“I think we’re in a time when we can’t ignore the extremism from the Left,” said Oren Segal, the director of the Center on Extremism, an arm of the Anti-Defamation League.

Asked if America’s standing on the global stage was better under Barack Obama, McCain, a fervent critic of the previous administration’s foreign policy, responded: “As far as American leadership is concerned, yes.”

Pence hires outside counsel to deal with Russia probe inquiries

If everyone else there isn't getting their own counsel by now, they're fools.

DNI Coats spent nearly 4 hours talking to Senate Intelligence Committee today. That is an unusually long meeting.

That or those were some really strong cocktails.

Like I mentioned before, the second Trump's lawyer told everyone they didn't need lawyers is exactly when they should have gotten lawyers.

I then heard there's a further trick McConnell is considering which could give only 2 or 4 hours TOTAL including debate. Here's how . . .8 pic.twitter.com/jzjgAovMWT

jfc

it's interesting that the sole rationale McConnell is going to have to get his caucus to vote for him is party unity and literally nothing else

him

this bill

it's a shame Mitch doesn't play baseball

just as the founding fathers intended

not supported by a single state

Nobody has seen it. Who knows, maybe after it passes it will turn out they actually like it!

whaddya want, a dictatorship of the majority?

does anyone like AHCA other than (some...most?) insurance companies?

i mean, the people who dislike it the most will die first.

I really don't get it. Slam through a mystery bill that no one will like for ... what gain?

is this scoop even real or is it yet another one of those baseless tweetstorms

big donors? xp

i guess the most hardcore of trump's base will like it too, meaning the people who still believe him even when all he says is stuff like "we're going to have great healthcare, the best, you'll love it" and nothing else

If Trump were smart he'd just keep saying that and not bother pushing for any legislation at all.

You know what else I don't get? Of all the dirty people tied to Trump, doesn't Pence seem ... the least dirty? Why would he be the first to lawyer up?

they need to slam this through in order to make tax reform "work", i think

does anyone like AHCA other than (some...most?) insurance companies?

People who are very very rich and wish to pay lower taxes like it. That's it. I don't think insurance companies particularly like it.

one of the narratives among young brainwashed Pubs is "this bill gives people 'choice' without realizing that the "choice" it provides is utterly useless (you can buy insurance in other states now! whose network is only in that state! meaning all out of network costs or you're paying up front for everything and everything over REasonable and Customary charges/!!!!)

it's like saying "you have the choice to buy a truck with three wheels when previously you weren't allowed to"

"as a blanket thing i should say that my attitude has become a fair bit more morbsian post-election than it was beforehand.
i figured that hillary would be a mediocre-decent dem president; now i'm near convinced that the hold the clinton wing has on liberalism in this country is completely malignant. (granted this is an impression gleaned from social media where conflict and stupidity are maximized)"

It's fair to say that the election has broken lots of brains and that website doesn't help. Look at the replies anytime Bernie tweets that he thinks Russiagate is a legitimate issue, it's a litany of conspiratorial "sir you have betrayed your legacy!" anger from the segment of his supporters on the "anti-anti Trumpism" side.

Or "you used to have to go to an adequate public school for free but now you have the choice to either go to a dangerously underfunded public school for free or a fundamentalist indoctrination academy at half price -- two choices, better than one choice!"

yeah insurance companies don't like it either. it exists solely because rich fucks don't want to pay for ACA subsidies.

insurance companies did pretty well from the ACA

They want to give people the blanket freedom to not have health care by taking away health care.

They are granting freedom from the bonds of life, we will soon all be free to die in the streets

Only if you want! (Unless you have no choice.)

McConnell's got multiple reasons for pushing this - notch a legislative "win"/fulfill longstanding GOP promise, facilitate the tax cut that they *really* want, and kill the poor.

P simple.

insurance companies did pretty well from the ACA

Not so much. 2016 was considered a good year for the individual market cause the best companies only had losses in the millions instead of hundreds of millions.

Well the alternative to the ACA is to fucking get rid of insurance companies so I think they like most of it..
