TBeats posted:My point is people need to assume the lovely candidate will win and approach it from that perspective, rather than assuming the lack of ability or absurdity of a candidate being reason enough that they should/will lose. I 100% agree. People didn't take Trump seriously until it was far too late, and allowed themselves to get complacent. Any rear end in a top hat celebrity candidate needs to be treated seriously and ground to the loving dirt before they can get any kind of momentum, or else you're inviting another disaster.

Well we've got our first Democratic candidate for president for 2020... https://twitter.com/JohnKDelaney/status/890982917748510720 Lived in his district for a while, met him once. Nice guy, but come on. It's way too early for this poo poo.

Buzzfeed is reporting that a Russian media czar, who died in a Washington, DC hotel room back in 2015, was actually beaten to death in an assassination rather than being drunk and falling over repeatedly, or as they call it in Russia, natural causes. https://www.buzzfeed.com/jasonleopold/putins-media-czar-was-murdered-just-before-meeting-feds?utm_term=.wxZPYqkgV#.omP1zDEak

Duzzy Funlop posted:Pistols at dawn Before Reince knew what was happening, Mooch leaned in and kissed him. Reince’s mind had never felt like this before. It was beyond racing. He wasn’t even thinking anymore. All he was conscious of was Mooch’s warm body leaning into his, their lips and tongues meeting for the first time. Mooch reached up and ran one of his hands through Reince’s hair as they continued kissing. His other was placed firmly on Reince’s thigh. Reince had no idea how long they sat like that. Time had stopped in his mind. Then, suddenly, Mooch was standing. He grabbed one of Reince’s hands and looked at him. He smirked, tugged Reince’s hand, and nodded to the bed.

Duzzy Funlop posted:Pistols at dawn Mooch here is my nomination for "biggest douchebag pose of the year" for now at least. The year is young so I'm sure someone will surprise me but just seeing him standing in a picture makes me think he has a copy of every 80's self help 'power play' book lodged in his colon. Watching him talk on video is just loving awful, every movement is distilled, pure douchebaggery that leads to idiotic poo poo like Donald's 'alpha male' yank and crank handshakes.

TBeats posted:How does this impact tax reform? Largely its just a stupid catch phrase. This chart shows the budget numbers, which make it actually closer to 1/5 to 1/4 if you use our budget spending as the economy. If you are looking at it from what Americans actually spend their paychecks on... The Commonwealth Fund did a study that came up with an average of 10.1%. But as you would expect, that number varies wildly when you break it down by economic class. Just depends on how you want to define the economy. suboptimal posted:Buzzfeed is reporting that a Russian media czar, who died in a Washington, DC hotel room back in 2015, was actually beaten to death in an assassination rather than being drunk and falling over repeatedly, or as they call it in Russia, natural causes. Too be fair. Death by being drunk and falling over repeatedly is a natural death for Russians. But yea. That dude was totally smoked by a Russian hit team.

This may actually result in cases being dismissed against suspects. Trump not only encouraged police brutality, he just hosed the prosecutors.

The Mooch's wife just filed for divorce due to Trump stuff. http://pagesix.com/2017/07/28/anthony-scaramuccis-wife-files-for-divorce/ I know it's Page Six, but still funny as hell. quote:Anthony Scaramucci, the White House’s potty-mouthed new communications director, has been dumped by his beautiful blonde wife because of his “naked political ambition,” multiple sources exclusively tell Page Six.

Ok so I'm unclear on what a next push would be for healthcare reform. From what I've read, the GOP can't push it under reconciliation rules meaning that need 60 votes, which means at least several democrats need to vote yes on anything. How off am I?

From what I've read, the GOP can't push it under reconciliation rules meaning that need 60 votes, which means at least several democrats need to vote yes on anything. That sounds about right. IIRC, they get one reconciliation vote a year or something like that. So now they basically have painted themselves into a corner and won't be able to do this again for a while. They're also kinda hosed on any tax reform they wanted to pull off since it looks like now that won't be doable till next year, before midterms. I mean they can still do some ugly poo poo to healthcare, but it's not nearly as bad as it could have been.
