It is weird, although I would (perhaps misguidedly) assume that they have some sort of rules for the classic meaning of the word, i.e. stealing people for the sake of physical or sexual slavery. They might not have rules up for this, which would more be illegal immigration.

The Glumslinger posted:"gently caress everything that helps poor people and women" -The Bill This one is aimed more at women and the middle class than it is at poor people. Doesn't touch Medicaid, but potentially destroys the individual market and sends up premiums for everyone else. There's absolutely no sense in this, even from the hosed up perspective of a Republican. They're doing it entirely so that they can say they're doing something about Obamacare. Edit- Also repealing the mandate is the kind of thing that people will notice and potentially accept as a good thing, because a lot of people won't put two and two together and reach the conclusion that a mandate repeal is affecting their premiums.

If Trump fires Mueller it's the end for him, says Graham Whoa, I though this was some creative interpretation but Graham says that with all the words, and even worse. Pretty substantial threat here.

I can't find it but I remember a goldmined thread that must be 5-10 years old where a goon wrote letters pretending to be a kid to I think Staples and other department stores and got free stuff. The letters were hilarious and I remember one particular line where the kid who was supposed to be writing the letters said something about his dad not having a job because of the "juice conspiracies" - I remember that line in particular after all of this time because of how strikingly funny it was in its context. If we could get the Trump press corps to bite and read out a similarly faked letter it would be legendary.

Worst case, bill passes and the crisis gets funding. Best case, bill dies and ACA lives.

Because the opiod money will go to a pharmaceutical company to pay for R&D to develop a new opiod that has less of a risk of overdosing, which will ultimately do nothing to help the epidemic.

That opioid money is their way of holding something up to say 'See? I care! I got this out of the bill!' while doing pretty much the opposite of help. Political cover, basically.

Because they promised their moron base for 7 long years to repeal the ACA after convincing them it was a horrible bill and whipping them into a frenzy. It worked out pretty well for them, but the reckoning has arrived. They either repeal the ACA and try to justify throwing millions of Americans into the ranks of the uninsured, or they expose themselves as lying frauds. This coward is trying to find a rebuttal, "but wait, look at all the good things I did for the opioid crisis, and I'm sure we'll figure out an answer to the death spirals! Please don't throw me out, I'm a good senator, promise!"

The opioid crisis is a crisis of white youth, mainly, so Republicans aren't as hostile to helping them as "welfare queens."

The only thing that matters is the very last thing McConnell slaps on the table. Everything before that will be maneuvering and theatrics. When he says "THIS is the final vote on the matter," then it's a straight question of admitting defeat or showing those loving liberals who is in charge. If they fail at this, it's probably the biggest single thing they could do to show weakness that both their base and donors will find intolerable. They can't afford to NOT pass a bill today, no matter who or what else gets hurt. Robot Hobo fucked around with this message at 17:12 on Jul 27, 2017 |

It is a good thing to remember that they are so desperate to get this healthcare bill done because it would be the only thing in half a year that they actually "accomplished". Taxes are a nice byproduct.

Taxes are a nice byproduct. Let's also not forget that they're perfectly willing to permafuck health care and health insurance in this country because they've spent nearly a decade saying "OBAMACARE'S GONNA ~IMPLODE~ JUST YOU WAIT AND SEE WE'RE SMART AND KNOW THINGS" and now that they've finally been able to plant the explosives, when it collapses they'll  like  , knowing that their base will blame Obama for their rising premiums, because the Democrats are utter dogshit at explaining things without something that has ten addenda and can be used as a free weight.
