    If it walks like a threat and smells like a threat, then it's not a threat. Is that guy for real?

        I was but I got rep that showed me it is in fact a song lyric. Funny.

        BTW, I don't typically care for The Replacements, but that is a good song.

          Good to know the president's fully on board supporting legislation that doesn't even come close to what he promised people in the campaign. So he won't mind when we call it Trumpcare and hang it on his and every republican running for re-election's neck. He owns it now.

                  Not really. When it happens to Democrats they lose power. The Freedom Caucus gained the GOP power.

                    Jim Carroll Band, what little I've heard of them, had a brash, punkish aggressiveness. The Replacements are squarely in the Faces/Keith Richards classic rock idiom, maybe a little punk aggression, with a hefty love of bubblegum pop added in.

                    I was at this show.

                      I meant Jonathan Richman, not Jim Carroll. I'm getting really old.

                      I like the version in your link. Maybe I should try them again.

                      Edit: 4 songs later. Holy f-ck. They're great. Now I have to listen to ALL of it from the beginning.

                      Also looks like from the concert footage on YouTube that live they were, uh, erratic?

The amendments improve the Medicaid reforms in the original bill, but do little to address the core problem of Obamacare: rising premiums and deductibles, which are making insurance unaffordable for too many Arkansans. The House should continue its work on this bill. It's more important to finally get health-care reform right than to get it fast.

                          Tom Cotton had, "DO YOUR JOB" screamed at him during his Town Hall. He's also too young to just stand there and smile like a Cheshire Cat (a.k.a. Mitch McConnell syndrome).

                              POTUS had an analyst on yesterday talking about "the momentum of failure": that a high profile administration FAIL increases friction and emboldens criticism, and just generally makes life harder. A very short skein of failures, as few as 3 if they're big enough, can destroy a presidency (c.f., Carter, James Earl).

                                Well it doesnt help when your approval rating is 37% and your people are being caught in new lies daily and the word treason gets mentioned because of Russia. If he doesnt have any coattails then the Congressman up for re-election (especially from districts that are say...less than lilly white and rich) are going to have to distance themselves from him. This will lead to Breitbart going after them like they did Ryan...
