No surprise there. Most Trump supporters have jobs and work during the day.

This is the most ignorant thing you've ever posted. I can see why you fell in love with the Don.

It's actually not even in the top ten in the past week.

It was a lame, layup joke that has been told and re-told for decades. I actually needed the drums after I hit submit. Grow up and stop acting like a petulant child.

I stated a stat I heard on Pod Save America, you made a thinly veiled racist (or at best elitist) joke, and I'm the petulant child?

I'm just glad we're able to joke about hashtags that matter.

If McCain is sold, that would eliminate most of my concerns. He wouldn't vote for him if he wasn't convinced on the Russia stuff, and said his meeting with Tillerson yesterday went well specifically on that issue. But he sounded this morning like he could go either way on the final vote.

how can you be so sure it just isnt mccain falling in line?

Because he has no reason to. He's up for reelection in 6 years when he'd be 86 years old. He cares more about foreign policy than any other issue. He doesn't like Russia, and he doesn't like Trump.

LMAO at "racist".

Truly pathetic.

Are you fucking kidding me dude? You just voted a petulant child in as president. Seriously, and now you dare try to use that as shit to throw as some anonymous guy on the internet? The level of cognitive dissonance here is overwhelming.

alright guys, let's stop insulting each other back and forth.

we have a big healthcare bill to not pass, there's no time for insults.

Laura Ingraham announces she is considering a Senate run in Virginia challenging Sen. @timkaine. @IngrahamAngle @foxandfriends

Well that is an interesting twist. Celebrity curtain call for offices across the land. I am not sure how she would do against Kaine. Her brand recognition is her big asset in a race, and Kaine is sort of low key. It could be an oddly interesting race, but not necessarily for the good of the citizens of Virginia. She has the background with education from University of Virginia School of Law, University of Virginia, and Dartmouth College, but how she has deployed such resources is iffy. I especially become consistently concerned when people with such advantages make money by defaming "elites". He authorship is primarily salacious red meat stuff.

he may also feel that he's comfortable with Mattis at defense, & with drumpf practicing 140-character 'statecraft', tillerson will be, shall we say, cuckolded

seems like a whole lot of assuming. he could just be falling in line (on this issue at least) like 99% of other republicans "for the good of the country"

I've never been a POW, but I imagine when you've been held & maltreated by honest-go-god no-shit-they're-serious enemies, you retain a fairly specific bug up your ass thereafter - especially when some no-talent, no-guts, no-brains, no-character dumbass demeans your service.

In other words I'm thinking maybe on stuff like this McCain's unlikely to do things simply out of craven political complicity

it's a reasonable a fair take. but he also picked sarah palin as his running mate in 2008 so i can't 100% trust his judgment
