Yeah for me and a lot of other 80's and 90's kids, Lieberman is basically remembered as the congressional version of Jack Thompson.

This times a thousand, and then triple it for the loving President. Feds want to nail every single person they can snag, especially if some of the suspects are turtles in position of power that can do massive damage to the investigation and prosecution.

For those who haven't been following the Montana election, Quist has largely been campaigning on health care and how awful the AHCA is. The timing of the CBO score is pretty great for him.

Also, Democrats won a state senate seat in NY that has literally never been held by a Dem in a district Trump won by 20 points:

Quist better spend the next 24 hours blanketing the state with the CBO score. If you can't win off the immediate reaction to that, you might as well give up trying to win these seats.

Thats my district. She was campaigning like crazy, we had three or four people at our door in the past few weeks asking us to support her. I saw signs for her all over the place, while I never heard a peep from the other guy. I guess his campaign strategy was to do nothing and coast to a win since it is such a republican area.

Honestly, it kind of depends on Montana and Georgia. If Republicans lose those seats, they're probably going to completely freak out and dump Donny in favor of keeping their jobs.

Really, with NY and NH special elections they might already be freaking out, but those might not be high profile enough for them.

Don't forget he lost the Democratic primary in his re-election bid, then ran as an independent and got voted into office by courting Republican strategic voters and banking on a large chunk of the idiotic Democratic masses not paying enough attention to the race to realize he'd gone turncoat.

He personally prevented ACA from having a public option, for one.

No. it's worse than that. The Public option was DOA. What he did was kill the Medicare buyin at age 55 which is basically the number 1 reason that the ACA insurance markets are having problems now. It had 60 votes of support and Leiberman CHANGED HIS MIND when he saw progressives supporting it. People died because of that vote and it was purely because of spite. Also, he was one of the main boosters of the Iraq war until pretty much the end of the Bush presidency at which he went to the Republican Convention and endorsed McCain and Sarah loving Palin over Obama. He's vile scum.

Also Israel really isn't an issue anymore since Obama did a very good job of extricating the US from the I/P conflict in a lot of ways, but back in the early 2000s israel/palestine was a MAJOR wedge issue and lieberman was always there handwaving atrocities committed against Palestinians.

Trump's about to arrive in Brussels, apparently he's being hosted in the embassy by the ranking diplomat and he'll sleep there because the ambassador's residence is still empty.

Melania will probably be staying at the same hotel Obama stayed at. Guess she's gotten used to living apart from him.

My wife and I were talking about the hand swatting yesterday. She said she worried about Trump being physically abusive because it's blowing up in the media and making him look bad. I suggested it's likely Melania is never actually anywhere alone with Trump for this to happen.
