They’re actually in the “goes too far” camp. Kentucky and Texas is “doesn’t go far enough” territory.

Except (at least) 2 of the 3 already were invited to and at the table. They just decided that dinner looked a little sparse without enough of the other white meat.

They only have until I think September to pass their tax cut, so they’ll want to pass this by mid-July at the latest. The tax cut will be easier for them to get the votes on though, so maybe they can do both in August?

McConnell will slather some bacon grease on there for enough of the moderates to swallow and throw a bone here or there for the Ted Cruzes on the far right. You’ve got probably even odds that this thing gets passed 51-50 with Pence being the deciding vote. How it then looks to the House... hard to say. They may be…

What janky place do you live in that doesn’t require nurses to be CPR certified for their license?

I think most of the recent issues (like since 2010 on) have had one or two female athletes posing in them, which could be related back to the “sports” aspect of SI.

While actually splitting the states into separate countries would likely be disastrous, reintroducing federalism would probably be healthy. Trying to act like the US is a single monolithic entity like we do now is idiotic.

Well they expected unrest, they just expected it from those “deplorables” and they’re not really important anyway (except, oh hey they do actually vote!). Their major issue was thinking that people who gave Obama a second chance would give Clinton essentially a third chance. What happened is a lot of people saw…

Her reasons as best as I can tell were first and foremost keep the status quo, make sure Wall Street is making money (and sliding some to her and hers), and maybe push a few pet projects of the fringe left to keep them placated if, you know, there’s time and political capital left over for that.

In the most literal sense it’s likely being written by staffers in McConnell’s office based on discussions with lobbyists and staffers from other Senators’ offices about what each Senator is willing to give on certain key points. No one beyond those staffers and McConnell (maybe) actually knows what’s in the current…

She’s considering running in 2020, so likely someone who thinks she will (and has a chance).

Yes and no. The GA-6 was a special election so a) there was a lot more money to be thrown at it since there weren’t a ton of other possible elections to influence and b) it got a lot more attention nationally which translated to a lot more attention locally as well (people who wouldn’t have gotten engaged in a normal…

She knew why she was running. She was running because she wanted to be the (first woman) president of the United States. She probably even had an idea of what she wanted to accomplish after she (inevitably) won the election. She just never did a good job of articulating any of her goals beyond being the first woman…

And that the market sucks at deciding winners.

The shows will be 3-5 minutes with 3-5 3 minute commercial breaks...

Umm, considering the abysmal voter turnout rate in this country I don’t know that there’s much of a delusion about your vote meaning shit. Most people I know who don’t vote specifically say a) they tend to hate both (major) candidates and b) their vote won’t mean shit anyway. And given where I’ve lived they’re usually…

Coming from the east coast driving all the way across I-40 from Tennessee, the scenery changes along the way totally made the drive worth it. You’re right though, the stretch through New Mexico and Arizona is top notch.

Drove that stretch through VA way more times than you’d ever want to and was suicidal through most of it.

Please do.

It depends how generous you are feeling and how you approach the current and proposed laws.
