Indications accumulating we're going to need a new National Security Advisor.

Pompeo though? He's going to go from head of CIA to being the NSA? That's... a thing.

This may be a blessing to McMaster, since he didn't want the job to begin with. Amazing how Trump has to destroy any potential for dissent.

No, not "eventually" the thing you were originally talking about CAN NOT happen without Congress' approval. Trump can not revoke their healthcare or cut their salaries or anything else you think he can do. Read the Constitution.

Makes sense since Lieberman has always been in the pocket of the insurance industry, and this bill was a disaster for the insurance industry.


Plus Lieberman's ghoulish insistence on His Way or the Highway in 2009 means that Obamacare as it is is as much his baby as anyone else's.

It's true!

https://www.insidehighered.com/news/2016/09/02/outrage-over-penn-state-plan-honor-paterno (From last year but still.)

quote:

According to the documents, a man identified as John Doe 150 testified in 2014 that he was molested by Sandusky when he was 14, and that he reported the abuse to Paterno in 1976. "I don't want to hear about any of that kind of stuff," Paterno allegedly told the boy. "I have a football season to worry about." The documents include several allegations that other Penn State officials ignored claims of abuse against Sandusky for decades, as well.

Let that sink in. Not John Doe, Not John Doe 43. John Doe 150.

Molestation / sexual assault, cover-ups for the rapists :rolleyes:

No, like, you really, seriously don't understand how government works. At all. There's a lot of dumb poo poo Trump can get away with through executive actions, but there's nothing he can do to Congress that Congress can't trivially undo with the stroke of a pen. Even his ability to turbofuck them in the Republican primaries through the bully pulpit is mitigated by the party's control of the campaign fund purse strings -- a threat that might have had more weight behind it had he not just fired the former head of the RNC in a humiliating fashion.

I think Trump is going to get some weird records, things nobody thought to track before. Like number of times he got the entire house and senate to vote lockstep against him. See Russia sanctions.

You can get a coherent narrative out of most David Lynch movies (though not without a few caveats). That anybody thought about plopping the semi-senile dipshit that now occupies the position of POTUS into the presidential race must have been huffing paint after significant blood loss.

Also, Lynch's goofy hairdo makes him look like an endearing dork, while Trump's combover just gets sadder and unintentionally funnier with age.

Going back one news story (which got superseded by Racist Pigshit within 12 fukkin hours, lol), but do y'all think McCain would've voted no without the cancer?

It's fun to consider whether this is a morbid lame-duck move, or seeing the error of his ways, or whether he was planning this since "I prefer heroes who weren't captured"

I love that Trump is almost guaranteed to take the vindictive route and just refuse to put forth the funding for the current health care system out of pure spite. Apparently it's 3 weeks out until the funding has to be put forward. Just impeccable inspiring leadership as always.
