9th time's the charm!
One could only hope. I'd love to see it. Along with Mike Lee, Ted Cruz, and Mitch McConnell. However, I think he simple saw the writing on the wall with his opponent drastically out raising him for 2018.

How is Karen Handel taking this news of the AHCA revival?
Fixed.
That's cool that's he's so forthright about it (and I'm glad he's getting the message across and that he's doing his job well) but the Democratic party has to more than hip with the young things. I mean I'm probably worried over nothing but I'd prefer they don't turn off older people.

certainly didn't hurt Trump
Going high is nice and all, but it didn't work. Time to do what works.
She's handeling it well
I don't know if "Hey look he dun talk like urs" is really a viable strategy when the base is also different. It's certainly refreshing to see either way

And they would also need 60 votes right? God I hope they take it to a vote.

I'm glad to see they're taking my suggestion of reviving Obamacare repeal every couple of weeks until the midterms. "Well, we're going to have to pull the bill. Turns out we still don't have the votes. But I have a really good feeling about the next time we reintroduce it."

You made me check what ad I was getting on the forum. Some company called My Patriot Supply that sells to preppers.

So he wants to keep spitting into the wind in the face of a government shutdown? Good luck with that

It's time for results, and by that we mean do nothing for a year and a half while her party goes through a civil war, and possibly only hold the job for a year and a half.

Once upon a time I decided to experiment by going to the National Review Online, clicking on the craziest seeming link I could find and then continuing the process. I'm glad that online ad generation was much simpler back then, because I sure ended up at some crazy and disturbing places.

The worst I ever had was when I went onto a site kinda like Alibaba to order some cheap electronics parts from China and the seller I bought from also sold pasties (wut), so for a week or so I only got ads with half-naked women with pasties on
Was fun to explain to the GF

If you don't hear from me in 4 hours please alert the nearest hospital.
Trying to catch one more L before 100 day mark for the record.
Should need 60, I think we're past Reconciliation deadline.
He was way more likely to be primary'd than lose to a Dem in the general.
I think the reason for Chaffetz resigning is pretty simple: he loved zealously investigating Obama over nothing, looked forward to doing the same with Hillary, won't investigate anything related to Trump, and can't stand the heat he's taking for the obvious hypocrisy. He is, after all, a complete coward, so taking the coward's way out of his job seems perfectly in line with his character.

Rant incoming.
Today I learned: Alt Right, Neo Nazis, White Supremacists, and White Nationals are just White Identitarians..And Antifa are literal terrorists.
Context: A FB dumbass commenting on the Berkeley rally/protests
The dog whistling of labeling them White Identitarians. Jesus Christ.
As a Hispanic/Latin man that has many white friends with questionable beliefs, there's a lot of shit I've heard in my day and can say I understand finally the allure of Gamer Gate, Alt Right crap. It's a shield or defense for shitty "I'm not racist, but.." kind of shit I've been hearing since high school.
A bunch of cowards who don't want to ally themselves with racists or misogynists but bend over backwards when said people are coming to power or prominence because minority identities are "threatening" and "violent". And focus way more on the "faults" of the left than ever saying anything negative of the extreme right other than "both sides are bad! See look at what the left is doing".
Summary: "centrist/contrarian/above the fray of politics" should just create a "I'm not racist but" party to hide behind their racist denials.

The AHCA couldn't have gone any worse, so they're trying to muddy the waters and confuse who to blame. Everything they do is for PR purposes to their base, nothing to do with substantive legislation to help average people.
This is great.
This is going to be another Inauguration crowd size fiasco, isn't it?

Honestly, the 2013 shutdown had a lot to do with GOP internal strife. It was just easy to look at divided government and conclude that was the cause. Congress is really no more functional now than it was then. It's really not out of the question.

Do they only need a simple majority in the house/senate to override a presidential veto or a super majority?

It takes a 2/3 majority in each house to override a veto.

I think government will shutdown. Mostly because Paul Ryan is a wimp and he won't bring a bill that doesn't follow the hastert rule.

Would be interesting seeing the spin from republicans on how the shutdown is democrats fault.
