"Healthcare" bill pulled before the vote... again.

Is that it?
GOP finally makes good on its 2009 promise to stymie the Presidents health care plan!

The circus keeps rolling on . . . from 'lock her up' to 'I want immunity' in less than a year!!!

I don't see much commentary on the fact that Flynn was consulting for the Turkish government - i.e was the agent of a foreign power - while acting as advisor on national security and foreign policy to the Trump campaign. To act for a foreign government without disclosing it and registering as a foreign agent is a criminal offence. All the time he was cheerleading the "lock her up" chants he was engaged in activity that should see him locked up. Is this the charge from which he's seeking immunity in return for testifying about the Russian connection?

And it's rather ironic that Flynn is seeking immunity and Trump is cheering him doing it, after Flynn himself screaming last year that no one who is innocent of the crime of which they were suspected would seek immunity!

Which brings us back to Trump cheering his immunity plea - why the f**k would Flynn seek immunity and would his lawyers talk about the "story he has to tell" if there wasn't some dodgy shit there that he was afraid of being held accountable on and shit he had to offer on other people?

Perhaps Trump is counting on the FBI and Congress burying this?

Which anti-clinton news was this? The emails released through wikileaks? These weren't fake.
She was exposed but for some reason democrats seem to think this isn't fair? Surely its a good thing that truth comes out about what a candidate is getting up to.

This is like watching a loser in the Eurovision song contest blame all the eastern bloc states for voting en masse even though their own song was shite and is still looking for a recount/disqualification months after the result. Sad.

Democrats are creating a horrible template for every future president and how opponents are going to deal with them when they get into power. Nothing will ever get done due to legal cases and protests. Congrats dumbasses.


Every second of the day there's a Democrat telling a lie

Surely the Democrats nominate somebody capable of Governing rather than some half successful reality TV star?!!! The difficulties the Rs are having with Healthcare actually shows how capable a President Obama was. While Obamacare isn't perfect the reality is no system is perfect and nobody has come up with a better alternative that isn't going to buck 10% of the population off healthcare!

Strange how Anti-Trumpers have said for the past 2 years how it would be a disaster if Trump got in the Whitehouse and now it's come to fruition. The problem with voting in people who have no experience in Government or Politics is that when they have to operate in this realm they are not able to.

But y'know build the wall, lock her up, jobs, coal and f**k climate change so it's OK!

Are you for real after the past eight years? Template me fuckin arse! ;D

And the issue is not the exposure, it's the one-sided exposure seemingly done in cahoots with Trump. Unless you're saying there were no skeletons in the GOP or Trump closet?

Although there's allegations this week that the Russians were interfering in favour of Trump against Cruz and Rubio as well.

I  love the use of the word "interfering".   

Were The NY Times "interfering" when they edited a story mid morning to take out unfavorable opinion on Hillary after a call from the Hillary campaign.

Were CNN "interfering" when they leaked debate questions to Hillarys campaign?

(I think) CBS colluded with the Hillary campaign to devise some "gotcha" questions for an interview with Ted Cruz-was that "interfering"?

There's so much fvcking "interfering" going on,!unless the Russians actually hacked a polling machine it's all just white noise at this point

If there is nothing to see here whitey, why is a campaign heavyweight and cabinet member who was kicked out due to a scandal after THREE WEEKS seeking immunity from investigations being conducted by a government completely under the control of his own party?

foxcommander

Maybe this is the perfect time for congress to review the 2010 Leinster final and award it to Louth.
Joe Sheridan was believed to be aided by Vladimir Putin in carrying the ball over the line for the winning score. Meath ran a dirty PR campaign and refused any investigation into alleged interference by Comrade Martin Sludden.

The Russian sphere of influence seems to be everywhere.

Per Michael Smerconish "smart lawyering"

All of Hillarys aides got immunity too (oh and they were allowed to destroy their laptops as well)

Yes, because editorial bias in the media is the same as infiltration by a foreign power.

End result is identical.....tipping the scale in favor of one candidate over another impafts favorable/unfavorable ratings and either helps or suppress turnout

Shoot, we even had Dan Rather break a story (completely false) about GW Bush less than a week before an election in an effort to torpedo his candidacy.
