But, yeah, you know, those people probably didn't want healthcare, anyway.

She has been more thoughtful and consistent on ACA repeal. She's earned more of a benefit of the doubt.

I believe Republicans are stupid enough to try and press this issue next year.

Their constituents still want it. Of course they will.

The greatest irony is had the GOP played by the rules they would have won by now. But just like Dick Dastardly, they can't help themselves. Just before the finish line, miles ahead of their nearest competitor, they have to stop to cheat.

Time to open one into Ivanka too.
Do they, though? Unless by constituents you mean a few rich guys.

I remember when McConnell was a master strategist and his plan of building and passing a bill in one month with no debate or input was a genius move that was certainly going to swiftly end the ACA.

Polls show that as unpopular as the GOP repeal efforts have been, an overwhelming majority of Republicans still oppose the ACA and favor repeal. Even G-C had much more support than opposition among Rs. Support > "Don't Know" > Opposition.

I wonder how quickly that guy can put a gun together.
All the touted intellectuals in the Republican Party invariably turn out to be fucking morons who got lucky.
Lol. Unreal
mfw we have a literal humanitarian disaster in PR and the president is still fucking tweeting about football. My god what the fuck dude this is beyond horrendous.
I don't care if you hate brown people and shit dude, like these are still Americans languishing in droves. Not a fucking peep so far.

He's already flipped.
That is a hilariously specific reference.
Stone says in that interview that he doesn't think Manafort will flip
Which means he's gunna flip

Is the Kelly thing like the military equivalent of "my black friend says I can say it"?

Yeah many of the same NFL owners that wanted nothing do with Trump then donated to his campaign to lead the entire US, and are being extremely tepid in their response to this latest issue. At least some of them.

Lisa M., M.D. (Moderate Darling), should tell William Cassidy, M.D. (Doctor of Medicine), to get fucked.
Trump can't pardon him if they find state crimes he committed.

Lol who fucking listens to Pence? Might as well just send her a singing telegram for all the good that'll do.

Yeah, but thinking back, this dude's a big Nixon fan.
Well now we know where the soul of Nixon dwells... thinking on stone's back. Thinking back.

So Trump's behavior just tells me he's an absolute loose cannon. If (very big if) war erupts with NK, what checks are in place to basically stopping him from going "Let's keep launching nukes until they give up?" Or from him just giving orders to launch nukes in general?
Not if they get him on state charges, Trump can't pardon state convictions.
A military coup?
I've been wondering about this myself. Is refusal to follow orders you know will lead to large-scale civilian casualties a coup? Is refusal to drop The Bomb a coup? Kelly, Mattis, and the high-ranking generals are smart enough to know what the right military play is - would they be willing to take part in what is obviously the wrong move?
Nothing. He has sole control of the nukes.
At best, maybe Mattis would refuse and have try to have the 25th amendment used.
