No. Legislative filibuster is too important of an excuse/deterrent for both parties. And Trump is in no position to tell McConnell anything.
Regular reminder that right wing media doesn't care about anything as long as it suits them

I'm pretty sure Trump thought being president would be just like his businesses. He'd tell Congress what to do and they'd obey him without question. Realizing just how limited his power is has to be killing him inside.
Saw on my FB feed a video compilation posted by Maher of all the times Trump called Warren Pocahontus.

Trump says "we have a lot of ppl standing outside" and he "broke the all time record" in this arena. There are rows of empty seats here
@JonathanTamari
Thing is, there IS a big crowd here. A loud and excited one. POTUS could easily - and truthfully- talk about that. But has to claim more.
He just can't help himself.

Anyone have or seen the story about Trump campaign paying Russian hackers? Pretty big story.

This seems like it should be huge
He was still talking about "repeal and replace."
This is why the healthcare people I follow on Twitter (like Topher Spiro and Andy Slavitt) were talking about calling GOP reps and scaring them into not even thinking about supporting Trumpcare. We know Ryan and his ilk are trying to put pressure to pass this crap.

Isn't this the same dossier? It's just saying that Steele gave the information to the U.K. Government as well.

So it seems like the Alt-Rights new genius plan is to make up a new White Power symbol, then all show that White Power symbol... to fool the media into thinking that they are racists?
I don't get what the end game is here. Ha ha, we only worked in an organized fashion to make you think that we are Nazis. You should've seen the look on your face when you thought we were total shitbags!
Even everyone's favorite rape apologist Gamergate is getting in on the fun!

And Alt-Right twitter is spamming the "OK" emote on everything. We've gone from parentheses to milk to the fucking "OK" sign.

That's not a choice by Fox. That's what Trump actively decided should be his presidential photo.

I saw Cassandra go from Ferguson protest supporting Berniecrat to full blown Trump supporter.
It was fucking disgusting and it's why I look at everyone on the left with a side-eye.
That was horseshoe theory made flesh.

Seems less about it being about "haha we tricked you" and more about stirring the pot of white resentment, which eventually bolsters the alt right's numbers. The natural (admittedly understandable) reaction to this is going to be "that's just an ok sign, what the fuck." But take that a step or two further and you get to "this is censorship/why is everyone so sensitive/who cares/this is why Trump won/but what about black people and gang signs/blacks Jews and women cry about everything now of days -" and then like a Pokemon they evolve into an alt righter.
It's pretty interesting. Sort of like the troll equivalent of those fraudulent "black crime/illegal immigrants with food stamps/etc" stories that are shared on FB to foster white resentment and a couple clicks later, grandpa is on a hate group mailing list.

Yeah, that's basically what this is. Cassandra is pretty transparent about it on her Twitter, actually (she doesn't explicitly say this but it's heavily implied)

Yeah? What else would Cernovich be doing with his time? The whole game is to find things out in the open that they can reappropriate. They don't even need to go to 4-chan, they have a twitter army that brings this shit to them.
They did it with Pepe. White Supremacists love benign symbols like 14 or 88 or a cartoon frog or some parentheses or a glass of milk. It's the type of delicious meme magic that Paler Luckey was funding.

Hasan is doing an incredible job with his speech.
I've never seen more e-ink spilled over something so inconsequential. We might as well spend a week and thousands of posts fighting over whether a butterfly flapped its wings.

From what I've gathered, some social media star (or something like that) who used to be really liberal and supported Bernie, then switched to supporting Trump

Ugh, Trump invited Filipino President Duterte to the White House. He praised Duterte's war on drugs effort in his country. I'm absolutely fucking disgusted.

On top of that, as a person in public service, Trump's leverage in a negotiation is significantly lower than as a wealthy business individual.

Duterte has the best War on Drugs, just phenomenal. Bigly successful. In America, drugs are as cheap as candy bars, just sad. In Phillipinesland--and this is true--in Phillipinesland they are almost impossible to find now. You can't get em anywhere, unlike here where you can get them in schools and playgrounds. A lot of people, very smart people, are telling me we should find out how he did it. Tremendous success.
Every time I try and write something that sounds like it would come out of Trump's mouth I get depressed...

Which answer would you prefer?
a.) Every President in the last hundred years has involved the U.S. in a war.
2.) The U.S. hasn't been at war since 1951. Only Congress can declare war.
It's actually iii.) Her vote didn't decide the Presidency.
