good morning, it's 18 february 2017
Feb. 18th, 2017 12:59 amArkansas held their vote on their proposed Federal constitutional amendment, and it's passed out of committee with a partisan recommendation to pass as a whole. Relatedly, le Pen's fascist movement in France has also added ending marriage equality to their platform.
Evan McMullin, who hoped to throw the election into the House of Representatives to prevent Mr. Trump's election, is begging the GOP to save the country. They aren't listening. At all. Remember: they're all in on this. Remember that, when this is over.
The rough outlines of an ACA replacement are starting to come into focus, and they're crap. McConnell says they want no Democratic votes, and they're certainly going to get it - I guess the strong form of the Hastert Rule is back in effect.
Meanwhile, Republicans in Congress are working towards prohibiting states from setting up their own low-income pensions, because why the hell would they pass up an opportunity to be evil dickbags, right?
And Republicans in Oregon are trying to get started there with voter suppression - it's a lot harder, with mail-in balloting, so they're going to try to force everyone to be deregistered and re-registered in two years. It's a citizen initiative. Oregonians might want to do something about that.
