There were already two who opposed which brought the total count up to four. (This was to even bring the bill to a floor vote.) It’s dead.

I guess the best news about this is also that McConnell was lying to the moderates about the affect the bill would have on Medicaid and then admitted he was lying to the super-conservatives in Cruz’s camp, and then that got leaked and a Senator from Wisconsin went to talk to one of them about it AND THEY CONFIRMED IT.

Woooooow. That’s amazing.

And said by the party who shut down the government and refused to let a Democratic president appoint a supreme court justice! The party who has done everything they can to ensure the government doesn’t work when run by the Democrats so they can blame them!

Trump is also going after Arizona Senator Jeff Flake (R), so that’ll win him a lot of points in the Congress.

Honestly a lot of the big issues with women for organized Christianity (and especially Catholicism) don’t even come straight out of Jesus’ teachings but instead something like 200-400 years after he died when one of the leaders REALLY did not like women. Also Paul. Fuck Paul.

Honestly it’s just a sign of what a great smear campaign the Republicans have done over the years (and a healthy dose of sexism). George W. Bush was born rich. Trump was born rich. The Republicans, ironically, have a greater history of electing elitists and people who can’t relate to their situation but are better at…

I’ve always thought a Leverage episode did a pretty good job explaining the mechanical workings of most “psychics”.

I suppose if they drop Gendry in as a captive of the Lannisters and Arya is already headed for King’s Landing, they will meet up that much faster.

I love the way Tormund looks at Brienne. Love it. From the first moment, he’s looked at her like she’s the most attractive woman he’s ever seen. It’s so great. Like grab your friend’s arm, pull it out of it’s socket, (DON’T LOOK! DON’T LOOK! OKAY LOOK!) wide eyed admiration of a man whose fallen so head over heels…

It really would. I’m just hoping they stay at odds and never get their shit together.

Opposition research with foreign governments, especially those governments who are considered enemies of the nation is called collusion. Colluding with an enemy power to take control of the government of your home country in exchange for future favors is treason.

So, they’ve got to defeat Graham and Cassidy’s bill first and then vote on their own without attracting political retribution in the process. That’s just fantastic.

Next evolution of the guy who realizes the nice and considerate persona gets him chicks, but only actually cares about the getting chicks part? (Except not, really he just wants to be better than those other guys. Woman is a trophy, an achievement, an object to soothe and build his ego. To tell him what a great guy he…

This. Is. Not. Acceptable.

While a part of me wants to get snarky about people like Joe and Mika only just publically turning on Trump now after it’s personally started affecting them, I’m not going to beyond this. The more On Air commenters and defectors who turn on Trump the better.

Is everything in these assholes’ repertoires just “Well, it was okay for Hillary...”?

I would guess Mueller does nothing by accident and knew from the beginning. Trump is still under a RICO investigation, after all. (Which is why, I’ll bet you, he wanted Comey in his pocket.) If there were two parst of the Federal government Trump would have a great interest in, it’d be the FBI and IRS so he could make…

I don’t know, from everything I’ve seen from Trump during the election cycle (and not just about Russia) is the child’s approach to getting called out. Anything you accuse him of, he chases harder until he either gets his way or it gets so ridiculous everyone just gives up. If you say he’s in trouble, he’ll tell you…

Trump looks ready to lick Putin’s boots, a man in the presence of his idol.
