We asked 8 Senate Republicans to explain what their health bill is trying to do (the real goal of the bill is giving tax cuts to millionaires so they can buy a bigger boat, any impact on healthcare policy is largely incidental)

QUOTE (Tex @ Jun 16, 2017 -> 08:56 AM) On a good note, imnsho "dreamers" will not be deported. Trump will not be pushing for immediate deportation which was a campaign promise. They've already been deporting DACA and DAPA immigrants, though. ICE and CBP are rounding up anyone and everyone they can, even out of medical aid facilities, and the regular stories about their activities are disgusting and heartbreaking. Local police are dismayed and angered because these draconian actions are destroying trust and relationships with immigrant communities that take years or decades to build. There are apparently a lot of bad people within ICE and CBP and they've been given free reign by this admin.

I guess Trump doesn't remember the time he went on national TV and proclaimed that he was going to fire Comey regardless of the recommendations. I know that was 8 years ago at the pace everything moves these days and Trump's brain is mush, but I'm guessing a lot of people remember him saying that. e: it is absolutely perfect that his world-class insecurity and narcissism made him break all sorts of rules and norms to get people to publicly declare that he wasn't under investigation which lead to....Trump himself publicly declaring that he is now in fact under criminal investigation.

ahahaha what is this even supposed to mean?

Some companies are just cheap as hell and then remain confused why they don't get good candidates. Other companies have upper management that will "let" middle management put in requisitions to hire people, but they purposefully set the salary so low that the middle manager will never find a qualified candidate they like at that range or it'll be a constant churn of mediocre to bad employees.

I'm not sure how you take a tweet making fun of older conservatives whining about a Shakespeare play and turn it into "kids these days!" but greg, uh, finds a way.

Rosenstein statement here https://twitter.com/ZekeJMiller/status/875526604671373312

Deputy AG rosenstein also released an extremely weird statement a little while ago, allegedly an ally has some sort of compromise tape off Trump (not pee tape tough)

CBP raided a medical camp to detail and deport people. https://twitter.com/NoMoreDeaths/status/875...src=twsrc%5Etfw The way they and ICE are behaving since Trump took them off the leash is monstrous.

Man restarting The Troubles just to try to prop up a government that's guaranteed to fail shortly anyway would be a heck of a move. I'm guessing there's another election before the year is out.

McConnell is considering a trick in the Senate that would allow for as little as 2-4 hours of debate after the first time the text of the bill is made public. 2-4 hours for a bill that substantially impacts 1/6 of the economy and strips health insurance from millions. https://mobile.twitter.com/ASlavitt/status/...src=twsrc%5Etfw

TRUMP TRIED TO CONVINCE NSA CHIEF TO ABSOLVE HIM OF ANY RUSSIAN COLLUSION: REPORT

Dump it all in index funds, then probably head off to Patagonia for a while. I'd also go in with BS on an upgrade of ST board software.

It's still a worrying trend, and we know President "legally too dumb to commit a crime, apparently" gets more information from cable news than from his classified briefings. He's likely to try to fire Mueller via tweet based on his uncontrollable impulses, and everyone steeped in the right wing media world will completely legitimize it.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jun 15, 2017 -> 09:28 AM) With GOPs tepid pushback and now open attacking of Mueller, I think he will be fired soon. Trump is a raptor testing the electric fence. With each shock that the GOP realizes doesn't kill them, they then accept it was not only correct but their right to do, and all criticism is false. Rinse repeat. There is nothing this president will do that the GOP will not accept as standard 2 weeks later. I've seen lots of idiot media flunkies and former politicians trying to trash Mueller, but are any sitting Reps or Senators attacking him or his investigation yet?

Nixon: It's not illegal if the President does it! Trump: It's not illegal if the President is too dumb to know it's a crime!
