These days?

But their current draft tax bill apparently incorporates $1.5 T in revenue cuts that they plan to pretend will be made up by the vastly increased GDP (it won’t—just ask Kansas).

You’re making me think back too far in our Trump altered time to comment with any certainty, but I believe some thoughts as to why R’s decided to tackle“healthcare” first was it needed to be able to do tax cuts by reconciliation. Something either about ACA provisions that would kick in, or too much money would be…

Hmm. . . missing a few things. There should be a naked attempt to disassociate himself from Republicans. Bonus points if it’s on the heels throwing a temper tantrum over the Alabama special election primary or throwing support behind the nominee and telling people to vote in the general because he needs R’s in…

Lets just hope they haven’t lettuce down the wrong path.

Look, man—do whatever is going to get you through a day that requires calling your senators yet again about healthcare

Yup. People travel for their jobs all of the time, and if you choose an option other than their standard accommodations for whatever reason, that’s what you get.

He’s a propagandist’s dream.

Not to mention sanctions are generally worthless unless you get other countries on board. Maybe it limits some companies doing business with NK but only if they are international or only if other country’s governments don’t have a vested interest in said company.

It’s not too far from what their official line has been. They’ve used the “threat from the West” to justify their shitty policies at the expense of their citizens well-being for a long time.

Or memes. Lots of nuance in memes.

Maybe don’t campaign on a reactionary ideology full of (intentional) deception in order to cling to power regardless of the cost?

Definitely not Venezuela or Iran. I’m putting even odds on NK, but only because it looks like his pecker poking out under his gunt and he might reflexively point to it if Ivanka Melania was in the room. Of course it’s just as likely he’d point to the Indochinese Peninsula.

Not from there, but have interacted with the College and associated community several times. Same.

Yeah, it’s frustrating, though there are options. If you feel your voice isn’t being heard, then you need to make it bigger. It’s one thing to call your rep and voice your opinion. It’s another to knock on their door and hand them a hundred signatures of people who agree with you, and another if those hundred pledge…

Call anyway and offer words of support. It could mean the difference between “I’ll vote with the party, but no one really cares so I need to be wishy-washy and keep my eyes open for a potential deal” versus “I sure as shit need to vote no, need to make it known I’m voting no, and need to make sure I am unequivocal…

I think he was just trying to get around the White House profanity filter. He’s really talking about the long ass lines, you know, like the ones for the. . . to get into. . . to wait for. . . You know what? For all that’s wrong with North Korea, at least you don’t have to wait in line!

I get that the other things are worse, but The President of the United States just retweeted, which when POTUS does so is essentially an official press release, a user whose name reads ‘fucked up mind’. That is one thing I can safely say I never anticipated occurring in my lifetime. Can’t wait for POTUS to bring…

Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!
