Will Mike Flood commit to not voting for the marked-up version of it if that provision is still in it after the Senate passes its version?

Here’s a cognitive test question for Trump that the media should ask: What specifically was your score on that cognitive test you keep talking about?

He weighs 345 at least, if he weighs an ounce.

Also, whatever happened to all the so-called conservatives chanting in lockstep that the government should not be picking winners and losers in American industry? Clearly that was just code for them hating green energy and any other industry that might help us succeed in the future.

Good luck finding a flak jacket that would fit around Trump’s 335lb “body”.

What more can you expect when people put dipshits like Tuberville in charge of anything more important than a football team?

Imagine how much better off the world would be if those with the power to do so simply sidelined Trump, ignored him, and otherwise treated him like the complete, useless dipshit that he is.

The fact that Vance says they are monitoring the situation should give pause, not comfort, considering the Trump administration’s main characteristic is incompetence.

It’s maddening that society has handed over so much power to corporations, complains about the resultant injustices, and then, instead of doing something about it, hands the keys over to the party that will most accelerate the trends that are causing the problem.

I doubt such a bill would pass the Senate, so Biden wouldn’t have to veto it, but it would be nice if he could project the sense that he is still our president.

I agree that Musk is awful, but, separate and apart from everything else, based on the last few years, it’s clear that congress doesn’t deserve a raise.

Not sure they watch the MSM (or would believe it, if they did). They’re a bunch of low information voters who prefer to stay that way.

Quite the collection of dimwits, nitwits, and dipshits.

It’s far from perfect and definitely does all the things it’s accused of, but there is a reason people pay premiums, and it’s the same reason any insurance exists. Single payer would still be a vast improvement though.

I’m 100% in favor of single payer, but I disagree that there’s no reason for private health insurance to exist. Given the current absence of single payer, it seems obvious that private health insurance exists to allow people to avoid huge bills (or bankruptcy) in the event of a major health event.

Don’t blame Jack Smith for the fact that 76 million so-called Americans have no use for justice, personal integrity or accountability.

The only thing Marco Rubio has in common with Madeleine Albright is that they have both worn high heels.

Also, self-loathing. They know they don’t deserve any better.

Foreign adversaries? Okay. But the actual GOP nominee has been spreading false narratives since he first descended on his stupid escalator.

Oh good lord, no. I don’t think I’d be able to walk past a rack of Che Guevara-like t-shirts with Trump’s stupid face on them without laughing.

Another conservative attempt to enrich their friends by impoverishing the rest of us.

Something tells me we wouldn’t have to go so far back in Trump’s family tree to find something far worse.

Agreed. Not only did all of his delays endanger the secret service agents who were trying to protect him and get him out of there, but are we also supposed to believe that the shot knocked him out of his shoes? Or does he take his shoes off at the podium like a freak?

Apparently most people aged 18-29 prefer “more money for rich people” over effective government policies, which totally sucks.

You gotta love how Roberts tries to frame the 1984 Chevron decision as made by a “bare quorum” when the exact same number of justices voted to kill it in 2024. Meanwhile, the ‘84 decision was unanimous but the ‘24 decision had three dissenters. Roberts is disingenuous at best.

The morons that always complain about how many pages long a bill is are really going to hate how long they are going to have to be after this totally misguided and amateurish decision. Roberts proves time and again that he has just absolutely terrible judgment.

“Spud” Kennedy

I guess maybe he speaks to people like him: poorly educated, dim-witted, angry, schmucks.

How about 6 months in prison with another 3.5 suspended as long as he doesn’t say anything about the justice system, jury, judge, prosecutors, etc? Any violation, boom, right back to serve the rest of his sentence.

They’d rather get none of what they want and be obnoxious about it than get some of what they want.

Just impeach the guy already. And legislate a code of ethics for the court or curb its jurisdiction or expand it to add more liberals.

I don’t think Netanyahu would have been willing to pull out of Gaza and the West Bank in response to October 7th. So what would you do in Israel’s place? Serious question.
