This could easily destabilize the efforts of the Americans working together with the Iraquis against ISIS. That along with Trumps rants about the oil.

I don't know, I think we handled them here pretty well. Replied to them with measured questions, pointed them to actual facts, and when they said they were all about "the feelings" I, certainly, put them on ignore.
Because, quite honestly, "there are none so blind as those who will not see".
Orange turd and his idiots truly believe that they can rule the world through intimidation. A mobster thinking he can run a country like he runs his criminal enterprise.

Besides all the obvious feelings everyone is having I am especially mad at anyone who ever said "as president, Trump will govern differently" and "campaign rhetoric is just campaign rhetoric".

It's not like they really need to point out what Trump is doing, though
He does their work for them!
I'm pissed off at people still bringing up the Democratic primary during all of this mess.
Trump will govern differently as Duce

It's scary how quiet the Republican Party has been while Trump has been on his path of destruction. The party is truly too far gone at this point if they won't even speak up when the writing is on the wall that Russia and Trump are connected. It is a shame because I truly cannot see the party ever changing if they are willing to go this far to be in power.
Bush 2?

Lindsey Graham doesnt have a problem with this. There will be no republican pushback. What all the optimistic people about Trumps administration being in chaos miss is that republicans actually supprt him
At the very least, they aren't willing to break with him publicly

Why would they speak up? They basically will get somewhat of a pass if they don't speak against his actions. If they do Trump will roast them using Twitter/interviews/etc. and they're afraid they'll get beat in 2018 by a Trump Republican.
It's pretty obvious what's happening. LOL at everyone who thought the congress would hold him accountable on anything when 90+% of republicans VOTED FOR HIM.
This is completely right. 90%+ of republicans support what orange vomit is doing, they are all willingly accepting an extremist ideology.

Currently in a twitter fight with Adam Baldwin.
It sucks that I like him in so many roles.

By reports Priebus is trying to keep the sanity wheels from falling off but at best he is potentially a voice of some reason in a sea of insanity. I mean Historically his position in the White House is extremely powerful but this is not a traditional white house so Priebus likely has almost none of the power his position would typically have.

Like I said before, Priebus is Trump's man servant. Just like Guiliani and Christie were his lackeys doing his bidding.
Yeah Priebus was let in the door to try and seem like Trump was making friends with the GOP. Bannon and Miller have all the power in this White House. Those are the heads of the snake that need to be targeted if there's any hope for a modicum of sanity.

I agree. He's probably the least influential COS ever.
Why do I have this feeling that when the ACA is gutted, part of the taxes to pay for subsidies will instead go towards the wall. It would have hints of populism, you see, because the wealthiest among us would be paying for it.
It plays right into Trump's strange populist line of thinking and poor rust belters will love it.

I wonder if the rumor that he tried to resign is true.

chris cillizza, a political pundit. Kirblar means that anyone who thinks most of Donald Trump's actions are not evil and abhorrent is suspect and should not be listened to
Let's be honest, he wants to be Joseph Goebbels.

Update on town hall if anyone cares:
-turnout was huge, at least double what was at the last meeting
-people were a lot less angry with the party than the last meeting
-calls to action were "fill the environmental committee chairman's email to demand climate change be discussed at all" and "please don't be discouraged and give up when nothing happens"
-anything that gets done will probably be R-lite because lol Idaho
-stopping proliferation of guns is a losing battle so the battleground Democrats are choosing is funding gun awareness and safety campaigns and defending public lands for use by hunters/outdoorsmen
-medicaid expansion is probably dead since the ACA is leaving and we lost the state senator who was its biggest advocate last election
-one guy was super pissed about the gas tax
All-in-all, it was pretty encouraging to see so many people showed up. The median age was really old but there were some new younger people I didn't recognize from previous party events. I also think my state representative is depressingly wasted on this state, she's a young-ish Native American woman with really good speaking skills but she's probably at the peak of her political career right now unless there's a massive influx of liberal professionals into Boise to make it a purplish state like Montana. She could probably win an election in Montana in a good year.

The RNC has the same setup now. The POTUS twitter is connected to a fucking gmail account....
Tariffs just raise prices, because then domestic producers need only undercut the foreign product by the barest of margins. The tariff has to be *very* judiciously designed to offset the price difference between domestic producers and foreign producers. Otherwise they just let domestic producers jack the prices and not have to worry about foreign competitors. It also lowers production worldwide because of comparative advantage.
They're only effective to prevent dumping, which is when a country subsidizes its exports with a specific eye to running foreign competitors out of business (at which point they can hike the price sky-high because now they have a near-monopoly), where a tariff can restore market equilibrium and negate the advantage of the subsidy.
The Oscars are already meritless, so they should toss that Best Actress trophy at Meryl Streep and let her talk for as long as she wants.

I hope she cusses out orange pedophile.

Thought it was just a three second delay? Didn't know they pre recorded the whole half time show.
This is outrageous. Like really what the fuck.

A bit late, but the main reason the GOP wants to keep the filibuster is because of the outright ineptitude of the House GOP. Ryan will absolutely try to get a bill over to the Senate that wrecks Social Security and Medicaid/care and other things like that (which will screw them just like in 2006). Mitch is relying on the fact that Dems will hate this stuff too, and he's hoping that we'll filibuster it to stop it instead of forcing him to stop it.
If he has to stop it, then he (and others) are at risk of getting Cantor'd.

Five year ban on lobbying by administration officials isn't bad, at least!
