As requested.

Paul Ryan is behind this placemark.

That's one classy misdirecting placemark you've got there 7, but we're not fooled.

Sanders:

Sanders:
"Let us do, among other things, a public option. Let us give people in every state of this country a public option from which they can choose. Let's talk about lowering the age of Medicare eligibility from 65 to 55. Let's deal with the greed of the pharmaceutical industry. Those are areas that we can work together on.""

Well, if he can get Trump to agree to any of that, and enough Republicans, then I can see that Democrats might get on board.
It would still be a Democrat bill in the end. Not at all what Trump or GOP had preached before.
It would be a win for the Democrats and still Obamacare, or Democratcare.

Let's deal with the greed of the pharmaceutical industry not convinced that Trump could get behind that.

It would have to be called '.The New Trumpcare' though - or something like that.

Re: gun laws in the US... believe me, as someone who is VERY anti-gun, it drives me crazy!!!! It's NUTS!!!!!!! I don't get the gun-love either. Now to be fair, most of us Dems are against guns (or at least for having much stricter gun laws), but there is a sizable portion of people in the US who are scared to death that someone will take away the 2nd amendment (many of these are your Trump voters but not all). Believe me there are many of us here who don't get it either.

This chart already feels too simple.

Trump wants things that are going to bring him personal prestige and warm glowing applause. If it happens to coincide with what people need well...............

I'm loving Sanders more and more... I sort of wish I had voted for him in the primary instead of HRC (but I still love HRC, even tho it's not a cool thing to admit to other liberals).

I'm clinging on by my fingernails here. Just can't keep up with all the revelations.

WHY IS HE STILL HERE? (or, rather, there)

No, Paul Ryan, Your Healthcare Defeat Wasn't Because of "Growing Pains"

"Most of the current Republican House members have not shared responsibility for governing the nation.

Their chronic incapacity to govern didn’t reveal itself as long as a Democrat was in the White House. They let President Obama try to govern, and pretended that their opposition was based on a different philosophy governing.

Sadly for them – and for the rest of the country, and the world – the person they supported in the election of 2016 and who is now president is an unhinged narcissistic child who tweets absurd lies and holds rallies to prop up his fragile ego."

Then it gets worse for Trump.

"It is of course possible that Republicans in congress will learn to take responsibility for governing. It is possible that Donald Trump will learn to lead. It is possible that pigs will learn to fly.""

Lweji lol so true

an unhinged narcissistic child who tweets absurd lies and holds rallies to prop up his fragile ego.

Best description I've seen of him.

It always irritated with me during the campaign that the worst thing HRC could find to say about him was that he was 'thin skinned' and could be goaded by a Tweet. I always wondered why she didn't hit harder than that, but I guess she was tip toeing around trying not to look nasty, and of course never drawing attention to his low intelligence since that would just make some people hate her more for being a bookish 'know it all'.

Reading the comment section in an article about Bannon having comprised a sh*t list of Repubs...

They are really behaving like folks on a reality T.V. show.
“Will Bannon build an alliance with the Freedom Caucus to vote out Paul Ryan?” tonight on SURVIVOR- U.S. Government.

will bannon’s liver get its own zip code?
will kellyanne get back her face that was lost at the drycleaners?
will alt-spice finally grow that little adolf moustache?
tune in tomorrow!

This could really get to be an involved plot, like a soap opera — which this most certainly is. Is Ryan going to get Bannon, or vice versa? Will Kellyanne find true love? Will Sean ever work in this town again?

Boreof, he's still here because the Republicans still outnumber Dems in the House and Senate...things would be going much differently otherwise. :(

(but I still love HRC, even tho it's not a cool thing to admit to other liberals).

It's still cool among my liberal friends. I've been voting for HRC for years. I even voted for her in my state's primary in 2008.

Besides my admiration for her and general agreement with her (especially on domestic policies), I've met her a few times. She's very warm, and even funny, in a personal setting.

Struggling to keep up but doing my best!

Another Hillary supporter, here. I liked Bernie and the things he believed in, but IMO Hillary was a bit more 'kickass' and I felt that was what the country needed with a GOP Congress. I also felt she was a bit more 'global minded' and I believe we are living in a global society.

We need to pay attention to and try to understand the people of other countries because we are pretty much 'in contact' with them through the internet. MN is an example. I've learnt a lot about the people of the UK through various threads. We have differences in philosophies, but we still want the same things; love, family, security, peace.

Bookmarking... thanks the beautiful new thread Ego.

Guns don't kill people, rappers do, I seen it on a documentary on BBC2.

Ooh, that's an old song.

He's shifted now from blaming the Democrats to shaming the Freedom Caucus. I saw an article where Reince Preibus was doing similar: he stated it was not the Democrats, but conservative elements within the GOP that had caused the failure of the vote. I hope the rabid Trumpers see this and realise it isn't all the "Dems" fault.
