So basically:
1. Sorry women in red states, "maternity coverage" isn't essential.
2. A good addition (somehow), but subtract another $15 billion in "savings" from the next CBO score.
3. Subtract even more in "savings" from the next CBO score.

I kind of think the threats are going to backfire with such an insanely unpopular bill that the changes might make significantly worse.

yeah i had the same question

maybe they needed to be out in the open for his tube spray to work and he was using child soldiers to keep rita contained but active as a long con to draw out all these supervillains she knew

bill clinton didn't take out bin laden when he had the chance and was even more timid that obama

democrats are worse than republicans without exception

Can't pretty much every single person in this thing just blame Ryan 100% for the outcome of a No vote, regardless of who votes it down and why? Everybody hates Ryan and his lovely bill so it seems like an easy move

the house bill passing would be bad news because

a) it would give trump momentum even though everyone agrees it's stupid and terrible. journalists are looking for a turnaround story

b) senators are a thousand times more craven and inept than house members and are much more likely to gently caress up and vote the bill into law

also they tried to threaten the loving Freedom Caucus, the blood-eyed true believer lunatics of the GOP

we'll see if they're bluffing or whatever but it's pretty good shot that these people are genuinely crazy in one way or another I'd say

Between your bizarre belief that a probation is not a punishment, your weird insistence that it is better and more effective to talk to would-be terrorists in private to tell them to post their terrorist stuff elsewhere, and douchey posts like the one I quoted above, it's frankly unbelievable that you are a moderator.

well i mean you can blame the cold and uncaring hand of god if you want, and who can dispute that

but it's domhnall the best of mcleod's bill in the sense that it's another one of those insane promises he ran on, and he failed to see it through just like he failed to see through the promise to deport millions of immigrants in his first day in the office, or end isis in thirty days

He'll definitely be the popular scapegoat, and it will mostly be well deserved since this was his baby and he spent a week giving giddy speeches about it.

First Witch
All hail, Trump! hail to thee, king of hotels!

Second Witch
All hail, Trump, hail to thee, king of television!

Third Witch
All hail, Trump, thou shalt be president hereafter!

JEB!
Good sir, why do you start; and seem to fear
Things that do sound so fair? I' the name of truth,
Are ye fantastical, or that indeed
Which outwardly ye show? My noble partner
You greet with present grace and great prediction
Of noble having and of royal hope,
That he seems rapt withal: to me you speak not.
If you can look into the seeds of time,
And say which grain will grow and which will not,
Speak then to me, who neither beg nor fear
Your favours nor your hate.


First Witch
Hail!

Second Witch
Hail!

Third Witch
Hail!

First Witch
Lesser than Trump, and greater.

Second Witch
Not so happy, yet much happier.

Third Witch
Thou shalt get presidents, though thou be none:
So all hail, Trump and JEB!

First Witch
JEB! and Trump, all hail!

JEB!
The earth hath bubbles, as the water has,
And these are of them. Whither are they vanish'd?

TRUMP
Into the air; and what seem'd corporal melted
As breath into the wind. Would they had stay'd!

JEB!
Were such things here as we do speak about?
Or have we eaten on the insane root
That takes the reason prisoner?

TRUMP
Your children shall be presidents.

JEB!
You shall be president

TRUMP
