Mnuchin, the treasury secretary, wanted a government jet to take him on a tour around Europe for his honeymoon. He claimed he needed the communications equipment, ya know for all those split second life-or-death treasury emergencies that a phone can't handle.

I can't figure out what the chances are on that abortion of a bill that is Graham-Cassidy. It's very obviously worse than anything so far and would turn the healthcare markets chaotic.

The three senators that halted BCRA were Collins, Murkowski, and McCain. Collins is talking like a solid no, Murkowski ain't saying poo poo but she's an unlikely yes, and McCain is being cagey and could go either way. On top of that, Rand Paul is making GBS threads all over it constantly and other than a sarcastic "leaning" comment, could very well be another no.

On the other hand, McCain and Paul could very easily turn shithead and vote for it.

On the other other hand, Graham-Cassidy kills so much funding from States that it's not a given that it completely sails through the House either, but probably would because of course it would.

No, they know that anything they send to the House will pass.

Given the relative slow movement around the bill and the fact that they've been out in the press braying about "Chaos in the markets!" and how "This is our last chance to repeal Obamacare!" I'm of the opinion that they don't have the votes yet.

The ACA became law in March of 2010. In the 7 years and 6 months since, hasn't the GOP spent more money trying to repel the law then the law actually costs?

quote:

Last September, Patrik Hermansson, a 25-year-old graduate student from Sweden, went undercover in the world of the extreme right. Posing as a student writing a thesis about the suppression of right-wing speech, he traveled from London to New York to Charlottesville, Va. — and into the heart of a dangerous movement that is experiencing a profound rejuvenation.

Mr. Hermansson, who was sent undercover by the British anti-racist watchdog group Hope Not Hate, spent months insinuating himself into the alt-right, using his Swedish nationality (many neo-Nazis are obsessed with Sweden because of its “Nordic” heritage) as a way in. It wasn’t always easy. “You want to punch them in the face,” he told me of the people he met undercover. “You want to scream and do whatever — leave. But you can’t do any of those things. You have to sit and smile.”

[...]


Some of Mr. Hermansson’s most arresting footage comes from a June meeting with Jason Reza Jorjani, a founder, along with the American white nationalist Richard Spencer and others, of the AltRight Corporation, an organization established to foster cooperation and coordination among alt-right groups in Europe and North America.

Mr. Hermansson and Mr. Jorjani met at an Irish pub near the Empire State Building, where the baby-faced Mr. Jorjani imagined a near future in which, thanks to liberal complacency over the migration crisis, Europe re-embraces fascism: “We will have a Europe, in 2050, where the bank notes have Adolf Hitler, Napoleon Bonaparte, Alexander the Great. And Hitler will be seen like that: like Napoleon, like Alexander, not like some weird monster who is unique in his own category — no, he is just going to be seen as a great European leader.”

More shockingly, Mr. Jorjani bragged about his contacts in the American government. “We had connections in the Trump administration — we were going to do things!” he said at one point. “I had contacts with the Trump administration,” he said at another.

(read the full article, watch the videos as well.)

quote:

As video Hermansson provided to the New York Times shows, he got one of the group’s highest-ranking members — Alt-Right Corporation board member Jason Reza Jorjani — to admit his “final solution” for minorities.

“It’s gonna end with the expulsion of the majority of the migrants, including [Muslim] citizens,” Jorjani told an undercover Hermansson at a pub near the Empire State Building in New York City. “It’s gonna end with concentration camps and expulsions and war at the cost of a few hundred million people.”

The Serial podcast about him covers it in detail and googling doesn't give his story very easily, but I wanna say the dude 'blacked out' and woke up in the bathroom all bloody and with a broken mirror, so he was given an uncharacteristic discharge that didn't prevent him from joining the army two years later.
