might do frivolous things like pay rent and buy food. Good thing we have these good "Christian" Republican Senators watching out for our best interests. Oh wait. That's wrong. They are looking out for THEIR best interests and those of their overlords.

Do not matter that much. He needs to bring it to a vote, if it is what was agreed upon, and let the holdouts explain to their voters why they could not support it. Problem solved.

mostly because they were loathe to see obama rack up a win on the economy. They would have preferred a depression under his watch to a recovery.

Pretty much defines them.

the level and sophistication of russian/wikileaks interference, the level and sophistication of voter suppression efforts, the level and sophistication of the doj/senate/house attacks of hillary, the level and sophistication of the right wing noise machine, etc.

But we did know that trump would pretty much be the worst president ever, and that he was a miserable human being.

But what most people didnt see coming is him withholding ventilators because they would go to people who didnt vote for him..I could see that coming but most couldnt.

BTW, he knows NOTHING about business and I dont mean that as an exaggeration.

to tank the bill because he doesn't get his 500B extortion money. He's sent Lapdog Lindsey and others out to kill it - whatever the reason.
