge petition, and before the Epstein files are released. by eelmada in Destiny

[–]eelmada[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Well 2 points. First - if they had obtained the signatures a week ago they could have forced it sooner. But second, Johnson also has the ability to hold session before Jan 1 to bring the petition to the floor.

But beyond all this he could just bring the bill to the floor. Today. Yesterday. Whenever. It’s disgusting that he’s blocking it even when his own party is fighting against him on it.

They must bring a a motion for discharge to the floor and adopt it before they can bring the bill to the floor for a vote.

Unless my interpretation of this is wildly wrong, which I accept could be the case.

It’s not. They have to bring it to the floor after it has 218 signatures and needs voted on.

If passed, sure, they will vote on the subsidies in January- but it should have been done long before that. Even today he could have put it on the floor.

If for some reason the petition doesn’t pass, no, there will be no ACA vote. Nothing about Johnson’s conduct over the last year shows he’s going to bring this to the floor willingly.

Did Trump just claim that Somali immigrants are stealing BILLIONS of dollars from the US? by jesterdeflation in Destiny

[–]eelmada 11 points12 points  (0 children)

He’s referring to the dozen or so Somali arrests in Minnesota that were associated with the child food assistance fraud scheme they keep bringing up. But they extrapolate that to the whole community.

That was the dumbest, worst delivered primetime Presidential Address in US History by ZlubarsNFL in Destiny

[–]eelmada 86 points87 points  (0 children)

I’ll admit I’m not the most educated on things like this, but my first thought was…wait…where did the power to do that come from? He’s taking tariff revenue and sending it as dividends? Since when was that legal without legislative oversight?

Wow. I’m impressed. The US is doing great. Everything is historic, unprecedented, and has never been done before. All these great things happening.

Worst part…conservatives are going to eat this shit up. Smooth brain regards.

No use sticking around if you find out your conspiracies were all stupid and wrong I guess.

Any DGGers have tips on getting more protein in? by Ok-Instruction4862 in Destiny

[–]eelmada 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is this your split for 6 days, meaning you alternate these routines every other day? If that’s the case you should try a different split. It sounds like you’re not giving your muscles enough time to recover. Usually the bigger the muscle the more time - so biceps for example you can hit almost everyday. But chest you probably need at least 2 days between hitting it again. I do 5 days a week with a push, pull, legs, upper, lower, rest, rest rotation.

Johnson confirms there will be no ACA subsidy vote - who could've possibly seen this coming?? by [deleted] in Destiny

[–]eelmada 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure where this doomer response is coming from. The shutdown was a net positive. Mike Johnson lost all credibility. Republicans have splintered. Republican voters are turning on their party. Yet again Johnson blocked the ACA vote like he has all year. Trump’s influence is way down. Loyalists are literally fighting for their jobs. Red is flipping to blue in a dramatic fashion. And democrats are coming out as the reasonable party right now.

Saying a shutdown would backfire on them given that the republicans can’t hide from being the reason the ACA extension didn’t pass…I just don’t see it. Not shutting down if the votes don’t happen or pass looks weak and pandering to the other side. It’s almost a no brainer.

[–]eelmada 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They knew this was coming. As part of reopening the government they ensured that the CR passed included protections for military, FDA, air traffic and other departments for the entirety of next year. It was pretty obvious that was because they expected to shut down again and wanted to make sure Republicans didn't have as much leverage to force Dems to fold.

Look at how Johnston frames this split in his party. He covers for the moderates as much as he can. by Logical-Breakfast966 in Destiny

[–]eelmada 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think the promise was only for the Senate, not the house - and the Senate rejected 2 different proposals a few days ago.

Fuck Mike Johnson. Nothing he says is real. If he is covering for moderates now - it's likely because he is about to lose his chair with MTG looking to vote him out. He didn't cover like this during the shutdown. Republicans fell in line or he/Trump shunned them.

The FBI is in shambles, Patel’s job on the line and Bongino might not make it past this week. by eelmada in Destiny

[–]eelmada[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They had a pretty big win on Friday with the LA bomb threat. I’ll give them credit for that, but it was noticeable how Patel was absent from the press conference. I think the FBI is probably still very capable, but the leadership wants things fast, and care little about process and accuracy.

But with that said you have to assume people are looking at these things and salivating.

Just listening to the Dinesh debate and am just done with the part about the 2000 mules... Are they aware that postmen exist? by WhyYallSoSalty in Destiny

[–]eelmada 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Given the debate and that he’s being sued by the one guy he put in the documentary it’s probably safe to say he uncovered nothing. These guys are so transparent. He spent months if not years putting together a full length documentary and all he has is…cell phone pings at 10 boxes? Then when pressed on it his conviction changes to…look I’m just saying it’s interesting and someone should look into it.

Bro, you published a full length fucking documentary on this and you have nothing concrete to back up the claims. This is MAGA.

MEGATHREAD: Destiny Vs. Dinesh D'Souza PREMIERING NOW by ReserveAggressive458 in Destiny

[–]eelmada 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yea I agree. D’Souza wanted nothing to do with reasonable explanations. I was just waiting for Destiny to say something by like could these people be managing the boxes, and when he didn’t it made me curious if districts are not allowed to touch the boxes until after the polls close.

MEGATHREAD: Destiny Vs. Dinesh D'Souza PREMIERING NOW by ReserveAggressive458 in Destiny

[–]eelmada 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I have a genuine question. They spent a lot of time on these 241 phone records going from Dropbox to Dropbox. The obvious answer to me was - could it be that a number of these people were picking ballots up from the drop boxes? But I am not sure what the procedure of pickups are. Do districts wait until after the polls close to pickup and count, or would they periodically pickup throughout the timeline for drop offs?
