For a guy who claims to be innocent of any wrong-doing with Russia, he sure is trying to look as guilty as fucking possible.

Did we ever find out what Adam Goldman's "Still updating" part 2 was about?
I am sure it will be rolled into the spending bill and they will easily have enough votes to scare trump off
besides, I don't think Trump knows how to veto anything. He just signs whatever they put in front of him

I'm assuming it has to be regarding others at the meeting ... not sure though

Clinton could have won CO by 20 points and this guy would still claim Colorado is a conservative state. Republicans always do that shit.

Yup. Expect the next level of "collusion is just alright with me" when nastier stuff drops.
I don't expect in my inexpert opinion that it'll help his numbers but buy him time.

America, where land is better represented than people.
Valuing land more than people is pretty solid conservative values.
Edit: Beaten like a motion to proceed.

That means that most of Illinois, in my mind, is a conservative state.

Really it's true for every state outside of New England and Hawaii.

"Collusion is not a crime" stuff already started last week.
Framers are pretty dumb for not realizing a manchurian candidate possibility.

They sorta kinda acknowledged it, but not a manchurian party, no.

And as you can see from this map, Nevada has a Sen. Joe Heck.

I'm just amazed that Illinois Democrats were able to pass a gerrymander over Bill Brady's veto after that disastrous 2010 gubernatorial election.And as you can see from this map, Nevada has a Sen. Joe Heck.
The only Democrat worth shit is Minnesota Senator Amy Klobuchar tbh imo bbq

Let's look at Joe Biden's home state, Delaware in 2012

The framers might argue that they circumvented such a possibility by only letting the landed gentry vote, and clearly white, male landowners as a group would never have elected someone like Trump (he almost certainly wouldn't have made it through the primary over some milquetoast politician like Jeb!). But the framers did foresee that things change, hence the option to amend our Constitution to better serve the changing needs of a growing country. Reducing something to "why didn't the founding fathers think of this" is silly; the very fact that we have a means to amend the Constitution shows that they did. It's not their fault that we're doing a poor job of governing ourselves with the framework they put in place.

Super valuable information amidst all the spin that's taking place in the US.

So this scenario is total bunk correct? They can't even get a motion to proceed on a straight repeal, correct?

They spelled Huntsman's name wrong lol
Despite the gaffe, still one of the most sane picks Trump has made. I would guess he'll be confirmed with large bipartisan support.

This isn't hard to imagine as it's probably what would have happened had she won. Hillary would have accomplished nothing with a Republican Congress, her constant mini-scandals would not have disappeared, her approval ratings would likely be horrible, and a 2018 red wave would be looming.

What did Tapper say about her?

It may end up being for the best that she lost assuming the orange turd doesn't star ww3.

That's gonna get ugly. Assata Shakur is a racially polarizing figure. Those who lean mode toward trusting authorities, like Tapper, as well as most white people, consider her a cop killer. If they know her.
Many black people see it differently.
She is really putting herself into the most polarizing topics lately.

1) Criticized womens march for promoting Assata Shakur.
2) Her comments about Ayaan Hirisi Ali got brought up.
That's not a worst case scenario, that's what would have happened.

The Shadow Primary for the Indiana GOP senate primary is getting FUN
A Clinton presidency wouldn't have destabilized our government though.
Or removed a shit-ton of common sense regulations by way of executive order.
Single mothers wouldn't be getting round up to be deported while walking their kids to school...probably.
We'd still be in the Paris Agreement and have the general trust of our allies.
We'd have blocked China from becoming the next global-economic center, something we might not come to appreciate for another decade or so.
Public schools wouldn't be under as much threat.
Net neutrality would be relatively safe.
Even talking about criminal justice wouldn't have amounted to one big "LOL your best bet is waiting 4-8 years before coming back to this one."
And there would be the chance that whatever juju makes her likable while actually holding an office would have kicked in.
I mean, I do agree that Hillary losing might have better positioned us long-term. But Hillary in office would have definitely saved us from some of the shit we're going through now.

You make some good points, but this? One person in office would not change this.
This was fucked after the TPP got derailed by populists on both sides of the aisle.
