In the grand scheme, I believe Jeb! has come off as much less pathetic than President Pee-Pants McGinty.

ICYMI, 43 senators (incl 14 Dems) would like to make supporting the international boycott of Israel a felony:

Perhaps the most shocking aspect is the punishment: anyone guilty of violating its prohibitions will face a minimum civil penalty of $250,000, and a maximum criminal penalty of $1 million and 20 years in prison....

The bill’s co-sponsors include the senior Democrat in Washington, Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, his New York colleague Kirsten Gillibrand, and several of the Senate’s more liberal members, such as Ron Wyden of Oregon, Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut and Maria Cantwell of Washington. Illustrating the bipartisanship that AIPAC typically summons, it also includes several of the most right-wing Senators such as Ted Cruz of Texas, Ben Sasse of Nebraska, and Marco Rubio of Florida.

this is blatantly unconstitutional, as the ACLU has noted, and will be struck down in the courts if it passes

Gorsuch siding with Thomas and Alito = that stupid executive order is going to stand, isn't it. Maybe Roberts will push for some "it's already expired so we don't care" non-ruling but that's a pretty sad "best-case scenario"

Hardly woah but anyway

WOAH: @SenAlexander, in a scrum aired live by CNN, says "I don't think there are 40 votes" for a repeal-only bill.

More relevant

Rand Paul says talk inside the White House was about bailing out the insurance companies, not repeal. Which means doom for a vote.

Supercreditor (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 19 July 2017 19:11 (six years ago) link

Well I mean over the course of about two days POTUS has publicly backed voting for the senate bill, full repeal with delayed replacement, abandoning the bill altogether, nationalizing the insurance companies, and the elimination of the word 'insurance' from the English language. You get the feeling there's maybe a void of leadership in DC at the mo.

Mandal Envy (Old Lunch), Wednesday, 19 July 2017 19:16 (six years ago) link

lol yeah I was just going to post "Repeal and replace simultaneously! Repeal now, replace later! Let Obamacare die! Now is the time to act!"

I might almost feel sorry for these senators, if they weren't pretty much all beneath contempt.

Maybe it's my vantage point in Canada, but I'm often amazed when somebody's name turns up--most often a Senator--who I just assumed faded out of the picture a decade or so ago.

How are there any functioning adults who've interacted with Donald Trump throughout his life who didn't walk away thinking they'd just encountered maybe the dumbest human being walking the planet?

Like, how is it that ANYONE has EVER taken him seriously about ANYTHING?

(And, yes, I know that the answer is '$$$'. But still. I don't know how there's enough $$$ in the world to deal with such a complete void.)

Later today, CBO and the Joint Committee on Taxation (JCT) will release estimates of the effects of the Obamacare Repeal Reconciliation Act of 2017, which was just made public on the website of the Senate Budget Committee. The estimate of the overall budgetary effects will be published on CBO’s website.

and then they keep making the bill even shittier and more hated! it's really p incredible

Let's say they successfully pass it, what is their campaign strategy? Sorry, constituents, I know you hate this bill, but we had to keep our promise to you?
