I don't think so. He is a total coward. He is more likely to quit.

Identity politics. It's 100% Go Team and nothing else for most of the country at this point. Except if the Chiefs win the division I actually lose money. But I accept it because I hate the Broncos so much that it's worth it to see them not win.

Trump is a fat 70 year old narcissistic man baby who occasionally violently rapes his wife. Do we really need a series of gifs to figure out that his young trophy wife hates him?

This will not end well. He's never going to just quit and slink off.

That GIF was edited to be misleading I think. She had the sad face for a while before Trump turned around. So maybe she's sad all the time, or maybe that's just her face, but it's it doesn't look like he said anything terrible to her to ruin her day.

No. Her body language says everything that shows a hatred for Donny. It's not just here. It's been apparent for months if not years. Even her smile in the gif is fake. Look at when she and Donny were dancing. She's doing everything she physically can to stay as far away from him as possible without making it look obvious. Meanwhile, he's practically trying to grind with her. This is not how married couples in love behave. She's a trophy wife. Nothing more, nothing less.

Texas lawmakers are literally sadistic

Quote:

In an interview with the Texas Observer, the Republican lawmaker explained that women need to know there are “repercussions” for their actions.

“Right now, it’s real easy,” Tinderholt said. “Right now, they don’t make it important to be personally responsible because they know that they have a backup of ‘oh, I can just go get an abortion.’ Now, we both know that consenting adults don’t always think smartly sometimes. But consenting adults need to also consider the repercussions of the sexual relationship that they’re gonna have, which is a child.”

House Bill 948 has been named by Tinderholt as the “Abolition of Abortion in Texas Act” and will likely draw another costly lawsuit for Texas taxpayers to fund in court. Under this bill, there would no longer be any exception for women who are abused, raped or have fetal abnormalities. If a teen is raped by her father she would be forced to carry the child under this law under penalty of jail.

Tinderholt explains that the women should be forced to carry the child because he’s “a firm believer that God creates children in his own image, regardless of how that child is brought into the world, it’s created in his image, and how can someone want to destroy that?”

Wouldn't it save everyone a lot of time and money if they ran these things past lawyers before they voted on them?

Nah, it's all to appeal to the base. They know it probably won't pass the legislature and even if it does it'll probably get shot down in the courts.

I'm no lawyer, but I assume they're enacting an obviously illegal law so they have a case to make it's way to the US Supreme Court just in time to make use of 1 or 2 justice additions by Trump.

EDIT:

Hue's idea makes more sense.

About time

Quote:

When it comes to Donald Trump’s self-created mystique as a kind of populist avenging angel for working class whites betrayed by elites, you cannot overstate the centrality of his promise to push for massive infrastructure spending. It helped Trump cast himself as ideologically different from congressional Republicans, who have long balked at massive public outlays to create jobs.

But today, Chuck Schumer and Democrats are trying to call Trump’s bluff. They are unveiling their own massive infrastructure spending plan, and are asking Trump to join them in supporting it:

Quote:

A group of senior Senate Democrats on Tuesday plan to unveil their own $1 trillion plan to revamp the nation’s airports, bridges, roads and seaports, urging President Trump to back their proposal, which they say would create 15 million jobs over 10 years.

The Democrats said their infrastructure plan would rely on direct federal spending and would span a range of projects including not only roads and bridges, but also the nation’s broadband network, hospitals run by the Department of Veterans Affairs and schools….

Democrats said they would pay for their program by closing tax loopholes, an oft-stated pledge by both Democrats and Republicans. They did not specify which tax loopholes would be used. …

Their 10-year blueprint included $75 billion for schools, $210 billion for roads and bridges, $10 billion for VA hospitals, and $20 billion for broadband installations. For every billion dollars in spending, 13,000 jobs lasting at least a year would be created, they said, citing a Federal Highway Administration estimate.

Democrats are trying to stake out a marker in this debate that indicates what they would need to cooperate with Trump in passing infrastructure spending. The idea is to contrast this with the plan that Trump himself has actually proposed, which isn’t actually a plan for massive public spending.

They should hammer home that the proposal will actually create jobs while Trump's tax and privatize scheme shows that he can be bought by big business and then invite him to accept the scheme that will help the 'working man'

You can't raise that much money via loopholes, unless they want to ax mortgage interest and charitable deductions.

just here to LOLOLOL at all the people who went nutso over DAPL LITERALLY the week before the election, checking in on Facebook, protesting, donating, etc. instead of making sure Hillary won

in fact, seeing the protestations and constant Facebook chatter may have driven people to Trump in swing states

In the lead-up to his confirmation hearings, Price has been kept out of the Trump transition team's efforts to craft an Obamacare replacement plan. According to a senior transition official, the incoming administration wants Price to be inoculated from questions about what Trump's alternative to the Affordable Care Act looks like when he faces probing senators this week.
