Fez Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Guys, I don't think there's going to be a conference anymore. The House is just going to vote on whatever the senate passes, if they pass something. Unclear yet if any senators know or care about this. They'll all still saying its just a way to get into conference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This country is so fucking stupid. 11 minutes ago, Fez said: Guys, I don't think there's going to be a conference anymore.

Mr. Chatywin et al. Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 32 minutes ago, denstorebog said: Well, look who's developed a tasted for limiting the president's powers. Graham writing bill to prevent Trump from firing special counsel Between this, the Russia sanctions bill and Grassley's statement that appointment of a new AG during recess is a no-go, it actually looks like the ball may be starting to roll on Congress vs. executive. I'm thinking Trump's threats against Murkowski haven't helped this at all. And on the other end: Quote CNN)Virginia Rep. Dave Brat laid blame on the media on Thursday for President Donald Trump's recent tirades against Attorney General Jeff Sessions. Asked by CNN's Kate Bolduan on "At This Hour" if Trump himself is responsible for putting Sessions on the outs, Brat rejected this notion. "No, the mainstream press has just been relentless," Brat said. When Bolduan disagreed, saying that the media did not force the President to tweet his attacks, Brat held his ground. "I think you did," Brat said. Trump has made a series of critical public remarks about Sessions, telling The New York Times last week that his attorney general should never have recused himself from the Russia investigation. Trump proceeded to tweet about Sessions, describing him as "beleaguered" and "weak." Many Republican lawmakers, however, have come out in support of the attorney general. "[Trump] is frustrated because he does not have an AG at the highest level who can respond to the key issue that the media is drilling him on all day," Brat said. Bolduan, seemingly in disbelief, continued to reject the notion that the media forced the President's hand, until Brat allowed: "I will concede the President did touch his keypad." "I feel like it's the Twilight Zone," Bolduan said. "Let's get out of the Twilight Zone.

denstorebog Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Quote NEWS CONFERENCE: Senators Graham, McCain, Purdue, Johnson and Lee on healthcare reform. Time: 5:15pm If they shit-talk the skinny repeal or McConnell, I'm erecting a shrine to Graham in my home and declaring him The Real Deal™. Also Quote The GOP-led Senate Appropriations Committee unanimously rejected President Trump’s proposed cuts to the Transportation Department, voting instead to increase the agency’s budget by nearly $1 billion and give funds to Obama-era programs Trump wanted to kill. Quote The GOP-led Senate Appropriations Committee passed a Democratic amendment that would protect legal medical marijuana users from being prosecuted by President Trump’s Justice Department. I think we have a battle royale on our hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
