Or Spicer could be subtly setting Trump up for future pain due to having to endure this poo poo.

I want to say he's been instructed not to second guess the president, which is why those idiot gibberings "speak for themselves."


On another topic, I'm already prepared to be disappointed by Comey again. He seems venal.

do you think trump has ever in his life apologized to someone with genuine contrition? or taken the blame for anything?

all of this mess is just so incredible because it's self-dick punch after self-dick punch when so much of it could have been swept under the rug with some even faux "my bad" presser or statement to the american people.

like is his pride really so insurmountable that even with water filling the ship he can't sit down behind a camera after some coaching and look sincere and fake an apology for one second? it's absolutely unreal that even on some level of some kind he doesn't think he's loving up

His remaining base will. It makes it easier to dismiss the accusations. I've already heard mostly vague accusations against Comey's character.

I find it sad how many good games are made by bad people. Rimworld's Tynan Sylvester is also a notorious piece of crap. The company behind the Savage games and Heroes of Newerth (the bad DOTA clone) and Strife's CEO is so bad that you can't, and really shouldn't, google Maliken (his handle). It's just endless slurs.

Barrasso said Republicans are discussing a plan, first pitched in a reform bill authored by Sens. Bill Cassidy, R-La., and Susan Collins, R-Maine, that would set up an auto-enrollment system for basic healthcare coverage.

I think it's the fact that it's essentially an individual mandate, which they made a campaign out of being Socialism and the worst thing ever devised. In other words, it makes them look like the hypocrites they are to have it in their replacement bill.

that's how I'm reading it, too - but the mandate was literally the least popular part of Obamacare.

Auto-enrollment would do a lot to improve the exchanges (if it means what I think it does), but it's the opposite of what they've been campaigning on.

If you don't buy health insurance they enroll you in a plan and garnish your wages to pay for it.

So it is the individual mandate on steroids.

Any ACA that's in any way functional *must* include an individual mandate. It's the only thing that made such a heavily compromised national healthcare system even remotely tenable.

minecraft is just digital legos, it's simple to understand the rules but has enough depth to be interesting and is a decent sandbox for children to be creative and play since you can't troll kids too hard using it (knock over their sandcastle and say mean things via text but no voice chat or ability to follow and harass a player continually)
