The Politics Thread

So why did her story change from "My husband ****ed it" to "The letting agent ****ed it"?

Especially odd given we were told, endlessly, that she was so detail-focused from an early age that she did the family finances at the kitchen table when she was eight years old?

Cause the husband dealt with the agents? She may be a little busy to deal with the family finances these days?

Putting aside for one minute the total fabrication and falsehood of these statements, the irony is just off the scale...

As most people now accept, Tolkien used The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings as metaphors for the rise of Fascism in the '30's. Musk and his ilk would likely be working for Saruman in Mordor!

 

God knows how many times? Zero. It's happened no times. None.
Rather dry mouth you've got there, Elon. How's the ketamine?

Remember when the RMT went on strike in '22/23 to prevent the then Tory Gov removing guards from trains and were pilloried for doing so?.....

 

I find it a tad sinister the newspaper front pages calling the guard "Sam"

Why don't they want to say Samir? It's the bloke's name, FFS

 

Today in the Supreme Court...

Trump Solicitor General John Sauer conferred emergency climate change authority on a future president as he argued at the Supreme Court on Wednesday, drawing laughter when he invoked President Donald Trump’s claim that it’s a “hoax,” and Justice Neil Gorsuch dropped a quick rejoinder.

The Supreme Court heard oral arguments on Wednesday in a case challenging Trump’s authority to impose sweeping tariffs based on the invocation of emergency powers.

The arguments were carried live by CNN’s The Situation Room, during which a skeptical Gorsuch used climate change to illustrate the extremes of Sauer’s argument:

JUSTICE NEIL GORSUCH: What’s the reason to accept the notion that Congress can hand off the power to declare war to the president?

SOLICITOR GENERAL D. JOHN SAUER: We don’t contend that again.

JUSTICE NEIL GORSUCH: You do, you say it’s unreviewable, there’s no manageable standard, nothing to be done. Tell me if I’m wrong, you backed off that position.

SOLICITOR GENERAL D. JOHN SAUER: Maybe that’s fair to say.

JUSTICE NEIL GORSUCH: Okay, alright. Thank you.

(LAUGHTER)

SOLICITOR GENERAL D. JOHN SAUER: That would be, I think, an abdication. That would really be an abdication, not a delegation.

JUSTICE NEIL GORSUCH: I’m delighted to hear that you know.

(LAUGHTER).

All right and. I want to return to something Justice Sotomayor asked under this statute okay. So now we’re in this statute. It’s a major question though.

Could the president impose a 50 percent tariff on gas-powered cars and auto parts to deal with the unusual and extraordinary threat from abroad of climate change?

SOLICITOR GENERAL D. JOHN SAUER: It’s very likely that that could be done.

JUSTICE NEIL GORSUCH: I think that has to be the logic of your view.

SOLICITOR GENERAL D. JOHN SAUER: Yeah, in other words, obviously this administration would say that’s a hoax, it’s not a real crisis, but…

JUSTICE NEIL GORSUCH: I’m sure you would!

(LAUGHTER).
