Extra fun fact: DHS was created by grouping together dozens of departments and agencies - all existing other other agenciy umbrellas - but as DHS divisions, those 180,000 civil servants could no longer be unionized. So Bush.

How stupid are people to keep taking them to the bank?
you honestly think a GOP Penis could control the clown car full of asswipes Trump hired? Miller, Bannon, SillyAnne, Hope, Lewandowski advising, the Derp sons, Jared & Ivanka all think (and probably do) have a direct line to the Donald — Reince was handcuffed from the start.
And...
I am honestly surprised it took this long for Trump to start firing the GOP stalwarts who helped get him elected and replacing them with incompetent buffoons of his ilk. Priebus let this situation get out of control by not controlling his party of egotists and morons and now he is out. That is some delicious justice…
Cash in advance whenever dealing with a Trump is a good rule of thumb.
I’m watching the Trump Administration like a slow-motion car wreck. This wasn’t like with W. where I thought he was awful but I thought he could keep base-level competency.
...but they never are.
Poor, poor Priebus, sold his soul and then the check bounced. Always verify a DTrump check is good, my man.
This infighting and backstabbing would be a whole lot more entertaining if the rest of us weren’t getting dragged down too.
The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald is about a freak storm wrecking a ship and killing a bunch of working-class sailors. So, more like what the GOP was trying to do with healthcare.
Paul Ryan’s too stupid to get the irony that he quoted a Canadian singer-songwriter who, by virtue of his citizenship, has universal health care.
I want to like... send this woman flowers or something. I don’t know what else to do with all the love this makes me feel for her, all on top of her consistently voting no on this repeal and replace nonsense.
Tai is what happens when you get Wall Street pros and corporate douchecanoes and tell them they are politicians. Savage him, Lisa! Savage him!
I’m thankful to EVERY senator who voted “no” on this. Yes, even McCain. This failed by ONE vote, since Pence had already made clear that breaking this tie would have been, as he said, a “privilege”. McCain is an asshat, but I won’t slam him for that today...I’ll wait til tomorrow. A VERY “well done” to the two…
Killer update on Murkowski being threatened by Zinke, though: he forgot she was his boss, didn’t think things through, and she’s now blocking his appointment hearings and appropriations. Oopsie! Checkmate.
I really applaud Collins and Murkowski and their gang of 2 who had the spine and ovaries to put America above party.
I’ve never commented before on Kinja, but I wanted to make a point that had the procedural motion to move forward on debate failed, McConnell and co. could’ve gone back to the drawing board and come back with a bill and tried to pass it as a budget reconciliation bill with only 51 votes. However, budget reconciliation…
I give those women a lot of credit, because I can’t say I wouldn’t have been intimidated by all the threats they’ve been getting. I appreciate that, despite not agreeing with them on many policies, they seem to be looking out for their constituents and not just their careers.
