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
A sand n-word with good vocabulary, who knew.

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:

These agencies have a lot going on 24/7 and no damn honkey politician is going to stop it. If they try, things can get ugly.
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.
DOJ: New phone, who dis?
