So this wikileaks thing is meant to distract the CIA from going after Trump, right?

Possibly, but also to sow more public distrust in the IC and attempt to give some credence to the argument that Obama had them spy on Trump

sounds about right, maybe voodoo's second thing "give credence to argument that obama had them spy on trump" is a stretch but yea this is definitely about sowing distrust in the CIA

at what point and why did wikileaks become a little arm of the kremlin

Is the hypothesis that Russia hacked the CIA?

So what's the date of these documents, anyway.

Obviously it won't provide any type of proof that Obama did anything, because he didn't, but it does have some documents that illustrate some of their more covert hacking techniques, including one that disguises the country of origin of CIA hacks, It'll provide plenty of material which the conspiracy nuts can try to use to connect dots that aren't there.

Well the thing here is:

A statement by Club for Growth president David McIntosh said “the problems with this bill are not just what’s in it, but also what’s missing: namely, the critical free-market solution of selling health insurance across state lines.”

Now: this is something Trump made a part of his stump speeches, and he said as much in a tweet today, I gather. Combined with there supposedly being two more 'phases' in the plan, it's possible it's mean to surface, but why it didn't surface sooner and why this has been handled the way it has = stupidity abounds, again.

Separately, this struck me as a good read:

http://theconcourse.deadspin.com/you-wanted-just-a-little-bit-of-xenophobia-but-got-too-1793017915

insurance across state lines is moronic. 'oh I got this real cheap insurance from alabama I just need to fly 2,500 miles to see a doctor in network'

insurance across state lines is moronic

It's also directly at odds with the Federalist philosophizing behind the House GOP plan. Per WaPoo:

House Republicans on Monday released long-anticipated legislation to supplant the Affordable Care Act with a more conservative vision for the nation’s health care system, replacing federal insurance subsidies with a new form of individual tax credits and grants to help states shape their own policies.

Which means more of those "invisible imaginary lines" that Trump says inhibit better/cheaper health care.

omg

The "across state lines" thing has been a sign they've been waving around as cure-all since 2006, right? I just remember the continually pointing to it as the thing tying their hands and preventing the market from showering down goodness upon all

30 pages of the GOP plan is just photocopies from a Doc McStuffins activity book

I've got to admit, for the first time since the election I think I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed. Russia stuff, ACA stuff, travel stuff, all at once. It feels like it's been the same day over and over again for a year.

if only we could end it all by falling in love w Andie McDowell

I was to believe that bigger is better?

ps its also easier to tear shit up than to build it whole cloth.

The hashtag of the day for the opposition is #WealthCare, which I like

"Who knew healthcare was so complicated, but we can solve it all with a bill that's smaller than the ACA!"

what did jason chaffetz use $738 of his campaign money to buy at the Apple Store? hmm https://twitter.com/lhfang/status/839173552708280320

goddamn chaffetz sonned in a phone bill beef

He wants to save all Americans from the high cost of health care, and he heard something about apples keeping the doctor away?

This jumped out at me:

In general, the impact of the Republican bill would be particularly severe for older individuals, ages 55 to 64. Their costs would increase by $5,269 if the bill went into effect today and by $6,971 in 2020. Individuals with income below 250 percent of the federal poverty line would see their costs increase by $2,945 today and by $4,061 in 2020.

This is the GOP base why are they fucking them over? Freedom? You'd think they'd at least try to soak young people who never vote for them, but according to the article above they're the only ones 'saving' anything..

Ann Coulter is not pleased!

lmaooooo michael medved skypes in for a question at the wh press briefing what a fuckin joke

@tinyrevolution
Actually, Chaffetz is right: under the GOP health plan, for the cost of an iPhone you'll be able to buy insurance with a $75,000 deductible

In general, the impact of the Republican bill would be particularly severe for older individuals, ages 55 to 64. Their costs would increase by $5,269 if the bill went into effect today and by $6,971 in 2020.

I'm disgusted by this attempt to scare our senior citizens by playing politics with their health. For shame!

Our fearless leader:

“It's a complicated process, but actually it's very simple. It's called good health care ... I think it's gonna go very quickly.”

It's a complicated process, but actually it's very simple.
It's called good health care, but actually it's terrible.
I think it's gonna go very quickly, but actually it's gonna drag out in the courts.

"It's called..." ARGH every moron in the Anglosphere who begins a thought with this... gambit is ALWAYS a weapons-grade fuckwit.

This is just ... weird:

The GOP doesn't give a fuck about its base, who will continue voting for them as long as the party stays right with god on abortion, gay rights and non-whites.

White evangelicals are basically the only demographic Republicans win outright and they're perfectly content to continue getting fucked as long as it suits their ministers' beliefs.

because they aren't being fucked, it's all part of god's plan

they're being loved

lack of health insurance is like a golden shower from god

Breitbart's not happy, calling it worse than Obamacare.
