Every time I hear about people suggesting secession I'm reminded of the French aristocracy wanting to just before the French Revolution. Not sure how they thought they could physically secede and it didn't work out very well for them in the end as they were disposed of in other ways.

Every time? No exceptions?

the vienna secession worked out pretty well

(didn't realise the thumbnail would be so graphic, sorry)

Conspiracy theorists have pointed to a number of recent deaths of Russian diplomats in the past four months.

Aren't we past the 'theorist' stage yet?

Oronov died aged 69 after spending three months at a specialist terminal cancer hospital in the US. His family gave a statement to the press iirc. He was neither Russian, nor a diplomat.

But...what if he was? Gotcha.

Milkwalker's World (Old Lunch), Tuesday, 14 March 2017 13:25 (seven years ago) link

j/k, you are a good and necessary voice of temperance ITT, ShariVari.

Milkwalker's World (Old Lunch), Tuesday, 14 March 2017 13:26 (seven years ago) link

Cue Someone to point out that old people die frequently and suddenly and skepticism is warranted in these situations. Xpost lolol lol lol you are here.

Doesn't the article call him a Ukrainian businessman? Nobody called him a Russian diplomat. Anyway, people connected to Trump and Russia and or Ukraine dying of natural causes all over the place.

they were all on the grassy knoll

What's the conspiracy theory here - Cohen's brother's father-in-law knows the Ukrainian MP who suggested a peace plan to Cohen and, despite Ukraine, Russia and the US all rejecting the proposal, the MP denying he gave it to Cohen and Cohen denying he passed anything on to Trump, Oronov needed to be silenced - by giving him terminal cancer months ago?

Wag1 Shree Rajneesh (ShariVari), Tuesday, 14 March 2017 13:47 (seven years ago) link

There are a LOT of people connected to Trump and Russia and or Ukraine ;)

Frederik B, Tuesday, 14 March 2017 13:48 (seven years ago) link

Ukraine, Ikraine, we all kraine.

And tbf Russian men have a really low life expectancy. Because of all the cigarettes and vodka and political assassinations.

For more than 80 years now, we—the residents of what some people like to call Blue America, but which I prefer to think of as the United States of We Pay Our Own Damn Way—have shelled out far more in federal tax monies than we took in. We have funded massive infrastructure projects in your rural counties, subsidized your schools and your power plants and your nursing homes, sent you entire industries, and simultaneously absorbed the most destitute, unskilled, and oppressed portions of your populations, white and black alike.

that bluexit article is fucking vile and tremendously stupid, that person should be beaten.

blonde redheads have more fun (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Tuesday, 14 March 2017 14:36 (seven years ago) link

yeah here's the thing the schools are still not doing great, nor are the nursing homes

also agriculture wasn't "sent" anywhere unless you're using an insanely long historical view

mh 😏, Tuesday, 14 March 2017 14:39 (seven years ago) link

So, Trump makes bombshell BS claim that Obama tapped his phones. Doubles down and demands an investigation. Congress calls him on his bluff, and requests​ any proof related to the wiretap, if it exists. Justice department responds by ... requesting a delay. How weird is that?

Josh in Chicago, Tuesday, 14 March 2017 14:43 (seven years ago) link

it's not weird if you've grown up with money and never had a boss besides daddy. from that perspective, consequences are literally unthinkable

reggie (qualmsley), Tuesday, 14 March 2017 14:49 (seven years ago) link

what i still can't get over is how weird it was that james comey made so much noise about hillary nine days before the election, even while michael flynn was a paid turkish lobbyist and roger stone was tweeting guccifer, among 911 other impossible to imagine even five years ago shenanigans that were going down

reggie (qualmsley), Tuesday, 14 March 2017 14:54 (seven years ago) link

yeah "weird"

El Tomboto, Tuesday, 14 March 2017 14:56 (seven years ago) link

james comey trying to get into that "history's greatest monster" competition

mh 😏, Tuesday, 14 March 2017 14:57 (seven years ago) link

IMHO Comey is behind all the deaths you listed - he lined up Oronov as the fall guy for the doomed "peace plan" because he already knew his prognosis - and ShariVari is a CI, too
I have a newsletter

El Tomboto, Tuesday, 14 March 2017 14:58 (seven years ago) link

911 probably not the best random number to use there, lol

qualmsleys posts are an inside job

Been a lot of great pseudonyms in politics lately. Wayne Tracker, John Barron, Carlos Danger ...

Josh in Chicago, Tuesday, 14 March 2017 15:14 (seven years ago) link

guccifer also p good imo, not endorsing etc

mark s, Tuesday, 14 March 2017 15:22 (seven years ago) link

was thinking about that last night, couldn't really come up w a way to stop it tbh. reverse it once he's out of office, maybe, but ugh.

i) whether some or all of the functions of an agency, a component, or a program are appropriate for the Federal Government or would be better left to State or local governments or to the private sector through free enterprise;

Goodbye SNAP and WIC.

Lauren Schumer Donor (Phil D.), Tuesday, 14 March 2017 15:37 (seven years ago) link

wow, i hadn't heard of the EO until now. how is this not headline news? or is just that new?

Karl Malone, Tuesday, 14 March 2017 15:53 (seven years ago) link

it's such a fine feeling to be on the leading edge of terrible news

Karl Malone, Tuesday, 14 March 2017 15:54 (seven years ago) link

I saw it last night and it was issued yesterday - since its immediate effects aren't entirely clear it's probably getting buried. Obviously has the potential for a lot of bad shit. I'm not entirely clear on how Congress figures into that. I mean if they fund a program in the budget, the President can't unilaterally say that a department won't implement it.

Οὖτις, Tuesday, 14 March 2017 15:56 (seven years ago) link

In developing the proposed plan described in subsection (c) of this section, the Director shall consult with the head of each agency and, consistent with applicable law, with persons or entities outside the Federal Government with relevant expertise in organizational structure and management.

let me go ahead and fix that

In developing the proposed plan described in subsection (c) of this section, the Director shall consult with the head of each agency, but mostly with people from the Heritage Foundation, ALEC, and whoever is on tv that night

Karl Malone, Tuesday, 14 March 2017 15:57 (seven years ago) link

I'm not entirely clear on how Congress figures into that. I mean if they fund a program in the budget, the President can't unilaterally say that a department won't implement it.

it does say that "The proposed plan shall include recommendations for any legislation or administrative measures necessary to achieve the proposed reorganization."

but yeah, they can't just shut down an agency without congressional approval.

Karl Malone, Tuesday, 14 March 2017 16:01 (seven years ago) link

dems should be making hay of this even on apolitical "doesn't this sound like hell" grounds? like imagine you got a new boss at work and he requires everybody to stop what they're doing for weeks and explain why, yes, it's necessary to do cook the burgers the way you've been doing, and enumerate alternative means of cooking and flipping them and explain why each would not be preferable to the currents system and then you have to have a series of meetings with his dumbshit business school friends who've all skimmed a few issues of food, beverage and hospitality biweekly and have bold new ideas on the burger-flipping method trends that are going to revolutionize the industry and AUGHHHHHHH and actually underneath all this is his desire to see you fail completely at burger-flipping so he can fire the entire department and turn the whole place into a room full of malfunctioning vending machines - "we're really going to save on food cost around here!"

sorry, got lost in a bad flashback of the one self-styled 'chef' at my second holiday inn job who took me aside in the dry storage room to lay out his vision for retooling the restaurant into a high-concept destination burger joint, tentatively titled (now, i'm asking everybody for their feedback on this) ... Buns.
