Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-La.), one of more than half a dozen GOP senators who have raised concerns the impact of proposed Medicaid cuts in their states, said Wednesday that it remained impossible to predict if a refashioned bill could change enough members’ minds.“That is an existential question, and it’s very hard for me to answer existential questions,” Cassidy said.
“That is an existential question, and it’s very hard for me to answer existential questions,” Cassidy said.

she's doing a great job of doing a terrible job. among the people explicitly hired to do a bad job, though, she has tough competition. scott pruitt is a fucking beast, man. he not only hates the agency he leads with a burning passion, but he has the knowledge to know exactly how to burn it down. but like i said it is very tough out there, lots of elite competitors in the game here, must see administrative breakdown on a daily basis, it is truly the golden age of self hatred

rick perry coming in strong, though, look out!
Perry caught flack last week for denying that carbon dioxide is a primary factor in climate change, something that reporters pressed him on again today. But over several questions, Perry’s response was far from clear. “The climate is changing, man is having an impact on it,” Perry said, expressing frustration that “we can’t have an intellectual conversation about just what are the actual impacts.”

When you consistently piss all over propriety for the entirety of your adult life and the world's reaction is basically a net positive (no serious or lasting consequence but plenty of reward), I don't know what possible impetus you could have for doing otherwise.

Trump going straight up ad hominem with the nicknames has always been bad, this seems another step in that direction
I know we don't want to go lower, but can I just point out this is a man who looks really, really bad

I've idly thought this before but I believe with increasing firmness that Trump's supporters almost see him as some sort of GTA avatar. 'Awesome, that's totally what I would do if I were in charge and could unleash my id without any consequence! Give 'em hell, Donnie!' Except there's the whole thing where this isn't a videogame and the consequences Trump avoids are being suffered by whatever basic notions of civility and democracy we continue to cling to.
