Welcome to The Now

It's about the policies, not the person. Over the past several months, Congress has approved a military spending bill , an extension of the surveillance law and sanctions on Russia. The Trump Administration decides to ignore the last one , and apparently some Democrats are upset. I don't understand why; you can't claim that Donald Trump is a danger to the country and probably has too many compromising connections to Russia WHILE GIVING HIM A BIGGER MILITARY BUDGET THAN HE ASKED FOR AND THE ABILITY TO SPY ON EVERYONE. At best, it makes your "resistance" appear to be flimsy.

So having a billionaire coal baron was fine as long as a "D" was attached to him, b ut as soon as he turns Trump , all the "facts" come out . This is a good example of why "making someone accountable after they are elected" is a dumb idea. Democrats: please stop throwing your working class base under the bus for money and short-term electoral gains. Please.

From TPM: The website that refused to believe in the 2012 presidential election polling data has now spawned a website that refuses to believe in the vote count .

It's like trying to figure out the Riddler... if he had the IQ of a rubber band .

I'm surprised they were able to narrow it down .

Now Fox Nation thinks Obama's building a bunker .

So the (Republican) President can order a person's testicles to be crushed, but he (as a Democrat) can't force political donors to reveal themselves ?

Of course . Next, he'll want proof that Obama campaigned for president in 2008. I mean, it was soooo long ago!

Of course he does .

I guess this answers my earlier question .

People with enough money to buy everything they want don't understand people who barely have enough money to buy everything they need .

Such is the silliness invoked when trying to adhere to one of Bill O'Reilly's logic farts , aka, "Union people should be polled in polls regarding Unions."

Wis. Senate GOP Leader's Wife Gets School Layoff Notice

Where they attack a President for being elitist until he decides not to wear a tie .

Heh. Idiots with Zoe Saldana & Kate Bosworth from Zoe Saldana

The GOP Arizonians' plan to decrease their state's population and income has worked . Well, at least they can still use the now-defunct 2010 Census information to bolster their make-up. Then again, someone's bound to notice if 29% percent of your state is migrating to other states. But hey: the point is to show the rest of the country how to take the immigration issue by the throat!

Hmmm ... WASHINGTON AP) — Unable to muster bipartisan agreement on key banking provisions, Senate Banking Committee Chairman Christopher Dodd said Thursday he will offer his own version of a sweeping overhaul of financial regulations without Republican support. A month of talks between Dodd and Republican Sen. Bob Corker had found common ground on but details on key provisions, including consumer protections and other sticking points. "Together we have made significant progress and resolved many of the items, but a few outstanding issues remain," Dodd said in a statement. Dodd said he still aimed to get a consensus bill, but said time was running out. Dodd's go-it-alone choice comes in the midst of an emerging culture of high partisanship on Capitol Hill, where Democrats and Republicans have been at odds for over a year on health care changes, little progress has been made on climate change and energy legislation, and members of both parties watch warily as an a...
