    Robert Reich:

    Tonight, Republican House leaders couldn't muster enough votes on their revised bill to repeal the Affordable Care Act. The bill would have allowed states to opt out of the Act's central provisions: requiring coverage for “essential health benefits” such as maternity and preventive care; and barring insurers from charging people with preexisting medical problems more than others. The revised bill would also cut Medicaid by $880 billion.

    House leaders need 216 votes to pass a bill. They couldn't get them because every House Democrat opposes their legislation, and more than 22 Republicans from districts that could flip to Democrats in 2018 also refused to go along.

    Trump is getting zilch from House Republicans. He couldn’t even get them to include money for his wall in the Republican bill to continue funding government.

    I think House Republicans are watching Trump’s sagging polls, chaotic White House, and blow-hard threats, and deciding they can buck him.

    So maybe, just maybe, you shouldn't have wasted 19 of those "first 100 days" on the golf course?

    Of course it's more work than his previous life; he's never done more than an hour of actual hard demanding work one single day in his whole goddamn silver-spoon life.
    He's had his nuts powdered with cinnamon sugar by bikini babes every morning since he was in diapers.

    Maybe so, but if she has the kind of judgement that lets her marry Alex Jones in the first place she's already down a strike.

    The least she can do is get them vaccinated and send them to good schools where they can learn critical thinking, real US history and evolution.
