"Could"

Goddamn it I'm sick and tired of these articles pussyfooting around the issue.

Better stock up now.

You mean there's no chance that Wal-Mart might choose to absorb the increased prices out of the goodness of their hearts? :o

I like that this follows the age old tradition in VFX of "keep it far away, in the dark, and out of focus" to achieve maximum realism. :D You're learning from the experts, friend.

I'm not saying you're wrong, per se. In theory it is good to keep that distance between the executive and the prosecutorial decisions. But I hold that view in the same way that I hold the view that war is bad. Sometimes it is necessary when you're given no other choice. Not to belabor the point, but this man is a danger not only to marginalized groups, but to American society and the world at large. The constitution imbues the presidency with the authority and power to take action and if this wasn't the time to use the power afforded to it, then I don't know man...

When the chief executive steps in to direct prosecution, it has a strong tendency to become political and lead away from democracy.

Seems like the same happens when we cling to that norm too closely, as well.

The chief executive of the US has been a Democrat for 4 years, and it was absolutely their responsibility to prosecute (or ensure prosecution happens to) anyone that broke the law, or to at least protect the country. The norm has been for Presidents to maintain a firewall between themselves and prosecutorial decisions, but that's not constitutionally mandated as far as I can tell.

You're supposed to in the US, yes.

He owes a billion dollars. Infowars isn't worth near that much. Even after the sell, he'll continue oweing hundreds of millions of dollars until the day he dies.

I figured it had to do with the sale of the @realAlexJones twitter handle that was being disputed. I cant remember if that had been settled or not, but I know he was trying to keep it, and the opposing side said it was a business account and should be turned over.

I can see it. Trump seems very susceptible to flattery. Slob his knob enough and be the last person he talked to, you could definitely get funding.

I'd imagine a certain percentage just want to do it as punishment. If they have to suffer and feel hopeless, everyone else can too. My guess is the biggest percentage, though, just have no idea what is going on and what any of this means.

I think this is meme-ing on some twitter thing from today.

Yup.

Thanks, Silas!

I'm sorry, but your premise is flawed. The actual fact is that they are not fun at parties.

Fair. But I think the reason behind that feeling is different between the two of you. One is internal, the other is systemic. Though I guess if you were to ask her, she'd say the same thing in reverse.

Our voices didn't matter. It didn't matter how we voted.

My suspicion is that she feels that way because she lost. A wild guess, but I think she's so selfish that she can't imagine other people's voice/desires mattering as much as her own personal wishes; their votes shouldn't count like her's does.
