Some people here are (understandably I suppose) under the impression that the FBI is currently leaderless. It isn't. The acting director currently has all of the power that Comey did all with the bonus of not being politically appointed, thus having no reason to be friendly to this administration. Trump wants a new FBI Director desperately but no one is willing to take the job. That should tell you something.

Use one of those guns that shoots 100 bullets to cut them off at the knees or something! This is apparently the way they've been arming themselves for! Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord!

Countdown to the Embargo on Cuba returning...

just today:

quote:

U.S. Sen. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.), a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, and Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) today introduced the Freedom for Americans to Travel to Cuba Act of 2017. The bill, which is cosponsored by 52 of their Senate colleagues, would eliminate restrictions on travel to Cuba by American citizens and legal residents.


Specifically, the bipartisan legislation ends restrictions under laws enacted in 1996 and 2000 that prevent American citizens and legal residents from travelling to Cuba – restrictions that do not exist for travel by Americans to any other country in the world. The bill would also end legal prohibitions on travel-related transactions, including banking transactions.

Lower those eyebrows, young man. And the other one.

I believe it. There have been enough rumblings of discontent out there to make it clear the Senate republicans aren't embracing health reform as the priority it has been for the house. The real key is to find a discontent to latch on to that isn't just the house bill so they can't dismiss it with the claim they're doing their own version.

Nah, after doing nothing during Comey's firing and Trump asking Intel folks to lie for him which are borderline literal charges raised against Nixon, GOP has crossed the Rubicon and are committed to riding out this loving hellstorm.

Frankly I won't be surprised if the Mueller report comes out and basically says "like half this administration is controller by Russia, here's tapes and video and phone calls" and the GOP only gets mildly concerned and puts him up for 2020.

Sure, an 800lbs demon pig with two foot long tusks isn't normal but I sure as poo poo wouldn't want to encounter a boar even a third that size unless I'm doing so from about 20ft up in a tree that it can't knock over, and I have a high powered rifle.

Boars are loving dangerous and I'd rather come across most kinds of bears than a boar while out in the woods, let alone places where their numbers are enough to be an actual menace.

Likely true. Most Senators have shown about as much appreciation for the ahca being put on their plate as people do when their cat brings home a half dead bleeding animal, drops it on the nice rug, and then vomits on it. They know this is poison, they know what it's like being in the minority and know they are not far from it, and just want to do some tax cuts. They don't want to put their seats and majority on the line for this.

I know what she means. But no way she can't help but being a little giddy about the possibility.

I don't know if it would be for the best though. A Dem gets it after investigations go like an impossible dream and that would be all the proof that everything was just a conspiracy to steal the White House from it's rightful winners. Republicans could run off the fumes of that forever.
