Ben ,'The Killer In Me'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
It's a win. I figure tonight's for celebrating, and then we can hunker down to fight against the next round of Trump-led insanity. Every win is a reminder that we can win, plus that whole not kicking a ton of people off of health insurance part, which is hardly a small thing.
It's a good end to the work week.
It's a win. We one a battle but not the war. I'm happy but I'm also wondering how they are going to try and screw over healthcare next. And also what is next on the agenda to mess up.
I'm not sure what this means for the Republicans..in fighting etc. Or if they'll come together on other things.
Timelies all!
I'm glad the bill got pulled, but worried because a number of the Congressfolk who opposed it did so because it didn't go far enough.

Which mirrors a lot of people I heard during the election who refused to vote for Hilary because she didn't go far enough. Many cut-off noses laying in the street.
Definitely true of the Freedom Caucus members who were going to vote against it, but I think their Let Them Eat Cake healthcare plan would drive even more moderate Republicans across the aisle on the issue.
This was not the night I needed a kid to barf in the pool.
Is there such a night?
Sorry, that was unnecessarily flippant. What's going on that made the pool-barf more than usually I'll-timed?

True.
It is a sense of relief to me that the Republicans are nearly as dysfunctional now with their control as they were previously. They are getting some awful things done, but the huge things like healthcare, infrastructure, and tax reform will have to be done in a bi-partisan system. The far right and the far left won't get anything done. So it is either get nothing big done or work with the middle. Not sure which way it will go.
Also, just noting that Rep. Joe Kennedy is really adorable. t old Irish motherly observation
Hey Emily!
Also, just noting that Rep. Joe Kennedy is really adorable.
It's true. (I have to call him the New Joe Kennedy, because his father was my congressman back in the day.)
And the previous Joe Kennedy was the old New Joe Kennedy. I mean, I love 'em, but can they get some new names?
