Wait, what.
Mnuchin doesn't seem like a Manchin guy at all other than their names being similar.
Mnuchin is probably Trump's best appointment but he was the purest pay to play appointment in decades.

This one is inexplicable. Does he really fear having to explain why he voted against a Goldman Sachs employee to West Virginians?

no, the VA Guy, Mattis and Chao probably are much better
I have half a mind to believe that Trudeau's entire trip was a marketing scheme inceptioned by Ivanka's book publisher. Get some nice photos of her sitting with Trudeau pretending to promote policies that neither the White House nor the Congress have any interest in moving on. This was personal PR for her.

I thought Mattis would be until I remembered that he's going to invade Iran.

Over 70 years later and this is still completely relevant.
I just watched that movie a few days ago, and it was pretty awesome how much of a biting commentary it was on Hitler. He must have been furious at it. It makes him look like an insecure leader, a rapist, and someone who basically accidentally got into power and relies entirely on his staff to prop him up.

Let me rephrase that: White, Rural Union Voters.
Because based on US demographics, I would suspect they're losing most of them.

Everyone should start watching the Late Show with Stephen Colbert if you haven't been already.
His monologues have gotten a million times better since Trump's inauguration. Honestly I don't think I ever remember Colbert being this consistently funny since the Bush administration ended. It's really been night and day.
The interviews though, they need some work. He needs to start booking more academics like he did on the Report.

They're just gonna write this off by saying Yates was partisan for the Democrats.

Went to the Phil Murphy (next NJ governor) town hall in Trenton today. He is a pretty good politician for someone who has never held political office, he worked the room well.
Needs to do something about that hair though.

Obamacare isn't going to be repealed.

They might never even get a vote on it.

I think there are like 12 Senate Republicans who said "of course we're not going to pass that 2015 repeal bill, it would be suicidal."
No one is even in the same book, let alone being on the same page.

House Freedom Caucus.
The 2015 bill basically was like "all people on Obamacare and part of the Medicaid expansion immediately lose their health insurance, like literally right now."

Okay, so what's up with the headbanging pigeon sticker getting spammed on all the comments on FB pages like Occupy Democrats the last few days? Is it some dumb new alt right meme?

So now they have literally 0 policy ideas. Because last I checked every single Republican was chanting Repeal and Replace throughout their entire campaign, and outside of that they ran on vague Republican staples like "less regulation" and "lower taxes". So realistically, they have nothing other than a bunch of regressive social policies.
davepoobond
you can't put a price on sparks
but they can finally accomplish the part of their agenda that they actually have plans for -- voter suppression and getting rid of people's rights
Never say never!

Artists always seem to get shafted during dumb internet bullshit, don't they? Thanks though, I'm always glad to know more of the red flags out there.
Not that Mattis hasn't historically been hawkish on Iran, I think that story and it's supposed implications for potential war was overhyped.

Man ive never been so obsessed or involved in politics. Half my time at work is reading what new crazy shit is going on. I saw a quote the other day that described it best. Basically when actually living in a free and safe democracy it means you dont have to pay attention to it. Its a carefree existence and can enjoy life. But now its like you have an abusive parent that will randomly beat you every other night. This cant last for 4 years. I mean it just cant.
Isn't there already a nationwide injunction? Why was this needed?

I guess the machinery was already in motion.
And I have to agree with the VA AG when he says "If the plan is to discriminate against Muslims, this is a pretty good way to start".
There aren't words to describe how much I loathe that man.

>30 Republicans now say they will not vote for any Obamacare repeal bill that doesn't repeal the Medicaid expansion.
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry..._us_58a269fae4b094a129ee4e32?vkasgqsblz6ywrk9
But lots of Republicans refuse to vote for a repeal bill that repeals the Medicaid expansion.
This is really dead right now.

But 12 dimensional chess........
IMO this isnt good. Resigning is basically like the least possible resistance. It was his choice, does not necessarily mean any wrong doing, just pressure forced him out. Story needs to be pursued to implicate others or else in a few days this will be nothing.
