    Bill Mahar jumped the shark a few years ago, IMO.

    Stay calm. Don't panic. Bad for your health. Early days.

    Pressured by Prez and 7 years of anti ACA rhetoric, house passed a bill that replaces ACA. High fives and celebrations in the House. Mission accomplished! But wait. A few pesky steps to go before it becomes law. First the damn Senate will drop kick it back to house for bunch of changes. House will mill about smartly to change and have another circus act to get the vote.

    Few months a bill will go to Trump for signing into law. Given Trump's propensity to flip flop he may veto when faced with displeasure from majority of electorate. Especially his base who will be most effected. So maybe back for another round to get a bill Congress and Prez willing to sign into law.

    Mission accomplished. The evil known as Obama Care has been replaced! But wait. No doubt some "libtard" will file a suit with the 9th district court questioning the constitutionality of the law. Predictably the 9th will declare parts unconstitutional. Oops.

    Republitard supporters will challenge 9th district ruling through Supreme Court. Unless a new conservative justice has been appointed the 9th district ruling will be upheld by 5 to 4 vote.

    Trump care is dead. Back to Congress to fix.

    No one knew this was so complicated did they Donald?

    I think you're right in all of that.
    Except the last bit. Which I know was sarcasm.

    Does the POTUS have "know how to play golf" in his job description?

    Or the US people (and/or corporations) would not vote for him in case he would not know how to play?

    ^ No to the first question. I think the only real requirement is that a Presidential candidate has to prostrate themselves before AIPAC.

    Nikki Haley tells AIPAC: 'There is a new sheriff in town' at the UN

    Nikki Haley received a hero's welcome at the American Israel Public Affairs Committee on Monday as she reminded the pro-Israel lobbying group of her early successes as U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, and promised to continue with a sharp break from the Obama administration.

    "For anyone who says you can't get anything done at the U.N., they need to know there is a new sheriff in town," Haley said during an appearance at AIPAC's annual conference in Washington, D.C.

    Author claims Eric Trump told him all funding for Trump golf courses comes from Russia in 2014
    Sunday, May 07, 2017

    Golf writer James Dodson claims Eric Trump told him in 2014 that all the funding for Trump golf courses comes from Russia while the two were at one of the family's clubs.

    "As we were setting off, I said, 'Eric, who's funding? I know no banks — because of the recession, the Great Recession — have touched a golf course. You know, no one's funding any kind of golf construction. It's dead in the water the last four or five years,'" Dodson told Boston public radio station WBUR-FM about golfing with the president's son at Trump National Golf Club in Charlotte, N.C.

    If these people think its okay to return to the way things were, where people with cancer just crawl into bed and die, well I think that is pretty disgusting and I can't see how anyone in good conscious could support this bill at this point.

    Too bad, the bill they failed to pass was actually much better than this atrocious nonsense
    And when you consider that a woman with a rape in her past or domestic violence history is considered by some insurance companies as having a "pre-existing condition", it makes it all the more callous and despicable.

    Link please.

    a few Christians with the remnants of a conscience may want to give it a little side eye before digging up misogynist quotes from the bible to shore up their religious sentiments...

    Yes, he is.

    But let me clarify some things to better explain:

    "Jump the Shark" means a person or show has run out of ideas.

    Mahar has Jumped the Shark.


    He is smart but chooses to "entertain" why regurgitating a news story in the news yesterday and puts pithy or comedic spin on it. Not very reative.

    Colbert is a much dumber verson of Mahar.


    Here is Bill Mahar on May 5, 2017 (2 days ago).

    He's still joking about the election results. Talking about Trump and Hillary.

    A little old, eh?

    No it doesn't. It means to do something absurd in order to regain interest in something, you know, like Trump suggesting Obama wiretapped him.

    While I don't care that much for Mahar's attitude, it's hard to run out of ideas with Trump saying or doing something outlandish every day.

    Could you explain your opinion on their reativity?
    "I was a good student. I comprehend very well, OK, better than I think almost anybody," - President Trump comparing his legal knowledge to a Federal judge.
