tl;dr: gop source admits there was never the slightest chance obamacare would be repealed, and they simply weaponized it politically as votebait

They're doing the same thing with Trump's tax reform proposal. Because unless a filibuster by the Dems isn't broken, the 10-year restriction on changes to the tax code that increases the deficit would actually restrict how long the corporate tax rate reduction could last before having to revert to the current rate. And because of the carry-forward provision for business income, that time limit would be 3 years.

Trump needs a victory that doesn't destroy our country or end all life on the planet, maybe even something bipartisan.
My advice is to free Otto and cut a deal w NK to stop making nukes. I think NK w a H bomb is unacceptable but NK is such a cash cow for the MIC and our elected officials are so owned by lobbyists that they will probably avoid a peaceful resolution w NK at all costs. Send in Rodman?
On Laura's reaction when she was sentenced to 12 years of hard labor
Laura Ling: "I had tried to prepare myself for a lengthy sentence but nothing could prepare me for the verdict, when I heard the words '12 years.' And it was after the judge said '12 years,' he said, 'No forgiveness, no appeal.' And that really cut into me, because all along I had been hoping that there might be the opportunity for an appeal despite the long sentence. And I was wondering if those words meant that the window of opportunity had closed and my fate was sealed."
Lisa and Laura Ling grew up in Sacramento, Calif. The two sisters say the North Korean incident brought them closer together.

On former President Clinton's arrival in North Korea
Lisa Ling: "We're so used to seeing a jovial character, and when he descended off that plane, just to see that completely deadpan expression on his face was so out of the ordinary."
Laura Ling: "And he later said that he, in fact, had to practice [his stoicism]. That Hillary and Chelsea had to coach him so that he could maintain that look of total stoicism. We also learned that there was a whole itinerary that the North Koreans wanted [President] Clinton and his team to attend, visits to various monuments — a whole stadium filled with child acrobatic performers. And they had to be careful to walk that line and not attend any of those events so as not to seem like they were being chummy with the North Koreans or the North Korean leader. ... And I think they walked that line very well. They stuck to the mission at hand, which was to bring us home."
LOL, THAT'S IT? The US has been trying to get NK to stop its nuke program since the 1990s, and you just fucking realized this? Yeah, why don't we just give them a buzz on the phone and ask them to stop.
This has to be the dumbest post if the last year, with the exception of about 35% of Larry's posts.
Yo, Kim, can you just stops with the nukes, ok?
I believe Kim is just bluffing with all of this. It's all they got. His little chubby ass enjoys all the shit he has way too much to lose it over an ego-trip. I'd ignore him like a petulant child. See, e.g.,
I really don't feel like pwning you, maybe later. Ok I'll throw you a nugget, dude North Korea will totally drop it's nuke program if we were willing to make some small concessions and stick to our half of the agreement.
Homework: Write this a hundred times. Unfortunately our real goal isn't a nuke free NK it's to sell as much military equipment as we can to SK and japan.
Unrelated sort of
Anyhow this is a really good documentary called Inside the Kimdom. It's about the contents of 12 or 14k pages of secret North Korean documents.
Cliffs: Kim Un may be more delusional, more full of shit and more incompetent than our dear leader, it's pretty close.
If NK didn't have nukes Kim would already be dead and a puppet put into his place. No way he ever gives them up. China completely controls their weapons anyhow, if they don't authorize the launch sequence the missile self destructs. Trump is being played again.
He's going to get a nice blue spruce shoved up his ass by Canada next.
So much winning.

Ok Trump has just invited Rodrigo Duerte to The White House. Republican forum members get in here and announce your resignation from the Republican party, quickly gentlemen!
URGENT! If you're still a Republican please enlist the help of your nearest mental health professional.
I am not/ never was a Republican, but i do admire Rodrigos style, i think trump can learn alot from him and vice versa.
