The Republican-led Congress is wasting no time forcing through the most horrendous bills seen in decades while America’s eyes are on Russia.
With both houses of Congress solidly under Republican control, there’s little in the way to stop House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wisconsin) and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Kentucky) from sending bills to President Trump’s desk that embody the most dangerous aspects of radical right-wing ideology.
However unlikely these bills’ passage would have seemed in the 114th Congress, the possibility of these nine bills becoming law is much higher now, especially considering the flurry of headlines around Donald Trump’s ties to Russia, Attorney General Jeff Sessions’ recusal on the ongoing investigation into the president’s Russian connections, and Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak’s multiple meetings with several of Trump’s top lieutenants.
Here are the nine worst bills to keep an eye on:
1. H.R. 861: To terminate the Environmental Protection Agency
This bill — cosponsored by Republican members of Congress from fossil fuel-producing states — is just one sentence long, and says nothing about what would happen to the multiple environmental regulations the EPA has instituted since 1970, or its multibillion-dollar budget, or its thousands of staffers. H.R. 861 is currently awaiting action in the subcommittee on environment.
2. H.R. 610: Tax dollars for private schools
Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) introduced this bill in January, which would redistribute funding earmarked for public schools in the form of vouchers for parents to send children to private schools. Over the long term, this would eventually bankrupt public schools, and create a stratified education system in which cash-strapped public schools would be unable to meet the educational needs of low-income students. The bill is awaiting action in the House Committee on Education and the Workforce.
3. H.R. 899: To terminate the Department of Education
If this bill, introduced by Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Kentucky), becomes law, the U.S. Department of Education would terminate by the end of 2018. The bill’s brevity leaves many questions unanswered, like what would happen with Department of Education grants for public schools and universities, its budget, or its staff. Education Secretary Betsy DeVos has said she would personally be “fine” if the agency she heads were to be abolished.
4. H.J.R. 69: To repeal a rule protecting wildlife
Rep. Don Young (R-Alaska), whose constituents likely include hunters who kill wildlife for sport rather than for food, introduced this joint resolution voicing displeasure with a Department of Interior rule that prohibits “non-subsistence” hunting in the Alaska National Wildlife Refuge. The resolution passed the House and is awaiting action in the Senate.
5. H.R. 370: To repeal the Affordable Care Act
While President Obama was in office, House Republicans voted at least 60 times to repeal the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act — also known as Obamacare — despite its futility. However, the Trump administration has made the repeal of Obamacare a top priority, meaning the repeal bill from Rep. Bill Flores (R-Texas) is likely to pass.
6. H.R. 354: To defund Planned Parenthood
Despite the widely publicized debunking of the video alleging the women’s health nonprofit was selling human organs, Republicans are still refusing to stop destroying Planned Parenthood. Rep. Diane Black (R-Tennessee) introduced a bill that would prevent any federal grants from going to Planned Parenthood for a full year unless they swore to not perform abortions. As the chart below from Planned Parenthood shows, only 3 percent of Planned Parenthood resources go toward abortions, while the vast majority of funding is used to help low-income women get STD tests, contraceptive care, and breast cancer screenings:
7. H.R. 785: National Right-to-Work legislation
Conservative ideologue Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) is aiming to cripple unions at the nationwide level with a bill that would systematically deprive labor unions of the funding they need to operate. Unions often provide one of the crucial pillars of support for Democratic candidates and causes, and conservatives aim to destroy them once and for all by going after their funding. It’s important to note that right-to-work is bad for all workers, not just union members — in 2015, the Economic Policy Institute learned that wages in right-to-work states are roughly 3.2 percent lower than in non-right-to-work states.
8. H.R. 83: Mobilizing Against Sanctuary Cities Act
Multiple cities and states around the country have openly stated that they won’t abide by President Trump’s plan to aggressively round up and deport undocumented immigrants. A bill by Rep. Lou Barletta (R-Pennsylvania) would strip all federal funding of any city that doesn’t obey Trump’s immigration policies for up to a year.
9. H.R. 147: To criminalize abortion
Rep. Trent Franks (R-Arizona) wants to aggressively prosecute pregnant women seeking abortions, along with abortion providers, by making abortion a felony punishable by up to five years in prison. The bill is currently awaiting action in the Subcommittee on the Constitution and Civil Justice.
Lets gut our entire federal govt and divert that money into more war for Israel and defense contractors.
Be good Goys and blame everything on the Russia.

Druff, this clown posts zero content. He's purely a troll now. Ban him right in his gook face.
No president can order a wiretap on his own. For federal agents to obtain a wiretap on trump, or anyone else, the Justice Department would first have had to convince a federal judge that it had gathered sufficient evidence of probable cause to believe trump had committed a serious crime or was an agent of a foreign power, depending on whether it was a criminal or foreign intelligence wiretap. In which case we have someone in the White House who shouldn’t be making decisions that could endanger America or the world.
trump cited no evidence for his accusation. trump pissed off about sessions recusal announcement drowning out reports of "finally presidential" speech. trump, spicer, conway etc never cite evidence or source. deflect, lie and work to stay at top of media attention.
peeps, we’ve got a huge problem on our hands. Either:
1. trump is more nuts than we suspected – a true delusional paranoid who shouldn’t be anywhere near the nuclear codes that could obliterate the planet, or near anything else that could determine the fate of America or the world.
2. Or trump’s outburst was triggered by commentary in the “alt-right” publication, Breitbart News, on Friday, which reported an assertion made Thursday night by right-wing talk-radio host Mark Levin suggesting Obama and his administration used “police state” tactics last fall to monitor the trump team’s dealings with Russian operatives.
But if this was the case, we’ve got a president willing to put the prestige and power of his office behind baseless claims emanating from well-known right-wing purveyors of lies. That means trump still shouldn’t be anywhere near the nuclear codes that could obliterate the planet or anywhere else he could do damage.
3. The third possibility is that trump is correct, and the Obama administration did in fact tap his phones. But if this was the case, before the tap could occur it’s highly likely trump committed a very serious crime, including treason. See first paragraph detailing actions necessary by federal agents and a judge for a wiretap to occur.
Dear young Trumptards (and conservobots): Meet some of your brainwashed Russian counterparts.

Lol at a crazy nut calling anyone delusional
Guy literally logs in religiously to red rep me lol too bad i blocked his autistic ass. But it's fitting that the other retards green rep a delusional fuck being that they are delusional aswell.
You never trumptards are insufferable bitter cunts, just posting diatribe after diatribe of delusional inverted CNN manufactured outrage, you're too stupid to realize you are in a bubble of fantasyland.
Cenk's the go to man in these confusing situations.

Had to be Hillary's people who went to the fisa court. She's Republican, her campaign's Republican and they do shit only Republican's would do. It's in their nature.
Trump's gone insane, the GOP's infiltrated by Putin (as if Israel wasn't enough) and the other GOP members are still protecting Trump. All I want to hear from the supposedly reasonable Republicans is calls for Trump to release his tax returns. Fuck no they won't even hold him to his word on tax returns. As long as there's war for Israel and the MIC and tax cuts they're cool w treason, the destruction of the US and the suffering of the citizens.
Gutting education so there's a bunch of dumb conservative voters in the future plus that shit you guys are doing to the Mexicans is fucked up. We're not going to forget this shit.
Edit: Here's the silver lining, getting revenge and doing what's right are the same thing.
You can literally pinpoint the new word mintjewlips learns each week

What the fuck does wire tapping phones have to do with nuclear codes?Quote:

You don't need a fucking warrant to wire tap phones. The feds have their own agents and friends inside the phone companies. The feds use a stingray and fake cellular transmitters to obtain information from cell phones.
Most of the time law enforcement fails to obtain a warrant for phones unless the case has been referred for prosecution.

I'd fuck that girl though. Just to hear her moan da, da, da.Quote:

It's like 17 to 1 so all newbies get a break to some extent. Leaks of some form will keep coming if someone's upsetting the apple cart.
17? How could anything go wrong?

Respectfully, no judge on earth is going to jeopardize their future and freedom by signing off on a FISA wire tap order in bad faith. It's one thing to blur the line a bit for a judgement call, but what youre suggesting (I think?) would get them disbarred for starters, long before the actual penalty phase began.
And any case that goes to court, all the above becomes subject to review, because its not like anyone thought Trump was going to get quietly renditioned to a chain link cage in Guantanamo one dark night.
So really the assertion that somehow Donald Fucking Trump would have his rights violated by an ambitious and overreaching Obama administration (of ALL administrations) is at best lazy, cynical, and misinformed.
Note that I'm not getting into the physics of NSA data collection, that's something all human life is subject to. We are specifically talking about targeted court ordered intercepts.
Which is another confusing metric in this debate because no one does meaningful surveillance by simply tapping a phone; the warrants generally cover a broad range of surveillance methods, so for someone to say "THE GOVERNMENT TAPPED MY PHONES !!!111ONEONE!!ELEVEN!1" betrays a fairly stunning level of ignorance about what happens when the FBI/DOJ classifies you as a target, and only underscores the rapidly developing picture of Trump as an intellectually subnormal paranoid with severe impulse control problems and a great deal to hide.
Also honestly whats more likely; the Obama administration risking impeachment or someone with a great sense of humor planting this story with an extremely right wing radio host they know has Bannon's ear.
Occams Razor that shit and then let me know if you really need to continue this conversation in depth.

Comey: Hey DOJ stop fucking around and put an end to this with a public statement because this catshit crazy drug addict is tearing the country apart from the inside.

Tine has so much egg on his face it's now an omelet.
Roger Stone was an early adviser to the Trump campaign and a 40 year veteran of Republican strategy. Last week, Breitbart.com said that Stone “remains one of his [Trump's] closest confidantes”.
Last night he tweeted about his "perfectly legal back channel" communications with Julian Assange, then deleted it.

You got played, suckas.

Oh, you're missing something, alright; the same thing the scarecrow is missing.
19 days at sea...just getting into Charleston, South Carolina before heading to Spain
Big shocker...Trump still crushing skulls and the same libtard faggots are still spinning out of control
Nice to have interwebs again...will post new thread manana
Said the wicked mick of the west.
:lol
So wikileaks post emails proving collusion between the DNC and the Clinton campaign and nothing happens to the people involved, like absolutely nothing, it was a footnote at best in the election coverage, yet there is ZERO evidence of russia "hacking" the election to benefit trump and the corporate run media is still losing their shit. So, seems like shit hasn't changed tyde, you didn't miss anything.
Now Roger Stone is denying that he ever denied having "back channels" to Jullian Assange.
Here he is on October 12, admitting back channels buy denying that Wikileaks "tells me in advance what they're going to do."
http://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2016...-false-n665441
And he is three days later talking about the "devastating" info that Wikileaks is going to reveal "next week".
https://news.vice.com/story/trump-su...shells-to-come
Lol at not knowing roger stone is a troll, i know this is the first time barry ever heard of roger but as an avid alex jones listener i can tell you that they both intentionally throw what jones calls "red meat" out for idiots like barry to salivate all over.
Hey barry i have secret back channels to julian asange too
:lol2
Oh shit let me delete that before some retard takes it seriously

Third, he and Micon were very close to the same height and the weight that Barry did have on him was mainly body fat and not muscle. Again Barry never claimed to be an athlete, and I would argue that Micon has actually more of an athletic build.
Fourth, it seems to me you really don't know shit about being in a fight, because if you did you'd know that wirey motherfuckers are some of the toughest people to get into a fight with. Never, never underestimate a skinny person when it comes to a fight.
Fifth... it takes a lot of balls to get up in front of that many people and put yourself out there like that. Everyone who was anyone gave him a shitload of credit for that. Also anyone that was at the fight would tell you micon was no slouch. He battled. Barry was bleeding profusely out of his nose and continued to fight. He coul barely even breathe.
Sixth... again, you are simply too much of a pussy to even show your face around here let alone get punched in the face, so do yourself a favor and just shut the fuck up so you don't look as stupid as you constantly do.
Seventh... I don't know why I even bother with you, you are obviously going to troll every post I make with inaccurate, retarded responses. It's just so simple to make you look so incredibly stupid though that it's almost impossible for me not to respond.
We had a great referee. Look at that intensity.
Just beach balls coming in
:lol2
But im a douche because i hit them out of the park..
The wheels are coming off the train Trumpette's. When the former Republican administration officials all the way up to the former president start throwing punches it's only a matter of time till its Game Over.Quote:
"I can't figure out why the administration is taking the position on Russia that it is," said Kori Schake, a former Bush administration Pentagon official.
"It doesn't make sense to me for all sorts of reasons," Schake said. "The obduracy with which they are committed to it. The kind of weird connections and weird answers that they keep giving. Something doesn't feel right."
Do you all really think nothing more is going to come of this??? LOL!!! It's only going to get worse. Shit is going to be uncovered that will be so damning there will be no denying the collusion or conspiracy... Mind blowing shit... So many cover ups are going to come to light... There will be no coming back from this... There will be blood.
The fact that he doesn't release his tax returns to clear a lot of this up says so much, yet none of you care...
And lol with this Pence AOL shit. He says it's not the same as Hillary's scandal...lol. Yeah, it's not, it's worse. Of course none of you hypocritical jokers care about that either.
The idiocy runs deep today, hopefully intelligence prevails tomorrow.

The Pence AOL thing isn't anywhere near the same as the Hillary e-mail scandal.Quote:

It was still stupid for Pence to use a system like AOL for his e-mails, because clearly there are a lot of private matters that even a governor wouldn't want seen by the public.
But it didn't compromise national security.
Hillary Clinton was Secretary of State, and violated all kinds of laws and protocols involving the use of a private e-mail server at home. Unlike Pence, she was dealing with all kinds of matters of national security.
Hillary also was extremely dishonest in the way she handled the situation once the story came out, most notably her deletion of 33,000 e-mails from the server before anyone from the outside was able to examine them. Pence did no such thing.
But wait here's former AG under bush proving vegas is full of shit..
http://thehill.com/business-a-lobbyi...s-surveillanceQuote:
Former Attorney General Michael Mukasey on Sunday said that President Trump is likely correct that there was surveillance on Trump Tower for intelligence purposes, but incorrect in accusing former President Barack Obama of ordering the wiretapping.
“I think he’s right in that there was surveillance and that it was conducted at the behest of the attorney general — at the Justice Department,” Mukasey told ABC’s “This Week.”
Trump on Saturday accused Obama of wiretapping Trump Tower in New York City just before the November election.
