This is the type of piece of shit Trump endorses.

Given Trump himself is a piece of shit rapist it's not surprising.

Yeah, but at least he's pissed the Klan and the Nazis off.

Not sure where Trump "endorsed" Duterte. The guy is the President of the Philippines, and Philippino support is needed in the issue with the DPRK. Was Obama "endorsing" Mbasogo who killed or jailed all of his political opponents in Equatorial Guinea, and Jammeh from Gambia who threatened to cut of the hands of homosexuals in Gambia? Were they the "types of pieces of shit Obama endorsed?"

Republican moderates set to thwart party's bid to repeal Obamacare

The push to repeal and replace Obamacare seemed likely to fail yet again as many House Republicans on Tuesday expressed unease with how the proposed legislation would affect people with pre-existing conditions.

In a reversal of the dynamic when Republicans last attempted to repeal Obamacare in March, the new plan has received backing from the Freedom Caucus, a recalcitrant group of arch-conservatives who are more often associated with spoiling the GOP leadership’s agenda than supporting it. This time around a significant number of the holdouts are moderates who are making a rare break with the leadership to oppose the legislation.

The current bill would allow states to waive provisions that require insurers to cover “essential health benefits”, which include maternity, prescription drug treatment and mental health care. It also allows removes protections that guarantee people with pre-existing medical conditions will not be charged higher rates.

Republicans disagree publicly about how the new amendment will affect Americans with pre-existing conditions. Paul Ryan, the House speaker, has stated that sicker Americans would be “better off” under the Republican healthcare plan, and promised that there are a “few layers of protections for pre-existing conditions in this bill”. But the bill is opposed by a coalition of influential advocacy groups, including the American Medical Association.

These changes have alienated previously loyal members of the Republican caucus. On Tuesday, Fred Upton of Michigan, the former chairman of the House energy and commerce committee, announced his opposition to the new version of the healthcare plan, saying an amendment added to appease conservatives “torpedoes” protections for people with pre-existing health conditions.

“I’m not at all comfortable with removing that protection,” Upton said during an interview on a local radio show, WHTC on Tuesday morning. He added: “I cannot support this bill with this provision in it.”...

I think part of the problem here is that the Republican definitions of what 'better' means seems to vary so much.

The reason for the plan negotiated between the Republicans and Democrats is that we need 60 votes in the Senate which are not there! We...

either elect more Republican senators in 2018 or change the rules now to 51%. Our country needs a good ‘shutdown’ in September to fix mess!

50.000000000000000000000000000000000000000001% would do it. Or, if you're going to fiddle the books to make sure that you can do whatever you like, why not change the rules to pass the budget on a 49% approval, or a 30%, or just 'on the nod' of the Speaker.

Remember when Trump promised to protect the LGBT community?

Trump is a clueless cunt, a puppet whose strings are being pulled by extreme right-wing bigots.

50.000000000000000000000000000000000000000001% would do it.

I have my doubts about that.
You can have 50% or 51% of 100 people. Don't know how you get to 50.000000000000000000000000000000000000000001% though ?

Or are you counting foreskins?

Yeah but what about their foreskins?

By contrast, Monday's proclamation was explicit: "The Holocaust was the state-sponsored, systematic persecution and attempted annihilation of European Jewry by the Nazi regime and its collaborators," Trump said in his proclamation Monday. "By the end of World War II, six million Jews had been brutally slaughtered."

Other than that, Hitler was s cool guy, Germany first! He would have been great friends with Robert E Lee.

Yeh, but, there are only 100 US senators.

Has anyone else noticed that when Trump says something like, "... not many people know that X ... " he actually comes across like he's just found out about X.

"Most people don't even know he [Lincoln] was a Republican. Right? Does anyone know? A lot of people don't know that. We have to build that up a little more. "

See what Colbert wrote about Donald? -

“You have more people marching against you than cancer,” said Colbert. “You talk like a sign language gorilla that got hit in the head. In fact, the only thing your mouth is good for is being Vladimir Putin’s c*ck holster.”

I wish as it looks like he is letting his retarded twat of a daughter and her Soros funded globalist corporate cunt of a husband call the shots.

Seem odd to Avtomat that we is spend so much rubles on military, and still cannot handle tin pot dictator without help of scum?

Trump's AmeriKKKa.

Three women involved with the activist group Code Pink were convicted Wednesday on disruption charges after protesting Attorney General Jeff Sessions' Senate confirmation hearing in January. One of the women, Desiree Fairooz, was found guilty of "disorderly or disruptive" conduct for laughing at Sen. Richard Shelby's (R-Ala.) claim that Sessions had a well-documented record of "treating all Americans equally under the law."

Federal prosecutors said Fairooz's laughing caused enough of a disruption to turn heads and divert attention from the hearing. They also accused her of provoking further disturbance when she protested her eventual ejection from the hearing.

The campaign director for Code Pink, Ariel Gold, who was sitting near Fairooz during the January 10 hearing, described the laughs as merely a "reflex" and said they were fainter than a cough. HuffPost's Ryan J. Reilly was also present at the hearing and recorded Fairooz's removal:
