I didn't realize 1.5% was a crash. Almost don't even consider it a dip.

Alright, I'm just overreacting. I can just sense panic on reporters' faces, and it's completely freaking me out.

Big stuff going on.

It's just another day in Paradise. Come on, Trump's going to have to tweet about upcoming marshal law for it to be big. Otherwise he's your racist uncle venting.

I'm just saying ever since Monday, Fox News has been completely freaking out. They realise what's going on. I realise what's going on.

Are you guys claiming they aren't freaking out? They're holding back tears. They have lumps in their throat.

I don't know what's going on in other channels cos I haven't watched. Maybe it's more normal over there cos they have been awake for a longer time.

I haven't watched Fox news since the Carl Rove epic meltdown on election night 4+ years ago.

Sure. I mean I think some conservatives and Trump supporters are freaking out right now cos the healthcare bill failed. No big change for liberals cos they saw this happening a mile away.

I'm a former Trump supporter, who right now doesn't know what to think.

Senate Democrats are doubling down on their effort to force the Trump administration to publicly release visitor logs for the White House and Mar-a-Lago with a bill named for Trump's Florida resort.

Sens.*Tom Udall*(N.M.),*Sheldon Whitehouse(R.I.),*Tom Carper*(Del.) and*Jack Reed*(R.I.) on Friday introduced the the Make Access Records Available to Lead American Government Openness Act — or MAR-A-LAGO Act.

At least the Democratic bill naming game is on point.

I'd take a former cult member deprogramming himself like Raheem over BS or HastenDan any day of the week.

Not really.

HastenDan is sincere about his political views.

Raheem is here disingenuously to plant little seeds of fear and confusion about the fall of western civilisation, just what a Russian propaganda agent would do.

Can't tell if that's 10th Planet Jiu Jitsu on the jacket sleeve, that would explain a lot if it was.

reportedly in the freedom caucus meeting on healthcare

bannon told them it wasn't a discussion or a debate and they had no choice but to vote for the bill and some members immediately went nope just on that principle.

You got it backwards imo, VAT applies to all products - imported and domestic - and should be neutral regarding trade. The border adjustment tax is only on imports, unless I am mistaken, so this would skew the market towards domestic products.
