Trump's HHS nominee drug CEO Alex Azar checks some boxes:
Super rich: check
Representing an industry that exploits the poor, elderly, and sick: check
Big donor industry for the GOP: check
Industry that worked against the Affordable Care Act: check
No experience in governance: check
Avowed enemy of the department he will head: check
The only box not checked is Russian influence, but I expect that will come to light eventually.
“He will be a star for better healthcare and lower drug prices!” Trump tweeted. Fox, meet henhouse.
Old ones.
He's back on the throne tweeting during his early morning bowel movement. Poor Grandpa can't even keep from mixing up his mass murders. Jetlag is a be-ach. The FBI and law enforcement has arrived long ago in Sutherland Springs, Mr. President. Yesterday's mass murder was in California. #thoughtsandprayers
I’m not sure which is is scarier, Michael, grampyytrumpydunghead or the 30.4k people (Russians?) who that?
@realdonaltrump. Many didn’t know 10 days ago in Sutherland Springs, Arkansas. Backhoe operators and Funeral directors on site. #thoughtsandprayers #foolish #immaga

30.4K !??!
Send in Frederick Douglass! . . .

I'm surprised we haven't seen a tweet on this yet.
Muddy Anus, begin your Muslim-bashing.
It looks like we had a hostage situation in the Philippines over the weekend that went unreported by #FakeNews
In case you missed it, there was a not-coup in Zimbabwe overnight. Why isit not a coup? Not really sure. But Mugabe is "safe and secure" under arrest, his wife is apparently out of the country, and at least one cabinet minister has been arrested. Ousted VP Mnangagwa will be interim President "to preserve the democracy". Considering Mugabe's long history of abuse of that system, the systemic corruption, and the attempt to install his much younger wife as successor, who knows…
The news of the army coup is on the BBC home page. BBC calls it a coup.
Oops. Somebody spilled the beans. Fluffnutz, we need a janitor on aisle 3. Stat.
Smith debunks his network’s favorite Hillary Clinton ‘scandal,’ infuriates viewers
But, But, But… What about the flow chart? Louie Gomert (the country’s dumbest congressman) has proved (er, something) beyond a doubt with a flow chart:
Vox: Behold the wonders of Rep. Louie Gomert’s conspiracy chart:
Don't mean to be "picky," but his name is spelled Gohmert. He's not the dumbest congressman; he is tied with fellow Texan Joe Barton.
Barton infamously blamed Obama for old style incandescent light bulbs being phased out. But it was G.W. Bush who actually signed the legislation.
Barton and Gohmert. Weren’t they singing background for Senator err, I mean Kid Rock? No? Maybe fluffers for Ted Nugent?
I see Gohmert and instantly think of Gomer Pyle….
I think it proves he read MAD Magazine once, though he probably didn't get that it was satire.
Carefully fold “a >” to “< b” . . .
You gotta’ know by now, if our lying President and his RWNJ cronies are accusing anyone of anything illegal . . .
. . . like selling uranium to Russia and pocketing the proceeds . . .
. . . then Donnie TwoScoops and his son, MiniNutlid, have probably been doing exactly that themselves.

FOX News: Reporting for some of the people, all of the time.
Maybe if folks recast the issue of ocean rise in Biblical terms of Noah then maybe our reluctant Evangelicals could be persuaded that old problems are really new problems.
Are you kidding? Those who didn't survive the Great Flood were irredeemable sinners. As God's Chosen, this bunch figures they'll all come through okay – or be taken up in to Heaven so that they can fight on the side of Righteousness in the Apocalypse. They're all looking forward to that day anyway.
Nope. Spend more time with the Bible. You’re forgetting rainbows — god’s seal that he’ll never destroy the earth again with flooding . . .
. . . rising ocean levels? Just another god-denying, phony-science liberal lie.
The tax plan will take care of those stuck-up sciency types. Tuition reimbursement for grad students, those rich idlers living off a fat stipend of $20k/yr, will now be counted as ordinary income.
God gave Noah the rainbow sign. No more water, the fire next time!
What is past is prologue…..

And Johnson's decision is on the merits (or lack thereof) of the tax bill itself. He is not opposing it because they are cross pollinating the tax bill with the repeal of O-care.
