Purists Win

Hey, so what, the Senate actually voted to end coverage for preexisting conditions and to stop allowing children to remain on their parents’ insurance till 26? Didn’t even Trump say he wanted to preserve this part of the ACA?

This is the cost of the “I’m too pure to vote” and “Both sides are the same” positions. It’s a shame that the cost isn’t paid by the purists. It’s the innocent schmucks that suffer.

  1. The man who couldn’t wait to inform the public about Clinton emails a week before the election is now refusing to confirm or deny if FBI is investigating Trump ties to Russia. Even behind closed doors, in a classified setting, to members of congress.

    Look at this wannabe J. Edgar Hoover over here.

    “Embattled FBI director James Comey has refused to clarify whether his organization is investigating Donald Trump’s ties to Russia in a closed briefing on Friday for members of Congress, angering legislators who recall his high-profile interjections about Hillary Clinton during the 2016 presidential campaign.
    ..

    Comey had said in September testimony that his standard was a “a need for public to be reassured, [and] when it’s obvious, it’s apparent, given our activities, public activities that the investigation is ongoing”.

    Nadler, according to a different source, then asked Comey in the Friday meeting: “Do you believe that standard has been met with reference to the possible investigation of the Trump campaign’s possible connections to the Russian government? And if not, why not?””

  2. This is too much. Like if there’s even 0.0001% chance Trump was compromised, isn’t this a national security crisis? The same people who dragged benghazi hearings for years and wasted millions of dollars investigating presidential blowjobs do not see the need for a independent public inquiry for this?

    1. They won and can dismantle welfare without anybody standing in their way, so why should they worry if Trump is the Kremlin’s agent? It’s the Democrats’ turn to raise a stink and make a Benghazi out of this. Let’s see if they at least try.

    God, someone lend them a spine.

    Republican math! Why worry about the deficit when you can just make up a rule that changes its definition?

    1. They are only against deficits when it’s convenient. When Bush racked up a huge deficit, they were fine with it. They’ll be fine with it now, too.

      The most frustrating thing is that a deficit makes sense during a recession but not after a recession is over. This is all completely ass-backwards. They will tank the economy again, these freaks.

  4. Great, now Zuckerberg wants to run for president.

    “Increasingly, a number of influential people in Silicon Valley seem to think that Mark Zuckerberg will likely run for president of the United States one day. And some people, including myself, believe that he could indeed win. “He wants to be emperor” is a phrase that has become common among people who have known him over the years.”

    1. Well, Zuckerman will be barely past the legal age regirement (35 y.o.) in 2010. So if he gets the Dem nonimation and runs against Trump, we’ll have the youngest major-party candidate in history running against the oldest.

      Might be at least as interesting as the election that just ended!

  5. Эффект Трампа

    Совершенно не важно, является ли подлинным компромат, который появился в американских СМИ накануне инаугурации нового президента Соединенных Штатах. В современном мире важность компромата – не в его подлинности, а в том, что он подтверждает уже имеющиеся подозрения.
