This is shaping up to be a hell of a week for American politics. Can't wait to see what they do next!

QUOTE (Reddy @ Jul 25, 2017 -> 02:41 PM) Not like this. Not with the fanfare and the epic storyline of coming back for this vote, brain cancer, all of it. History was watching that moment in particular and he seized it. We'll see what it all means for him and America soon enough. Oh my god....

QUOTE (Reddy @ Jul 24, 2017 -> 05:58 PM) That's not broad enough and hurts with small business owners. Wouldn't want to anger the small business owners.

QUOTE (Reddy @ Jul 24, 2017 -> 04:06 PM) They literally said 15 dollar minimum wage over and over in the presser. That's good, but I would still like to see them keep it simple. The slogan should be "We are going to raise the damn minimum wage".

Why are they always pulling their punches. Just say - 1. 15 dollar national minimum wage. 2. Single payer healthcare and free tuition for public colleges. The third point they made is fine I guess. It's just nothing really concrete either. A better third point would have been a new foreign policy.

Yeah, this is a disturbing bill. People have been talking a lot about free speech at colleges, but usually in regard to some wanna be nazi getting protested, but there have been a growing number of professors being fired for criticizing Israel or supporting Palestine.

Let's make America super-duper again! That should have been his slogan.

At least we can still watch him pitch.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jul 11, 2017 -> 04:14 PM) In non Russia news, devos is inviting an mra group to discuss domestic violence. https://t.co/scMlK6p3aQ This is like being dumb enough to invite Russia to establish a cyber security team That was from the president of the organization she is going to meet with. Nothing is shocking with this administration anymore. Betsy DeVos is human f***ing garbage.

The whole family is incredibly stupid. A very dumb mafia like family.

Regardless of the cost financially. The large loss of human life is what should be considered when thinking about war with North Korea.

War with North Korea would cost the lives of an unthinkable amount of people. It would also probably bankrupt our country. I normally think the tough talk with NK is just that, but with Trump who actually knows.

Back to the Center, Democrats Imagine thinking the Democrats weren't already sitting in the middle. Besides that, this just hot garbage. New York Times op-ed section continues to be mostly hot garbage.

Russia’s Putin, North Korea to challenge Trump overseas Lmao.

Auschwitz officials chastise Rep. Clay Higgins for gas chamber video Clay Higgins seems like a nice, normal person.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Jul 5, 2017 -> 08:51 AM) It will be a great day for Illinois and America when he dies. The whole country is going to be celebrating his death?

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 29, 2017 -> 10:14 AM) Collins Heller Moran Capito Portman Murkowski Hoeven Todd Young Boozman Grassley (shocking) Tillis Paul Cruz Ron Johnson Lee Gardner Cassidy All no's, no's after the fact or part of the "moderate working group" shut out of the process by McConnell. Cassidy (an actual doctor) and Collins have been working on their own more centrist plan for months now. Portman seems to be the biggest villain to the Trumpers, along with Heller...but he's politically untouchable in Ohio, just like Kasich.. Cassidy and Collins are working on a "Centrist bill". Is it called the ACA/Obamacare? Cause that's what we have now.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 29, 2017 -> 09:53 AM) They'd rather rot the relationship to score some political points unlike when they were the ones leading the way in places like Cuba, Iran, and North Korea, and pretended like the bad things didn't matter there. No one pretended bad things don't happen in those countries.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jun 29, 2017 -> 08:41 AM) It's too bad that a policy with 12-17% popular support has a pretty good chance of becoming law while a policy with 60% popular support has none because leadership in both parties reject it. I think it's going to be very difficult for leadership in the Democratic party to keep on not supporting this. Especially if this bill passes in the next week or so. One glimmer of hope is that I see more and more people talking about single payer all the time. I don't think it's some taboo "socialist" evil Soviet policy thing anymore.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 28, 2017 -> 02:06 PM) Trump promises great, great surprise on health care. He really does think he is on a TV show. Surprise! You no longer have health insurance.

When are they planning on voting for this?

Bloomberg says America should 'get behind' Trump Maybe the Democrats should stop having guys like this give keynote speeches at their convention. Just a thought.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jun 21, 2017 -> 01:58 PM) Parliament is awesome It's like half politics, half comedy battle.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jun 21, 2017 -> 12:46 PM) They're actually following through on Corbyn's suggestion and housing Grenfell victims in empty luxury condos nearby. It feels like Jeremy Corbyn is PM.

QUOTE (Reddy @ Jun 19, 2017 -> 11:24 PM) I don't, but I'm busting my ass to prove myself wrong. Hit ~350 houses today, 700 so far. Hoping to hit 1,000 by poll closing time. Do you live in that district or are you just down there campaigning for Ossoff?
