Trump's at it again this morning, attacking McConnell about health care, while retweeting both Fox & Friends and some unscientific Twitter poll saying Trump is a better president than Obama.
It's almost jaw-dropping how self-destructive Trump is. It boggles my mind that he ever managed to get dressed in the morning, much less become President.
At any rate, I'm all for him continuing his war with the GOP. It's the last impeachment puzzle piece that needs to fall into place after he burned his bridges with both the intelligence community and the media.

Oy.
We make fun of kids these days for their participation medals and parents over praising them but damn Trump is really needy.
Yes, yes you are better than Obama. Yes, there were millions at your inauguration. Yes, you beat Hillary in the electoral college. No you can't nuke that country but you can invite Mitch McConnell over for dinner and take his ice cream.

While I'm sure much can be influenced by the wording of the questions and while I know this is only one poll, this is still slightly unsettling:
According to a poll published by The Washington Post, 52 percent of Republicans said they would back a postponement of the next election if Trump called for it.

From what I can tell the poll was designed to get a result like this - there are claims of millions of people having voted illegally, if so should the election be postponed to verify eligibility, etc.
I agree that it's slightly unsettling, but you can design a poll to get almost any result you want, so I don't think this is all that meaningful at the end of the day.

At least we have some evidence* that the GOP base is only about 50% nativist racists.

Why do Republicans hate democracy?

Because libertarians have been repeating a mantra that democracy is the tyranny of the majority for over thirty years and libertarians and republicans have co-opted each other.
They will then use their hatred of democracy to pretend they have some sort of semantic pedantic superiority by claiming the US is not a democracy and was never meant to be one, like socialism and communism are meant to be, putting up deflector shields against any possibility of understanding a republic is a form of democracy.
Holy shit he's fucking crazy. The worst part is that this is going to get them to try again as soon as they get back. Eventually *something* is going to get through. We just have to hope it's less worse than what they have already tried. Who am I kidding? It will be much worse.
Capitalism tries for a delicate balance: It attempts to work things out so that everyone gets just enough stuff to keep them from getting violent and trying to take other people’s stuff.
Also does he realize that Obama was actually involved in creating ACA? He wasn't standing around shouting from the sidelines like a geriatric cheerleader.

Silly question. What does that mean, exactly? I'm not even blaming Trump on this. What does it mean to "the presidential opioid commission" for the President to officially declare a national opioid emergency that they pushed him for?

If you declare a national emergency, you have to disburse funds from special accounts that are kept "for emergencies only".
Keep in mind this is the same Trump that was (and still is) hell-bent on pushing through a healthcare bill that would have devastated state funds to battle the opioid crisis.
It is more of an example of how incoherent his administration is. Tom Price is his face of this and said...not a national emergency...yet. Probably because they aren't ready for that declaration yet. Then the boss wanders out days later and just blurts out randomly that it is a national emergency. It is an indicator about how irresponsible the man is. Big problems need careful solutions.
“I want to thank him because we're trying to cut down our payroll, and as far as I'm concerned I'm very thankful that he let go a large number of people because now we have a smaller payroll,” Trump said. “There's no real reason for them to go back. I greatly appreciate the fact that we've been able to cut our payroll of the United States. We're going to save a lot of money.”

This is what it looks like when you win big and negotiate great deals, right?

The deal President Trump called “incredible” and Gov. Scott Walker hailed as a “once-in-a-century” opportunity to bring the electronic manufacturing giant Foxconn to Wisconsin wouldn’t generate profits for the state until 2042, a new legislative analysis projects.
The state’s Legislative Fiscal Bureau, a nonpartisan agency that analyzes proposed economic investments, looked at Walker’s bid last month to bring a new flat-screen-display factory to the state in exchange for a roughly $3 billion-incentives package.
Foxconn said it would break ground in southeastern Wisconsin and hire 3,000 workers there over the next four years, with the “potential” to create 13,000 jobs.
If the company hits that growth target, Wisconsin would break even after 25 years, said Rob Reinhardt, a program manager who worked on the report. If 13,000 jobs never materialize, it could take decades longer.
So much winning...

He does realize that Putin can't actually fire US State Department employees, right?
Or maybe he can. Hell, at this point it wouldn't surprise me.

That must be one hell of a pee tape the Russians have.
