So wait, did the Donald actually sign some executive order banning trans people from the military? Or did he just make some inflammatory tweets? Skipping a lot of posts. Which I'm sure Ed Balls would never do.

Skinny repeal as discussed is literally the mandate penalties.

That's it.

trump wants full fascism but is too stupid to actually accomplish it, so the usa gets lovely half-fascism

trump himself has kneecapped all of his attempts to go full hitler

Counterproposal: The US president and the people who voted for him are collectively so stupid that, for the first time in history, a country will embrace fascism by accident.

People continue to operate under this horribly misguided idea that if you're an incompetent idiot that you can't advance a deeply autocratic and fascist agenda, but all historical examples of fascist dictatorships were populated by impulsive and incompetent idiots. You don't need to be smart, you just need to have power and the relentless need to wield it over marginalized people.

the ultimate question is if they can get Paul to vote for something that leads to BCRA/AHCA. Idk.

I think Collins and Murkowski are gone regardless.

If Pence appears on the Senate floor, it is going to conference. There is no doubt that they are going to hit the smallest amount of yes votes available.

That would be the 5th tie breaking vote Pence has had to do in 6 months which is more than what many VPs do in 8 years.

i'll keep saying this, the point of skinny repeal is not to pass and go into effect. It's to pass and then go to conference and craft the actual bill with the house and then try and jam both houses with it as quickly as possible

It's another punt.

Nothing official known but it's being taken as the clearest sign possible that such an order is coming any time now.
