Meh, the worm has turned now. Monmouth poll indicates 58% want to keep or keep/improve Obamacare, 39% want repeal or repeal/replace. Let it happen, I say.

Not true, if it were true then the phrase "we are a nation of immigrants" would be a racist phrase and we would be using instead the phrase "we are a nation of immigrants and slaves"

Another phony issue. Carson spoke correctly, the liberals got it wrong. More phony SPIN.
This is the post that got you ignored

Sessions: I have been called a Big Mac eater before, and I did not have communications with the Russians.

Media: That's not true, you met with the Russian ambassador.

Sessions: Okay, yes, I did have communications with the Russians, but not in my capacity as a Big Mac eater. We never discussed Big Macs!

The thing is though, he DID meet them as a member of Trump's team.

So even that excuse is a lie

Yep, they are comparing the size of the two bills

Seems like we've got to explain basic denotation and connotation. The denotation of immigrant is someone who moves from one point to another. The connotation is that it's voluntary. The longer more technical phrase should be voluntary economic migrant, but very few people use that in normal speech. They use the implication of involuntary movement in other words like human trafficking, kidnapping, and slavery. Carson does come from a Conservative historical perspective that wants to minimize the negative aspects of American history so they collapse slavery into immigrant in order to paper over the difference on a voluntary immigrant and an involuntary immigrant. Of course when pressed the Conservative strand of historical revisionism will admit that the slaves were involuntary, but notice we've already had to go through 2 or 3 question and answers just to get to a fundamental point about the history of how people got to be where they are. That is, that some were forcibly removed from their homes and pressed into work and the American nation had a whole legal and coersive regime to enforce it. "We didn't land on we didn't land on Plymouth Rock. Plymouth Rock landed on us" and all that.

Wow look at that extremely tall pile of job-killing regulations

Jesus, Price forgot to use the prop (unless the plan was for Spicey to do it) so an idiot from the press corps led him to do it.

I'm still waiting for Trump to accidentally refer to "radical Icelandic terrorists" just to see Breitbart etc run stories about the influx of darkies in Iceland.

Yep - the CIA hacked the DNC, pretending to be the Russians, then turned the information over to WikiLeaks because they hate Trump. Makes infinite sense.

/zerohedge - dead wrong about pretty much everything for a decade and counting

If the gaggle isn't hammering Spiceboy & Price with, "President Trump repeatedly said he wanted everyone to be covered and this plan does not do that, why does he support it?" then they're not doing their jobs.

All the hackers seem to be pro russian or pro anarchist.

Million dollar idea: start a health insurance company in a state where it's illegal to sue insurance companies for not paying legitimate claims

Half of the repeal/replace bill is repeal, by weight, so it's even shorter than you think. They tried to condense it into a bulletpoint list of no more than 8 bullets but they didn't because it's unlikely trump would have even read that version

So the other half is tax cuts? Or blank paper?

Will it? Good. Seriously. We need EVERYONE to take a financial hit between now and 2018 so we can start voting these greedy ****s out. I hope everyone's insurance triples between now and the 2018 primaries.

Donald Trump has claimed repeatedly that he has had no contact with Russian officials as a presidential candidate.

He was lying.

Trump personally met with the Russian ambassador on April 27, 2016, prior to a major foreign policy speech. The Wall Street Journal, in a report that was little-noticed at the time but was recently picked up by AMERICABlog News, reported the meeting last year.
