I am so glad this man is my senator. He is the one single thing I will miss when I leave Ohio.

ditto.

BREAKING: Sessions' DOJ says that gay people aren't protected from discrimination under Title VII. (link: https://www.buzzfeed.com/dominichol...-rights-in-a?utm_term=.ktvZArnwjq#.ol95RA2W0z) buzzfeed.com/dominicholden/… by @dominicholden

really sticking up for LGBT people today.

Let me quote myself from earlier...

The more I hear about the potential transgender ban in the military, the angier I become and the more fearful I becoming about LGBT rights and freedoms in general.

 

[Drkirby]

Washington is really a mess this week, both Congress and Trump Administration are being extra stupid this week.

 

[Kusagari]

And that story shows why Sessions won't resign without a fight.

His entire life has been an uphill climb for this one position where he can gleefully fuck over minorities and LGBT citizens to his hearts content.

 

[whyamihere]

Dems aren't going to put any other amendments up until they see the skinny bill to try to put the pressure on Republicans to put the final bill on the floor.

 

[kirblar]

You won't miss him.

Spoiler

because no one leaves Ohio

 

[Plinko]

So Pence was behind the push for the transgender ban? Shocking.

Pretty much. Dude has to fucking GO.

bye.

Don't let the tornado hit you on your way out, Dorothy.

Fucker knows he screwed up and everyone hates him and wants to abandon ship.

 

[GoldenEye 007]

"At-large" tells me it isn't a full-time thing? Any reason why he couldn't serve in both capacities?

Chaffetz wouldn't have bailed if there was a serious chance of being able to run email investigations forever.

This logic checks out.

Jesus fucking Christ, how do I keep being surprised?

Happy place man. DC ain't a happy place right now.

oh good.

Jeff Colyer will become KS Governor. In 2012, he & Kobach tried to block Obama from the KS ballot out of birtherism: http://www.cbsnews.com/news/kansas-republicans-we-need-to-see-obamas-birth-certificate/

 

[sc0la]

I really hate the fact that I had to read this

Showboat? Kid Rock colliding with Comey confirmed.

bye.

So Sam Brownback basically got raptured by supply side Jesus. That's one way to wash your hands of your mess.

 

[Autodidact]

I just got the weirdest, most hilarious vision of Kid Rock losing the primary and his supporters accusing the Michigan GOP of rigging it (which, if they were smart, they would).

Gov. Sam Brownback's tenure in Kansas is ending early: Trump is making him Ambassador at Large for International Religious Freedom.

edit: Beaten, badly. I Command-F'd "brownback" and got nothing

 

[whyamihere]

cool.

@jbendery
CBO just scored the “skinny repeal” bill. 16M Americans would lose insurance + 20% spike in premiums, per senior Dem aide

 

[kirblar]

cool.

No wonder they're freaking.

 

[ShadowSwordmaster]

cool.

Ouch.

 

[teiresias]

cool.

I mean, what's the timetable on that, is that 2018 or like 2024 or what?

 

[GoldenEye 007]

cool.

16 million in year one? Jesus. The initial numbers made it look not as bad. But I should have known nuking the individual mandate would just cause an immediate collapse anyway.

 

[Atenhaus]

cool.

Hahahahahahahaha

 

[whyamihere]

I mean, what's the timetable on that, is that 2018 or like 2024 or what?

I believe that's all for 2018?

 

[skullmuffins]

16 million in year one? Jesus. The initial numbers made it look not as bad. But I should have known nuking the individual mandate would just cause an immediate collapse anyway.

it goes from 26 million uninsured under current law to 42 million uninsured in 2018, 44 by 2024. That's 16 million more uninsured in year one.

 

[Zolo]

Hey! It's below 20 million!

Edit: nvm. It's higher.

 

[sphagnum]

well that's one way to get rid of brownback

 

[Prof. Bathtub]

About the trans military Disruption! effort that doesn't seem to be working... The wiretap business was a month+ of wasted time. They should just go back to accusing people of made-up offenses, not like they have any trust to squander from intel agencies.

That was literally one of the big starters to the giant mess they're in.

 

[Drkirby]

Hey! It's below 20 million!

Nice. Now they just need to punt it to so that the big loss kicks in at 2021, and the Republican's problems are solved!

Just repealing the medical equipment tax looks a bit more likely now.

Note how he's not an ambassador to an actual country, of which we are still largely vacant of.

cool.

Yeah, this is a day. A day it certainly is.

 

[Schucky Ducky]

Just repealing the medical equipment tax looks a bit more likely now.

I hope they would still hold a party on the Whte House lawn for that.

 

[sphagnum]

I hope this means Brownback has to go around and talk about how Islam and Buddhism are important

 

[watershed]

This really is red meat day.

 

[teiresias]

Would that even pass the house given the HFC?

 

[eBay Huckster]

can they repeal and replace the medical equipment tax with a tax that exclusively burdens dan gilbert

 

[kess]

I doubt Vatican City even wants Brownback.

 

[FloydtheFathead]

can they repeal and replace the medical equipment tax with a tax that exclusively burdens dan gilbert

I might have to vote republican like Kev if this were to become a thing

Is it possible for a Democrat to win the Kansas governorship?

 

[kirblar]

Is it possible for a Democrat to win the Kansas governorship?

Normally? No. Now? Who the fuck knows.

 

[Wilsongt]

Something seriously must be about to happen.

All of this reeks of deflection and desparation.

 

[Sobriquet]

Fuck... how did I miss this? What a terrible day.

Kathleen Sebelius was the governor until she became Obama's Secretary of Health and Human Services in 2009.

 

[royalan]

Pres Trump dedicated to putting radical Muslims in graves whereas Pres Obama was dedicated to putting men in the ladies room. #MAGA

Everyone's "pretty" bigot, Tomi Lahren.

Fuck ANYBODY who finds value in engaging her

 

[Maxim726X]

I believe that's all for 2018?

Wow.

Less coverage, and more expensive... And you don't have to wait!

Where do I sign?

 

[sphagnum]

I think she's been supplanted in the field of blonde white pretty racists by Lauren Southern after she got fired from The Blaze tbh. Do people still pay attention to Tomi?

 

[Ogodei]

Normally? No. Now? Who the fuck knows.

Sebelius was governor before Brownback and Brownback's leaving his party's name in a shambles, although Kansas is kind of like Rhode Island: second party's so weak that the moderate version of the dominant party is the main threat.

 

[Maxim726X]

I think she's been supplanted in the field of blonde white pretty racists by Lauren Southern after she got fired from The Blaze tbh. Do people still pay attention to Tomi?

She certainly wants people to pay attention to her after a disgusting tweet like that.

Poor snowflake can't get a job, though.
