I think this somehow ends up passing

This is exactly what the Freedom Caucus wants, so yeah... Probably.

Of course, no one else wants this shit. So now it's extra DOA in the Senate.

 

[metalslimer]

lol Murkowski, Collins, and least 1 more will not vote for that shit

 

[Officerrob]

HFC holds all the cards, and they will get what they want to get it out of the House

 

[kirblar]

That's not all:

You can count on one hand the number of things Republicans -- including Trump! like about ACA and promised to keep intact, and number one among them was pre-existing conditions. They've said over and over again for months that they're going to keep that. The fact that they're considering gutting it now in order to pass the bill is unbelievable in its hypocrisy.

It's also incredibly stupid politically. Shit like this helped us make 2006 happen. By all means, try again!

That's coming in parts B and C, duh!

Trump just wants to sign something, he would pimp out his daughter to be able to say he got rid of Obamacare. The details don't mean shit to him

 

[Diablos]

lol Murkowski, Collins, and least 1 more will not vote for that shit

At this rate who knows?

Cotton and Paul will probably end up voting for it.

 

[Bonen no Max'd]

I'm skeptical of sufficient Republican senators opposing it if it passes the house. I think the real victory of the Tea Party is not just having its own politicians but it's ability to scare the "moderates" into working with them. Is Portman or someone really going to oppose it?

I'm skeptical of it passing the house, but we'll see.

Which is going to be a problem when he has to run on said details!

 

[NullPointer]

So with all of these changes, when does the CBO score the revised plans?

 

[Tommy DJ]

I can't say that I've seen a policy that literally screams "I want my voting base to die faster".

Hahaha.

He feels he can talk his way around those details, and with how dumb the electorate is, he might be right

 

[Kevinroc]

So with all of these changes, when does the CBO score the revised plans?

After its already been voted on.

They don't care what the CBO says.

 

[Nazgul_Hunter]

New ? CNN reporting that there's info suggesting Trump associates meeting with Russians.

They have people giving the thumbs up on releasing information.

 

[pigeon]

Poor Tiffany.

Droppo the oppo!

If they manage to prove this and Trump has plausible deniability I'm going to explode.

 

[Slizeezyc]

Republicans, why would you intentionally try to F your own base. That's some crazy ish to try and kill something that's not even very unpopular.

 

[CygnusXS]

Oh come on, I have work to do tonight!

 

[Poodlestrike]

HFC holds all the cards, and they will get what they want to get it out of the House

See, what's really funny is... they don't. They really don't. There's only, what, 30 HFC members? If the Republicans could bring themselves to moderate even a little bit, just enough to pull in centrist Dems, that'd be the ball game. Literally the only thing giving HFC power is the Republicans' fear of appearing "weak" on fighting the libruls, but I'd put money on that not even being something they have to worry about in most of their districts.

 

[Y2Kev]

I think there's no doubt it passes. But can they do stuff like get rid of coverage requirements through reconciliation?

 

[Officerrob]

First person to turn gets the best deal, who's it going to be?

 

[smokeymicpot]

CNN dropping this out of no where at 8pm is pretty amazing. Good work.

And it dropping out of nowhere is how you know it's actually worth something

Flynn

 

[Poodlestrike]

No. Doesn't have a direct relationship to the budget. If they were willing to stretch the definition of what budget reconciliation works on to that extent, they'd just nuke the filibuster.

 

[smokeymicpot]

And it dropping out of nowhere is how you know it's actually worth something

Yeah and the panel they have on in general. It is their A team only one missing is Tapper.

This getting leaked to CNN has to be a direct response to Nunes' WH visit.

Once it leaked to Trump's team, there's no choice but to make it public.

 

[Officerrob]

The FBI has information that indicates associates of President Donald Trump communicated with suspected Russian operatives to possibly coordinate the release of information damaging to Hillary Clinton's campaign, US officials told CNN.

Hello Roger Stone

 

[Owzers]

Hello Roger Stone

Never heard of him

I thought that but don't like dropping conspiracy theories.

Especially since it is from US officials.

Republicans: "Yeah but have you heard about how the gays and the nonwhites are destroying America tho?"

The conservative Koch network is promising to spend millions of dollars to defeat the health care overhaul backed by President Donald Trump and top House Republicans.

The network's leading groups, Americans for Prosperity and Freedom Partners, announced late Wednesday the creation of a special fund to support House members who vote against the bill.

Spokesman James Davis says the current proposal doesn't do enough to repeal President Barack Obama's health care law. He says, "We're going to be there to help these people for taking a principled stand."

Davis describes the fund as "seven figures" to provide paid ads and other grassroots support in the 2018 election.

Hadn't noticed from you posting 2-3 times a page that you were certain it was going to pass

Trump: "I barely even know the guy!"

Social safety nets being a necessity for economic innovation (people free to job hop, start small business, etc. since they're not locked into a job for insurance) is something gradually picking up among libertarians.

 

[Mario]

This latest "revelation" by Nunes, isn't that referring to the Russian Mafia investigation in Trump Tower in 2013 or when ever?

How does that come close to Trump's wiretapping claim when that was specifically during and after his campaign and the actual investigation was years ago before he was even running? Why isn't the media (or anyone else seemingly) pointing out the timing difference here?

Or has that investigation been ongoing?

 

[Y2Kev]

Republicans have no intellectual or moral courage. So that's why it will pass.

Gotta give CNN credit not pulling the same shit MSNBC did with the Tax returns.

You mean, acting like a real news organization?

No preamble, no fluff... Just meat. For what could be potentially humongous news.
