I'm just trying to watch old UFO documentaries on YouTube and I have to sit through an unskippable ad of Dinesh D'Souza bitching about multiculturalism and comparing/equating chattel slavery to other forms of slavery.

Kelly doing a heckuva job.

So for a little more context to this. Bruce Maxwell was born on a military base, his father is a career Army man, and he's white. The anti-Kaepernick because he's "disrespecting the military" crowd has to be so confused right now.

There is literally no demographic in existence that Republicans will hesitate to shit on. We need look no further than the election with decorated war hero/treasonous coward, John Kerry.

I almost think we wouldn't have alt-right if not for youtube redirecting everyone to their dumbass reaction vids.

I still can't get over the fact that worked. It was disgusting as hell and damn near irredeemable. If anyone wonders why I have such little respect for the GOP voter base, this is where it starts. My introduction to politics was watching a decorated war hero get shit on.

 

[Spoiled Milk]

only 29% of white people have a favorable view of Kaepernick which is fucking crazy

wonder how many of these people also complain about black activists being too easily offended?

Well, I mean, he DOES suck as a player.

Yeah, that was the point where I realized "holy shit, fuck these guys". Pretty much turned me away from Republicans forever.

Politics ”comes up on most [dates] now just because of everything that's been going on recently, especially since Charlottesville," she said. ”It's hard for people not to talk about it, so it just comes up. And then most of the time I just try not to even say anything." If she offers an opinion, such as, ”I can understand the president [saying there's] multiple sides at fault here," then her date ”just gets completely mad," she said.

Of course.

Yeah I screwed that up from only reading one article. My bad as that was pretty misleading on my part. I’ve gone back and corrected it.

[RustyNails]

Where’s this quote from?

Probably every clown in r/donald.

 

[Mark Andrew]

Two-thirds of Americans oppose launching a preemptive military strike against North Korea, with a majority trusting the U.S. military to handle the escalating nuclear crisis responsibly but not President Trump, a new Washington Post-ABC News poll finds.

Please proceed.

 

[GrapeApes]

Only 52% of Republicans think striking North Korea would start a larger war. Who are these dumbass 48% that think shit will be sweet if we attack them? This isn't like launching strikes at an abandoned air strip.

 

[ArkhamFantasy]

I want to know who these 18% democrats are.

 

[Mark Andrew]

Susan Collins on CNN basically confirming she won’t vote for Graham-Cassidy.

God damn. NFL isn’t playing.

Mnuchin says NFL has rule to tuck jersey in, so they should have a rule to stand during national anthem.

Awesome logic from Mnuchin.

 

[Joe Shlabotnik]

I want to know who these 18% democrats are.

Hawkishness is a relatively bipartisan spectrum.

 

[Zolo]

Yeah. Especially with that patriots statement, I don't see Trump letting this go with how badly his ego's bruised.

 

[Loudninja]

Lol every single time Trump open his mouth it back fires hard.

 

[nature boy]

So this week is tax reform week? LMAO good luck with that

 

[Diablos]

Awesome logic from Mnuchin.

Seriously, Mnuchin. Why even bother saying that?

 

[Poodlestrike]

So this week is tax reform week? LMAO good luck with that

Nope, this is FOOTBALL WEEK (and possibly GLOBAL THERMONUCLEAR WAR) week now. GLHF.

 

[Plinko]

Awesome logic from Mnuchin.

Even better idea: stop playing the national anthem at every sporting event as if they are some bastion of patriotism.

 

[Mac_Lane]

Awesome logic from Mnuchin.

Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin on the NFL: “Players have the right for free speech off the field” #CNNSOTU

Seriously, wtf ?! Do these idiots even know the Constitution ?

 

[kess]

Easy, Mnuchin thinks workers have no rights.

 

[JettDash]

NFL owners could cut players for refusing to stand during the national anthem without violating their constitutional rights. Though it might violate the collective bargaining agreement they have with the player's union.

The 1st ammendment protects the government from infringing upon people's free speech, not their employers.

I hope it goes without saying that I don't think they should.

 

[FyreWulff]

Even if technically players only have first amendment rights off the field, nobody at the cabinet/White House level should ever be trying to say shit like Trump and Mnuchin are.

Teams have the right to do this and they should have that right.

The question for them is it worth the bad PR and loss of quality stars.

Look to see what Jets and Texans players do.

Aren't they still going to have a vote on their shit health bill?

Aren't they still going to have a vote on their shit health bill?

Only if they have the votes.

SIREN — tax reform could be snarled if Senate Rs won’t vote for budget unless it repeals O’care!

Guess healthcare and tax cuts for the wealthy are tied together

 

[JettDash]

I'm not sure. Turtle might want to hold a vote just to prove he did everything he could. On the other hand, holding a vote and losing would make him look more incompetent and week.

 

[Zukkoyaki]

So if I'm reading that right, they'll shutdown the government if they can't kick millions off of healthcare? Well that sounds like a great idea /s

 

[Hubbl3]

Seriously, wtf ?! Do these idiots even know the Constitution ?

Is a football field a constitutional-rights free zone? (ie. a conservative safe space)

People should start saying that no one should be able to handle firearms outside of shooting ranges. The cognitive dissonance would be off the charts.

 

[Vixdean]

Who is this bald sacrificial lamb the WH is sending out to MTP to take flak for Trump this morning? I've never even heard of the Director of Legislative Affairs.

 

[Zolo]

I take his recent silence that he's not going to hold the vote if they don't have assurance. They held one public vote already.

They can only have one reconciliation bill a year. Their plan was to have Obamacare repeal done before the end of this fiscal year, and then to do taxes separately. It looks like their plan has failed. So now they want write up reconciliation instructions that will allow them to do both Obamacare repeal and tax cuts in the bill.

They would be idiots to actually try to do tax reform and Obamacare repeal in the same bill as it reduces the chances of anything passing. But they're incompetent and desperate so they probably will.

Yeah. Worried about that. Murkowski's basically being bribed. Rand was never going to be the vote that stood in the way.

Seung Min Kim‏Verified account @seungminkim 48m48 minutes ago

Why this matters: Rs need to pass a budget resolution to pass tax reform with just simple majority.

So if you have Rs that are tired of the healthcare debate and want to move on, shit hits the fan

 

[Pixieking]

Yeah. Worried about that. Murkowski's basically being bribed. Rand was never going to be the vote that stood in the way.

On mobile, but this is via Igor Bobic on Twitter

Rand literally just said on 'Meet the Press' they'd have to take all the block grants out of the bill in order to vote for it

Doesn’t mean he’s a No, but it would mean a radical rewrite of it with days to go?

 

[Zolo]

On mobile, but this is via Igor Bobic on Twitter

Eh.....I really just don't trust Rand.

 

[Zukkoyaki]

I read that as they've given up on Collins and McCain and Murkowski is their last shot
