Daily-ish drivel on US politics. Texas Realtor. GOP. Father to five British subjects.

@jbarro The riches are in the niches

really unfair that you have to work and society doesn’t just want to support your lifestyle and unmonetizable interests

@matthewschee9 @Todus24 @Jared_Poland @UrbanAchievr @GovRonDeSantis Garland is not an independent director but Bidens employee, tasked with carrying out Bidens vision. Biden is responsible.

So says SCOTUS.

@FizixLover @Todus24 @Jared_Poland @UrbanAchievr @GovRonDeSantis Seila v CFPB.

The buck stops with the president.

[Right of Left @RightOfLeft_TX]

@KampTed @Jared_Poland @UrbanAchievr Bottom line, if Garland screws up, Biden needs to take responsibility for the problem and ownership, and can't just throw his hands up and say "what am I to do?"

[Right of Left @RightOfLeft_TX]

@KampTed @Jared_Poland @UrbanAchievr And finally, as a practical matter, the executive MUST be responsible for DOJ.

Otherwise who is? Not congress. No SCOTUS. It's the executive branch and the president is their only string to democratic accountability.

[Right of Left @RightOfLeft_TX]

@KampTed @Jared_Poland @UrbanAchievr Yes....the removal authority....which the courts have identified as the crux of whether an agency is independent or not.

If I can fire you, you work for me. If I can't, you're independent.

[Right of Left @RightOfLeft_TX]

@KampTed @Jared_Poland @UrbanAchievr I'm not questioning his actions or saying he shouldn't have done what he did.

I'm saying

A) he'd better have an airtight reason, and

B) Biden is responsible for the actions of the AG, which is why he needs to dot Ts and cross Is

@JesseStavis @Paulmd199 @DecisionDeskHQ Decision Desk just needs to start posting this immediately after every one of these tweets.

It's the same conversation every time.

@SeIpsa @DecisionDeskHQ Well you can say whatever you like.

This is how they classify races.

@FizixLover @Todus24 @Jared_Poland @UrbanAchievr @GovRonDeSantis Seila v CFPB.

The buck stops with the president.

[Right of Left @RightOfLeft_TX]

@KampTed @Jared_Poland @UrbanAchievr That's news to me.

Why do you think we do the whole special prosecutor thing?

To achieve independence from the Presidentially controlled AG.

@DanBlass1 @baseballcrank It's a probability, not a poll.

The polls are R +0.3.

[Right of Left @RightOfLeft_TX]

@baseballcrank I'd guess they did analysis on how many races fell within certain brackets and found it's rare for races to be in 40-60 range and went with 35-65 to be more representative of close races.

But maybe @EsotericCD knows more.

[Right of Left @RightOfLeft_TX]

@baseballcrank I can see folks picking different standards.

I can't see it being so meaningful as to quibble about 60 vs 65 in a probabilistic forecast.

@Coral12271 @Matt_Medina388 @ellencarmichael Me: "are they more conservative than the alternative? Have they not don't anything horrific like sexual assault or reality TV? Then they have my vote".

Pretty simple

[Right of Left @RightOfLeft_TX]

@Coral12271 @Matt_Medina388 @ellencarmichael This is the attitude of someone who doesn't want to win.

You need 51% of America, wackos.

@notecstatictob1 @ellencarmichael Lib: someone who thinks they'll negotiate with the bully over lunch money

Neocon: someone who becomes the biggest, baddest kid in the yard so nobody messes with them.

[Right of Left @RightOfLeft_TX]

@notecstatictob1 @ellencarmichael No neocons?

What are you, a lib?
