LOL pretty stupid article. So proof of collaborating= asking them to do something they did not do. Not to mention if he had to make the request public (though the request is not to hack as stated it was to turn over what he assumes they already hacked) it does signify they do not have a secret way of making the request privately and the Russians were not going to attempt to hack anyone in government without such a request. Must have been a total misunderstanding when the attempted to hack the RNC.

Someone on the left needs to encourage the alt right and the tea party types to form their own party, then fund the crap out of them. If they can split the right wing vote it would make a lot of races easier to win.

Unmanned missiles? Good idea.

Turnout was high for a special election, but not in general. The dem candidate in 2016, who lost by 31, got more total votes than the winner yesterday.

Yeah, well of course you have to judge it by that standard.

That interviewer is soaking wet. ****ing pathetic.

You can't shake a stick without hitting a racist connected to Trump in some way

He's got a defense though!

See? That people think Jews have taken over the world and are greedy isn't anti Semetic, it shows Jews' ambition and industriousness.

Wait it gets better

The Bingo card is full.

Looks like Putin is meeting with Tillerson after all. It must've been the "WHY do US taxpayers care what happens in Ukraine?" comment.

Can we all stop pretending he is even a little intelligent. There is a mountain of evidence he is the dumbest president of all time. He literally cannot put together a single coherent sentence or thought.

comparing an open seat election to an election with an incumbent running doesn't work so well either. the 2016 election was a snoozefest I'm sure.

Hey, look. The Republicans aren't in favor of market-based solutions to the student loan problem. They're just in favor of empowering lobbyists and big corporations who want to rob people blind for the right to be treated like a human being.

Republicans aren't in favor of solutions at all. They're in favor of lobbyists, big corporations, the Owning Class.

hmmm she did manage to easily manipulate the orange clown into demonstrating his complete lack of understanding of diplomatic protocol and into revealing his desperate need for approval.

This question probably belongs to the Obamacare thread, but since there hasn't been a post there in the past few days I'll ask it here.

I was reading the transcript of the latest Trump interview, and he said this:

What does he mean by "phase two"? It is my understanding that the current bill is being pushed through the budget reconciliation process. Does that mean that it is not a permanent law? and that phase two is to make it permanent but to pass that bill he would need 60 votes in the senate?

Supposedly they were going to try and do "healthcare reform" in multiple stages with the first stage done through budget reconciliation. The problem with the budget reconciliation process is that it can only deal with things directly related to the budget and not, say, changing regulations on private insurance which means they were limited in the things that they could fiddle with. The second part, which would have been more comprehensive, would have to go through the normal Senate process which would have to overcome a Democratic filibuster which would need 60 votes.

In reality, the budget reconciliation process was always going to destroy healthcare and then they were hoping against hope either people really were small government Conservatives who really wanted to get rid of healthcare connected with the government or that they could cajole Democrats into supporting something, because if they didn't, healthcare would burn and, again supposedly, people would blame the Democrats while Republicans could use the reduced revenue from the phase 1 budget reconciliation to give long term tax cuts to the rich. If that sounds convoluted and confusing that's why they couldn't get anything off the ground.

Thanks for the explanation

Which was also a stupid plan from the beginning.

There is no phase 2, there is no phase 3


Phase 1 was the dump from last month

The government is moving forward with attempting to convict over 200 people of felony rioting based on the evidence of their attire and being near the riot
