AMAZING POST AS USUAL.

Grand wizard Sessions is set to testify this upcoming Tuesday before the senate appropriations committee. The main topic is the justice department budget but some senators will undoubtedly make use of that moment to ask some questions about Sessions' conduct. Senator Leahy (D, Vermont) has already said he will press Sessions on his role in the firing of Comey.

*Raises both hands in the air in indignation, then shakes head*

You know what? I want this to pass the senate. Democrat senators shouldn't even vote. They should all abstain and let Americans learn through pain, because that seems to be the only thing that makes people snap out of their Ayn Randian fantasies.

Let them deregulate EVERYTHING, then watch.

Good thing we have a bunch of wealthy people in the White House. I'm sure they will take a stand against this!

They'll blame the democrats and forget about it. Remember they legitimately think Obama was destroying the economy.
Only thing I can see that doing is getting a bit more liberals to vote.

They would definitely blame everyone else but the people who were responsible.

The party of personal responsibility is never personally responsible.

Remember that poll were they actually believed democrats would keep trump from doing anything too crazy.

House intel committee has set a deadline for Trump to deliver the Comey tapes. He'll have to admit they don't exist by June 23. I'd be surprised if they existed in the first place.

 

[deleted]

So what are the consequences if he doesn't meet the deadline?

It sounds to me they're buying enough time to pass their BS laws through congress and have Trump sign them before throwing him under the bus. It doesn't take two weeks to transmit to the senate the tapes that Trump supposedly already has, especially when the WH is a short walk from Congress.

The Republicans know he lied and they know he tried to obstruct the Russia investigation. The way they are defending his actions is telling.

“You know, thinking about it, I’m not even sure what I expected. I just thought it would miraculously work out wonderful for everybody,” Bobbi Smith, a 62-year-old Obamacare enrollee who voted for Trump, says. “So I guess maybe I didn’t put enough thought into what I would expect from a health care act.”

The souring on the Republican bill in a deep-red area of the country reflects the AHCA’s profound unpopularity nationwide. But the lack of protest also shows the strength of partisanship in the United States, which could prove a protective shield for Republican legislators in the 2018 midterms.

In southeastern Kentucky, the Obamacare enrollees I interviewed were disappointed — but they also weren’t mad that their Congress member, Hal Rogers, voted to pass it. They talked about all the other good things he had done for the area in his decades of service. They gave him the benefit of the doubt, expecting that he must have cast his vote to improve the economy or solve a budget issue.

This goes to the compassionate NTers who are thinking that the democrats will be able to sway the hearts of Trump/GOP voters who stand to lose their healthcare benefits with the AHCA: when someone wants to die, let them die. There is nothing a democrat can say to these people that will make them see the light. They are irredeemable.

Bobbi Smith hadn’t followed the health care debate as closely. She pays $330 each month for her Obamacare plan and gets a $447 subsidy from the government. She’s happy with her insurance, which worked well when she was diagnosed with breast cancer last January.

Smith didn’t like the idea that AHCA could raise her premiums just because she’s older. “The higher premium for older people is generally a gripe,” she says. “And for people with preexisting conditions, that’s terrible. [It would] be really hard for them.”


But Smith started kicking around the idea a bit more, and began to come around to the Republican plan. “You can’t buy insurance for anything else that’s already damaged either, if you think of it that way,” she says. “You can’t wreck your car, then go buy insurance. ... It would be wonderful if they could just be insurance at the same price as everybody else...”

She paused for a moment, and then says, “I don’t see that being feasible.”

Smith didn’t like the changes we talked about in the Republican plan — but she wasn’t especially worried about them either. She understood that her premium might go up and her subsidy could go down. But she felt like she had picked a side in America’s political debate, and for now, she is going to stick with it.

Dat brainwashing

Actualy I just got a great idea b

Have Obama and come out trick the republicans by publicly stating his full support of the bill and that this is what he really wanted when he signed the ACA.

The republicans will run straight to their rep.'s offices and demand them to vote against a bill supported by that Kenyan muslim commie antichrist

Wow 

He must have forgotten how that has worked out in the past.

Dozens of public transit projects around the country are in danger of stalling as the White House’s plan to boost U.S. infrastructure fails to gain momentum — with thousands of jobs at risk.

Oh oh.

Andrew Brady, senior director of government affairs at the American Public Transportation Association, said that more than 50 public transit projects are at risk of being denied federal funding because of Trump’s planned cuts to infrastructure spending.

The projects that are most at risk, they said, include some that have moved through the funding pipeline for years but are just short of final approval. Many are in states that Trump won last year, and they include a light-rail ­platform-lengthening project in Texas, a streetcar line in Arizona, and a bus rapid-transit line in Indiana.

“We offered to work together. We offered our own infrastructure plan to the [White House] to spark discussion. Months passed. We heard nothing back,” Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.) tweeted Friday. “Now the few details we have of [Trump’s] plan show it’s private-sector driven, has minimal investment & ignores huge sectors of infrastructure.”

At this point, Schumer should make that proposal public and campaign on that all year long so that by the time the 2018 midterms come around, the public will be aware of the ins and outs of it.

Dan Slane, an Ohio developer who worked on the infrastructure plan during Trump’s transition, said he is still receiving calls from state and local governments, frustrated with the slow pace of planning and asking him for details.

“They don’t want to pay for anything,” Slane said of the administration. “They want all infrastructure to be privately financed or privately owned.”

What could go wrong with privately owned highways?
