Also, Trump said something about a lot of people with machine guns he waved at who didn't wave back.
Plus of course he was meeting with generals that look better than Tom Cruise and called OPEC to lower the oil prices.

In other news, looks like Pelosi is going to make good on re-establishing PayGo rules in the House.

Because you know, if voters didn't award you for making good faith efforts to appease disingenuous Republican attacks the first go round, why not hamstring yourself the next time and hope the results are different?

I know it doesn't really matter right now with the Senate, but really, why?

From my experience, and you can see this in some of hungrynoobs stuff, they exist in a state of Schrodinger's Conspiracy Theory where they both do and refuse to admit to believing any specific detail at any one time. Things wrong often actually become true "in the bigger picture" that has yet to be revealed. Etc.

I'd actually be interested in what kind of triage system the federal government has for reaching that point. I bet there actually isn't one and it's all hypothetical. I know the current thing where certain things are shutdown but other things are not is borderline arbitrary because it's never the same stuff each shutdown. I'll go search now rather than babbling like normal since I'm sure it's been written about in detail.

The latest is that Trump told Schumer he'd look 'foolish' if he reopened the government so he won't unless he gets $5.6 billion for the wall.
He also dismissed Pence and Kushner's $2.5 billion compromise saying he wants the full $5.6 billion or otherwise the government remains closed for he doesn't know how long.

So you don't have to worry that the government suddenly reopens while you research this.

Oh I forgot about Mitch. He won't pass any bills unless the President endorses and he opposes so.

ash.—What if a meteor were hurtling toward the Earth, about to kill millions and reshape life on the planet as we know it?

And what if the president, instead of doing anything to help, made it worse in just about every way, and called it a hoax (and any solutions a scam) instead of the very real, very clear disaster taking shape?

And what if all the Democrats running to beat him in the next election went on and on about how concerned they were and how it’s our most pressing problem—but none had ever done much more than talk about the problem, and for the most part only started doing that in just the past few years?

That’s where Jay Inslee thinks America is when it comes to climate change. And that’s why he’s going to run for president.

Trump throwing Sheriff Joe overboard

Quote from: https://www.politico.com/story/2019/01/02/sheriff-arpaio-pardon-1078243

The Justice Department has decided not to ask the Supreme Court to block the appointment of a special prosecutor to fight former Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio’s effort to erase the guilty verdict a judge returned against him on contempt of court charges last year.

However, a lawyer for Arpaio said Wednesday night that the ex-sheriff’s legal team is planning a new entreaty of its own to the high court, despite the Trump administration’s decision not to pursue the issue of judges’ authority to name special counsels without an explicit blessing from Congress.

President Donald Trump pardoned Arpaio as he was awaiting sentencing, a few weeks after the verdict that the longtime immigration hard-liner defied a court order in a suit involving profiling of Latinos.

The pardon appears to have wiped out any chance the 86-year-old will go to prison or face a fine in connection with the contempt charge, but Arpaio’s lawyers have persisted in a demand that the guilty verdict also be formally set aside.

U.S. District Court Judge Susan Bolton rebuffed that request, holding that the pardon excused Arpaio only from the consequences of his defiance of a court order in a case over racial profiling of Latinos, but did not amount to a basis for wiping out all the rulings in the contempt fight, such as the ex-sheriff’s conviction.

The decision announced Wednesday not to take the contempt case to the Supreme Court, at least for now, stems from the Justice Department’s refusal to defend Bolton’s decision when Arpaio appealed. Over the government’s objections, a panel of the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled, 2-1, in April to appoint a special prosecutor to argue that Bolton’s decision was correct.

The move to authorize a special prosecutor was opposed by several 9th Circuit judges. Judge Richard Tallman dissented from the panel’s decision. Then, an unnamed 9th Circuit judge called for the issue to be reconsidered by a larger, 11-judge en banc court. The Western appeals court’s judges ultimately voted against that, but a total of five active or senior judges recorded their disapproval of the special prosecutor appointment.

In an opinion released last October, Judge Consuelo Callahan led the charge against the move, painting the court’s action as constitutionally suspect and unnecessary. She said the court should simply have let outside lawyers already authorized to act as friends of the court defend Bolton’s ruling without having anyone formally step into the prosecutor’s shoes.

“The majority's conflation of the routine appointment of amici with the extraordinary act of appointing a special prosecutor not only violates the separation of powers, but is also sloppy, creates bad law, and invites reversal by the Supreme Court,” Callahan warned.

Zombie Gerald Ford says "acceptance of a pardon is acceptance of guilt!"

I wonder if he was buried with that legal decision.
