I feel for the families getting threats but I have no sympathy for CNN as an organization. They worked harder than anybody to elevate Donnie. I kind of enjoy watching them hoisted on their own petard. I do hope Zucker gets kicked to the curb.

Poland's First Lady ain't here for Snatchgrabber.

This is just like the Trumpers who made death threats against various theatre companies because of that whole Julius Caesar nonsense. As Jesse Hubbard would say, these folks are stuck on stupid.

This is exactly what I needed today. A trip back to Pine Valley.

They are. The Dems are focused on healthcare. The press is focused on his tweets. Screw them. They brought us here. Donnie's lost his damn mind. This isn't even about policy anymore. He's obviously in the middle of a nervous breakdown. Even his supporters have to admit that. I hope those coal miners and Carrier workers enjoy seeing what he's really all about.

Allow me to quote Paula Abdul... Forever my girl.

I'd hate it. Hatehatehate it. Sherrod is such an amazing advocate for the people of Ohio that I simply refuse to give him up. I've often said that if Sherrod decided to run, I would chain myself to his front porch and sing "And I'm Telling You I'm Not Going." But that's my selfishness talking. Do I think he would win? Probably. His cred as being an champion of the working class is unassailable and minority voters here love him. He's basically Joe Biden 2.0. There would be some real problems with his wife though. She's an outspoken, pro-choice, feminist journalist who kept her maiden name. It would be the same attacks we saw against Hillary 30 years ago but on Fox News/Twitter steroids. Also the lefty purity ponies would turn on him after looking at his voting record. Just like they attack Cory Booker for his vote against Bernie's drug bill, Sherrod has made votes in the past that won't pass their high standards. He also was one of the first to endorse Hillary and the Berniacs still throw shade at him for that.

Any state that complies would essentially be admitting that their election was possibly compromised. No Sec. of State is going to want to say that they fucked up. On another topic, the #GoAwayBernie movement seems to be slowly picking up steam.

The person they really need to get rid of is Andrew Lack. He keeps making programming decisions based on ideology and not ratings: Greta, Megyn, Hugh Hewitt... none of these people belong on a mainstream media outlet.

Yeah, it's hard to get worked up over his misogyny when that's what people voted for. I'd go for the narrative that this is what he's doing while Carrier moves jobs to Mexico. As for Russia, that freight train will keep moving no matter what. One of the things I like is that Mueller is just doing the work. No public statements. No grabbing at the spotlight. Meanwhile everyone lawyers up, Page spends ten hours talking to the FBI, Manafort registers as a foreign agent which is an indication he violated FARA. Donnie was going to file a complain against Comey and backed down and he had to admit he didn't have any "tapes." I really believe the noose is tightening. Donnie's unhinged behavior is practically a cry to be removed from office.

Portman was on the committee that helped write that bill and now he's claiming he had nothing to do with it. He's such a craven little [!@#$%^&*] and we are going to make his life hell during the recess.

Now I'm breathing a sigh of relief. I still kept thinking they'd find a way to push this through.

Seriously? Ugh. That's why I always like to hear from the actual constituents of politicians. That's the kind of story you only learn from someone with boots on the ground so to speak. One of the things I love about this thread is getting "local" perspective from posters here.

I'll believe this when they leave DC and are back in their states because I could see this being a fake out.

That's my question.

It's supposed to replace the individual mandate. But imagine it. One late payment and you lose your insurance for six months.

Ahem...

IKR? I'm [!@#$%^&*] exhausted. Between Castile and GA6 and Trumpcare and FirePelosi and Bill Cosby, I'm just worn the hell out. That's apart from my work and family stuff. Quitting's not an option but napping looks pretty good right about now.

Take a look at the posts from the trolls in this thread and you have your answer.

I feel like this is theatre. They'll publicly oppose, get concessions in the form of amendments then go ahead and screw us.

We keep saying to dumb down the message. This is what that looks like.

I'll believe it when it's dead. I fully expect a middle of the night vote.

They seem to have heard you Jane. Every Dem I see on social media is mentioning that. Although frankly I don't think that's as strong a message as we wish it were. Trump stood up in Iowa last night and basically told a rally full of poor people that they are too stupid to lead and they cheered him. They'd cut their own wrists in the hope some rich guy would pat them on the head.

Getting rid of Pelosi does nothing but remove experience that we need. The Repubs will demonize anyone in that position. They did it to Harry Reid. At a time when the GOP is pulling out every trick and loophole to sentence half this country to death now is not the time to remove someone who knows how the system works inside and out just because some dudebros have mommy issues.

Yep. They not only want to be lied to, they demand it.
