Barry really broke a lot of idiot's brains. Anyone who thinks of Russia as anything other than a stinking garbage heap needs their loving head examined.

I remember long, long ago, when it looked like Rex Tillerson wasn't going to be confirmed based on key GOP senator outrage. He got confirmed no problem. I'll believe that there will be actual GOP votes against this monstrosity when it actually happens.

A lot of these senators are in purple states that took the Medicaid expansion or that have a lot of constituents on the ACA.

I think the difference here is that while Tillerson's appointment wouldn't likely have any direct or immediate impacts on the average American's day to day life (so far as that person could tell), loving around with the ACA and Medicare most definitely will. This poo poo is a poison pill for the senate.

The Freedom Caucus (side note: gently caress all of them with a rusty hanger for the name alone) has already said no to this because it isn't full repeal now, fight the great Satan, replace I dunno eventually with whatever our donors lobby us for. This pack of assclowns does not know anything at all except government by "no".

Casimir Radon posted:Well you see our interests completely align with a garbage autocratic country that has been trying to gain the upper hand on us for 70+ years. We should be friends with them! It's just authoritarianism. They listen to the guy who 'paved his own way,' stuck it to the man, and got to the top, say maybe Russia's not bad, so they go, "He's the authority! He's made it to the top on his own! Russia's not bad!" These people have bought into the just world fallacy so hard they push for actively evil policies because if you're not a criminal, why should you worry? Surely they'll not target us. This is why you see so many stories of Trump voters getting bit in the rear end by his policies, and completely maintaining support for him. They don't think he meant to hurt them, so they forgive it, and give him more chances. Because he had to be right, he's the president. He earned it.

Its the Dog chasing the Car analogy. Now the Dog has the Car they have no idea what to do with it, and turns out the Car was driven by an orange idiot-madman. Also another poster posted that Nate Silver tweet. That's a great point. Literally every single *crises* this regime has bungled into since January has been entirely of its own making. What happens when a true crises happens? What happens when someone shoots up another school, a hurricane turns Miami into a coral reef, North Korea sinks a Destroyer, or hell ISIS manages a chemical attack on Baghdad? Uggg..

You could probably put money on a hurricane hitting Florida and Trump ordering federal assets to protect Mar-a-Lago while FEMA collapses. Two Finger posted:So in a perverse way having them in power could well be the best thing long term if the country survives the short term It's a big maybe. Losing has, if nothing else, spurred on the Democrats to revitalize the party, and there's a good chance they can retake the House if the administration continues to be a rolling disaster, leading up to a big Democratic wave in 2020 (Which will be key for redistricting). However, there is a LOT of damage the Republicans can and have been doing throughout the executive branch alone, and who knows if there will be enough of the EPA or the State Department left to save in four years. It took decades for America to built up its preeminent position at the top of the global order, and even a mere four years could irrevocably shatter our standing. Edit: Burt Sexual posted:lmao doesn't he have handlers that would say "uh mr. president, this may not play well during the work week. we have north korea, Malaysia, and china on the phone waiting for you." He would, but they're doing everything they can to circumvent the State Department because the administration is goddamn insane.

shame on an IGA posted:Probably not as effectively as the manufacturer, why the gently caress does tv need a microphone anyway? Depending on the TV, many reasons. Auto-volume leveling versus ambient noise. Some just straight up have webcams and can be used for things like Skype. Some respond to voice commands. And of course, speakers can all be used as microphones so even if you don't have an actual good microphone as part of your TV, all TVs have hardware that can be used to record sound because any speaker can be harnessed for that.
