I thought that was the woman on the lawn chair.

Heitkamp has nothing on Klobuchar

 

[Blader]

Yeah, but thinking back, this dude's a big Nixon fan.

THAT is the Roger Stone Nixon tattoo I keep reading about? It looks like a shitty sticker.

 

[Teggy]

Trump is finally saying something about PR but it's taking him forever to get it out. He's also insulting their economy at the same time because I'm sure he couldn't resist.

What is this shit?

 

[skullmuffins]

Trump finally tweeted something about Puerto Rico............ :/

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump 13m13 minutes ago

Texas & Florida are doing great but Puerto Rico, which was already suffering from broken infrastructure & massive debt, is in deep trouble..

...It's old electrical grid, which was in terrible shape, was devastated. Much of the Island was destroyed, with billions of dollars....

...owed to Wall Street and the banks which, sadly, must be dealt with. Food, water and medical are top priorities - and doing well. #FEMA

 

[DTC]

Can someone link the Barnie debate?

 

[Kusagari]

Trump sounds pissed in that final tweet that they have to bail them out.

 

[sc0la]

Then I look forward to Colin Kaepernick getting picked up by a team any minute now, I guess.

That would be hilarious if the end result was kaep getting picked up. lol
Donald “Reverse Midas” Trump strikes again.

“Get that son of a nice lady on the field, you’re hired!”

"Their stuff is old and shitty and they kind of owe us a lot of money, but I guess we can help them out." -President of the United States

 

[BoogieWoogie]

I'll show Wall Street and the Big Banks by giving them giant tax cuts!

 

[Diablos]

Here comes Bernie!

 

[Futurevoid]

Cassidy is creepy as fuck looking.

 

[Diablos]

Klobuchar be sitting there like “why am I with these clowns tonight”

 

[AntraxSuicide]

 

[Tarydax]

That opening salvo from Bernie was actually pretty good, even if he did bring up single payer.

 

[Surfinn]

Trump finally tweeted something about Puerto Rico............ :/

Wow.

Might as well have tweeted "Fuck you Puerto Rico"

 

[Diablos]

Go Amy woooo

What the fuck is this

That... is up there with levels of shit he tends to post. A country that is part of the fucking US got hit by a massive storm, and the President of the United States is going to sit there and shit on them about how terrible their infrastructure is and how much debt they are in.

What a beta cuck.

 

[Brock Reiher]

What the fuck is this

He's treating PR like its Tiffany and Texas/Florida are both Ivanka.

What an asshole.

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

If you told me lizard people exist and showed a picture of Cassidy as proof, I’d believe you.

 

[Kusagari]

Cassidy talks and looks like a villain from Die Hard.

 

[Pixieking]

No doubt now that Puerto Rico and the US VI is Trump's Katrina. Those tweets just shine a light on how silent he's been on the issue up til now. It won't be reported on like Bush/Katrina immediately, but I think it'll be something he won't be able to hide from, and will taint his image more than the "Both Sides" comment from a few weeks ago.

On the plus side, this'll push PR statehood further into the news, and might make something more likely to happen on that front.

Edit:

Many have been openly wondering when help will arrive, whether from local officials or from the federal government. The first thing some villagers ask when they see outsiders: ”Are you FEMA?"

Sound familiar?

Graham is doing a good job. I’m just glad the no votes are on lock presumably.

 

[DTC]

bernie just wrecked graham w/ that reversal lol

Hoo boy...

[Zolo]

Trump's really been on a twitter rage these past few days.

 

[Diablos]

Cassidy keeps trying to cast Amy in a different light. It’s not working man

 

[Got the Shakes]

Cassidy seems proud that 15 governors support his bill. I'm guessing he doesn't realize that means that 35 governors don't support it.

 

[Autodidact]

By the pricking of my thumb, something Russian this way comes. As for Mueller's investigation, if it were done, 'twere well it were done quickly.

In sooth, I know not why Republicans are so evil.

 

[whyamihere]

Bernie Sanders is a very good defender of the ACA.

 

[neurosisxeno]

Of the top of my head it's like 5 deeply Republican Governors too. It's mostly states which didn't seek the Medicaid expansion and are getting more Medicaid money under Graham-Casshitty that approve of it. Or ones who just really didn't like Obama because reasons.

 

[Diablos]

Cassidy is worse than a car salesman. Jfc

 

[Kusagari]

Cassidy is one of the worst debaters I've ever seen.

Graham would have been better off just taking on them both alone.

It's really funny, he's terrible. And he's a doctor!

 

[DTC]

cassidy looks like a zombie creep lmao

also i love how bernie received massive applause when he said graham-cassidy had 20% approval and that the american people wanted to approve on obamacare not repeal.

[Wilsongt]

Another Mueller nugget must be getting ready to drop. Trump is becoming more unhinged than usual.

 

[Diablos]

I’M A DOC

 

[Plinko]

I have to admit--Bernie is doing a good job of staying focused here.

 

[Aaron Strife]

Graham is doing a good job. I’m just glad the no votes are on lock presumably.

This is such a bad take. He tries to turn shit like "Medicare for none" into applause lines and it goes over like a lead balloon. No one's buying what he's selling.

 

[Wilsongt]

[jtb]

I think Bernie's best issue is probably healthcare, even moreso than Wall Street. He's really the Dems best messenger on the issue; he understands how to distill the issue down to a moral framework of right and wrong.

I have to admit--Bernie is doing a good job of staying focused here.

I never doubted it; I've been very impressed with how much of a team player he's been on the ACA repeal front.

 

[LostMyNarbles]

SOCIALIST HE'S EVIL!!!!11

 

[neurosisxeno]

I have to admit--Bernie is doing a good job of staying focused here.

It's one of 2 topics he's really effective at discussing. If he couldn't do well in a Health Care debate, it would be pretty telling.

 

[Y2Kev]

He's the best messenger on everything except for maybe social justice stuff. Which obviously is important. But it's very clear that Bernie a) has a good message and b) has charisma, which puts him far ahead of everyone else in the party except for maybe Obama.

I was not on the Bernie train last year but I would be next time.

He’s saying what he needs to say and he doesn’t sound like a complete tool like Cassidy.

PSA pointed it out--Cassidy is possibly one of the worst public speakers in the entire Senate. It's mind blowing that he was able to get elected...

 

[Kusagari]

Cassidy is one of those people who always try to explain things like they're talking to children.

Comes off as extremely condescending
