I'm still hoping that the CBO posts their score later tonight for the AHCA with its dumb modifications. Lots of reports that the score will be delivered later today.

They were always owned by HBO. HBO just let PBS produce the show. HBO is now producing the show directly, they get to air the episodes first, then they allow PBS to air them later, kind of a free syndication deal.

Huh, just looked it up.

HBO bought them because the show was going broke. Either way, win win, show gets made and PBS gets the programming, just delayed so HBO can make something.

No. We are at a point where Nunes and Spicer are holding a tarp between them in the middle of a forest fire while saying "There is no evidence of wrongdoing and Trump is being harassed by Obama and his deep state followers.".


And McCain is on MSNBC saying there needs to be a special committee.

Why is Trump under the impression that multiple FISA warrants and incidental collection for people in his employ are GOOD things?

He's messaging his base to consider him their one, last true hope at peace and security who is under siege by dark forces that must be fought at all costs.

It's a page from the textbook of Authoritarian Strongman Dictator-wannabe 101. In his mind getting his message to "the people" is more important than anything like evidence or court cases, because they're the enemy and need to be crushed anyway and anyone who doesn't believe this narrative is just another dark and sinister enemy. Having a target for his base to attack is far, far more important.

Latest chatter is that they're still adding bullshit to the healthcare bill.

https://twitter.com/jenhab/status/844668927095590912

A hilarious side-effect is that they might raise deficits in the new CBO score, so it would cost money to enact the bill. That's a problem, because the Senate literally couldn't consider that bill under reconciliation rules (which this bill would be, which means only 50-votes needed), because reconciliation bills by definition CANNOT raise the deficit.

Even then, four Senators have already come out as no-votes. One senator is also out indefinitely due to back surgery, so Republicans can only lose two.

They've really hosed themselves.

Eh, it's not like that hasn't happened with other Justices. I mean it's not like his logic was mean spirited or being a dick. It also didn't deny a disabled kid an education it was about reimbursement for private education.
