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.

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

McCain will always hate President Obama so no surprise that he is still lying about how the ACA was passed.

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:
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.

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.
[…]
Yeah, another wingnut. Being Australian he’s of course more literate than the typical Trumper, but basically the same problem.

After Pakistan PM Shahid Khaqan Abbasi raked up the Kashmir issue at the UN General Assembly, India hit out at the United Nations on Friday, describing it as “Terroristan” and a land of “pure terror” that hosts a flourishing industry to produce and export global terror as well as a “failed state”.

Not really when you consider how enormously unpopular the GOP bills have been.
“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.
Very small, though….
My take.
McConnell will hold a vote to try and pressure ‘Yes” votes, and if it fails, he’ll have names for Trump to be angry at that aren’t him..

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.

Not really, it’s safe because molecular gold is chemically very non-reactive.

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.

The Golden Rule is something these anti immigration people could learn from.
re: #404 HappyWarrior
A good observation. Honestly, as a more secular minded individual, I’ve always looked at it like this, if my country were facing what Mexico has been, I’d want to be welcome and treated kindly. And I also know random chance is why I’m here to begin with.Being one generation plus doesn’t make me better than first generation Americans at all. It just means my family got here earlier. I’m no better or no worse.
Exactly. I always love the contrast in my own family: Mrs. Fish, grand-daughter of immigrants, and myself, from a proud heritage of colonial Americans. We’re both fairly well off as middle-class Americans. It’s purely a matter of personal pride.

The Golden Rule? Is that the one that says the rich get all the gold?

The Golden Rule: He who has the gold makes the rules.

That’s quite true and I hope this whole experience is a lesson to the purists.
The purists are as obdurate as the Trumpsters. They are immune to logic.
