Watched a Sunday talk show that had Scaramucci. I thought he did well representing Trump.
Still a honeymoon period I think and looking forward to more productive and less confrontational press briefings and relationship. I felt sorry for Spicer but he brought alot of it on himself and glad there is a fresh face(s) to try get things back on track. |

Scaramucci isn't going to be the press secretary, which was Spicer's job. THat's going to be Sarah Huckabee Sanders. It's hard for me to take the Mooch seriously when in his opening remarks he was borderline a North Korean propogandist just short of claiming Trump only made holes in one on the golf course. Or more seriously that his past positions magically evolved in 24 hours to match the President's, just shortly after the President's largest donor raised a stink. Or that he keeps carrying the President's water on doubting whether Russian hackers tried to interfere in the election. But you're right, he does look good in that suit! |

The President, who said he didn't want the Justice Department to investigate HRC, is whining this morning that the Justice Department isn't investigating HRC.

Have to whip up the base. For all the bluster about coal or the wall, for many of his rally-attending supporters the biggest deal was taking down Hillary (in what most resembles a literal witch hunt, really). If you've succeeded at one thing but can't seem to do anything else, why not revisit that victory?

I know there is a comparison of politics to pro wrestling but it feels closer every day. Reading some of Scaramucci's old thoughts on Trump and politics compared to today sounds like a manager turning on his guy and switching to represent another guy. The whole thing just feels like performance art. |

It looks like tomorrow the Senate will vote on a healthcare bill, even bringing back McCain for the vote.
But nobody knows what will be voted on. Repeal? Repeal and replace? Cruz amendment? Something else? Nobody knows. The the vote will probably include a vote overriding the parliamentarian who ruled some major portions as incompatible with the Byrd rule. Some way, some how the GOP is going to pass something that will do something!

Many conservatives enraged over Obama school speech
We should never take a conservative outrage story seriously again.

That's a good example of why we can't judge the right thing by Trump's petty motivations. It's either the right thing or it isn't.

dola,
His tweet about McCain being a hero after he's trashed him is sick. If McCain had any pride left, he'd vote no simply because of that. |

Sessions just needs to resign if his boss is going to keep criticizing him in public.

Guys, this is just more 6-D Chess to make us feel sorry for Sessions.

Yeah, Dipshit Donald wants him gone. He knows firing him will bring down more thunder, so he's resorting to this petty shit to try and get him to resign. I know what I'd do were I in Sessions' spot, but it will be interesting to see what he does.

Looks like they have 50 votes to begin debate. Collins and Murkowski voted no. Ron Johnson and John McCain left to vote.

From a strictly political standpoint, his maverick image has always been a fraud. He's been a straight party guy for decades who just talks a big game to the press and never backs it up.
I don't care about the vote but enough with the talk John. You've never backed it up as a Senator. |

To be fair, McCain has never claimed to be a maverick about social programs.

Maybe I am not on up on the political process in Congress, bur why is it a big deal to vote to debate the AHCA?

Because they arent actually debating. its a procedural move that essentially starts the debate clock, so that the various iterations of the bill that have no chance of passing are debated, while the actual bill is thrown down at the last moment.
Also, maverick mccain voted for the brca draft of the bill tonight... the same draft bill he disparaged in his speech 7 hours ago. |

Thanks Easy Mac.
Correct me if I am wrong, but we knew this was going to happen, right? It was only a matter of time before the Republican controlled Senate was going to take action against the ACHA. No matter which side anyone takes on the matter, I see the process as fairly pointless. Either they are going to do something or they won't. Of course, I'm just pretty much jaded about all things political at this point. I just know no one in that room has my interests at heart.

How long until someone defends Trump by claiming a Russian meeting might have just been some comedians playing a prank?

Well, and culture war is a good way to re-engage some on the right who are disenchanted with him. I'm already seeing righties who have been critical of him the last couple of weeks in particular lining up lock-step on this one.
