CBO score It's ****, the bill is ****. We told you every other time it was ****. Hell this one is worse **** and everyone knows it.

The fact that Trump is in the running for WOAT without actually having a crisis should terrify everyone.

As ****ed up as it's been, the past 3-4 months have been pretty much smooth sailing on the international scale. Bush/Obama could have just as easily bombed Syria or used the MOAB. Yea, there would have been outrage, but **** it, bombing brown people is what the US does.

Pretend there's a 9/11 type event tomorrow. Or that fault line off the west coast creates a 9.1 earthquake and Trump is like "**** them. They voted for Clinton."

The dude is so incompetent he'll make Bush handling Katrina look like Hawking explaining science.

Yep - but once he gets us into a war he's got built in immunity from losing an election, just like GWB did. I know it's counter-intuitive but people seem to retreat to something like "Ok, you started this, I guess you have to see it through".

Heller is a new republican senator to say he wants a special prosecutor, right?

if they slowly add up it wont be ignored imo
05-12-2017 , 11:22 PM
Heller has to crack at least a little for any chance of saving his seat in 18.

I suspect that involves all of them trying to figure out how to get in whatever room trump is in as quickly as possible.

The influence is so erratic and changing they all try to be near him at all times. I also suspect it is very much clique based with pretty much zero cross talk outside of Trump's presence.

Wouldn't call none of our former allies trusting us anymore and trump wanting to BFF's with all the worlds murderous dictators and Russia making us look like the biggest idiots ever smooth sailing on the international scale. We are fortunate that a global scale crisis hasn't happened yet.

I like you better as a rabbit typing furiously from your care-taker's computer in the basement whilst she sleeps. but I see have no say in the issue. On we move, comrade

The rabbit is either falling asleep or dramatically faux-passing out. Either could be due to what he's reading on the computer.

Mr. Comey made no comment, but later in the day he declined a request to testify before the Senate Intelligence Committee on Tuesday. According to a close associate of Mr. Comey, he is willing to testify, but wants it to be in public.

Sinclair Requires TV Stations to Air Segments That Tilt to the Right

Since November 2015, Sinclair has ordered its stations to run a daily segment from a “Terrorism Alert Desk” with updates on terrorism-related news around the world. During the election campaign last year, it sent out a package that suggested in part that voters should not support Hillary Clinton because the Democratic Party was historically pro-slavery. More recently, Sinclair asked stations to run a short segment in which Scott Livingston, the company’s vice president for news, accused the national news media of publishing “fake news stories.”

Jesus Christ. No wonder so many idiots believe Trump.

Probably a huge favorite that those Remingtons were swapped out with fakes.

So Trump has himself on tape asking the FBI director if he is being investigated?

Does he that there is a law that you have to tell someone being investigated the truth when they ask you?

JFC - even promoting this as "let's look for peace" is a MASSIVE overton window shift from "Hey Russia, you invaded Ukraine, this is unacceptable". Ugh.
I'm probably ponied but also look at the different poses for the two pictures. That's pretty disgusting imo.

INTERVIEWER: Another part of your overall plan, the tax reform plan. Is it OK if that tax plan increases the deficit? Ronald Reagan’s tax reform didn’t.

TRUMP: Well, it actually did. But, but it’s called priming the pump.

It is in fact well known among economists and policy experts that the 1986 Tax Reform Act was designed to be revenue neutral. The interviewer lets this go and continues:
Quote:
TRUMP: Have you heard that expression before, for this particular type of an event?

INTERVIEWER: Priming the pump?

TRUMP: Yeah, have you heard it?

INTERVIEWER: Yes.

TRUMP: Have you heard that expression used before? Because I haven’t heard it. I mean, I just … I came up with it a couple of days ago and I thought it was good. It’s what you have to do.

http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer...ty-ensues.html

I know it's funny and inconsequential in a vacuum, but claiming he personally just came up with 'priming the pump'? And a couple days ago... when he used it during his campaign??

I no longer have any doubt that POTUS has an immense mental health problem(s) (meh, I haven't in a long time but anybody who has been skeptical needs to wake up) and only deteriorating further by the day it seems. JFC Republicans. JFC America.
