Big shit always just drops.
Something tells me the IC is going crazy too with all the constant moves Trump's associates are making in response to various things.

So about that Tillerson trip to Russia...
Yeah but was this before or after Trump said he's willing to work more closely with the freedom caucus as we saw in that tweet a couple hours ago?

I meant they released it on tv and online at the same time. Used to them just dropping it online and then tv.

That uh is the opposite of what it's saying though? They're donating to stop it because they don't think it goes far enough to destroy the ACA.
He's switching his ticket from round-trip to one-way.

He said there was no evidence Obama ordered or had Trump wiretapped. He did not say Trump or his associates were not under surveillance from a legally obtained FISA warrant
This is the exact challenging dynamic that always existed for the bill. Make conservatives happy, push the Senate away. In this case they're making it impossible to clear via reconciliation.
I think it passes the house now, impossible to see how it gets anywhere in the senate.
Maybe Ryan shugs and say "oh well, time for tax reform"?
This shit ain't a good look though......

So basically, Comey fucked up the Hillary Situation but has been actively working against Trump?
Fuck it, I need a time machine to see how this is all viewed in 30-40 years

Might as well come to grips with these two now:
The healthcare bill is passing the House
Gorsuch is being confirmed

I'm not sure why they think the filibuster won't get nuked next time they have a chance? It's either now or later and the outcome is the same.

Woah boy, they thought the CBO report was bad with the first draft. Add in these two doosies and uhh... yea. RIP bill in the senate.

Nothing resembling this bill passes the senate then dies in the house.
I have a feeling this period is going to be very tough for historians to research.
It is hard enough to follow here and now, and that's with a general idea of which sources are credible and which aren't. How will someone decades from now piece it all together?
CBO needs to add a "number of deaths caused" metric to their next report.
I don't know. If they can figure out a way to bypass the Byrd rule... they seem to be thinking they can

They are so fucking stupid.
I'm done if this happens.

Best case scenario: AHCA passes the House, every democrat votes against it, and then the bill gets destroyed in the Senate.
Ads for 2018 campaign are basically written at that point. "Joe Republican voted to take away your (fill in important health care here)."

When will Dems learn?. Never trust Republicans.
What would stop the Republicans from going back on this when the time comes?
Fucking morons. They just don't learn. They never fucking learn.
Zero. Democrats are playing politics as usual, I guess they forgot who sits in the WH right now. Idiots

Never make a deal with the GOP. They will just screw you over.
Got me. I am legitimately mystified.

I feel like our elected officials are just too nice. Like Ginsburg being best pals with Scalia (who was a human shitstain who loathed the existence of various minority groups but I'm sure was good company other than that), I think they get too cozy with people in certain settings but forget that such deals will actively fuck over massive amounts of people.
Fuck. These. People. The GOP is a hostile entity that deserves nothing but derision, and in a lot of cases, prison.

McConnell actually strikes me as the type of person that keeps his word. He's a shithead but he thinks he is a member of the most exclusive club in the world and that he's an old school dealer. He liked Biden for example...and not Reid.
I'm not saying it's a "good" deal, but again 'bustering is for optics. If anyone thinks they won't go nuclear just for SC nominations, you cray.

Why is it passing the House best case scenario when those ads can still be made regardless of passage? The bill dying in the House would be a total defeat and embarrassment for Tump. I want that.
... Right. So they'll just do it during the next confirmation. McConnell is completely spineless, what more do we need to see at this point?
He's already caved at the prospect of even using the nuclear option because Trump leaned on him.

McConnell doesn't want to nuke it, and Trump's approval #s are low enough that we should just filibuster and force a fight they don't want.
