I hope they do repeal of the ACA, this would be the boon that single payer needs to get real traction in 2018 and 2020.

What's really frustrating is how "The Maverick" has just become a shill...I used to have respect for McCain, but he's as bad as all the others. In some ways worse: he's not an ideologue but he's going right along with them.

He's what? 78? Vote your damn conscience and to hell with how it affects your re-election odds

Trump probably left the G20 table to get back to watching cable news at the hotel. Need that Fox and Friends ego boost.

Anyone remember that caveman lawyer skit on SNL from years ago? This is what it sounds like.

The thing Is they aren't against any of Trumps domestic policy they just don't want Trump embarrassing them with his foreign policy.

Is there a vote that any of them have made that in vacuum Rubio or McCain should vote against

President Trump’s eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., was promised damaging information about Hillary Clinton before agreeing to meet with a Kremlin-connected Russian lawyer during the 2016 campaign, according to three advisers to the White House briefed on the meeting and two others with knowledge of it.

The meeting was also attended by his campaign chairman at the time, Paul J. Manafort, and his son-in-law, Jared Kushner. Mr. Manafort and Mr. Kushner only recently disclosed the meeting, though not its content, in confidential government documents described to The New York Times.

The Times reported the existence of the meeting on Saturday. But in subsequent interviews, the advisers and others revealed the motivation behind it.

The meeting — at Trump Tower on June 9, 2016, two weeks after Donald J. Trump clinched the Republican nomination — points to the central question in federal investigations of the Kremlin’s meddling in the presidential election: whether the Trump campaign colluded with the Russians. The accounts of the meeting represent the first public indication that at least some in the campaign were willing to accept Russian help.

If this is followed up with more evidence then this can get really ugly.

Trump's outside lawyers saying that the meeting was a Democratic setup.

Team Trump initially downplayed a meeting with one of Russia’s top lawyers as a courtesy on behalf of orphaned children—and then pinned the meetup on a nefarious Democratic plot.

Trump Jr's Statement:

Spoiler!


So he openly admits to meeting with a Russian to get dirt on the Clinton campaign.

It's a shame nothing matters anymore, in a previous life that could have been politically damaging.

Trump in the USA
Notley in Alberta
Nenshi in Calgary
Trudeau in Canada

Rank how you feel about these folks:

Mine:

Trump (despise)
Notley (dangerous, mostly incompetent but likeable, get her out asap)
Trudeau (neutral, slightly negative, could be worse)
Nenshi (neutral, slightly positive, starting to overstay his welcome)

Trump Jr, Kushner and Manafort were part of the campaign. couldn't this be treason?

Would be hilarious seeing Trump visit his kid in Sing Sing

I find it interesting that you chose to describe Notley as dangerous yet decided against labelling trump as such.

1) Trudeau (An idiot that couldn't run a carwash)
2) Trump (Comedy act that could be dangerous worldwide)
3) Nenshi (had enough of him and his wasteful spending)
4) Notley (could care less, they're all the same anyway, Klein was the last P with balls and Notley can't even pretend to have any)

I despise him in part because he is, I just didn't use so many words to describe him.
