GAWD FUCKING DAMN IT! Any congress staff reading this please pass along

FOR FUCKSAKE GROW A FUCKING PAIR!!!!!

The Republican Chair of an investigation just ran to the WH, THE FUCKING PERSON BEING INVESTIGATED, and then comes out with an apology. Gee, I'm sorry, should't have done that.

What the FUCK, seriously, What the FUCK!. If a Dem had done this what do you think the Repubs would do, accept the apology and move on? State, oh, it was wrong and we are looking into it?

No GOD DAMN IT! Everything would have been stopped DEAD FUCKING COLD! EVERY FUCKING THING! No FUCKING HC Vote, No other committee meetings. THE ENTIRE FUCKING TOWN WOULD HAVE LOCKED UP. And rightfully so.

This isn't that fucking hard, stop, en masse, demand that he is Censored - IMMEDIATELY, and stripped of his position.

For fucks sake step up, or do you need the fucking people to go shut down DC?

Make the fucking call.

RANT OVER! MAYBE!

Rupubs come up with a late change to get dissenters on board. (Health Care Bill)

Truly shocking what they will do to screw people over.

http://talkingpointsmemo.com/dc/ehb-obamacare-repeal-vote

As Thursday's House vote on the bill to repeal the Affordable Care Act looms, the pressure is ramping up on GOP lawmakers who remain undecided or opposed to the legislation. Even after threats to their careers, invitations to the White House, special carve-outs for their states, amendments on their pet issues, and other tactics, critics of the bill still say enough members are holding strong to ensure the bill will fail on the House floor.

As the clock ticked down on Wednesday, Republican leaders made a new promise to the dissenters: that the Senate will add a provision gutting Obamacare's Essential Health Benefits (EHB) rule once the House passes the bill and sends it their way.

The EHB rule, which the current House GOP repeal bill retains, requires that insurance plans have to cover a basic minimum of health care services, including emergency room visits, hospitalization, outpatient services, maternity care, mental health and substance abuse services, prescription drugs, rehabilitative and habilitative services, lab tests, preventive care like vaccines, and vision and dental care for children.

Anyone else getting the feeling that it is about to blow?

Republicans forced to admit Trump lied about Obama, Republicans looking out for themselves in the HC debate.

It has the look and feel of a cheap suit beginning to unravel and they won't want to be standing next to the Orange Turd with the little wee wee.

IMO, they can't take another week like this one, there will either be a major diversion or Donald will fall deeper into his own ignorant shit pile.

No, I am not going to reach out to the assholes - reason number 139

Remember this?


In 2005 Obama purchased a new home in the Kenwood District of Chicago for $1.65 million (which was $300,000 below the asking price but represented the highest offer on the property) on the same day that Rezko's wife, Rita Rezko, purchased the adjoining empty lot from the same sellers for the full asking price.[35] Obama acknowledged bringing his interest in the property to Rezko's attention,[36] but denied any coordination of offers. According to Obama, while the properties had originally been a single property, the previous owners decided to sell the land as two separate lots, but made it a condition of the sales that they be closed on the same date. Obama also stated that the properties had been on the market for months, that his offer was the better of two bids, and that Ms. Rezko's bid was matched by another offer, also of $625,000, so that she could not have purchased the property for less.[37]
After it had been reported in 2006 that Rezko was under federal investigation for influence-peddling, Obama purchased a 10-foot-wide strip of Ms. Rezko's property for $104,500, $60,000 above the assessed value.[7][35] According to Chicago Sun-Times columnist, Mark Brown, "Rezko definitely did Obama a favor by selling him the 10-foot strip of land, making his own parcel less attractive for development."[38] Obama acknowledges that the exchange may have created the appearance of impropriety and stated "I consider this a mistake on my part and I regret it."[37]
On December 28, 2006, Mrs. Rezko sold the property to a company owned by her husband's former business attorney. That sale of $575,000, combined with the earlier $104,500 sale to the Obamas, amounted to a net profit of $54,500 over her original purchase, less $14,000 for a fence along the property line and other expenses.[39][40] In October 2007, the new owners put the still vacant land up for sale again, this time for $1.5 million.[41]


Look closely, all verifiable, the Obama's bought a house by outbidding, the seller wanted to close the adjoining property at the same time and did, via a full asking price sale, WITH A BACK UP OFFER AT FULL ASKING PRICE!

Then Obama pays more than market value for an adjoining strip AND later the adjoining property is sold for a small profit.

So, there is really nothing to see.

But the Republicans and Faux News went on and on about the impropriety.

Fast forward to present and the same repukes and the same Faux news anchors are silent on some inexplicable Trump deals.

Fuck them all, they have no morals, they have no ethics, they have no soul.

Who is responsible for giving us tRump?

The 62,985,106 people who voted for him.

They are the group that is most responsible.

After that you can add:

The media how gave him a platform and didn't follow up on any of the numerous areas of conflict.

Putin

Jill Stein

after repeating the media, Putin, and the almost 63 million tRump voters you can start focusing on Clinton, Bernie, Obama, far lefties, Corporate Dems, etc.

Look, anyone with a Kindergarten education could peg tRump, so why did almost 63 million vote for him? The majority of them hate liberals more than just about anything else, the sooner people get that, the sooner we can take back the Country.

OK, this has gone too far

Investigations over Russian influence in our elections are having to take place on foreign soil because we have a political party covering up un-American activities.

So how drunk do you think Van Jones is tonight

That was one serious career F Up. Calls tRump presidential and the next day the next load of crap in dumped.

March 2, 2017

Anyone else find it concerning/interesting that the majority of the Press slobbered all over tRump

No fact checking, no exploration into what was proposed, just full on fawning over him not being a complete ass for one hour. Then today another Russia piece of the puzzle drops, and there is no fucking way that they have much better insight into what is in the pipeline than the rest of us.

Yet for some reason, they felt it necessary to play the game last night, giving aid and support to Trump.
