Yet where is that woman now? Tell me, in what heave does she reside? None of them. Because no God bothered to listen or care. If that is what you think it means to be a God, then you and all your teachings are welcome to do as that poor women did. And vanish from these realms forever.

So, she must have chosen "yes." Like, there is no reason to remain quiet otherwise.

Reminder that Trump is going to start a pointless war that will guarantee him a second term as people keep repeating the phrase "don't change a horse mid-stream" no matter stupid and disastrous the administration becomes.

Also, Mooch is going to kill a reporter with a tire iron.

Basically this scene:

Mooch is a pitbull, he's been hired specifically because he's a take no prisoners rear end in a top hat. This is a man who cannot help himself and now that he's in a position of service, and not power, he will make so many enemies that he'll be gone in 6 months.

You can't sustain this amount of abuse towards people you have no actual power over. He doesn't scare anyone except his staff.

He's only gone if he falls out of favor with the big man.

The phrase "Boundless cowardice" popped into my head earlier today. I think it fits.

Also, wouldn't she be saying what her decision is DURING the vote, rather than after?

Murkowski is almost certainly a no, Capito may be a yes.

That they both have the same answer to ambush hall reporters is suggestive but not sufficient.

I think the most amazing part of Trump's graft is that everyone else pays him to get to suck his dick. Most fuckboys like that dispense their own wealth to buy loyalty, but he's managed to somehow finagle it so others pay him for the privilege of giving him their loyalty.
Basically a pyramid scheme.

Some profoundly stupid part of me wants to see the House immediately pass it, within like an hour of the Senate doing so, just to see it happen. Just to know every GOP senator got loving outplayed by Paul D. loving Ryan.

This is pages back, but it's become a pet peeve of mine: cognitive dissonance is the mental discomfort that comes with holding contradictory beliefs.

People try to alleviate this discomfort in various ways, such as
-overcompensating, as in the case of vehemently anti gay Republicans who get caught in same sex affairs
-projection, as with Donald Trump
-justifying/rationalizing why there is no conflict, that the conflict is unavoidable, or resolving it would make things worse.
-denying factual reality and spending your days in a bubble universe where people who point out your hypocrisy are the real enemy

Having self awareness and admitting the conflict does not in any way make it not cognitive dissonance. Nor does it make sense to read about a huge hypocrite and say "geeze this guy has so much cognitive dissonance."

Huh, didn't knew that.

Thanks for the explanation.

Paul Ryan will not own his behavior through overt action. He will cloak his teachery in failure; that is his nature. His play is to have a conference have it catch fire around him and then shrug.
