President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

Zinke departs on foot

 

Obligatory "the best people" post.

 

I had completely forgotten about the time Zinke implied one of his congressional critics was an alcoholic.

 

The River keeper in the story works for Sound Rivers, a nonprofit advocacy group. No doubt it does good work. But, again, of course it’s going to be against this.

And we’re talking about a 3-year-old Obama Administration EPA regulations - which quickly became a headache for a lot of people - and rollbacks of those. And, on some level, there’s a discussion to be had about whether there’s a better middle ground. But this story wasn’t written with the slightest hint of balance.

 

It's the Intercept, so I don't necessarily expect balance. I expect advocacy.

As I do from the American Farm Bureau "newsroom."

If Zinke and Pruitt were both trampled by Zinke's horse inside Pruitt's soundproof booth while being waterboarded with water from Flint in Puerto Rico then dumped in a pile of coal ash, I'd applaud.

 

2021: Zinke returns to the public sector

 

Is Fredo or Zeppo the next Secty of Interior?

 

That insurance for adult children up to age 26? Gone.

Coverage for pre-existing conditions? Gone.

Health coverage for people who took jobs that didn't offer employer coverage, or no decent coverage? Gone.


GOP - all the promises that their new health care plan will make it ok to repeal the ACA? Broken.

The voters made it pretty clear in the last election that health care was a very big issue for the majority of them. Good luck weaseling away from being held accountable, Republicans. It's way too early to call a blue tsunami, but if this judge's activist ruling stands and is combined with Trump, I'd say that the D's have a running start for one.

 

Another Anti-Life judge.

 

I'm perfectly fine with this part. At 26, you need to be out of your parents' house and cut the apron strings. I'm fine with 21, or maybe even 22 because that should get you through college, but I've never been in favor of 26.
