Maybe it’s time though to give air time to actual politicians having a meltdown instead of a pretend politician?

Let’s just all try to remember to see the light from time to time. McConnell still needs 60 votes! He’s not going to get them. But one day, the ACA will fall, either back to the insurance market pre 2010, or to a single payer system. The healthcare debate does not end today. And even if the BCRA passes, with…

Thank you very much! I know “bitpartisianship” is a bad word around these parts most of the time. Elizabeth Warren has been advocating for a bipartisanship committee to discuss and debate for months now and she gets a lot of praise, rightly so, for it. So when a GOP senator does the same thing, at great risk to his…

Are you talking about me defending McConnell? I don’t defend wax turtles.

Thanks! I hope that’s not the idea of the rebrand, but I really like Dodai and I don’t think she’s taking it in that direction.

Seriously, is it ok to buy Aunt Jemima syrup? The butter flavored syrup is so good on my mini waffles. I am very white, but I grew up either using Aunt Jemima syrup or Karo Dark Corn Syrup (what was my mom thinking?!) on my mini waffles and pancakes.

I will definitely concede to your point about debate. As much as I wish this could have been done in committee, it won’t be. I do recognize that! But I think what I’m more hoping for is for Schumer to do his damn job and play procedural chess against McConnell here. It would be pretty advantageous for Schumer to try…

You’re right about this.

He said some words that aren’t “OBAMACARE WILL KILL YOU” which is the essence of what other senators from the GOP stand up and say. So he did something, which was act decently, which in turn was an advocacy to turn Congress’ 11% approval rate around. He’s been doing this for 30 years. When he started, people actually…

So would you have rather them just go down without a fight? Like your kinja name, the GOP simply does suck. But if I was a GOP voter, I’d be PISSED if they just let it die today. They do have voters you know, and they do have to do things to appease their voters, regardless if it fails in the end. McConnell needs to…

Thanks! I try to live up to my namesake and stay actually informed.

:) Thank you for the compliment!

I believe he opened up the floodgates to get his party exposed on how many solutions they don’t have to fix healthcare.

Thank you! You never know these days with the Fusion/Splinter/Whatever It’s Called Today commenters.

I want to offer an alternative explanation, because, as left leaning as I am, this is a bit of a Hot Take™ and you aren’t giving your readers the full scoop here.

I was with you til you said Obama stayed out of the limelight.

Watching this whole administration’s house of cards fall to the ground is satisfying yet not at the same time.

If I was his dem opponent in his next re-election campaign, I would pull this byte and play it over and over again as an attack ad.

We could blame Varys, or we could connect the dots that the Iron Born legion was split in two, between Euron and Yara. You don’t think there are some Iron Born who are pissed they aren’t pillaging? THEY ARE ALL PIRATES, WORD TRAVELS FAST.

Basic conclusion - as much as the world wants all celebrities to know each other, this simply isn’t true.
