“Our president tweeted that the government should “Let Obamacare implode, then deal.””

This is the crux of it, really. Republicans will dig a tunnel under the walls of Obamacare, set the charges, and collapse the wall by blowing out its supports. They’re already doing this by defunding the subsidies that make the

She “became deceased?” Yeah, no. She was shot and killed by the cop.

I the irony of McCain, a man who has been eligible for tax-payer funded healthcare his entire adult life (through the military, VA, and Congress) limping back to Washington (pre-existing conditions and all) to kill this bill is just overwhelming.

My friend’s 12 year old got suspended from school the day after Election Day. The bully in the class walked up to her (Muslim) friend and started taunting him that he was going to be deported. My friend’s daughter walked up to the bully and punched him right in the face. Her mom took her out for ice cream when she

I don’t know if I think it’s the shitiest, but it’s among the most alarming. The reason for the institutional respect for the presidency that has built up over the years is the shared assumption that the president is a decent person, or at least has enough wherewithal and self-control to PLAY as a decent person, and

Of all the shitty, SHITTY things he has done, I actually think this could take the cake — at least right now. The fact that he said this shit in front of children, unchecked by anyone in authority at BSA, is just silent approval for the terrible things he said in his speech. If the BSA really didn’t endorse this shit,

I can appreciate that, but if you put the washers on the bolts before you start they will add no time when you’re putting up the signs.

I’m gonna go out on a limb and guess that the goal was to get them up as quickly as possible without being seen so the easily startled cops didn’t shoot them.

I know it was just a TV show but, dammit, I wish more cops were that kinda man.

It is disgusting that rape kit legislation is actively opposed. Then again, The House easily passed “Kate’s Law” only because of xenophobia not because of the circumstances that led to Kate Steinle’s death. The men in Congress just don’t care about sexual assault victims at all, just the appearance that they seem

Can’t wait for Fox News and Blue Lives Matter dumbasses to start crying about liberals hurting their precious fee fees and how this leads to violence against cops.

The big difference between Trump and Nixon is that Nixon was actually interested in having a functioning government. Departments were staffed with serious people who cared about doing a good job, and headed by experts in their respective fields. There was ideology, sure - but none of them actively wanted to shut down

Pretty much this. How many ‘last straws’ have we had? THIS will be what ends his campaign, THIS will be what causes the RNC to boot him, THIS will be what keeps all but the most ardent right-wing voters from giving him their vote, THIS will be when he gets maneuvered into resigning, THIS is when impeachment begins...

Came here to say exactly this. Every time I hear some variation of “yeah but (insert new scandal here) will be the thing that finally gets people to come around on Trump!” my eyes roll all by themselves. Trump’s followers are a cult, they won’t leave him for anything. Therefore the GOP, beholden to their donors and

Come on........Trump pardoning himself would do nothing more than elicit some “We’re deeply concerned” responses from the GOP congress.

Supreme and unwarranted confidence and a lack of self-awareness... those traits sound so familiar. Do you work in the WH?

Personally, I’d pay them like kings and then hold them to an insanely high standard.

I find it telling that the manufacturers of these cameras designed them to record the prior 30 seconds of video before being “switched on”. Even those guys knew the cops couldn’t be trusted.
