Obscure to all except those well-versed in Yuuzhan Vong lore.

For a bill that simply doesn't have the votes. Everyone in the Senate is going to be loving pissed at McTurtle for ruining their vacation for nothing.

I guarantee if something doesn't get passed, even a Potemkin village of a bill, then Trump et al. are going to use him as the scapegoat. It's too easy and makes too much sense not to hang a failure on him.

When the story says 70 people are in the birth control program so far, it's worth pointing out that there are less than ten thousand households, total, in that county, per census.gov.

While I don't disagree in general, that is hardly more than anecdotal evidence. Just because something appears to work in Seattle it doesn't have to work everywhere else. For some kind of statistic significance you would need to have a way larger sample of different cities and villages all across the country.

God bless the ACLU, but yeah, if that's what's happened in a matter of months then a few years of that policy would be impacting a pretty non-trivial fraction of the population there.

Also, 'case anyone was wondering, median household income of $34,901 in 2015 dollars.

After several studies showing no increase in unemployment, and a long history of minimum wage laws having no effect on employment levels, somebody managed to put together a single study that disagrees and WELP guess what study lots of folks are clinging to

A completely partisan paper, written with absolutely no described methodology, was released and flogged endlessly. Even conservative-leaning groups in Seattle said it had little merit, but Seattle Times is a poo poo paper and our local news is all owned by Sinclair.

Here's another datapoint: every single time the minimum wage has been raised, nationwide, in the history of ever, has not increased unemployment

Unfortunately this was the only clip I could find but Sean Hannity did not take news of the Senate health care bill failing well. He kind of got disappointed. You have to skip through this video to find it but it's there and it's worth a listen. I mean it's Sean Hannity shiting on Republicans and being sad.

I'm not sure calling birth control eugenics is accurate. It isn't a terrible idea to entice people who probably shouldn't be having families to not start families. Eugenics as I understand it is more about selective breeding to create some ultimate ideal. This is more about trying to get people who might have poor decision making abilities not to create life they can't take care of and don't want. If it was forced sterilization you might have more of an argument but even then I don't know that is technically eugenics.

I always liked McCain. Sure he’s done some boneheaded things, but I’m not sure it’s possible to spend more than 2 or 3 terms in the Senate and not make political concessions that come back to haunt you.

Senators rarely ever become Presidents for that reason (Obama being the first since Johnson and the first sitting Senator since JFK). Too much political baggage.

McCain has done and allowed some pretty garbage, lovely, terrible, reprehensible things. But nothing that would make me wish a slow and painful death like cancer on the poor guy.

My crazyass MAGA brother lives in Kentucky, maybe I can weaponize him into supporting a primary challenge. I'd probably do it by expressing relief at how ineffective he is, and if he actually goes through with working with Dems to fix Obamacare like he threatened earlier, I'll be all over that, praising his reasonable bipartisanship.

Republicans have a lot riding on the health-care bill and that's why I don't believe it's dead yet. They need this bill to do tax reform. If they don't accomplish this bill they can't do tax reform. A part of me feels they may still be able to pull it out. I know people here hate hearing anyone even suggest something bad might happen when it goes against the feeling of overwhelming victory but we really can't put down own guards and people in red States should keep them hounding their senators with emails telling them they don't like this bill.

Pounded in the butt by my existential dread of the Senate health care bill.

offering it to inmates for a short sentence reduction is trying to select against minority populations, which are frequently and strongly punished with the full force of the law for transgressions real and imagined
