The problem with the Mueller testimony is that every congressperson on the committee wants their own 5 minutes to grandstand— when they should do what they did with Watergate and cede their time to counsel. 

Seriously, other than the Comey letter and the leaks, shutting the fuck up is what helped Trump the most in the last weeks of the 2016 race-- laying low and letting marginal voters talk themselves into ignoring his bigotry and insanity not pushing it to the fore. 

We’ll see how much he loves this shit in November of 2020. I get that he’s too dumb to change but his smarter advisers realize that lifting the veil plausible deniability from the GOP’s racism is one of the major factors in the 2018 rout (along with health care).

Given Trump’s fetish for making toadies personally abase themselves I can’t believe he hasn’t demand Bolton shave that shit-- not for spite or even looks but just because he can. 

Ah I see your familiar with the USMCA aka NAFTA 2.0: This time slightly updated

Ask any “Reagan wasn’t a racist” asshole to explain why he launched his 1980 campaign in Philadelphia, MS and you just get a bunch of stammers and attempts to change the subject. 

I kind of want to start answering that question- “Shitty Parenting and weak character” or “being raised by a Klansman and lacking intellectual curiosity”

That this love wasn’t ironic or some shitty excuse to be able to say the N-word is both surprising and kind of charming. 

PP provides trans care- it’s an especially important provider in this area of care in regions outside of major urban centers. 

Wait. So now the almost entirely unified response was embarrassing? Literally is there anything Pelosi could have realistically done that you wouldn’t criticize?

The squad represents deep, deep blue districts, Pelosi is trying to ensure the Dems who represent purple to Red districts can get on board too. 

I’d love to see a poll that shows that- the numbers you’re referring to are nationwide and only among White voters without a college degree. 

Oh and women....like all women (even among white women he struggles to consistently break 50%) 

He also lies about being “the most popular ever with Republicans”- his average among Republicans is generally between 90-95% which is, if anything, actually low for an incumbent President (the lowest among Republicans since Ford). 

I know I shouldn’t but please elaborate on how a poll that’s always demonstrably overstated Trump support actually needs 10 to 15% added to it to show Trump’s true support.

Okay- but doesn’t this data actually support a public option approach— it would allow people who are unhappy with their private plans to shift to a public backstop. 

It’s a mixed bag. Let’s just say that regardless of who was filling the role there were going to be bumps in the road both for good reasons and for reasons related to the culture Richards’ cultivated as well as the acolytes she left behind.

To be fair-- Wen (and other PP CEOs) work at the pleasure of their respective boards and “secret meeting” is her characterization of the meeting.  

This isn’t exactly how that hierarchy works- PPCA and PPACA technically represent the affiliates within the state, not run them— as you said they’re the collective public policy voice for the affiliates themselves— they don’t determine said policy, they voice it. The CEO of PPAC wouldn’t be in charge of the affiliates…

Film pitch: Early 90s Dark Comedy- Epstein, in increasingly desperate fashion tries to get blackmail material on Donald Trump only to be thwarted at every turn by Trump’s idiocy and lack of shame.
