Republicans control the House and Senate. Why are Democrats to blame if Republicans didn't craft a bill and bring it to the floor, which the Democrats don't have the power to do?

Nicaragua and Syria have signed onto the Paris Climate Accords, leaving the United States as the only country in the world who isn't a signatory.

The reporting I saw was that the military"forgets" to report this information routinely.

I'll never understand that mentality. You've got enough wealth to last centuries, but you're still obsessed with hording more, more, more.

Popehat ran through the relevant Kentuck statutes on Twitter, it basically comes down to "seriously bodily harm" and intent

Well tpc screwed up the child tax credit part and has retracted it's analysis. New one will be issued tomorrow

The fight was apparently a long-brewing feud over yard waste, leaves and bushes.

Rand Paul's neighbor attacked him at his home, breaking five of his ribs.

QUOTE (Quin @ Nov 6, 2017 -> 01:58 AM) A lot of states have s*** or non-existent gun laws. While some states passed tougher gun laws in the wake of Sandy Hook, the overall impact was that gun laws because less strict throughout the nation. Instead, we get ideas like arming every teacher in every classroom or the solution is that everyone should carry a deadly weapon on them to a place of worship.

I think a majority of the additional coverage actually came from the Medicaid expansion

QUOTE (raBBit @ Nov 4, 2017 -> 12:33 PM) How has that been debunked? Are you referring to the DNC rigging? Brazile was conflating different agreements and her "bombshell" the other day didn't really happen. You can still argue about superdelegates and debate schedule etc but the fundraising agreement story was bunk

I know you personally were negatively impact and that sucks and should be fixed, but the idea that insurance is zero sum and somebody has to lose theirs for someone else to get it is very clearly wrong.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Nov 4, 2017 -> 12:39 PM) Rigging the DNC primary = petty bulls***. Immaterial amounts of Russian bought ads supporting Trump, Sanders and Stein over Clinton on Facebook = BIG DEAL. It turns out Brazile was wrong, plus Reddy is pro Clinton so that doesn't even really make sense

Enjoy continuing to fracture the Democratic base over petty bulls***
