@Corner Stone: we were supposed to elect Hillary, who would roll up her sleeves and get to fixing it quietly, without going totally public about it and destroying our faith in our own system.
At least, that was the plan. Just enough people in the right places did not vote for Hillary.
@Butthurt Jordan Trombone (fka XTPD): there are so manu others I would want in the woodchipper first I am not even sure Anthony Wiener would Crack the top 100.

@Gin & Tonic: @Omnes Omnibus: No. They will pass new reconciliation instructions with the 2018 budget. While the budget itself is non binding, the reconciliation rules will allow them to stipulate which potential subjects of legislation they can consider under the 51 vote threshold of reconciliation, provided the legislation passes the Byrd Rule. The expectation has been that they will write the 2018 budget agreement so that tax reform is considered under reconciliation. In the wake of yesterday’s defeat for Graham-Cassidy there is some speculation that they will also include ACA repeal and replace under reconciliation as well. This would be done by connecting the tax components of the ACA to the tax reform concept in writing the reconciliation rules for 2018. If so, then the 1 OCT deadline is meaningless in regard to the ACA.
@Mai.naem.mobile: I know that, and would add the CNN & FTFNYT staffs in said list.
@John Revolta: Maybe, but he provided the immediate trigger for the Letter. While trying to fuck someone underage. So fuckem he isn’t getting any absolution from me.

The doctor put me on mirtazapine and I’m going to see him again in two weeks. I also made an appointment to see the psychologist that works out of that clinic for next Friday. We’ll see how that goes. I usually do better with a woman therapist. I know that plays into all of the stereotypes that women are supposed to be nurturers and listen to all of our problems, but it’s also true. And someone would be paying her, which makes a big difference.

@Omnes Omnibus: At this point it’s speculation. No one is really sure, included the unnamed GOP Congressional aides, if 1) they’re try it or 2) if trying to claim it is part of tax reform would actually pass muster with the Parliamentarian in the Senate. However, they were clear that since a lot of what would be done, especially if it is to resurrect Graham-Cassidy, would be through the same committee that handles tax reform in the Senate that making the linkage could be done.
@Omnes Omnibus: Thanks. I have a mild phobia of phones, so talking over them probably wouldn’t help. I’ll be in Madison in February, and would love to get a beer then.

Adam L Silverman
@Omnes Omnibus:
1) Their paymasters/donors want them to.
2) They don’t actually believe in government.
3) What few governmental type things they do believe have nothing to do with actually helping people.
Remember the one thing the Confederate constitution did not borrow from the US Constitution was the phrase “promote the general welfare” or a promotion of the general welfare clause. The ideologues and political thinkers, for lack of better terms, behind the Confederacy didn’t believe there was a general welfare. And they certainly didn’t believe the government should do anything to promote the general welfare. These folks and their wealthy patrons are the ideological and political descendants of these ideas from the Confederacy, and several equally noxious ones from other places. At best they want a night watchman type of state that is also run to benefit themselves and their patrons/donors. That’s it.
Is that an anti inflammatory? My lab was really tall and weighed about 85 lbs. When his back went out he couldn’t walk and I was really afraid for him. I think it took about a week but he recovered fully. I’m really hoping the meds work and she is back to her usual tricks.

Adam L Silverman
@Omnes Omnibus: @Tissue Thin Pseudonym: Shoot me an email if you all need me to facilitate the connection. Should look something like this:
How can there be reconciliation instructions for both tax reform and mandatory savings?
While the final reconciliation package will be one bill, tax reform and mandatory savings will be different exercises. [blink]Tax reform will be deficit neutral on its own.[/blink] Mandatory reforms will produce at least $203 billion in savings for deficit reduction, not to pay for tax reform or any other spending priorities.
Similarly, I hear that Nambia is a worker’s paradise, a business paradise, a hunter’s paradise, gas is $0.15/gallon, they have the world’s best schools, and the iPhoneX has been available since July.

It happened with my cocker spaniel when she was 2. Unfortunately, the drugs didn’t work, but the surgery did. It was a long 8 weeks of crate-bound recovery, but she lived to be 16 and never had another back problem.
