If it makes you feel better getting rid of Obamacare is going to piss off a lot of people and at this point I think the issue is going to be a sticking point until someone puts in single payer.

LaserShark posted:He's also going with the 'Comey leaked' narrative, which was debunked about two minutes after his lawyer said it. Because of course he is. I can't really keep track with the right-wing Collective Rage Id, but I believe 'leaking' has been agreed upon as the most heinous of crimes that exists. Moreso than, say, colluding with a foreign nation to win an election.

TheScott2K posted:Conservatives have their orders. They have all begun the process of not knowing what the gently caress a leak is. Every time someone talks about how Comey "leaked" his unclassified memos... bring up how Chaffetz "leaked" the unclassified memo from the FBI to the chair and ranking members of the congressional oversight committees about reopening the Clinton investigation. You can't take the tack that Comey did this and is therefore in violation of the law without also believing Chaffetz should be in jail.

The first [Potentially same, I mean there is a bucket over his head] Lord Buckethead ran against Margaret Thatcher in 1987. Do you know what that means? Lord Buckethead has more political experience than Donald Trump.

AJC poll of likely voters this morning (Atlanta's newspaper) Ossoff 51 (+7) Handel 44 Ossoff has a solid majority among young voters, Handel has a narrow lead on voters over 65. 13% of Republicans and 50% of independents are with Ossoff. Only 3% of brain-damaged democrats are with Handel. http://politics.blog.ajc.com/2017/06/09/ajc-poll-ossoff-opens-lead-over-handel-in-georgias-6th/

Also we did just see a massive electoral upset (even if May managed to narrowly crawl into a minority coalition) due to 'Oh poo poo wait the youth actually turned out for better wages n' poo poo' last night in the UK.

LEAKER is going to become the next FAKE NEWS. They'll use it as a tool to bend reality. FAKE NEWS was a way to discredit outsiders reporting the goings on within, now LEAKER will be used as a way to discredit insiders. I don't know what the next level would be from the admin. You can't trust yourself? You can't trust me?

One of the better cases of progressives managing to define the phrase used for an issue to score a messaging win. The GOP doesn't have a good snappy way to make opposition to it sound good so they either have to go into a long response explaining why it will hurt the almighty job creators or sound like a ghoul saying they oppose a "livable wage".
