According to a Senate Democrat, McCain heard from two longtime friends pleading with him to oppose McConnell: Joseph I. Lieberman and Joe Biden.
Biden, the former vice president who often clashed in a collegial way with McCain on foreign policy matters, had a more emotional discussion with McCain. The Arizonan’s brain cancer is the same diagnosis that Biden’s son, Beau, received in 2013; he died two years later.

I’ve wanted to do a repeal and replace photoshop image, but just writing emails to congresspeople has taken my ‘political’ time the past couple weeks.
One thing for sure…Trump is a constant drain on all forms of energy. A real sucker.
And the sucker seems to want to keep pushing on Mitch to get ‘er done. Trump and McConnell are going to come to blows here soon. I wonder if Donny realizes he can’t just force Mitch to resign. He will try to mess him up in Kentucky, but good luck with that.
Watch for The Mooch to start going low on McConnell and Ryan.
re: #12 Stanley Sea
“McCain defied President Trump’s attempts to revamp the health-care system and stared down Vice President Pence, who made a direct, last-ditch plea to the senator early Friday morning.”
That’s the moment that I really wish had a video or even photos. I want to see Pence’s blank, disappointed face when he realized that he wasn’t going to cast the deciding vote. From what I read, Pence bailed from the senate building so he wouldn’t have to be there when the ‘bill’ went down. I wanted to see Pence in the video.
The wingnuts on my FB feed have already started demonizing McCain, basically accusing him of being a Democrat (the one meme I saw was pictures of him cozying up to John F’ing Kerry and Hillary Clinton). Schadenfreude is so delicious.

We’re still struggling to get our water system back in compliance. Thursday I drove yet another water sample to the lab. (At the rate the village is paying me mileage to drive my private car, they could buy a new truck.)
We were down to 1 colony out of 51. Still improving, but the number has to be 0 two days in a row.
So tomorrow the state water guy is coming down from Chadron to observe me taking water samples, to ensure I am doing it correctly. (If I am not, I want to know, but as far as I know I’m doing it correctly.)
Part of the problem is disinfecting the sample site. Our actual sample station for our water tower is non-functional (we are working to get it repaired). Therefore I have to take samples from the first fixture in the water line from the tower—a fire hydrant.
Do you know how hard it is to disinfect a fire hydrant?
After repeated miserable failures for that, the state fellow suggested going to the first service connexion on the water system (that would be the chairwoman’s house). Unfortunately, that means taking water samples from her outside water spickets. (A bit easier to disinfect than a fire hydrant, but still hard.)
So I get to spend my day Monday in training, followed by driving to the water lab (again).
On top of that, the village attorney weighed in to the village saying “you know, state law says you’re supposed to pay your water operators.” (Could there be a pay cheque in the near future for all this?) As such, he advised me to start keeping track of my hours.

Why didn’t McConnell switch his vote to no at the end?
l have seen some things about how there are other games Mitch can play to get another vote, but the big thing is, McCain is on record opposing these bills. Republicans are stuck until they can overcome the three no’s.
I see Trump is threatening to with hold ACA payments to states unless Repeal happens.
Is this known as extortion?
re: #27 Belafon
Why didn’t McConnell switch his vote to no at the end?
Because the vote was on an amendment. I think the vote switching trick only works on motions to proceed, allowing the majority leader to claim their no vote was based on the bill not being ready to bring to the floor but reserving the right to reintroduce it at a later date.

re: #30 goddamnedfrank
Looks like I’m at least partially wrong. Reid voted no on amendments in the past to preserve his right to reintroduce them. McConnell might have not done the same either to some difference in the Reconciliation Process rules (50 vs 60 votes needed) or because he was afraid his constituents would be too stupid to grasp the political nuance involved.
re: #35 Anymouse
Numerous sources divulged the altitude the missile achieved. It’s trajectory kept it from flying much further. They shot it almost straight up. 3500 miles up something like 500 miles between launch and impact. They can hit the US for sure if perhaps only with a non nuclear warhead. Whether they can even hit the right area code is speculative. But physics says they can reach here unless that altitude was wrong. A missile from here to Russia or vice versa might only get 800 miles up.

re: #6 MsJ
For the record: Thomas Jefferson never served in the US Senate. And the filibuster was basically created by accident during the Jefferson Administration when Vice President Burr pointed out that a senate rule was redundant. The Senate changed the rule but didn’t create a way to end debate thus creating the filibuster.
District Court for Eastern Virginia rules that politicians who use their social media accounts for announcements, government business, &c may not block citizens, on the grounds of citizen’s free speech.
The case revolves around a person who was blocked by a county commissioner, and thus sets a precedent.
That means Mr. Trump could be in trouble with his blocking of tens of thousands on Twitter.

I’m not really knowledgeable about much of German history, but I do know it is misleading to talk of “German history” as if there was one nation-state called “Germany” (until recently.)
I do know that immigrants to the US during those years (after the US Civil War) were often fleeing poverty more than anything else. in previous centuries there were people fleeing Germanic speaking states for religious reasons (see the history of Pennsylvania, for example.)
Papa John Papa claims his ancestors were fleeing in 1867 because of some onerous government growing too large.
Well, not being the expert I am, checking on Wikipedia for that period of what was happening in the German states, here is what I found:
During the roughly three years of the North German Confederation its major action existed in legislation unifying Northern Germany. The Reichstag decided on laws concerning (e.g.):
free movement of the citizens within the territory of the Confederation (1867)
a common postal system (1867/1868)
common passports (1867)
equal rights for the different denominations (1869)
unified measures and weights (with the obligatory introduction of the metric system)
penal code (1870)
I suspect that Papa John’s Papa’s story is just more made-up family mythology.

‘Police officers are professionals. Professionals who take a sworn oath to uphold the law and to protect us all.

The Law Enforcement Oath of Honor, and the Law Enforcement Code of Ethics - that thousands have solemnly taken and many have made the ultimate sacrifice for - contain statements worthy of reminder:

I’m thinking it goes more to his increasing separation from reality.
There has to be some strange contrasts in his life right now. And I don’t think he will be able to handle them.
He goes on the road to controlled events/campaigns so he can pump himself up and then the rest of his day seems to be in a rage.
It’s like he is manufacturing a bipolar environment for himself. He’s gonna whack out.
I see him like a child sitting in the corner of the room with a daisy doing the “they love me…they love me not…they love me…they love me not” test.

Interesting case in the exercise of responsibility as it might be, do we really WANT Donald Trump “doing something” on his own?

What an embarrassment…….
For 8 years, I had to listen to BS from wingnuts about how “Obama won’t lead!!!” That he “lead from the rear,” expecting others to do the heavy lifting while he took all the credit. And here’s Donny Two Scoops, who puts all that talk to fuckin’ shame. He not only refuses to lead, but he openly demands others do the work for him so he can take the credit for any accomplishments and give them all the blame when things go tits up.

I suspect Kelly will have his borders set by Ivanka.
Ultimately it may dawn on Trump that the whole purpose of having a staff is to deal with the machinery of government so that a President doesn’t look stupid.
So far he’s failed spectacularly at that aspect of the job. Well, he’s failed all aspects, but this one in particular seems to be beyond his grasp.
It’s pretty clear that Congress is out for their own necks, and only those Republicans who need the Trumpers to get reelected are really going to care about what Trump wants.
The next big hurdle in Congress is the budget for 2018. It is the first budget of the Trump presidency. I suspect Trump will fall flat on his face here, too.

Wingnuts vote largely upon this idiotarian ideal that the way to “fix” government is to get all the professionals out and replace them with “genuine” people who wants to effect change. But the same reason you wouldn’t hire a first-year student to do brain surgery is the same reason you don’t pick Curtis J. Fuckup to be your Senator. He has no clue what he’s doing, valuable time that is necessary to move legislation is wasted on bringing him up to speed on how government actually works, and the gaffes he makes out of his ignorance only make the sausage-making of legislation that much harder.
Of course, such things go well with those who think “the government that works best is the one that works least,” but if you’re reliant upon the government dime to make your retirement days comfortable or to help you in a time of need, some backwoods hick in D.C. saying “I can’t see the need for this” is not what you want to hear.

The appointments that Trump has made to his cabinet have not only put all those breathless predictions by Bros about how Hillary would “fill her administration with bankers” laughable, they’ve so far demonstrated that the only qualification he felt was necessary was loyalty to himself. Not experience in the field they’re appointed to oversee, not some innate skill set that will allow them to succeed, but simply a personal or professional relationship to him that led him to believe they’d be loyal to him alone. Every person he has fired, he has done so because he felt they had been disloyal or would become so as the pressure of legal troubles cranked up.
