.@SenatorCollins to @ThisWeekABC: GOP health care bill "would make sweeping and deep cuts in the Medicaid program." https://t.co/GU2Q521gCS pic.twitter.com/lTQJoChRPW
Don. The Death Party plays this game so you can see the ball coming in slo-mo. They arenāt going to be truthful. You know it. Theyāre going to keep stringing you on. Nothing will happen. You keep playing. Like that Mummy in bandages thatās always just behind your eyes.
Wondering why Republican govs have more sense on TrumpCare than their Senate counterparts? Because lots of the govs' terms are up next year. pic.twitter.com/DvtjVhiEMF
This is really a laugh - none of these republicans - like the rest of the USA haave a clue what the bill is about, other than tax cuts for the rich and killing the poor. The fools really believed Trumpās plan would be bigger and better.
What is your local news reporting about the flash flood in Payson AZ, which killed 7 (not sure if that happened overnight or this morning?).
Used to love reading Arizona Highways (is that magazine still being published?) and they often had articles about the Mogollon Rim, which Iāve never traveled to, so have no idea what itās like there. š¦
Yes! Arizona Highways is still around:) Great photos and interesting info, for sure! Yes, local news is reporting about this awful flood that killed so many.
Have you been to that area? Wikipedia tells me it used to be called “Zane Grey territory” in the 1970-80s, but no longer carries that designation — and Wikipedia tells me that Zane Greyās first name was “Pearl” (!) — and we complain today about names people give their children.
I wonder if this has never happened before in that area — or were the victims aware of the flash flood danger? So tragic for everyone involved, and all Arizonans. š¦

And still democrats work to save them - and the media tells stories about how the country ignores them - just maybe they have to reach rock bottom - except for all the good folks they take down with them.

republicans have done so many arrogant and corruption-focused things that will come and are coming down to haunt them;
some things I remember from the WJC time that were made normal by newt-led rabid republicans which will be applicable to the homegrown demagogue if and when that time comes :
(a) pushing the argument that a sitting president can be made to testify in all kinds of matters instead of waiting until he/she is out of office;
(b) justifying the charging a president with high crimes and misdemeanors because he publicly lied to the American people about an illegal/immoral activity;
(c) demanding that the FBI come and take physical bodily and other kinds of evidence from a sitting president;
(d) Ken Starr getting a legal ruling that the presidentās protective detail (and other members of the US Secret Service) are not obliged to claim privacy of their dealings with the person they protect. therefore they can be called into court to give testimony about the behavior and activities of the person they protect ;
in life, we are warned to try and not do petty or evil stuff to others because it may come back to haunt you;
