Let's say it does matter, what do you even do? Let's say it's even worse than pissgate, let's say there's a video of Trump on an episode of FakeTaxi with Putin as the driver. "You'll give me the ride for free and I get 20% of Rosneft? Okay let's do this." Let's say it's found out that Russia hacked the results in PA, NC, and FL and we have to replace Rubio, Toomey, and Burr on top of everything else.

How would you even deal with that situation? "Whoops, the election of the most powerful economy on Earth was loving rigged, but hey we're still your reserve currency we swear! We'll swear in Hillary next week and Causescu Trump for you!"

It'd be such an insane clusterfuck that there'd be no way anyone in the FBI or CIA who actually knows would release the info.

My friend from high school invited me over to his place like 4 years back while we were in college. He offered me some oxy while I was there and said he had been using it occasionally to get high instead of weed.
We didn't really talk after that since it was college and we found different groups of friends. He was found dead in his car a year later ODed on heroin.
Don't gently caress with opioids, y'all.

Dear President Trump:

I ask to be considered for the position of Poet Laureate of the United States.

American poetry should enhance America’s greatness, but let’s be honest, Mr. President: lately the poems have been not so great. The Obama poet laureates were, quite frankly, a disaster. Under their leadership, very weak, much American poetry has failed even to rhyme. That’s like a chicken dinner failing to have chicken. My poetry, on the other hand, always rhymes — and that’s one reason why, when current Poet Laureate Juan Felipe Herrera is deported, I should be considered to replace him.

a sample of his poetry: oh where did your balls go, paul ryan?

This Trump Voter is Torn Between Support for the President and an Obamacare Plan that Saved her Life

quote:

After struggling for years without insurance, the 55-year-old former small-business owner — who has battled diabetes, high blood pressure and two cancers — credits Obamacare with saving her life.

Watson also voted for Donald Trump, believing the businessman would bring change. She dismissed his campaign pledges to scrap the Affordable Care Act as bluster.

Now, as she watches the new president push to kill the law that provided her with a critical lifeline, Watson finds herself among many Trump supporters who must reconcile their votes with worries about the future of their healthcare.

Watson, a proud, salty woman who was uninsurable a few years ago, isn’t ready to renounce Trump. But she’s increasingly frustrated by his vague promises to replace Obamacare with something better.

I guess that's kind of the hypothetical conclusion i was coming too, about 1 out of 4 people were taking an oxy every day, or maybe 1/12 were taking 3 a day at any given time.

I should think if Ryan publicly fails to bring his caucus in to pass major legislation that's not a situation that can stand - the GOP has every branch of government right now and even with the Trump shitshow if one of those branches can't function then they'll miss their temporary window to pass all their dream legislation. It was sort of okay in the Obama years if the Republican House Majority was too fractured to reliably pass legislation since they couldn't get legislation signed anyway but that's not something they can ignore anymore and a high profile defeat would put it into the spotlight.

This could either be the Freedom Caucus's best chance to get one of their own into the Speakership by threatening the rest of the Republican party with obstructionism if they're not placated, or lead to some kind of breaking for them if the whole rest of the Republican party comes down on them somehow (Trump and all) for getting in the way.

I mean nominally the whole deal with the devil the Republicans are engaged in with Trump is so they can repeal all the entitlements they hate, pass big tax breaks on the wealthy, all the usual Republican stuff - if their own House members are going to blow up that agenda then what's the point of making nice with Trump?
