Welcome to the Good News roundup. Where we are more worried about protecting real people being detained, and not aliens in area 51 (Seriously, what is wrong with people?)
Lets get on with it.
Republicans have no real plan to establish a new health care system if the courts strike down the Affordable Care Act before the 2020 election. But plenty of them are rooting for its demise anyway — even if it means plunging the GOP into a debate that splits the party and leaves them politically vulnerable.
Yep, we’re doing this again. Apparently the GOP is a glutton for punishment over Healthcare. Hilarious thing is even if they win this fight, they are probably gonna lose the Senate over it, much like they lost the house in 2018.
Oh, and speaking of house losers.
President Donald Trump lambasted Paul Ryan on Thursday night, ripping the ex-House speaker as a “running lame duck failure” with “poor leadership.”
“Paul Ryan, the failed V.P. candidate & former Speaker of the House, whose record of achievement was atrocious (except during my first two years as President), ultimately became a long running lame duck failure, leaving his Party in the lurch both as a fundraiser & leader,” Trump wrote in a late-night tweetstorm.
Ah yes, the sad fate of Paul Ryan, the man who famously threw a kegger after the vote to repeal the ACA cleared the house, so very jazzed over the prospect of killing poor people. Paul Ryan went from being the speaker of the house, to Trumps personal house elf.
Well, pay attention GOP, because this is your future. Trump will use every one of you then discard and defame you. Just ask Paul “Dobbie” Ryan.
n most cases, Democratic candidates are seeking to restore Obama-era initiatives that President Donald Trump has reversed and undo new actions he has taken himself.
"I got a plan for our first 100 days," Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., said at a candidate forum in South Carolina last month. "Over 100 things you can do without Mitch McConnell, without the Republicans."
Proposals include rejoining the Paris climate accords and instituting more stringent pollution restrictions on power plants and cars. On immigration, candidates have talked about reinstating protections for recipients of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program that Trump has sought to remove (the Supreme Court is set to consider the case), and ending his travel restrictions on certain countries.
Just a reminder that we absolutely need to retake the white house next year. Come on people, WE CAN DO THIS. GET HYPED. GET HYPED LIKE YOU’RE ABOUT TO RAID AREA 51. THEY CAN’T STOP ALL OF US.
The shortest way of describing what happened with Donald Trump’s census fiasco is that mendacity met the rule of law and, for now, the rule of law won. Trump tried to add a citizenship question to the 2020 census, but the Supreme Court stopped him because the rationale his administration offered for the change was demonstrably false. The fallback plan he hinted at—of adding the question via executive order—never materialized because the president has no such authority. On Thursday, Trump gave up, though he pretended otherwise.
Once again, Trump limps away from another embarrassing defeat going “I let you win I let you win.” This time in regards to trying to mess with the 2020 census.
Trump earlier on Sunday said that "'Progressive' Democrat Congresswomen" should "go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came" before criticizing policies in the U.S.
The tweets seemed directed at Reps. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.), Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.), Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) and Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass.).
As Clinton pointed out, Tlaib, Ocasio-Cortez and Pressley were all born in the U.S.
Yet again, Trump is a racist idiot, and the person who SHOULD be President right now puts him in his place.
That’s it for this week. Have a good week, check out the GNR Spotify list, make sure you stay hydrated, and please don’t try and raid area 51.
