i'm sure Apocalyptoxians w/ blood moon concerns are a bigger chunk of CBS News' audience than ever before

i'm not here because my parents had more money than yours but by magic and hard work :)

It just now occurred to me to ask: with the WH leaking like...well, less a sieve than say a bucket with its entire bottom removed...how is it that we haven't yet heard any audio of Trump ranting like a lunatic? Is it just too easy to trace back to the original source?

Wow, that Rohrabacher story. Mueller's going to need a bigger boat.

remember when that audio of some GOP rep leaked awhile ago saying that the only guy that loved Putin more than Trump was Rohrabacher? Dude is a joke among his caucus.

(it was audio of some private conversation w Paul Ryan and I forget who else)

still bummed two scoops settled for tillerson :(

I know everyone's talking like it's dead but I'm still kinda concerned a vote is even scheduled tbh, makes me nervous - it's too much of an obvious opportunity for a "spectacular" turnaround or whatever. Remember what happened in the House...

agreed, not over til it's over

tbf I do scream DEATH several times a day

by "some gop rep" you mean the house majority leader?

Yeah, whoever wrote in the midst of their tweetblast that O-Care repeal is like the Terminator is OTM. Gotta keep on crushing and dismantling and melting down and probably time travelling to make sure this thing stays dead.

KIEV, Ukraine — A month before Donald Trump clinched the Republican nomination, one of his closest allies in Congress — House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy — made a politically explosive assertion in a private conversation on Capitol Hill with his fellow GOP leaders: that Trump could be the beneficiary of payments from Russian President Vladimir Putin.

“There’s two people I think Putin pays: Rohrabacher and Trump,” McCarthy (R-Calif.) said, according to a recording of the June 15, 2016, exchange, which was listened to and verified by The Washington Post. Rep. Dana Rohrabacher is a Californian Republican known in Congress as a fervent defender of Putin and Russia.

Although I think at this point I might welcome the evenhanded rule of Skynet to what we currently have.

I really enjoy the daily beast articles like the one Ned linked above but I'm kind of worried they have just one hilarious source who's gonna get caught one day and shut down the whole operation.

And then

Some worried looks from Trump allies in the State Dinning Room when he just promised healthcare premiums will drop 60-70 percent

— Andrew Beatty (@AndrewBeatty) July 19, 2017

lol healthcare premiums have NEVER dropped ever

What a great lunch!

“We agreed that there was not much use in criticizing the Senate while they were going through their process and I agree with that. I just find it interesting to note the number of geniuses serving in the United States Senate,” Rep. Mark Amodei (R-NV) told TPM, after a long pause and a deep breath, when asked how he was feeling Tuesday evening. “Politically it all still needs fixing whether the Senate does nothing, whether we walked the plank or whatever.”

"I just find it interesting to note the number of geniuses serving in the United States Senate" sounds like a dril tweet

Pick a plan, guy!

Trump tells Senate GOP they promised to act on health care, and now is the time. Replace, not just repeal, is best path

— Laura Litvan (@LauraLitvan) July 19, 2017

Bad stand-up routine bombing

Trump jokes that some of his Senate Republican friends may not remain friends, depending on how health care goes.

Please laugh.

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:

https://theintercept.com/2017/07/19/u-s-lawmakers-seek-to-criminally-outlaw-support-for-boycott-campaign-against-israel/

from AIPAC with love

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.

Fall fall fall fall
Into the walls
Jump jump out of time
Fall fall fall fall
Out of the sky
The Dems scream death as OCare dies!

can dana take the fall for two-scoops, diaper don, and trustfund C3PO (j-kush)?

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

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

lol Moodles

a fucking ban on refugees

this country is so disgusting

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"

a fucking ban on refugees

this country's creed has been "I got mine, fuck you" for about 30 years

oh, longer than that

we've ironically hated immigrants since the country's founding

it's a little more grotesque when the children and grandchildren of immigrants go full nativist, tho

first / third wives' husband, too. (marla was born in the US, i think)

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.

— Ed O'Keefe (@edatpost) July 19, 2017

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.

— Katie Pavlich (@KatiePavlich) July 19, 2017

Trump: you can't leave until this gets done, I will roast you on twitter

GOP leaves Washington for the summer

Murkowski says it's no longer clear what the Senate is voting on

— Burgess Everett (@burgessev) July 19, 2017

even more than usual

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.

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.
