I always wondered how Republicans planned to pass a budget as well as do an ACA repeal with reconciliation. I vaguely recall that Republicans can pass another reconciliation bill after summer recess but that may have been bullshit. So, do they have to roll an ACA repeal and a budget together into one reconciliation bill before summer recess?

AHCA = 2017 budget reconciliation
tax cuts = 2018 budget reconciliation

I'm not sure if they can use the 2019 budget reconciliation before the election though.

quote:

Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) asked about Russian President Vladimir Putin’s covert operation to subvert the 2016 election: “Prior to [the president being inaugurated]—in the campaign up until through the transition—was there ever any meetings that [Trump] showed any concern or consideration or just inquisitive of what the Russians were doing and if they really had done it?”

Sessions replied, “I don’t recall any such conversation. I’m not sure I understood your question. Maybe I better listen again.”

Manchin had picked the right guy to ask this question: Sessions chaired the Trump campaign’s national security advisory committee, and he was a key adviser to Trump during the transition period (and Trump’s designated AG pick). Presumably, Sessions would know if Trump, before or after the election, was seriously examining the Russian attack on the 2016 election.

Machin continued: “You were part of the national security team, so if [Trump] would’ve heard something about Russia with their capabilities or concern about what they could do to our election process. Was there ever any conversations concerning that whatsoever?”

Sessions answered, “I don’t recall it.”

The implication was clear: Trump and his national security team had not extensively discussed—if they had discussed at all—the Russian assault against the United States. This was a damning admission from Sessions.

I really don't understand how you managed to sensationalize the story even more than the mainstream media entity that wrote it and assigned it a headline, yet here we are.

Very little of the actual contents of the article are in any way controversial in the modern democratic party, to be honest. He's really not doing too much blasting here.

I had to stop watching the Sessions hearing right after Cotton(mouth) got the floor with his dumbass, "why aren't the Dems directly asking you if there was Russian collusion!?!?!?" question. (I wanted to smack him just because if nothing else, how would the dude know the answer if he recused himself from the investigation? gently caress Cotton.)

From RightWingWatch

Gohmert posted:

…that there were FBI agents that found the tens of thousands on Hillary Clinton’s email server—not her server but Anthony Weiner and Huma [Abedin] Weiner’s laptop and they realized there’s classified stuff here, there’s evidence of crimes here. The rumor was, that not only that, but that some of them said you’ve got to reopen the case against Hillary Clinton because the evidence is here showing a crime, and if you don’t reopen the case we’re going to resign, we’re going to have a press conference and we’re going to be able to say that the FBI director, Comey, is shielding Hillary Clinton, protecting her, and refusing the allow the evidence. That was the rumor and it seemed to have substance to it and I want to know if it’s true because the Democrats of course got upset that he announced just nine, ten days, whatever it was, before the election, that he was reopening, and I told one the media then. They said, “Well, it really looks like he’s trying to help the Republicans.” And I said, “We’ll know a day or two before the election, because if a day or two before the election, when they have not had adequate time to go through all of the email on those laptops, if he comes out and says, ‘We checked and everything’s clean, everything looks good,’ then we’ll know this was to protect Hillary Clinton not to hurt her, and it will have protected her.”

Also, a lol:

quote:

Gohmert’s speech also touched on other favorite Religious Right themes: that Christians are under attack in the U.S. and that God sent President Trump to give us one more chance to stave off the divine judgment we have earned.

Senator Burr, a Republican, specifically asked the White House to answer the questions. Left unsaid, but very obvious, was "or assert the privilege". And now Trump and Spicer will be repeatedly grilled on it until Trump says no, of course I'm not doing that because it seemed like the correct thing to say at the time.
