Dated a white woman.
There aren't other Republican reps. the current reps. can't lose their seat to?
They just want it to happen so they can say WE TOLD YOU SO for the next five years.

I actually didn't know this but the AHCA allows employers to deny health coverage to employees with pre-existing conditions if the State says they can?
What the fuck?
Every company is gonna move to the states that allow for this to save money if this shit passes.
It's no joke, this bill is worse than just repealing the ACA outright with no replacement.

So I actually just saw someone charge into a thread on the League of Legends subreddit and post some obvious 4chan copy/paste rant about Colbert. Got deleted damn near instantly.
That's what was said the first time they tried this. People would have been better off, it would still be horrible, if they just straight up repealed the ACA and didn't replace it with anything. Republicans are actively seeking to destroy people's lives with this while purposefully exempting themselves because they know how horrible it is. This people are straight up evil.
I mean, I'm in NYC and Cuomo won't get rid of the preexisting conditions ban, but this shit is still scaring the crap out of me.
Wow, black man literally can't make a buck.

Is Le Pen basically a female Donald Trump?
-.-
I feel like the odds of Trump signing a bill that takes money away from ex-presidents is not really that high, since he will be an ex-president.

smh with macron flashing that white power sign .....
Yeah. I don't see how it could be made specific. It just comes off petty.

But will self-preservation outweigh his desire to fuck up Obama's legacy?
Clearly, nothing to do w/ race.
Of course it's petty! That's the whole damn point!

Their scheduled to vote tomorrow and CBO score will not be ready. GOP are also not releasing the texts of the amendments that are being added to AHCA. It's really just insane.

They won't. They'll say the Dems blocked their great reform, and convince people to vote them out in 2018 so they can finally enact their "change for the better."

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
It's like they purposely want to lose control of Congress.
Chaffetz already previously got a bill passed both houses (and vetoed by Obama) last year that would increase pension of all ex-presidents to $400k but reduce presidential pension by the amount of gross income over $400k. It would likely pass both houses because it previously passed both houses (unanimously). Trump would likely sign such a bill.

Whoops.. misread that. By the time it gets to the Senate, it's going to get reworked anyway. But I can imagine McConnell pulling the same shit like what Ryan did.
No. She can form sentences and understands things.
Why would Trump sign a bill that costs him half a million dollars a year?
Because he's a petty bastard.
He already donates his salary of a higher amount. It's an easy win for him when he is lacking wins.
Well, he says he does anyway.

Republicans as of late have found themselves on the winning side of "do what you want and challenge voters to actually punish you for it" enough to try again here. They aren't going to change their behavior until it actually costs them seats.
I almost wish Republicans in Congress were dumb enough to pass a health care law that fucks over millions of people by removing their health care. What a quick way to show your ass like that.
Also, people who criticized Obama for the $400k speech fee are looking like busters, now that Obama has actually shown what he was gonna do with that money.

It really is bizarre. Are they that arrogant? That stupid? Both? Are they just weak willed and being bullied by Trump into losing their jobs?

Trump has proven he is an effective meat shield for all criticism and normal party politics haven't applied. So yeah maybe they totally could fuck people over and keep their seat. The trump distraction made the garland situation possible. Might as well see how far they can go.

That's not usually how it works. People will blame the president, but show up at midterms to kick out congress because they can't kick out the president.

That's not how it USED to work.
They are already stuck to his hip. May as well see how far it goes. We are mostly in uncharted political territory with Trump.
Petty people keep their money!

There's no indication anything has changed and evidence that it's going to be a nasty midterm for the GOP next year.
Unless they figure they're going to lose anyway, might as well take the entire country down with them, but that would make them terrorists, and I don't know if they'd go that far.
CBO score is expected in about 1-2 weeks. Senate won't pass the bill by then, though it seems like a moot point since any bill that the Senate sends back to the House will likely be a markedly different bill than what the CBO is scoring right now.
