The text of the new AHCA hasn't been released, many Republicans appear not to have read it, and there's no CBO score. Pregnancy and sexual assault get labelled pre-existing conditions, which are no longer covered. It's a disaster.

A simple majority having complete control of the Senate would probably be a bad thing, on average. Any fig leaf of bipartisanship would die and politics would be open warfare. Not to mention all the bad laws that would pass.

I haven't seen the left wing backlash, but I did read some excerpts of the Washington Post op-ed that was angry that Jimmy Kimmel expected people to care about sick babies.

In international news, President Maduro of Venezuela has announced plans to convene an assembly to rewrite the Constitution. Maduro is wildly unpopular, and has used biased court decisions to block recall efforts and hamstring the opposition controlled legislature. Several Latin American heads of state have already…

People want her to apologize for losing, for some reason.

It's also notable that he is openly holding government hostage.

Trump is angling to use a shutdown to get rid of the filibuster altogether, so the republicans could theoretically pass whatever they wanted without worrying about Democrats. Given how the ACA repeal is going, this is a dumb idea, that would 100% backfire immediately, but an idea being bad hasn't stopped Trump before.

Also, Trump called Jackson a "swashbuckler" so maybe he thinks he was a pirate?

Trump will talk with Kim Jong Un, but only through two cans connected by a piece of string.

So, that means the position on direct talks with North Korea has changed three times within a week.

Lincoln did not personally lynch any Confederates, so I guess Jackson would've handled it differently.

Michelle Obama broke into their homes and forced them to eat wheat bread and broccoli at gunpoint!

Jacksons rage could not be soothed by the grave!

"How dank is this meme?"
" I don't know, I'm tired, can I go to bed? "

Trump is asking South Korea to pay for the planned billion dollar THAAD missile defense system. THAAD was already controversial in South Korea, with several protests against before it had a billion dollar price tag. One of the main strikes against it was that China was upset, and South Korea is pursuing closer tied to…

"Fun" fact about Dutertre: he once compared his campaign against drug dealers/users to Hitler's attempted extermination of the Jews.

If he's serious, and this isn't some Silicon Valley branding thing, I'd expect a book outlining his political beliefs by 2018.

Trumps massive and undisclosed conflicts of interest are bad; a politician that also owns one of the biggest media companies around would be even worse. I guess you wouldn't need to worry about right-wing relatives filling your feed with Breitbart links anymore.

Yeah, there's definitely a double standard, but I think it's more to do with racism than anything. Critics tried to cast her as a dangerous radical, when she was just less Stepford-y than previous first ladies.

I do customer service for, among other magazines, Variety. When Chelsea got a 'Power of Women' award, we got swamped with anti-Clinton emails for two days straight. Some of them, it was obvious has never read the magazine before.
