Trump, June 2017: From [Covfefe] with Love

Sen. Rob Portman (R-Ohio), who has been pushing the proposal, argued such a move would also make Medicaid function more efficiently. “They’ll get better care," he said. “It’s the right thing for these kids."

lol you fucking weasel

portman is a coward

i tht the house bill was "DOA" etc - but this is basically the house bill??

Not really, in some cases it's worse

yes

man Chris Hayes skewered Michael Burgess, sweat-drenched GOP House member from Texas, for not answering the simple question: if you're so fucking obsessed with the deficit, why are you giving $650 million in tax giveaways to millionaires. GOP congress dude almost keeled over.

What are Bernie Bros up to these days? Just retweeting the same anti-Trump stuff everyone else is?

they joined the DSA 🌹

as should everyone

He must've been a lone different kind of animal. Still gotta watch out for those wolves, man.

yeah, apparently the only problem the republicans have with any legislation is that it's not awful enough. they'll just keep making it worse until it literally replaces hospitals with death camps and then it'll sail right through.

they joined the DSA

and from what I can tell the DSA is moving further and further left as it grows which is A Good Thing imo

what does that mean?

That would mean, among other things, abandoning the notion of transforming the Democratic party

Someone was asking about this earlier iirc

to be fair the self-pity emanating from those quarters can be overwhelming at times

NYT is FAKE PEWS Raymond

"those quarters" = dems or leftists, rushomancy?

ha ha, i will let the thread fight it out!

fwiw the leftists I know are all mostly just hyped as hell

ok, you've had nearly half an hour, no fight has ensued. i meant "dems".

White people need more oppression imo.

A snapshot that just poured onto the keyboard, and it's bound up in personal life shit. Hopefully a temporary state of mind.

Anyone hearing anything about the GOP healthcare morning meeting going on right now? I was away from the net for an hour :)

Interesting: http://thehill.com/regulation/court-battles/338948-supreme-court-limits-governments-power-to-revoke-citizenship

The Supreme Court ruled Thursday that a naturalized immigrant can’t be stripped of their citizenship for making false statements during the naturalization process that are irrelevant to an immigration official's decision to grant or deny citizenship.

A unanimous court said the government must establish that an immigrant’s illegal act during the naturalization process played some role in acquiring citizenship. When the underlying illegal act is a false statement, the justices said a jury must decide whether the false statements altered the naturalization process and influenced the immigration official's decision.

Trump is expected to answer the tapes question this week.

yeah holding my breath for that and it will just pass and he won't ever answer for the bullshit lies. I feel yea Raymond

Per solid source: at least 3 GOP sens (perhaps more) plan to announce public opposition to McConnell health bill later today. Developing

I'm sorry if I'm giving anyone false hope, but...

Already seeing an explosion of reaction on the hard right/movement conservativeverse (as muttered earlier) trashing the hell out of the bill.

i'm just steaming after reading the NYT summary of the bill so i'll take that for now even though it's chuck todd xxp

This also pretty indisputably cuts Medicaid (changing funding from 'medical inflation' to less generous 'inflation' standards) which means that Trump is breaking a really core promise. He is not rolling back Obamacare expansion, he is cutting it for everyone.

Trump on the Senate health care bill-- says it's "going to be negotiated."

"A little negotiation, but it's going to be very good."

HATCH tells me there are "a lot of differing points of view" on health care bill, which is a "real problem" in pushing it through

"It's much better than Obamacare," Sen. Purdue. on new health bill.

"Why?" we ask.

"I have to go read it."

once the *job creators* are more comfortable, the resulting increase in freedom will make everyone else happier and healthier, too

we elect these people to make complex laws that most people can't comprehend and I don't trust them - we need AI that can read these freaking bills and find the essence

Rs agree that the kludged "health care" bills leave much of Obamacare in place. But passing them will get "Rs repeal Obamacare" headlines.
