Even if he’s opposing it mostly because of its bad procedure as opposed to bad policy, the fact he’s saying so now (rather than waiting until the last minute) might prompt a few other GOPs (besides Collins and Murkowski) to jump ship as well.

I’m a little leery that the ‘procedure’ dodge opens the way for some shenanigans like a 2 a.m. “hearing” that wasn’t announced or attended that somehow ‘proves’ the process or the procedure was ‘Good’ and then they can vote on the thing.

He’s consistent in calling for these bills to be taken up under regular order. But the reality is that the opposition is going to help kill this latest zombie Trumpcare.

If the GOP ever decided to go with regular order, McCain might vote for this monstrosity. But the GOP isn’t intent on doing that. They know they don’t have those votes, so they’re trying it when all they need is 50.

You mean like solicit input from all stakeholder groups, hold hearings in both Houses for months, publicly work with any members of the opposing party who are willing to deal, wait for CBO scores, adjust the bill based on those CBO scores, pass in the Senate by 60 votes, post the full text of the bill online for 3 months before final passage - that sort of ‘ruthlessness’?

Jesus, these fuckin’ guys.

Actually, I’m just going to go ahead and address that point for the willfully obtuse, self-righteous tonetwats who say it in all seriousness:

When condemning the concept of wishing ill on someone, it helps to look at the target of said wishes and the reasons of those doing the wishing: for example, if liberals expressed any schadenfreude over the death of Roger Ailes, it was because (in addition to all his other innumerable evil actions) he was a creepy, abusive rapist who, thanks to the Grim Reaper’s scythe-swipe, would no longer be able to inflict harm on others or enjoy his obscene severance pay.

In contrast, GOPers and trumpchumps are wishing death and suffering on John McCain because he took an action that prevents death and suffering for others o_O

Those of us who were paying attention recalled that the ACA took one year to pass, was heavily debated, was amended to include Republican concerns, and was addressed by President Obama in several public forums before passage.

It wasn’t rammed through by any stretch of the imagination. I wish Democrats would be more forceful about responding to this lie.

Looks like Murdoch has found his boy to lead Australia:

For God and country

Long hagiography of the politician that seems most likely to turn Australia in Texas.

Guy even when to the US to get a good Christian wife.

Oh, and has that slippery approach down to his theocratic system:

Hastie’s opponents say he’s seeking to impose his Christian moral code on society. But he insists he has never used religion to argue against same-sex marriage; his reasoning is based on “natural law” and his belief that marriage is linked to the welfare of children. “I ask the question: what is the character of marriage over time and across cultures?” he says. “It’s a union between a man and a woman — that’s the normative practice throughout history and culture. I make no mention of sexuality and no appeal to religious authority in making my arguments. Marriage has always been an institution that’s inherently ordered towards family life. Ruth and I struggled for six years with infertility before we had Jonathan, but just because a marriage doesn’t bear children doesn’t mean it’s any less of a marriage.” But surely same-sex couples can also be good parents? “I don’t for a second suggest they’d be bad parents,” Hastie says, adding that he and Labor frontbencher Penny Wong, who is gay, have shared photos of their children. “What I’m saying is that we all have a natural right to know our biological mother and father. And once we ­legislate ­marriage to make it genderless, we institutionalise motherlessness and fatherlessness.”’

At the centre of Hastie’s world view is the ­theological concept of Imago dei, which asserts that all human beings are created in the image and likeness of God. His belief in this doctrine led him to publicly attack cartoonist Larry Pickering over homophobic comments he made earlier this year. Hastie says gay people must be treated with respect, and he sees no inconsistency between this view and his stance on same-sex marriage.

Being full of inherent contradictions is part of the package.

The Australian had a second online article about the guy, too, at the same time:

Ally tells Tony Abbott: Destabilising PM is overstepping the mark

One of the Liberal Party’s rising stars, former SAS commander Andrew Hastie, has privately warned his ally Tony Abbott that he has “overstepped the mark” in recent months by making comments viewed as destabilising to Malcolm Turnbull’s leadership.

Mr Hastie, 34, a West Australian MP who is seen as a future cabinet minister, says he remains close to Mr Abbott, whom he met after being selected as the Liberal candidate in the Canning by-election in 2015. But he sees the Prime Minister as holding a “sacred office” and nobody should be “creating mischief in the background”.

[…]

But the conservative MP is sensitive about his portrayal in some sections of the media as a “religious nut job”.

“I don’t want to shy away from it, but in an era of identity politics and cultural Marxism, people are looking for every reason to delegitimise someone,” he says when asked if he believes in creationism.

[…]

“Enormously unpopular” seems to be pretty much an understatement: supposedly Graham-Cassidy polled at a magnificent 24% “approval” number: and that’s about the highest approval ANY of the GOP “Obamacare Repeal” bills have gotten. Even when you take into account the fact that most Republican elected officials seem to regard their “constituencies” as either (and/or “only”) 1) their donors or 2) RW media dittoheads, it’s a small comforting fact that seriously messing with peoples’ healthcare and its financing can have (or at least be thought to have) negative consequences for politicians who get behind such policies.

That’s exactly what I’ve been telling friends for the past week — Graham-Cassidy is like one of those horror movies where you think the monster is dead, but then it resurfaces to kill again. And that’s what all the TrumpDontCare packages have been. If Trump had come out and said Repeal and Replace with Medicare for All — he could have succeeded in eliminating Obamacare and replacing it with TrumpCare. But that would have required an attention to detail and an understanding of issues beyond his minuscule comprehension and a concern for someone other than himself.

Does this mean that this abortion is not even going to come up for a vote? Not only de we (and American win) but trump loses.

I do wish that the word “abortion” would not be used in relation to something seen as a disaster for health care/health insurance. It is this type of usage that creates and perpetuates the notion that abortion is bad.

I’ll take a shot, in descending order of likelihood (no guarantees!):

Rex after 1 year precisely (retires late Jan 2018)
Cohn once the Fed Chair is nominated (whether that’s him or not him)
Kelly (next time Trump fucking yells at him)
Price probably clings on
Omarosa is a cling-on

Not really, it’s safe because molecular gold is chemically very non-reactive. People have suffered gold toxicity from gold-salts which were/are a treatment for rheumatoid arthritis but nowadays it’s an incredibly rare treatment because of the prevalence of adverse events. When I worked on biostatistics for the Enbrel drug trials for Immunex I only came upon one patient out of the thousands whose data I reviewed who was on gold salts, everyone else was on methotrexate or prednisone.

On the other hand because it’s so non-reactive molecular gold has no taste at all. It’s literally just incredibly expensive garnish.

re: #311 allegro

So I was getting ready to go out to dinner with a friend. Just had to put on my tennies and I think I did the impossible. I think I temporarily dislocated my index finger putting on my shoe. Who the fuck injures herself putting on a damn tennis shoe? (Yes, kittens were involved indirectly.)

Had fun trying to eat and drink with my left hand (which is worthless) and whined a lot. Got home and visited my nurse friend who looked at it and went “oh fuck, honey”. Gave me an ice pack and some Tylenol 3 tabs. I decided to forego the pills in favor of drinking heavily. Working on that to help ease the throbbing that is radiating to my elbow. I swear…

Maybe it would help if you had someone give it a good ‘pull’.

What I want to know is how people seriously think this guy’s a straight shooter. Okay, I wouldn’t call Clinton a straight shooter, I think she’s more honest than people give her credit for but Trump’s the total opposite of the “Tells things as they are” that his delusional base thinks he is. He’s a bullshit artist that pulls shit out of his fat ass. He really is an unmitigated disaster and embarrassment to this office.

You can drink gold.
Goldwasser as the registered tradename, is a strong (35% ABV) root and herbal liqueur which has been produced since at least 1598 in Danzig (Gdańsk).
The most prominent characteristic of this alcoholic beverage is small flakes of 22 or 23 karat gold suspended in it.
