There's no point to any theater around the parliamentarian. Ignoring them means nuking the filibuster. If Mitch wants to do that (and he might), then he'll just do that. No point in extra work.

Who said it did? You said you hate extremists, many social justice causes would have died without their efforts.
Same can be said for various other aspects of our political landscape.
Pigeon's got this.
While I respect your G-pa, I will go to bat for sardines.

Like, I seriously think Charles Djou, that Republican from Hawaii who served briefly in the House because two Democrats split the vote, is farther left than Tulsi on gay issues.
Last night she was laughing it up with Tucker Carlson over Democratic/liberal concerns of the abundance of connections certain people have with Russians and with supporting Russian policy interests...
It'd be close.
This means nothing with respect to one's political leanings?

Tulsi's love of killing Muslims does make it pretty bizarre that she didn't support Hillary so I think she's just a grifter more than anything.
ah right that's a clearer distinction

She's also the most pro-Assad democrat out there right now:

There are times when I understand why people become apathetic to the democratic process. When you see shit like this:
Heller: I won't vote for this!
Heller: Ok, I'll vote.
It's hard not to become disillusioned.
Heller: I won't vote for this!
Heller: Ok, I'll vote.

Because Tulsi's love of killing Muslims means she loves Assad.

Going into this, it sounds like the plan is to pass skinny repeal, and then punt the creation of the real bill once again to the house and senate conference committee. So those two things failing isn't a surprise.

I mean, "pro-Assad" or anti-arming rebels?
Don't necessarily agree with her visit, but her policy stance in this case seems reasonable.
It has been politicized, no shit. I didn't say it hasn't been?

After this, they run out of people to punt it to. I wonder when that little fact will settle into their minds.

Really sad. WTF are they going to do if forced to provide better insurance for their employees? Move out of Vegas? Bitch to the citizens of Nevada that they shouldn't have better insurance, so don't vote for Heller? Their only population centers rely on tourism and service level jobs!

Agree, and I disagree with the characterization (as with a shitload of her views, to be very clear). But, based on my limited knowledge, I support the policy outcome.

Assad's pogroms could kill millions of Muslims, it's why Tulsi and the Alt-Right love Assad.

And this I agree with. The CIA program was a dumb one (as giving guns to rebels and just letting them lose usually is), but this meeting happened well before any such program was unveiled. Combine some pro-Assad statements with attempts to discredit the Russia investigation, and you got someone who looks fishy as shit.

House overwhelmingly votes for Russia sanctions, and curb Trump's ability to limit the sanctions, leaving Trump in kinda a pickle:

I want him so badly to veto this. His first veto override halfway through his first year would be great.
So now it goes to Trump to sign or veto? This should be interesting.

We all knew it was coming, but I'm still kinda surprised the Republican controlled House would back Trump into a corner like that

I don't even need to look at the roll call to know that Rohrabacher voted no.

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
Who are the three? Is one of them Rohrbacher?
It's almost as if they know he's working with Russia and they're just trying to roll with it to get their legislative goals rammed through while hoping he doesn't sabotage us too badly

The Nays were Amash, Duncan (TN), and Massie. Rohrabacher actually voted yes.
Apparently he's cooperating now.

Rohrabacher voted yes and Amash no? Get the sardines and peanut butter.
