I'm talking about the politics of their proposal, not policy. I don't think the legislation is going anywhere. They don't have enough Republican votes -- conservatives want to push it one way, and moderates wanted to push it the other. A strong President might be able to bring the party around, but Trump is the opposite of this. Also, he doesn't really care about the policy and is figuring out that the proposal is a loser. Legislators aren't going to sign on if they think he's going to jump ship. But if and when it fails, there'll be a price to pay. Does Ryan lose his job over this?

That's what I'm talking about. They will be looking for someone to blame. Blame Obama. Blame the Dems. Blame the Press.
The problem with Ryan losing his job is, who is going to take it? The bills is being hit from all sides, it's not like it's getting trounced because the Freedom Caucus is feeling its oats.

If the Dems were serious gamers, they'd let the bill pass as it is. Don't touch it. Let it be all his, and Paul Ryan's, and let it sink both the GOP Congress and Trump.

Great idea (but for all the people dying because, although they have "access" to life-sustaining drugs and whatnot, they can't actually afford them). |

God damn, you are such a moist empathy pussy.
It's James Brown Thursday on the Daily Dose. Here is a sprawling riff workout called "More Peas."

Then, the depressive took over, and I'm like, why didn't he compliment her? I was packing and thought about getting on a train, and seeing where it ended up, you know the feeling, I know you do, but instead I ordered another drink.

I met NotBob once. At a bar on _____. One of the original craft cocktail bars. Some other lawyer chatting board riff raff were there.
He was amiable but distant. I became preoccupied trying to determine what was causing him to be this way. It was fascinating how he could be superficially the most pleasant guy in the room, and yet at the same time be completely disengaged with everyone and everything around him. Later in the evening, I caught him with his guard down. He was looking into his drink, with a big, hand-chipped ice cube floating in it, half-singing, half-muttering, "You killed the cat, burned it in antifreeze. Dumped in the truck with the rest of the cattle feed." Then I saw his eyes, and instantly knew he had a head full of mescaline. Which he later confirmed at the after party while applying nipple clamps to a more-than-willing 5YS.

Gwink, why do I want to punch Brad Marchant in the face every time I see him? I don't even dislike the Bruins. |

He's got one of those punchable faces. Like Bobby Valentine's. And because this is the PB, like Paul Ryan's.
(it's Marchand) |

Doh! I should have known that. I apologize to you, but Not Him, for the error.
Agreed. Paul Ryan definitely has a punchable face - especially here:
