    Wonder what Flynn did not tell Mueller? Seems to have spilled all the beans for that kind of sentencing recommendation.

    Wherein Sen. Orrin Hatch calls Obamacare “stupid dumbasses.”

    https://www.cnn.com/videos/politics/2018/03/02/orrin-hatch-obamacare-comments-fsc-orig.cnn

    Roger Rabbit Commentary: Now he’s got another ill-advised remark to apologist for — that’s two in 2 weeks. Is the old man senile? Let’s hope that in a crowd he can remember which woman is his wife.

    I’ll tell you what’s “stupid” and “dumbass”: Doing nothing about America’s burgeoning health care crisis for decades. Borrowing a trillion dollars from China to shower more tax gifts on billionaires. Putting a rapist on the Supreme Court. Supporting a president with no character, morals, or human decency. Hatch is a stupid dumbass on every counts.

  3. 3

    As you probably know by now, Obamacare is in the news because a rightwing federal judge in Texas yesterday defied the Supreme Court by striking down the entire ACA as “unconstitutional.” We’ll see how long that ruling lasts.

  4. 4

    This is just another chapter in the GOP’s War on Health Care (TM), with pre-existing conditions especially a target. Republicans believe health care should be a privilege of the rich. The rest of you are expendable.

    Joke Of The Day

    “What’s the biggest beef against Sen. Elizabeth Warren, who is considering a run for president against Donald Trump?

    “It’s that she’s ‘too divisive,’ an argument put forward by her hometown newspaper, the Boston Globe, in a widely discussed editorial last week urging her not to run for president.”

    https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/politics-news/critics-say-elizabeth-warren-too-divisive-run-president-are-they-n948146

    HOO HAH HAR HEE HEE HOO HAH HAR HEE HOO HAH HAR HEE

    That’s funny! A real rib-splitter!! It’s not possible for anyone running against Trump to be “too division.” But I like Warren right where she is, in the Senate. She’s not presidential leadership material; legislating and governing require different skillsets. But then, neither is Trump, albeit for entirely different reasons.

  7. 7

    That’s okay, Lindsey, just bare your cheeks and bend over. This won’t take long. I’m not very big.

  8. 8

    Of course, lying about having sex with women not his wives and secretly paying them off in violation of federal campaign laws are two different things; and Graham, a lawyer, should know that.

    But Republicans don’t like campaign laws, and think they don’t have to obey laws they don’t like.

    5,
    Klownsurvaturd Child Molesting Roypublicans don’t get to make demands of The Democratic Party.
    That’s just not how this works.

    Republicans elected Cheeto Jeezus. Elections have consequences.
    This is really who Roypublicans are now.

    SCO will be $21 million in the black by year end.

    There’s your DERP state “conspiracy”.
    The only part of the federal government that is totally independent from President FingerProbe is profitable.
    While the rest is posting $1.5 trillion in new debt and going out of business next Friday.
    Way to go Roypublican Revolution!

    Looks like being black while collecting garbage isn’t such a great idea either. Turns out it’s just another way for a black man to get lynched.

    Speaking of lynchings, today is the loon’s wrong-day Sabbath as practiced his SDA doomsday death cult. Alas, as with his failed SDA prophet, Ellen White, the loon (RIP) could never get anything right. But I do miss his exploding head. SAD!

    No, but she’s reaped the benefits intended for a POC. Not POC, clearly.

    POS.

    “As a country, we need to stop pretending that the same doors open for everyone, because they don’t,” Warren said in a commencement address at Morgan State University, a historically black institution. “I’m not a person of color. And I haven’t lived your life or experienced anything like the subtle prejudice, or more overt harm, that you may have experienced just because of the color of your skin.”

    “No, but she’s reaped the benefits intended for a POC. Not POC, clearly.”

    I see you’re still making shit up and whining about it. What do they call that kind of person? Oh, yeah, that’s right, a “POS”.

    “Full Frontal: This American trash—Voter suppression in Georgia” … is that his son that Brian Kemp is pointing his shotgun at?

    Remember Dick Cheney’s hunting partner?

    We don’t have to do anything about Republicans. They’re programmed to self-destruct.

    Earlier today, Eastern Washington University defeated University of Maine 50-19, earning a second trip to the Football Championship Subdivision Title game, in Frisco, Texas. Bad news for my Eagles, we are playing North Dakota State. This was the last game in Cheney for the year. I do admire the Maine Black Beats, last week a long trip to Ogden the beat Weber State, returned to Oromo, then a few days later, another long flight.

    New Jersey Transit has ordered a new type of Electric Multiple Unit to replace the ageing Arrow III. I have never seen this configuration before, usually it’s a two car set, called a married pair. The power car and trailers in this configuration will be based around the Multi-level locomotive hauled coach, with a cab car and another coach forming a base three car set with the power car in the middle. Will be very interesting to see, also hope Bombardier delivers them on time,

    The Republicans control the Presidency, the house and the senate, why don’t they just fund the wall, ban abortion and stop all immigration? What do they need Democrats for anyway?

  24. 24

    Slightly shorter but vastly more truthful @13 on Nov 3rd 2020:
    “What choice did I really have? Thirty years ago without her knowledge or permission her employer’s press office leveraged a true family story about her ethnicity to boost the organization’s image. Treason and toddler torture was my only option. MAGA!”

    23,
    Because they don’t really want to do any of those things. They just believe yelling about them in airplane hangers while killing children and defunding the government helps them win primary elections.

    University of Connecticut researchers have study says that legalization of marijuana will lead to more sex and unwanted pregnancies.
    Hartford Courant – Front Page article on 12/16/18.

    As benign that smoking pot seems, it seems to me that it is more of a problem than same sex marriage. But I guess there is nothing in the Bible stating that.

    It is Sunday Goldy! Not sure you have forgotten that Sunday is still part of the week.

  27. 27

    I don’t know what happened to Sunday Bible Study. It’s probably in the same place as the original allegations of collusions with Russia.

    27,
    Perhaps you’ll find time to look for it when you and Mike Cernovich finish the WhiteWater, Vince Foster, Christmas Tree Cock Rings, Chem Trails, BEGHAAAZIIII!!!, PizzaCannibalism, Ruby Ridge, Buttery Males, Seth Rich, Millions of Mexican Voters, Long-Form Birth Certificate investigations.

    BTW, have you guys figured out yet if Hawaii is in Murika?
    Yes, Teh Dumbfuck. #youbuiltthat

    He’s not dead. He lives with Elvis in Scottsdale.
    They have a little antique store. They use it to funnel the George Soros Jew-money to all the MS-13 teerist caravans.
    Yes. #youbuiltthattoo

  32. 32

    @23 Actually banning abortion would cost the GOP billions in campaign donations from the bible thumpers.

  33. 33

    Ignore the gullible dupe @27; he doesn’t believe climate change is real, either. To him reality is a friendly goat.

  36. 36

    Closing the government so Congress can take more time off this Christmas is a very good thing.
    Work is highly overrated. I haven’t worked in decades.

  37. 37

    @27 it seems like some snowflake was insulted by the Bible Study, caused a fuss, and it was stopped. Kind of weird how it coincides with Puffy’s lynching.

    No, Rich died in 2013, but he’s running an import-export chocolate business in Lucerne, in partnership with Hitler and Mussolini.

    Marc Rich was a big supporter of Israel. I thought Republicans like Israel? Or is that just another pretense?

    Rich was indicted by Rudy Giuliani, when Rudy was a U.S. attorney, and Rudy isn’t exactly the world’s smartest attorney, so the indictment probably wasn’t worth a shit anyway. According to Wikipedia,

    “In a February 18, 2001 op-ed essay in The New York Times, Clinton (by then out of office) explained why he had pardoned Rich, noting that U.S. tax professors Bernard Wolfman of the Harvard Law School and Martin Ginsburg of Georgetown University Law Center had concluded that no crime had been committed, and that Rich’s companies’ tax-reporting position had been reasonable. In the same essay, Clinton listed Lewis ‘Scooter’ Libby as one of three ‘distinguished Republican lawyers’ who supported a pardon for Rich. (Libby himself later received a presidential commutation and pardon from President Donald Trump for his involvement in the Plame affair.) During Congressional hearings after Rich’s pardon, Libby, who had represented Rich from 1985 until the spring of 2000, denied that Rich had violated the tax laws but criticized him for trading with Iran at a time when that country was holding U.S. hostages.”

    (Emphasis added; the Iran oil went to Israel via a secret pipeline.)

    It’s hard to take wingnut bleating about Marc Rich seriously, especially after Trump’s pardons of Joe Arpaio and Scooter Libby, and of course, Trump’s mutterings about pardoning himself.

    40,
    It’s hard to take wingnut bleating about Marc Rich anything seriously, especially after Trump’s pardons of Joe Arpaio and Scooter Libby, and of course, Trump’s mutterings about pardoning himself “Hawaii is a foreign country” and SATANIC PIZZA CANNIBALISM.

    This is really who Republicans are now.

    Got to give credit where credit is due. Might not agree with the WSU coach’s politics, but nice to see a team my EWU Eagles are 1-1 against saying something nice about them.

    As for the game Saturday, I was beginning to wonder if the ROTC guys had brought enough rounds for the Howitzer.
