“procedural amendment” is a nice euphemism for betraying his party and their progressive values to suck the tit of Big Pharma. Yes, people remember this kind of BS, as they should.

He’s thirsty AF, but no progressive bona fides to speak of. He can go away now.

lolololololololol

I’m not so sure; this is not rhetorical, it’s life and death. Reality has a way of catching up with people regardless of their mental contortions and delusions and denial. When people start to DIE, Kellyanne is not going to be able to talk her way out of Trump’s role in it. Death is really hard to ignore via wishful…

Not really, but I’m not in a FOX or Breitbart bubble either.

I’ve seen several of these rude awakenings on social media, and it boggles my mind. How could a grown adult decide to vote to repeal a policy without knowing what the policy actually is? It seems to me that one would have to go out of one’s way to avoid knowing this information, but also care enough about it to vote…

It may have been a bad idea for the GOP to have given the ACA the ‘Obamacare’ nickname, because that’s the name that will be associated with its most functional period. Sure, the point was to demonize it to fucking idiot bigots by tying it to the black President, but in the long run it could end up doing the opposite.…

Trump ran on repealing Obamacare. I don’t see how people could blame Obama, who will be gone, for Trump taking it away. Then again, I don’t understand how these people manage to achieve many of their pretzel-logic beliefs...

It’s getting so hard not to call them fucking morons to their faces.

It almost seems like chaos is the goal, though?

His leaks (that’s plural) directly put soldiers in grave danger; if you think punishing one of these people with 35 years in military prison is fitting, you can’t possibly think it’s fair to give the other a complete pass and a senior cabinet position. That makes no logical sense, besides being unfair.

As a Sanders supporter, I highly fucking doubt it, but what does that have to do with the relative importance of these two leaks? Absolutely nothing.

The revival or the Russian Orthodox church and the rise of Putin’s authoritarian, patriarchal regime are no coincidence. This is a conscious pairing of reinforcing ideologies that are anti-democracy, anti-woman, anti-civil rights, anti-transparency, etc. and based in public ignorance and fear, rigid hierarchical power…

He shouted down and chastised CNN and Buzzfeed because those were the outlets who ran the MI6 agent’s story, refusing to take their questions and calling them “fake news” and “pile of garbage” respectively. Someone asked the CNN reporter’s question (as it should be) when Trump refused to answer that reporter, but he…

That’s what happens when you ask as rhetorical question and someone answers it in earnest.

That’s a fabulous photograph :)

Depends on who’s making that assertion, what elements could or could not be verified by a second source, and the quality of their evidence, whether or not I could publicize all of that evidence legally or not. I think it also matters whether the information is something that is influencing the policy decisions of…

Well, what did DNC’s e-mail hack reveal? Some petty infighting and poor e-mail hygiene, but mostly nothing. We don’t know the pedigree of the Trump info, but both the huge substance of the allegations and the fact that they were circulating with EVERY key decision maker for months makes them newsworthy to me. If…

I think it’s prudent to take a skeptical but open minded view of this dossier. On the one hand, this reads as too-good-to-be-true for those who oppose Trump, and some details don’t jive with other accepted facts; apparently the “Says who” guy claims to have an alibi for one of the dates he was supposed to be in…

Regardless, that was an astonishingly spineless/oblivious reaction from the rest of the press; if this asshole is willing to shout down two news outlets for unflattering coverage, these people need to understand that there’ll be no one there to defend them when he inevitably does the same.
