They'll just take that and start new companies to give those 23 million people healthcare. Unless they have a pre-existing condition, that is.

1/6th of the population will lose their pre-existing condition protections.

I'd be surprised at how naked the corruption is but at this point I'm almost impressed. Nepotism out the rear end, massive scandals involving foreign interference in the goddamn election process, gently caress you and die while we keep more money budgets... it's honestly kind of impressive how brazen this poo poo is. Get the guillotine.

I really kinda want to work for the CBO. It's exactly the kind of work I do (researching topics and making lots of charts and graphs and reports that nobody reads) but this administration I would get the opportunity to dunk on republicans all day.

I get what you're saying about understanding why these people voted for him and still hold out support; they just seem to hope that maybe they won't be totally hosed if they hold on a little longer. I don't know, reading too much of Hunter S Thompson's writings lately has just made me even more pessimistic. This has been coming for decades but no one seemed to realize, on a large scale, how bad things really could be.

CNN just reported that the Racist Perjury Elf lied on his SF-86 Security Clearance request by not listing his contacts with Russians. gently caress, the whole administration can't fill out a SF-86 worth a drat. Article: http://www.cnn.com/2017/05/24/politics/jeff-sessions-russian-officials-meetings/index.html?adkey=bn Justification: Some FBI lackey said I didn't need to. quote:Sessions initially listed a year's worth of meetings with foreign officials on the security clearance form, according to Justice Department spokeswoman Sarah Isgur Flores. But she says he and his staff were then told by an FBI employee who assisted in filling out the form, known as the SF-86, that he didn't need to list dozens of meetings with foreign ambassadors that happened in his capacity as a senator. facialimpediment fucked around with this message at 23:07 on May 24, 2017 |

The freedom caucus is making noise about raising the debt limit. If the debt limit does not raise, the banks melt down, then the rest of the economy. Trump on campaign said repeatedly that defaulting on the debt might be a good idea. Here is what I expect to happen: the freedom caucus will demand conditions to raise the debt limit. Our idiot president will support them. Rs will need to support them near unanimously because dems won't support whatever conditions the freedom caucus demands. All that leaves almost no room for defections. And it's impossible to get all the freedom caucus to vote yes on a debt limit even if their conditions are met, because like most people who fetishize money and the economy, they know nothing about it.

Maine chat: my best friend and army buddy is from Maine. I'd love to move there to be able to hang out with him all the time. Just chill out doing Dad things together, hunting fishing shooting guns and drinking beer. Like no poo poo just going to his place makes me feel calm from all my sadbrains bullshit. Next time I'm out there I'm gonna twist his arm to go camping in the Allagash wilderness and go hike Mt Katahdin. Trying to figure out what I should take him to do when him and his wife come visit me in Washington this summer. Most definitely Rainier and St Helens.
