The fact that Pence is so adamant about the rules makes me think that it’s a mix of paternalism and him having cheated at some point.

Pro tip from a woman: If you want to “respect your wife,” then don’t cheat on her, or flirt with other women, or be a prop in an administration that is an international embarrassment. None of that precludes you from have a normal business relationship with other women, which often includes eating. You know, the thing…

I would say electrical failure will make things far worse than no speedo in a new Tesla.

Tons of cars these days have LCD speedometers.

Actually Scion put it up high and farther from the driver. Such that you don’t have to take your eyes very far off the road to see the speedo. Nothing like this Tesla abomination, where the screen is lower and closer to the driver. You have to take your eyes way off the road, and refocus to the closer distance.

They’re the dog that caught the car. They never thought it would happen or that they would be in a position to do anything about it. And they had no idea what to do or how to do it. They voted straight repeal 40-something fucking odd times. When they knew it wouldn’t happen. They know there’s no improvement to be made…

I think the key thing is — can Republican leadership even state what their current goal of government’s role in health care is.

For Democrats going into the 2008 election, they made two generic promises/goals.
1. Do not touch employer-provided health insurance
2. Get health insurance for Americans who did not currently…

I’ve been watching Fox News (as I do from time to time to witness remarkable mental gymnastics) and they don’t know where to point the finger. On one hand, they acknowledge that Trump didn’t reach out to Dems, so they can’t blame them. On the other hand, they hesitate to point the finger at hardline conservatives…

For what its worth the bill that their think tanks worked on for years was cleaned up and humanized by democratic ideas and was in fact passed by congress and signed by the president. Its called Obamacare.

It’s almost like he is horribly unqualified for the job. Who would’ve thunk it?

The problem for Republican think tanks is that the ACA basically *is* their bill. Democrats used a Heritage Foundation plan that a Republican governor successfully implemented on a state level because they mistakenly though that’d get bipartisan buyin. So now there literally are no more conservative health care ideas…

Wait, you mean they guy who doesn’t understand how insurance (of any kind) works might not be the best guy to lead the fight on healthcare?

I think actual think tankers have never had less to do with conservative politics than they do right now. Really the only two places for them to go with this are

Well, given the crowd he runs with, saying he’s THE WORST is hyperbole. You’ve got Gohmert & Co. out there.

Hell, even when he WAS doing the negotiating himself it’s not like he was good at it. This gormless chucklefuck went bankrupt trying to sell gambling, steak, and football to America. He’s been coasting his entire life on the money he was gifted by his father and then lying about his net worth.

As of last Friday, zero members of Congress are worried about his threats. And that makes it all worthwhile.

Not to take anything away from the spectacular suckfest that Trump and Ryan put on, but what the fuck have Republican think tank thinker ls been doing for the past decade? The ACA took months to pound together after starting with a bill that had been written over years by industry/think tanks/pols. The ACHA was…

Dried milk curds.

That’s actually just another pair of khakis folded up.
