the Senate wants to vote on AHCA without any hearings and they want to do it before the end of the month.

I wasn't a fan of either title, but any blow to the plutocracy is a win for the board.
Quick Google shows that GoGo is wrong with regards to the Kiwi and the Banana.

if you don't reject the FBI Director Trump names after he allegedly tried to obstruct the previous FBI Director (then fired him), you're probably doing it wrong.

i simply listed a conflict.

AHCA Senate.0:
“We’re getting close to having a proposal to whip and to take to the floor,” Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) told reporters, after nearly three hours of closed-door meetings.

One of the few Rs that was reluctant appears on board now with a few fake fixes:
Cassidy said the protections for people with pre-existing conditions were a big factor for him, as well as the slower rollback of the Medicaid expansion, which has helped states like his insure more people almost entirely on the federal government’s dime.

“What we’ve been told so far, states would have the ability, a lot more power than they do under Obamacare, to shape their future, and I think we’ve gotta return the power to the states,” Cassidy said, seemingly referring to a proposal to set per-capita limits on Medicaid, which would push states to put tougher restrictions on who’s eligible for that program.

Asked if the phaseout of the Medicaid expansion was still a concern of his, Cassidy said it was. “I think there’s obviously more to be done, but the phaseout is further down the road and states have a chance to adapt,” he said.

a phaseout is still a cut

Nah, I know.

Biggest issue is probably the catch 22 that anyone that would actually accept an FBI directorship under Trump is someone you don't want as FBI director.

From ABC News:


Eric Trump says critics of his father are "not even people."

President Donald Trump's son told Fox News host Sean Hannity on Tuesday that he's "never seen hatred like this" and "morals have flown out the window" when it comes to attacks against his father.

Eric Trump took special aim at the Democratic Party, which he says is "imploding." He calls Democratic National Committee chairman Tom Perez "a total wackjob." Trump says Democrats "have no message of their own" and are trying to obstruct "a great man" in his father and his family.

The DNC didn't immediately respond Wednesday to an email seeking comment.

Trump also criticized the news media, which he says is "out of control."


Please love me daddy.

If Sessions were a real man he would not have offered his resignation, he would have resigned. Should it terrify us that his resignation offers were not out of loyalty, but so that he has freedom to execute his agenda? I think that fear mongering though is actually assuming he wants to more Bannon's stuff forward, but he likely just wanted to be uncuffed to do his job. Although he plays stupid on TV, he is not, which might be what worries me most as I think the Forrest Gump thing is an act and I cannot see to what end.

what does it tell us that one of the most despicable politicians of our lifetime doesn't even want to work for scrotus?
