I no longer know who to root for.

Anyone else think that it’s a bit ironic (and sad) that McCain receives some of the best medical care in the world but then rushes back to potentially remove it from millions of Americans?
Not ironic considering his record. He gives good speeches, then falls in line. Only his mouth was ever a maverick.
The real question is if McConnell is pushing this vote through without knowing it will pass, because Trump wants his enemies list.

On another note, this “feud” between Trump and Sessions smells. If the feud was really putting Sessions’ career in jeopardy, you’d think he’d be spending long hours in Mueller’s office, getting all his paperwork in order for the FBI, and so on. And none of that is happening, nor do I think it will.
I think Sessions is every bit as alarmed by the direction of Mueller’s investigation as Trump, but he doesn’t feel he’s able to circumvent his recusal again to get him fired–possibly because doing it a second time makes the first time look fishier, or because he can’t convince Rosenstein to write another firing memo for himself–so his only option is to get someone in charge of the DOJ who’s not recused. Wait until recess while making loud feud noises, resign, and let Trump do a recess appointment of whoever he wants, and then that guy (we’ll call him Schmudy Schmuliani) can fire Mueller and Rosenstein. Sessions is no longer AG, but maybe he can get re-hired as DAG, and even if he doesn’t, at least there’s no longer any risk of Mueller investigating him, so he’s happy.
Not sure what the defense is against this. I suppose if Mueller was investigating Schmuliani, there may be something conflict-of-interest-wise he could do there, but that’s unlikely–Sessions may feel the need to keep up the appearance of following some sort of legal procedure, but Schmuliani doesn’t. Otherwise it’s pass the investigative baton to Schneiderman, the feds are out of the investigation business for good.
EDIT: I should say the feds will be out of the Trump investigation business for good. They may investigate other things, like a new Pizzagate task force or something.
Schmuliani
I think I see what you did there.
JEDIT: Never mind, I definitely see what you did there, I skimmed, posted, then read. Bad way to do it.
God bless hot mics.
And I’ve got no problem with Collins making fun of Farenthold’s looks, given that he wants to fight her in a duel and sounds like and all-around piece of crap.
Thinnest skin ever. And he’s the President…how does he have time for this kind of nonsense?

Hey, you can watch the dismantling of the American healthcare system in real time!
watching NPR live stream (on FB) of senate vote for discussion of health bill, and some dude keeps posting the dialog from the prequels about darth plagueis. i don’t know if i should laugh or cry. THIS is how democracy dies. i chuckled.

So it happened. McCain returned to the Senate to a standing ovation, and promptly voted to take away millions of people’s healthcare.

No, unless the guy who gave me the idea (Bingowings, I think) was making a reference to that.

Harry Enten’s dog is ADORABLE.
But just think, if that dog were on Medicaid, he or she might not have gotten treatment for say, a urinary tract infection under this new plan.
Sorry; it’s just my state of mind right now.
Harry Enten’s dog is in a death spiral and we must repeal that dog before it collapses entirely.

lol. What a hypocritical scumbag.
McCain should be called McTalky
Jeez. He’s unloading on the confidential and hyper-partisan process of the Senate, but, minutes before, voted to proceed on debate for a bill that was crafted in secret and had no bi-partisan collaboration.

@GoFundMe congrats

it is a whole bunch of talk yes. he did clearly state that he voted yes but will not vote unless lots gets changed. but he still should have voted NO if that was the case, if the bill is so terrible as it stands, why work with it?
Please please please let this happen.

In a world where a person can’t make multiple twitter accounts, being blocked might actually mean something.
Where were you in '77?

Under Twitter’s rules, creating more than one account for harassment or ban evasion purposes is disallowed. (Making separate personal and business accounts is fine under these rules):
Harassment: You may not incite or engage in the targeted abuse or harassment of others. Some of the factors that we may consider when evaluating abusive behavior include:
if a primary purpose of the reported account is to harass or send abusive messages to others;
if the reported behavior is one-sided or includes threats;
if the reported account is inciting others to harass another account; and
if the reported account is sending harassing messages to an account from multiple accounts
(Emphasis added.)
Multiple account abuse: Creating multiple accounts with overlapping uses or in order to evade the temporary or permanent suspension of a separate account is not allowed.
However, Twitter will probably do jack [insert expletive here] to enforce these rules, as they do with every other rule that have.
