the CBO score is out:

American Health Care Act
CBO and the staff of the Joint Committee on Taxation (JCT) estimate that enacting the legislation—which would repeal or modify many provisions of the Affordable Care Act—would reduce federal deficits by $337 billion over the coming decade.

CBO and JCT estimate that in 2018, 14 million more people would be uninsured under the legislation than under current law. Later, after additional changes to subsidies for insurance purchased in the nongroup market and to the Medicaid program took effect, the increase in the number of uninsured people would rise to 21 million in 2020 and then to 24 million in 2026.

Fuck that guy. Obama and his lawyers should tie Trump up in court with a slander/libel/defamation suit (whichever is appropriate). He probably won't win but at least it will tie up some of Trumps goons for a while. They have to stop letting Trump slide. Someone needs to hold him accountable for this shit. I hope McCain and Graham have the balls to stand up to him on this.
i'm not sure, legally, you can sue a sitting (so-called) president over civil issues. i think they're legally insulated until they leave office.

"A private citizen may sue the President over alleged actions undertaken before or independently of the Presidential office. When the President acts on the authority of his office in any way, he is shielded by the doctrines of immunity."

So are Trump's tweets on the authority of his office? I think a legal argument can be made but I haven't stayed in a Holiday Inn Express for a while, so I am a little rusty. :grin:

Edit: Slate is one step ahead of me.

What I wouldn't give to be able to magically swap Mitch McConnell or Paul Ryan with some poor kid whose dad left before he was born and mom is a meth head. Let them live in that reality for a few years and see if they stick to their strict conservative principals.

Their idea of middle class is Ferris Bueller's parents.
 
so the latest announcements on not really meaning "wiretapping" are, . . . I don't even know. the double and triple speak is stunning.

And Conway, . . . I am with @Chad. Quit giving her air time. What a train wreck. Microwaves that turn into cameras or some shit like that? WTF?!

They just send her out to say whatever batshit crazy thing that pops into her head and most likely to deflect attention from what is actually happening.
