It can't be said enough how much that committee was fielding questions from an alternate universe. As long as we don't let them get enough power to actually enact said universe, reality and entropy might eventually wake America from its fever dream of galts gulch.

quote:One Bush adviser told Bloomberg Politics in an interview Friday morning that the team was “unapologetic” about the changes, saying the moves were from a “position of strength.” “This is about winning the race,” the adviser said. “We’re doing it now and making the shifts with confidence. We expect to win.”

This is a pretty great article, translating the Freedom Caucus demands into plain english: http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/...v=top-news&_r=0 e.g.: quote:Would you commit to passing all 12 appropriations bills and not acquiesce to a continuing resolution in the event Senate Democrats try to block the appropriations process? Rare for a newspaper to rip the bullshit to shreds like this.

I genuinely can't wait for Jeb! to drop out of the race and hear how he tries to push it as him acting from strength. It's really messed up to be the most delusional guy in this field of narcissistic loonies.

Which is why it's pretty baffling why Ryan is going ahead with his bid. There is no way it will go well for him; if anyone thought he might have some intelligence, that's been disproven.

Reporting on the conservative talk radio on the way into work, the generic b-list host (Bill Handel I think?) was amazed, absolutely amazed that 75% of republicans didn't think the hearings hurt Hillary. He then expressed dismay that the republicans failed, but we know Hillary is a liar so the truth of that will come out eventually. He was trying to disguise it as we lost the battle but the war rages on, but you could hear the defeat in his voice. He then immediately turned to hurricane chat and never brought it up again.

Here is a very interesting take here on a new metric for campaign viability Because hell has frozen over, it is something worth reading in the National Review. Because the National Review makes Daily Stormer look like Letters From Birmingham Jail, I'm gonna quote it in entirety rather than link and give them hits quote:Jeb Bush Is Toast A lot of caveats apply to taking this as gospel, but some interesting points nonetheless.

It's also interesting how much of the freedom caucus demands are basically "oh god we know everyone hates us shelter us from the impending wrath of the party please", I never would have noticed that without the NYT article.

pathetic little tramp posted:Isn't the debt limit like 10x as disastrous as a shutdown too? If you're familiar with physics it would be like finding out c is no longer reliable as a constant. USD are the world's reserve currency, I.e. other countries' central banks trust it at least as much as their own currency as a stable and reliable store of value. When the going gets tough, people buy Treasury bonds. They're so well-regarded that until recently (hell we may still be) people were paying the Treasury (in the sense that the yield was below inflation, which itself is insanely low despite QE) to buy bonds. Those stable, reliable yield figures form a substantial part of the global economic bedrock. Defaulting on those yield payments would damage that confidence and mess with the exchange valuation of pretty much every currency in the world, for starters. It's incredibly terrifying to sane people and most of everyone else.
