The idea that gutting Obamacare is going to make Democrats come to the table is one of the most deramnged and stupid gambits in modern political history.


The president of the country is PURPOSELY MAKING 1/5TH OF THE ECONOMY WORSE and some how random congressional democrat is going to somehow feel bad enough to...help you repeal Obamacare?

in leiu of simply blaming trump?

For WHAT? For Who?



The people who bare the brunt of this are rural voters...who...already.... vote for.... Trump? WHAT?!

Remember when you were a kid and you did something stupid because you wanted to do that stupid thing because it was stupid and would be fun

And your mom catches you and asks you why?

And your brain goes "what can I tell her that will nullify the possibility of an *** beating?"

That's Republicans today.

All orange cult members do this.

Do all that tough talk but when someone returns that same energy they get in their feels.

They don't respect anybody but want respect and fair treatment from everyone else.

You can’t make this **** up.

The #PermitPatty who called police on an 8-YO black girl selling cold water on a 90-degree day...

Of course she has the most ridiculously white-privileged job of all time.

She sells pot-laced dog treats.

No, seriously.

They are more coded about it.

That's what we need. Instead of explicitly banning people like Sarah Huckabee from your establishment, come up with things like "dress codes."

Don't let them in if they're wearing a non-team hat (translation: no maga or cowboy hats). Don't allow motorized bikes or loud cars (translation: no Harley's or hemis). Don't allow unaccompanied white females, because it's not safe for them (translation: no Sarah Huckabee, but we'll make exceptions for others).

On a non-Trump note, anybody else notice out hard it is to get solid information and policy differences on local elections? Dem Primaries for county executive are on Tuesday where I live, and outside of vague website talking points, it's hard to find any good information on either individual.

But why would they allow America
To end up in the ****ter
U can’t get richer
If the poor have no money to give the rich
Like why are they making us worse as a nation
I really don’t get why the people in Washington allowing this to happen

Money doesn’t “trickle down” never has and never will. Money revolves in the way that you set it.

I’d be kinda happy if republicans and their voters start getting beat in the streets. Be taught their BS will lead to cracked eye sockets.

Just another one of those days for Pruitt. But he can probably rest assured he will face no consequences from the Trump administration. President Trump has praised Pruitt and the job he's doing at the EPA earlier this month.

Lobbyist tied to Pruitt’s condo rental pushed for EPA to hire family friend, emails show
The lobbyist whose wife rented Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Scott Pruitt a room in a Capitol Hill condo at a discounted rate lobbied Pruitt’s chief of staff to hire a family friend, according to recently released agency emails.

Steven Hart, who served as chairman of the law firm Williams and Jensen until earlier this year, contacted Pruitt’s chief of staff, Ryan Jackson, on administration policies affecting his clients and potential appointments to the EPA’s scientific advisory boards and possible agency hires.

The emails, released in response to a lawsuit by the Sierra Club, an environmental advocacy group, show that both Hart and his wife — who rented Pruitt a condo for $50 a night, which he paid only on nights he stayed there — pushed for the EPA to hire Jimmy Guilliano, a recent college graduate.

“I seldom talk to Scott but Vicki does,” Hart wrote to Jackson. “She has talked to Scott about this kid who is important to us. He told Vicki to talk to you about how to handle this. I am not sure personally that this is a good idea for Jimmy unless he is working near you. Sticking him down in the bowels is death at EPA. His family is all Naval Academy by the way.”

In an email Sunday, EPA spokesman Jahan Wilcox said that the agency did not hire Guilliano and that the agency stands by its previous statement that Hart did not lobby the agency.

“The Agency accepts career recommendations from a number of acquaintances. Ultimately, Mr. Guilliano was not hired,” Wilcox wrote, adding that when it came to Hart’s other correspondence with Jackson, “Many of these emails were unsolicited and did not impact any Agency policy outcomes.”

This spring, Hart said in interview with The Washington Post and other outlets that he did no EPA lobbying during 2017 or 2018, but his former firm amended his lobbying disclosure documents this month to reflect that he worked on behalf of Coca-Cola, the Financial Oversight and Management Control Board of Puerto Rico and Smithfield Foods.

Hart and Jackson, both Oklahomans, knew each other before Pruitt took the helm of the EPA. The emails show that the lobbyist repeatedly contacted Jackson on several topics, asking him to arrange meetings for his clients and place allies of his in different EPA jobs.

Hart worked to place candidates on the agency’s Scientific Advisory Board, which helps guide the EPA’s research, though those efforts did not appear to bear fruit. Pruitt revamped the membership of several EPA advisory panels last fall, adding officials allied with industry groups while barring any researchers from serving if they were simultaneously receiving EPA grants.

At one point, for example, Hart wrote Jackson that he wanted “to highlight three candidates for the Science Advisory Board, who were nominated by our client, Dennis Treacy, the President of the Smithfield Foundation.”

At other point, while emailing Jackson on the issue, Hart wrote, “We need to smoke a cigar soon.” Hart hosted cigar parties in the same condo apartment complex where Pruitt stayed between February and August 2017.

Wilcox said the candidates Hart had suggested “were not considered. Because their names are redacted, they were not selected.”

In a statement Sunday, Hart said, “I never received any special treatment from Administrator Pruitt or had any undue influence over the Environmental Protection Agency. Ryan Jackson is an old friend whom I have know for many years prior to his service with the EPA.”

“We have discussed numerous issues and topics during his tenure as chief of staff, but he has never performed a special favor on my behalf,” Hart added.

Pruitt’s rental arrangement with Vicki Hart is under scrutiny by the House Oversight and Government Relations Committee, as well as the EPA’s Office of Inspector General.
