More importantly the House Bill as passed doesn't meet reconciliation rules, and so can be filibustered.

Everyone is complaining about the media talking about the NFL while simultaneous talking about the NFL.

I'm pretty sure people are more mad about Trump and players kneeling or whatever than their social security numbers being leaked.

I really don't see how this isn't a sign that if people on his administration were to have done something illegal, Trump would unquestionably pardon them. And if the judicial system can't hold the administration accountable, that only leaves the Republicans in congress with their impeachment power . . .

lol yea we're fucked buds.

I wonder what the #PresidentBannon crowd are thinking right now. The puppetmaster who was clearly 100% in charge of Trump got fired.

They'd probably think someone else got ahold of the strings, which is probably not far from the truth. And that person is probably General John Kelly. First the Mooch, now Bannon.

I don't think anybody is questioning the idea that Trump is batshit insane when it comes to radical Islamic terrorism.

Most of his supporters think he is reasonable about Islamic terrorism, and this his responses to them are justified. It's probably one of the main reasons they voted for him.

You should watch the BBC's "The World at War" if you want an in depth history of World War II.

What data is there to back up this claim that punishments for crime have gotten softer?

The speakers at the rally for the most part advocated for America as a white ethnostate. So I don't know what we're supposed to call them but neo-nazis or white supremacists seem to fit, and the term "alt-right" was coined by the same people. It's not really a shock it's made up of neo-nazis.

Trump's trying to see just how low we can get those approval numbers before the end of August.

So he missed the birth of his child for a job that only lasted 10 days.

Well done. "No WH chaos!"

Hot dog is code for cheese pizza.

Which is code for child pron.


I thought hot dog with no bun was code for circumcised young boy sex slave?

It might be. I didn't receive last month's liberal code book.

I like how Trump goes on and on about loyalty, but yet seemingly keeps throwing people under the bus when they disagree with him. Seems loyalty is a one-way street. He wants you to be loyal to him, not the other way around.

Sessions isn't turning out how you wanted? You want pesky Mueller gone? Time to get on Twitter and start ranting about Sessions.

Health savings plans aren't $12/year either. Pretty sure he's just not learned anything about health insurance, or is confused about what it is. He also said this a couple months ago:

Quote from: Trump
You're going to have absolute guaranteed coverage. You're going to have it if you're a person going in…don't forget, this was not supposed to be the way insurance works. Insurance is, you're 20 years old, you just graduated from college, and you start paying $15 a month for the rest of your life and by the time you're 70, and you really need it, you're still paying the same amount and that's really insurance.

Quote from: Trump
So pre-existing conditions are a tough deal. Because you are basically saying from the moment the insurance, you’re 21 years old, you start working and you’re paying $12 a year for insurance, and by the time you’re 70, you get a nice plan.

Where can I get these $12/yr health insurance plans?

It didn't sound like hyperbole to me. It sounded pretty straightforward:

Unless you're halting him from passing legislation while loudly screaming about how you're doing it because he's 100% guilty and disgraceful. By virtue of stating someone's guilt, you're making it pretty clear that you believe them to be guilty.

No Democrat in Congress is doing that.

That's what I disputed. Are you going to move the goalposts now?

Is Trump not responsible for what happened in his campaign? Or are we still operating under Trump having no idea what was going on within his own presidential campaign, which strains credibility and is arguably worse.
Neither, but when your argument is that they were obstructing someone who was under investigation, it would be good if a) he was under investigation and b) they had a chance of knowing that at the time.

You and I both know the opposition party is not going to make a distinction between the president and the president's campaign being under investigation. For the purposes of their political manoeuvring to prevent legislation from being passed, both will do fine. And that's not a presumption of guilt, either. It's politics in action.

What are you expecting Democrats to do? Just vote with the Republicans anyway out of the kindness of their hearts? In what possible word are you envisioning opposition Democrats with a president whose campaign is under investigation voting for their agenda?
