Remember when the made-up words coming from the White House were like, misunderestimate? And “this is where I office?” Simpler times.

Prior to 2000 was it ever so evidently necessary for the judiciary to keep insane executive shit from happening?

In fact, this is like the 3rd time news of a ruling has come out where I’ve thought “Wait, another ruling by another court? I thought this was going to the SC already?”

God dammit, I can’t believe how uninterested I was in learning about the different branches of government in school. I was just like, “bleh-whatever, checks and balances yada yada.”

ABC News’ Kate Shaw explains, however, how the 9th Circuit decision complicates the case against the ban.

I...this is...

I am just going to leave you here with this

FUCK.

Also, a great argument against tax cuts if you compare Nebraska to Kansas. Brownback is a fool for not following Pence’s lead in implementing the Medicaid option. It benefits the recipients, providers, and saves money in the long run.

4) WTF? FDR’s New Deal included a single payer healthcare system which Truman tried to get Congress to pass in 1945. In 1955, Eisenhower asked Congress for a “Federal health reinsurance service to encourage private health insurance organizations in offering broader benefits to insured individuals and families and…

It makes me want to cry that our female candidate knew she had to practice not being physically intimidated by her opposition.

Very interesting info, thank you! I’m learning so many new things, and it’s both depressing and - I must admit - rather fascinating.

“I mean...isn’t that what should happen in a functioning democracy if a politician acts out?”

Having a really hard time dealing with the fact that our national security interests are getting subsumed because of these morons’ fee-fees.

As others have noted, the surface problem is that Congress, the branch of the government that has the Constitutional power to remove the president from office, is controlled by Republicans.

I keep forgetting that you guys have a two-party system! Here in Germany, even though Merkel’s party has the highest number of seats in parliament they are still not the absolute majority. It does seem to be a pretty smart way to prevent giving one party too much power.

That would be just fine.

Ha! We haven’t had a Scarlet Pimpernel in a while! Not sure how the market would react to a tale of noblesse oblige. If they told it totally straight and marketed it to women (per the OP), it would work.
