Dick Trauma posted:This is just electoral apple polishing. Like all the other GOP shitheads he'll make a big show in the press of his reticence. Sandoval is extremely popular in Nevada and pretty much Trump-proof. He's so popular that Heller feels his best shot at winning re-election is to do whatever Sandoval wants, even if it means opposing Trump. Since he's isolated from outside political pressure, I think Sandoval is free to care about people losing insurance coverage and health care.

Pollyanna posted:Either the GOP constantly trips over their dicks with this bill, or everything's a done deal and pushback is entirely for show. Which is it? They are bumbling idiots that are clutching the reins of power while trying to figure out which end of the horse goes in front. People confuse their clumsiness with internal division and lack of will. Don't. They have plenty of will to do terrible things to this country but goddamn they are loving idiots without any leadership beyond whichever shithead on any given day gives the worst soundbite.

Eh...the only reason this loving thing is actually a danger right now is that McConnell, unlike a lot of other figures in the GOP at the moment, is very good at his job.

Rigel posted:Sandoval is extremely popular in Nevada and pretty much Trump-proof. He's so popular that Heller feels his best shot at winning re-election is to do whatever Sandoval wants, even if it means opposing Trump. Sandoval is also willing to ignore conservative dogma and do the right thing from time to time. He's been particularly good on LGBT issues signing a bill banning job, housing, and public accommodation discrimination against transgender people, and another bill requiring child welfare and juvenile detention facilities to treat children in their care by the gender or gender expression with which they identify. Also welfare workers and foster parents are to get more training as well.

Well, think of the state Sandoval is governor of. There's a very large city that's a huge international destination that the state can't afford to demolish with Kansas policies.

The gimmick posters won't stop because they catch something every drat time. Seriously though shouldn't posting a completely made up article in a blatant bad faith trolling attempt merit one hell of a probation, a ban, or at the very least a restriction to only being able to post in the Fiction thread in Creative Convention?

Space T Rex posted:I'm 25 and until this election I was very much so in the "nothing matters, my one vote is useless, all candidates are basically the same in the sense that they serve money and not us anyways" camp. Trump definitely opened my eyes to the fact that even if you think that way, you can still vote for damage control. So I'm becoming a big boy and getting more into politics and trying to get involved but I have some questions about the tone of the entire system. There is good in this world and it is worth fighting for.

It's the free market deciding not to give Ann Coulter her extra seat because of her pre-existing condition of being tall. She should be ecstatic.

skylined! posted:if comey's already shopping a book deal you gotta think the investigation is a few months from being finished I would think this, except that the investigations seem to be behind the news media, at least in regards to the stories the news media drops. There's no way to know if the FBI, CIA, Mueller, Senate intelligence, House intelligence, or other financial crimes investigations know about entirely different things that the media has no inkling of.

Leon Trotsky 2012 posted:Honestly, it would be kind of hosed up if the AHCA/BHCA didn't pass. The rest of the U.S. should not have to suffer or bear the brunt of the consequences for a small group who refuse to listen to their constituents. States like MN and CA, which bleed blue and essentially prop up and support the red territories around them will be utterly destroyed and unable to stand from the BHCA. MN itself is basically all healthcare.You have Mayo Clinic and Duluth is almost entirely healthcare positions. It will turn once thriving states into wastelands.

Space T Rex posted:For those of you who have actually been through this a million times already - how bad is it? What I'm getting at is, how reliable is ANYTHING? Are there actually any reliable good-guys out there in the media or in politics at all? The people don't matter. The parties do. Think of all the things that the government has done in the last 100 years. Separate them into good and bad. You'll find that 90+% of the good comes from Democrats and 90+% of the bad comes from Republicans. That's enough for me.
