The problem was he had to appoint someone that would pass

then he needed to take it to the american people and make his case. Democracy still works in this country when enough people get pissed off. It won't be that way for much longer, but I still think there's a glimmer of our former selves in there.

If he votes no and stops this bill, I'll avoid calling him a robot until the next time he runs for president. That's my promise to you, the voters.

I wouldn't have said this 12 hours ago, but I believe there's a 25% chance the tax plan goes down. Not just Rubio's opposition, but I gotta think the insurance companies do not want to get rid of the mandate unless they also can get rid of being required to cover pre-existing conditions.

However, I do think politically it's likely they'll figure out a way to make Rubio happy--the politics are just far too favorable for what Rubio is trying to do.

The public didn't care enough about Garland, a fucking supreme Court nominee to heed Obama's advice; I doubt they'd even care about an FCC commissioner.

What if McCain can’t vote due to his health issues?

I wrote him a pretty strongly worded email about what a douchebag he is and donated some money to his probable opponent Andy Kim (which was my first time donating to a political campaign ever).

I saw that commercial again and donated to Kim again. I'm going to donate small amounts to him every time I see it.

True, though people often care more about things they think might directly affect them. Other than abortion, I'm not sure people know how the SC might affect them

anyway, half the public is asleep and the other half is otherwise occupied fighting other atrocities from the right. That's the real problem.

I pegged Blake Farenthold as a pervert the moment I saw him. Something about just made me want to vomit. Yuck.

stop pegging perverts

seems to me they have it coming to them.

Serious question...and I have a feeling this may have something to do with the Russian probe, because the guy has dropped off the face of the Earth...

Where is Rudy Guiliani??? Seriously, FOX, Hannity radio, ect. had him on what seemed like every day during the campaign and early transition speaking so highly for Trump...then remember, one night on FOX, he "predicted" the Wikileaks e-mail drop against Hillary, when he said to watch for something big to happen?

I really think something shady is going on...

I suspect it has to do with his slip up on the Muslim ban. He just disappeared after courts started striking down Trump's travel ban.

He's neck deep in the whole Turkey thing. Flynn may have even turned evidence against him.

Interesting...

rudy is on an extended vacation at Gitmo

Trump is headrd to Quantico, Va., today to address the Federal Bureau of Investigation graduating class. What could go wrong?

NPR interview with a conservative radio host/blogger leading a charge to vote party, not candidate. Process will work itself out, a the next election is just a few short years away.

He has some good ideas like a tax credit for employers. To hire US citizens.
