So.... huh....?
Let's deflect and make it sound totally worse! Give us money!
So wait. Nunes took it on himself to notify Trump about FISA surveillance? How is that legal? Even if it was "incidental" collections from Trump, it still might involve someone Trump is friendly with.
I wonder, are people going to take the word of a Congressmen, over the the Intelligence Community?
It also basically makes it evidence #1) why an independent investigation with prosecutor powers needs to be done now. The head of the house investigation into Trump just circumvented his entire committee to bring evidence to Trump himself and talked of hings no one in the public is supposed to know about. Forget recusal, the republicans should remove him out right from the committee at MINIMUM because he doesn't actually know how to do his damn job.
Paul Ryan about to find out that John Boehner was pretty good at his job

Sense I'm getting is leadership might still put bill on floor even if they're 5-7 votes shy. That margin is looking increasingly realistic.

this is just damage control

Didn't Ryan not want the position?
Why would you want to be the middle man between completely crazy people and slightly less crazy people?
I have no idea why Paul Ryan agreed to do it. As far as I can tell, Paul Ryan genuinely believes that Randian policies that kill poor people are great, so maybe it was in pursuit of that.
There was zero way forward to selecting a speaker without Ryan. Whole thing was fucked.
Like the only feasible option otherwise was maybe having a weird coalition speaker that the Dems could help approve. It was that much of a mess.

So one theory was Nunes did this so intel community is less likely to share info with the intel committee, meaning less likely to get to Dems.
Was in training all day. Summary of NunesGate?
The Nunes story is officially lit.
So what happens to tax reform and infrastructure if the repeal/replace trainwreck goes the way it looks?
And if tax reform is put on hold, what happens with Wall Street's Trump surge? Will the DOW drop as quickly as it went up?

Pepe sign looks exactly like 👌
So if you see someone using that they are either a Nazi, trying to signal they are okay, or playing the circle game.
Yes it is dumb.
If they can't do healthcare i doubt they can do the others. This is what Republicans were talking about for years, and still couldn't get it done with Republican control. Wall Street is volatile, so yeah it will drop, we are already seeing drops.
To recap:
1) Nunes runs straight to Trump/Ryan with details instead of to the investigating committee.
2) Nunes then politicizes it into a press conference, clearly under the direction of Trump so he can make it appear like Obama actually wiretapped Trump.
3) Nunes admits there were multiple FISA requests out on Trump team.
Again, this sounds an awful lot like something big is there and they're trying to get ahead of it.
What right-leaning policies are things a majority of Americans like?
Was thinking about this today with the healthcare vote tomorrow etc. and all the negativity around it. Many people also say America at large "leans" right, but what conservative policies are actually popular?
Lower taxes? Guns? Do Americans (and people) as a whole just like "cheap and good" things and so that's where they get their stuff to hype people on?
Or is it more just various less popular but more hardcore items that get enough of conservatives together, but it's not really a majority on much? Abortion, immigration etc.?

NUNES tells me he can't show Dem ranking member Schiff any of the reports because Nunes/the committee doesn't have them in their possession
My favorite part:
How does this make any sense whatsoever?
