Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell scraps vote on Graham-Cassidy healthcare reform bill.
They don't realize it, but Paul and McCain did the GOP a favor.
Hello.
The GOP is sooo lame.
Its like the GOP needs some charismatic party leader to make deals.
Hey, look it's my favorite idiot whipping boy!!
So again, why would anyone believe you when you say you kept your doctor after you lied about pay your bet?
"It's a UNIVERSAL QUALIFIER!!!"
Idiots think I'm Tony & Mary
Boo-hoo. Maybe if you didn't behave like them. Actually, that's unfair to Tony.
Cry more.
Wait wait, you think...you actually think I care that they think that?
AHHAHAHAHAHHAAHHAHAHAHAHAH. NO YOU STUPID FUCKING EQUOVCATING MORON, I'M MAKING FUN OF YOU!!
HOW FUCKING STUPID ARE YOU?
TO BE FAIR...VERY!!!
AHAHHAHAAHAHAHAABAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
WHAT A FUCKING MOOK!!!
AHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHHAAHHAHAHA
AhHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHAHHAAHAH
THE FUCKING IDIOT ACTUALLY THOUGHT I CARED!!!
AHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH
You are a juvenile.
13-14 years old, tops.
And still running rings around you.
Sad!
Hey, look it's my favorite idiot whipping boy!!
So again, why would anyone believe you when you say you kept your doctor after you lied about paying your bet?
"It's a UNIVERSAL QUALIFIER!!!"
You care enough to make two responses to me. If only you could capitalize all caps, then maybe you'd get your point across.
Seriously, do you actually think you are anything more than a joke to anyone? That anyone is crying because of your comments? I'm genuinely curious about what is behind this bizarre persona.
"You care enough to make two responses to me"
ABOUT YOU!!
NOT TO YOU!!
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHH HOW FUCKING STUPID ARE YOU!!!
CRY MORE NOW!!!
By the way why do idiots always assume that someone cares when they're posting rather than they're just looking for entertainment that's the stupidest fucking attempt at a comeback I've ever seen and yet stupid asshole like them constantly presume that it makes sense because of how fucking stupid they are .
And then Zeb cried!!
Ahahahahahahahahahahahah
You are just precious. I hope you and Shriek can find a nice place to hole up in for a while.
See? That's the shit people say when they're actually upset.
Makes it hard to find my comments if I want to get back to a conversation. This person should stop doing that and day drinking.
Hi BYODB!!!
"do you actually think you are anything more than a joke to anyone?"
OF COURSE NIT YOU OBLIVIOUS FUCKING IGNORAMUS!!!
I'VE BEEN SAYONG I'M TROLLING FROM THE START!!!
GOD DAMN ARE YOU ACTUALLY RETARDED!!!!
NOW IT MAKES SENSE WHY ALL YOUR POSTS ARE STUPID FUCKING EQUIVOCATION AND. BITCHINESS, YOU REALLY ARE NOT SMART ENOUGG FOR ANYTHING ELSE!!!
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHA. THE FUCKING RETARD THOUGHT CALLING ME A JOKE WOULD SCORE!!
AHAHAHAHHAHAAHHAHHAHA. WHAT A FUCKING IDIOT!!!!
OK, so you don't actually believe that anyone is crying. You're just amused by your own bluster. All the best to you, then, I guess.
No, I'm pretty sure you're actually upset.
But yes to the rest.
They need t vote straight repeal. Period. Keeping Obamacare is communism.
Appliance-maker Dyson says it will start making electric cars by 2020.
And spheres by 2080!
They'll always suck.
Why not car spheres? Like a hamster ball. It doesn't get any more environmentally friendly than that.
And people will wonder why the Dyson cars cost $450,000 and don't work as well as a regular car.
Saudi Arabia will allow women to drive for the first time.
The Saudi auto insurance industry gasps.
Sen. Bob Corker (R ? Tenn.) will not run for reelection.
HE'S PUTTING A CORK IN IT.
I almost typed a cork-based joke, but i obviously don't love corks as much as you do.
I think any day with y'all is a real corker.
He's not putting a cork in anything, he will be pulling one out, as part of his farewell celebration.
Oh well, Life Goes On.
Appliance-maker Dyson says it will start making electric cars by 2020.
Well it certainly will suck.
They will be the palin's buttplug's of automobiles.
You mean you won't have to make your car payments?
Zing! -- But you'll say you did.
Saudi Arabia will allow women to drive for the first time.
Accident rates set to skyrocket.
Alternate comment: they're just gonna go to the mall.
They all flee to Israel.
Probably go shopping at Wahabi Lobby.
Why I Admire Anthony Weiner
Counterpoint: Anthony Weiner and Huma Abedin have lied again, again and again
Why I Admire Anthony Weiner
Is he putting a cork in it?
Bringing up his disease constantly does, in fact, come off as placing blame on it.
Phrasing?
For reals: how long until he's caught sexting from jail with a contraband phone?
He will have internet access, so I give it two weeks.
Trump confidant Roger Stone answered questions on his links to Russia at a closed door hearing of the House Intelligence Committee.
Christian Britschgi needs to answer questions about his Links in an open door hearing at Reason Magazine.
Saudi Arabia will allow women to drive for the first time.
Of course, those would be European tourists.
'Avatar' Starts Production Today On Four Consecutive Sequels At Over $1 Billion Budget
Raising the budget bar.
It'd be great if his wife is working on sequels of 'The Hurt Locker'.
She peaked with Point Break.
Yeah, so? All Western Culture peaked with Point Break. I still look forward to things.
That movie was shit.
"It's a gritty, realistic look at the war in Iraq!" raved nobody who has ever been to Iraq.
Oh Jesus. I can just imagine the insufferable SJW virtue signalling in those scripts.
I hope they eventually all die.
All their future deaths are on you now.
Hoe is Rufus' happiness like unobtainium?
As a normal human being, that is also all I care about.
I wonder how it will do. I feel like they let it sit so long that most people had enough time to recognize the films kind of sucked.
"Unobtainium", indeed!
Movie sucked. Movie epitomized the progressive mindset. People crying to their shrinks that the movie wasn't real. Gagh. I hope these movies tank and tank big.
So what Kevin Costner movies will he rip off his plotlines from this time, one might wonder.
Good Lord. What a waste of money.
Leonardo DiCaprio & Martin Scorsese Ride Again On Teddy Roosevelt Pic At Paramount
Bully for him. Teddy was a fascinating person, so it could be interesting!
He was a major piece of shit, but fascinating, I guess.
Sure, he intentionally laid the groundwork for pretty much all of the horrific expansions of government size and power that have happened since, but he also cured himself of asthma by sheer force of will, and that's pretty neat.
Thank you.
He also personally slayed so much megafauna that we still commemorate the one time he didn't.
Awwww. This is what Trump needs to do. Associate himself with something cute and cuddly.
I thought it was because he filtered all of his air through that bramble of a lip-weave.
He also pretty much single-handedly started the Spanish-American War because he thought a war would be neat and fun and good for the national character.
Haha, classic progressivism.
San Juan Hill fuck yeah! Shaking that big stick to the world!
Can you tell us again Teddy's opinions on law, Crusty?
Don't forget the Great White Fleet. USA patrolling the world.
Exactly the kind of huge asshole that flourishes in politics.
You know who else was a fascinating piece of shit?
DiCaprio should play Col. Sanders next.
I prefer Norm MacDonald as Col. Sanders.
Are YOU guilty of 'hepeating'? Woman coins clever term for moments when a female's opinions are ignored - only for a man to repeat the idea in the same setting and earn praise for his genius
What do they call it when a women spends 60 years shitting on every idea a man has, until he welcomes the warm embrace of death as a means of escape?
Nevermind, that's 'marriage'. Brain fart.
That's an introvert/extrovert thing, not female/male
Why do people always imagine that these are things that only men do?
Or is it just bad when men do it? Mansplaining, manterrupting and now hepeating. Those are all things I see men to to other men all the time and women do to men plenty.
Originally, it was probably innocent enough. Just women venting about men, a natural thing people do. Then it made the jump into some institutional dogma that this is a part of systemic oppression.
Exactly. I have worked at places where men have bent over backwards to make damn sure they listened to the woman, including considering ideas that were first brought up by men and shot down.
I have this great idea for a new term: it's called "hepeating." It's when a woman suggests an idea and it's ignored, but then a guy says the same thing and everyone loves it.
What do you think?
Very clever!
Brilliant!
Mansplaining...
Hey, look it's my favorite idiot whipping boy!!
So again, why would anyone believe you when you say you kept your doctor after you lied about pay your bet?
"It's a UNIVERSAL QUALIFIER!!!"
All you have to do is get your nerve together, make sure you know exactly what you're gonna say, and just...
Ask him out already!
Seriously you two need a fucking love hotel capsule where you can just "work it out."
Bobby Clown, Slayer of Trolls.
I like how you stopped nuthugging DD after I took a piece out of you.
Does this explain the squirrels?
Squirrels?
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=MziwbQv9zQ0
Don't fuck with squirrels!
I don't really think it's very clever of a word honestly.
Oh, don't be so sour.
If someone interesting, like a woman, had invented it sure. But coming from Crusty I can only feel disappointment.
It made me think of herpetology, rather than...whatever she meant by it. Weird connection though...
I don't know. Do you have a penis?
Crusty, I thought "hepeating" was when you go down on Pamela Anderson. Or Ken Watanabe. Or Lou Reed.
I think we should turn it into a movie starring some actress and Bradley Cooper

Trump Lacking 'Stability,' 'Competence' To Succeed Corker.
http://www.npr.org/2017/08/17/.....to-succeed
Corker was going to get Roy Moored by some far right nutcase for telling the truth.
Hey, look it's my favorite idiot whipping boy!!
So again, why would anyone believe you when you say you kept your doctor after you lied about paying your bet?
"It's a UNIVERSAL QUALIFIER!!!"
Fuck off PB. You should be executed, just like every other traitor progtard. Go drink some fucking Drano.
Hannity Beats Maddow in Ratings on First Night at 9 P.M.

Automatic channel changers for me.
Florida mother, 58, who was 'having sex with her daughter's husband, 33,' is arrested 'for throwing eggs at his house and trying to run him over in her Mercedes after revealing the affair'
Fun fact: the crazy keeps 'em looking good.
Do you think she did anal?
"I love my mother-in-law. Really!"
Hot new anime of the season, "I Want To Love My Wife, But My Crazy Step-Mother Wants Something Else..."
How good do you think she looks, Crusty? Enough to sample the crazy's hospitality?
Crusty doesn't care about looks at all. She has holes, and that's good enough for our patron saint.
Ouch. Ouch is an appropriate word because I think he rather fancies himself as a man with taste beneath the veneer of bawdiness.
He's a saint because he sees past his own preferences and GIVES. He gives and gives and gives.
So, I'm guessing we've finally located Florida Man's significant other?
No, his mother. Florida Mom.
"You tell me which of those children's mothers are a son-of-a-B. That is racism."
Sexism, maybe.
I feel like it's almost a vaudeville joke to interpret "Son-of-a-Bitch" as an insult on the person's mother.
The company I used to work for was run by a Sikh, and our superintended was also a Sikh, both raised 100% in India.
One day the inspector called them sons of bitches. They took it very personally, and wouldn't speak to him for like three weeks.
That's also a vaudeville joke, with foreigners taking idioms super literally.
I guess what I'm saying is I like vaudeville style humor.
OO! OO! STEVE SMITH LIKE TO JOKE.
STRANGER SHOUT AND BANG ON STEVE SMITH DOOR ALL NIGHT LONG. WHEN STEVE SMITH FINISH, STEVE SMITH LET STRANGER GO.
STEVE SMITH HERE ALL WEEK. HIDE.
Yeah, like "motherf****er". Not to be taken literally and if it was, so what? Is that a bad thing (I mean, in the grand scheme of things)?
'IT'S TRUE'WWE icon and wrestling legend Ric Flair reveals he has had sex with 10,000 women? and counting

And at least 4-5 of them weren't ugly skanks who fuck old hotdog-skinned fat dudes with speech impediments..
Sex, Drugs and Infractions: Inside Susan Smith's Life In Prison For Drowning Her Two Sons
And she has been taking hot pills.
Hot pills? Is that why her face looks like it's been burned?
First, her original mousey look is more attractive.
Second, why shouldn't she just go crazy and fuck and do drugs? She has a life sentence, what else are they gonna do to her?
First, her original mousey look is more attractive.
No way. She was pudgy AND mousy.
But, you would tap that today.
Hey, look it's my favorite idiot whipping boy!!
So again, why would anyone believe you when you say you kept your doctor after you lied about paying your bet?
"It's a UNIVERSAL QUALIFIER!!!"
Both great things.
"And she has been taking hot pills"
no shit prison agrees with her, who woulda thunk it

WHO KNEW HEALTH CARE WOULD BE SO DIFFICULT?
Hey, look it's my favorite idiot whipping boy!!
So again, why would anyone believe you when you say you kept your doctor after you lied about pay your bet?
"It's a UNIVERSAL QUALIFIER!!!"
I don't get it.
Some juvenile just discovered posting.
And realized that you lied about paying your bet, so last night when you claimed you keot your doctor, was forced to conclude you were lying about that too.
As to the UNIVSERSAL QUALIFIER part, shreek tried to pretend he knew about a subject and made a fool of himself.
Like I said you two need to go the the Motel 6, lock the door and get to it!
Tom Bodette said he would keep the light on....with pleasure.
The upside of a civil war is that we would get to hunt vermin like PB and Tony with impunity.
Shreek lied about paying a bet, lied about keeping his doctor, and tried to pretend he knew something ablut language, but shit the bed instead.
Now you're caught up.
Are 13 years old? 13 year old like to play the contradiction game.
NO HE DIDN'T! YES HE DID!
Grow up, you juvenile. And quit shitting the board.
Hey, look it's my favorite idiot whipping boy!!
So again, why would anyone believe you when you say you kept your doctor after you lied about pay your bet?
"It's a UNIVERSAL QUALIFIER!!!"
There's no contradiction. You lied. That's all.
Why are you so fucking stupid? You constantly use words you don't understand and make a fool of yourself.
Fuck, you proved last night you don't know what "hypothetical" means, no one has to believe me, they can check for themselves.
"And quit shitting the board."
I'll leave forever if you do.
Say the word guy.
I'll leave forever if you do.
I'm not leaving the board to you Trump-tards. I've been here over 10 years so you can keep on shitting the board up.
"I'm not leaving the board"
Then shut the fuck up and take your medicine bitch.
You chose to lie. Don't cry about the consequences now.
Fuck you, liar. I've had the same health insurance for many years.
Keep shitting the board. You will make it unreadable for others.
Why don't you acknowledge that you would tap Susan Smith, the infanticidal temptress?
Why don't you acknowledge that you would tap Susan Smith, the infanticidal temptress?
I wouldn't go near a prison for it.
I agree with you that she is more attractive now.

So you want them on the same level as you?
Ahahahahahahahahahahahaj
YOU HAVE SHITTY READING COMPREHENSION AND YOU PROVED IT!!!
AHAHHAHAAHHA YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT HYPOTHETICAL MEANS, AND YOU PROVED IT!!!
AHAHAHAHAHAHAH
They can run you off, and harangue you every time they see you, until you never post again, or, they can deal it.
PB you're a cheat and liar. Plus you're a progressive. And everyone knows progressives have no values. Why should anyone believe a fucking thing you say?
There's a fight between these two. The one guy goes by Reality as well. Started in full at some point in the last couple of days I think.
"Reality" has a Mary and Tony complex now.

"Sen. Bob Corker (R ? Tenn.) will not run for reelection."
As James Taranto would put it - bottom story of the day.
I think he's the only one in the 2018 crop that isn't running again though, which is itself rather newsworthy. When exactly is this swamp draining going to happen?
Corker actually has some sense. The Senate will just get more polarized.
Hey, look it's my favorite idiot whipping boy!!
So again, why would anyone believe you when you say you kept your doctor after you lied about paying your bet?
"It's a UNIVERSAL QUALIFIER!!!"
I thought Obama dissolved the Senate.
Or was that only in practice?
No no, you're thinking of Palpatine.
Easy mistake to make, if you've never seen their pictures.
Honestly though, I'm pretty sure Obama would have a purple lightsaber.
Ben Sasse ? @BenSasse
btw, Trump wants you to kneel--because it divides the nation, with him and the flag on the same side. Don't give him the attention he wants.
Another sensible GOPer.
