boner confessor posted:he has a personality disorder that profoundly cripples his ability to interact with other humans as well as accurately percieve himself. he is incapable of self reflection and probably lacks a coherent internal monologue. it's easy to forget this aspect of his character because it is highly unusual for a senior elected official in a democracy to be elected despite evident signs of mental illness but here we are This means that they're actually removing power from Easy D himself as a damage control of sorts, isn't it?

HappyHippo posted:People have already pointed out that you were wrong about the Dem support, but I'd also like to point out that you're also wrong about it being unaltered. The Senate is changing the bill, but the Senate can't change it too much from whats already there. If they lose the House Freedom Caucus, then the bill can't clear the House when it goes back for the re-vote.

Lote posted:The Senate Democrats can't meaningfully delay the AHCA as in whenever it gets passed, it will go into effect for 2018. Why even give the illusion that the Democrats can kill or meaningfully impact this bill? This turd of a bill should be squarely at the feet of Republicans in Congress and Donald Trump. Let them take credit for something that has 17% support. If they can cause the delay between the time it's unveiled and the time it's voted on they should do it. The more public scrutiny it gets before the vote the more pressure on moderate Republicans. If that isn't possible I agree there isn't much point.

I really enjoy your twitter dump posts because I don't use twitter, but please don't jam the latest cute diminutive dehumanizing term in them. Not interested in a big ol' derail where we all eat each other alive over perceived racism or pontificating on the History of Racism in Asia or explaining why it's fine to call North Koreans, but I realize this is a can of worms.

This makes me angry because it's essentially an admission that the GOP knows what Trump is up to regarding Russia, and is just trying to handicap him from actually doing anything about it because they still want to keep him on as a rubber stamp for their policies. They know he's crooked, they know that he's trying to keep his end of some bargain, but they're too craven to put the country above party and stand up against it.

I do find it funny that Trump still blocks people on Twitter. "Oh, now you won't have the privilege of reading my thoughts and commentaries." Trump posts a typo and it is reported on by every major news agency for three days straight.

Nobody thinks North Koreans have any say in the way their government functions, and I've never heard anyone express hatred for them as a people. Contempt for North Korea has to do with their government, and isn't racist.

Wark Say posted:Mental disorder / disease or not, he's still a wussy, though. He's an insecure bully, and pretty much everything he does springs from that bottomless well of insecurity that lurks deep in his psyche. I don't think it necessarily rises to the level of disease/disorder, but it does compel him to do a whole lot of things that are objectively against his own interest in the name of keeping his self-image intact. In his mind, if he didn't respond to every slight, it would be tacitly admitting, at least to himself, that the slight has merit. It's why everything he does has to be the best, the biggest, the greatest, etc. If it wasn't, it would mean all those people at school who didn't accept him, all those high-society people who snubbed him, all those political talking heads, were right. Obviously, it's not rational, but it does help to frame some of his more baffling actions.

Since they can't stop the AHCA vote meaningfully anyways.
