OMFG, this shit is just unreal anymore.

Portman is a "no"

he just issued this less than an hour ago:

"I’ll review the text of this new legislation just like I did the last version, and I will review the analysis from the Congressional Budget Office when it becomes available on Monday."

how is he already a firm No?

He would be tied for 4th in shortest presidents if he ran and won...
But judging from my IRL encounter with him, I think his claim of 5'7" is pretty generous.

WaPo:

Portman, who came out against the original draft of the bill, also said he was opposed to taking a vote at this point. “I’m in the same position I’ve been in, looking at the language and looking forward to the analysis,” he said.

too bad Rubio already took Little as a pejorative nickname.

Tiny Mark Zuckerberg?

That's three.

evol j, of course, I'm just speaking out of my ass, I can't really know what these idiots will do. But Heller stood on stage with Sandoval and said he would do what's best for Nevada, and McConnell put absolutely nothing in there that made it better for Nevada, so as Sandoval is saying he is concerned, it is pretty likely Heller will vote no. The main difference between now and in the house was that people in the house could vote without a cbo-score, and with the idea that the senate would fix it. This time there's nothing to hide behind.

Though McConnell reportedly tried to say that the medicaid cuts would never come into effect anyway.

considering it would be pretty generous to list me at 5'7" too this is the first thing that's made me like Tiny Mark.

this bill is a moving target and there's weeks to go so it's definitely premature to say anything is "dead" until McConnell drops it entirely from the legislative schedule.

Humblebrag! Now that's something you'd never hear from a Trump, sr or jr :)

Per @maggieNYT pool note, WH omitted this key part of Don Jr comments from Trump: "In fact maybe it was mentioned at some point" pic.twitter.com/Dgw8MALfCp

Sure. But at some point it's going to be pretty obvious that they can't do it, and then they will stop running their heads against the same wall.

Not saying that is necessarily now. But this draft is such a weak one, and was shut down so quickly, that it sure looks as if they can't get it done.

ha WaPo's put their whip count up and now the "no"s are back to 2, with 6 "having concerns" so maybe they were a bit overzealous in interpreting Portman's statement

they will stop running their heads against the same wall

when has the GOP ever done this

maybe it was mentioned by norquist at some point

i'm skeptical

trump's personal lawyer for russia stuff is a pretty cool guy

https://www.propublica.org/article/marc-kasowitz-trump-lawyer-threat-emails-maddow

lol "Have you heard from Marc Kasowitz, or do you have any information about his firm? Contact Justin at jus✧✧✧@propubl✧✧✧.o✧✧ or via Signal at 774-826-6240."

this doesnt do much to dispel that article from earlier in the week about how he cant get a security clearance bc hes a drunk asshole

mini mark zuckerberg is obv the correct answer here folks

as others have mentioned, it's bizarre to think that kushner is going to work today with his security clearances and insider position still intact.

what can be done in the short-term? obviously the republicans will do nothing. the democrats seem to be content to let the mueller, senate, and house investigations run their course, which will of course take ages. meanwhile, there is proof that kushner is full of shit. am i naive to wish that democrats would demand, at a minimum, that he gtfo the white house? are they doing that and i'm not just not seeing it anywhere? is dem opposition pointless (ie does it take a mob of people outside the WH with pitchforks to scare them into doing something)? did they just assume kushner would resign in shame but forgot that no one involved in this story has any shame?

as others have mentioned, it's bizarre to think that kushner is going to work today with his security clearances and insider position still intact.

this is exactly why there should be rules against nepotism in government

am i naive to wish that democrats would demand, at a minimum, that he gtfo the white house?

lol if there's one thing Trump will do it's cave to the demands of a bunch of powerless Democrats

this is exactly why there should be rules against nepotism in government

there are

they are being flauted

flouted even

i'm trying to imagine a hypothetical scenario that would lead to his immediate ouster. if kushner just straight up murdered someone on live television, then...would he be arrested? or would everyone just add it to the pile for mueller to investigate and patiently wait it out?

someone is playing a flute at the rules

xp: depends, is this hypothetical murder victim black?

lol if there's one thing Trump will do it's cave to the demands of a bunch of powerless Democrats

sure, but...i mean shouldn't they at least put on the table the very obvious thing, that kushner should gtfo, just so that maybe the people they ask to vote for them every 2 or 6 years will realize that they're on the same side?

sorry, ridiculous question, they should continue to not say much

xp: depends, is this hypothetical murder victim black?

just for fun let's assume the victim is a straight christian white guy with 3 kids

they are being flauted

this is what happens when you get a bunch of lyres in the white house

not that we should stop harping on about it tho

If I married Jared, maybe he wouldn't work at the White House anymore.

alfred we need you to be a patriot, take one for the team

Bottomz 4 Jared

lol

a bunch of GOP Senators would call it a "deeply troubling" situation and then move on with their lives

meanwhile the Hannitys and Inghrams of the world would openly ask what kind of person just lets themselves get murdered on live television

Conway and Sanders would probably claim that Kush was actually trying to save the man's life, but the dishonest media's cameras just made it look like murder

then a day later Trump would tweet out "Congrats to my son-in-law Jared Kushner for literally murdering a guy"

many people would have done this murder

McCain would grumble then attend Jared's swearing-in as atty general

what if kush murders mccain? genuinely conflicted tbh

lol well done guys

they are being flauted

Trump Tower has the best flautas.

I almost wonder what Gorelick's up to with all this, honestly.

Anyway, isn't this a classic sign of weakness according to Trump -- an actual apology?
