Idiocracy

It might be technically accurate (by default): most countries don't need a new health care plan, so they've got the monopoly on 2017.

I'd disagree. If they called it the World's Greatest New Healthcare Plan, they might be technically correct. However, the way they've phrase it, it would still compete against all plans in existence in 2017 - in which case, it would be pretty near the bottom of the pile for developed nations.

That logic checks out.

My favourite part has been that hard-right GOP groups have also denounced this bill for being still too similar to Obamacare.
 
Wow. The plan is abjectly horrific.

It's a plan that is designed to fail, has a literal barrier on low SES accessing care.  Good job "Christians".
 
Rachel Maddow supposedly has 2005 Tax Returns on Trump.  Could be an interesting evening.
 
More interesting than the leaf game. I was checking Twitter before switching over. I can't believe so many in the states are calling this fake news blah blah liberal media. What a bunch of thoughtless parrots.

I hate that fake news has basically become the Trump camp's shorthand for "facts that disprove my position or viewpoints that differ from what I consider to the the only acceptable ones." I mean, it makes them sound dumb, which I'm okay with, but it's minimizing a real issue (which obviously their goal - and a favourite tactic of fascists), and that's not alright.

Well, not "fake news," really. But, if you want to know anything meaningful about someone's finances, the first pages of a 1040 are non-news, as anyone who's done -- or even looked at -- their own taxes ought to know. But Maddow ran with it, hyped it, got her ratings, gifted Trump something he can spin as vindication, and pushed the health care news off the front page. She's a grifter. 
 
But dont you know? Even though this is from a news outlet outside of the US with no inherent bias on who we want as president.... FAKE NEWS!
 
Donald "We?re going to win so much, you?re going to be so sick and tired of winning" Trump's healthcare reform bill was such a guaranteed loss that it didn't even make it to the floor for a vote.

I think this was a simple reporting error, like when people couldn't figure out if Trump was actually saying "bigly" or "big league" (not that either of them make any sense). In this case what Trump was probably ACTUALLY saying was "whining".
 
The other scary thing is what garbage Nunez is pulling with the House Intelligence Committee.  He's outright railroading investigation into Trump:Russia ties.

North Korea is looking for trouble. If China decides to help, that would be great. If not, we will solve the problem without them!  U.S.A.

He got a taste of what it's like to be able to pull the trigger. Clearly, he liked it. The Earth had a nice run. It was fun sharing it with most of you.

They're trying to force China to do something about Kim Jong-un...he should scare you too.  All the years of diplomacy and economic sanctions haven't done the job, and this guy is about to have a nuclear weapon.

They've got to change the strategy here, fast.

Admittedly I'm not going to pretend like I know what the solution to this problem is, but I'd rather not see the leader of the free world starting a twitter beef over it.

North Korea isn't "about to" have nuclear weapons. They've had them for years.

They haven't had reliable mobile long-range ones.
