Second cup of Coffee Talk

[elocomotive]

Paul Ryan just held a press conference to talk about replacement of Obamacare.

I think this is good, because there are certainly flaws with Obamacare, especially in regards to the employer mandate and how that impacts small businesses, work hours, etc. The premium increases are overstated because they are never stated in the context of what typical rate increases are, though there are certainly a few states with legitimate issues right now in that department.

I think if the discussion is focused on how to preserve health insurance for people (rather than just repeal it with no plan in place), this is a win-win in the long term.

We'll see in the coming months how that comes to fruition. I certainly think that regardless of how it manifests, getting a kind of national health care system in place will be a boon to Obama's legacy.

Just don't call it socialized health care...

The problem with Flynn is apparently not that he did something illegal, but that people found out about it.

After Flynn’s resignation, Trump says the ‘real story’ is ‘illegal leaks’

To steal a line from 'The Departed', this administration has more effin leaks than the Iraqi navy.

I'm sure this is just fake news/alternative facts/alternative reality...

"I just don't think it's useful to be doing investigation after investigation, particularly of your own party," Paul said in an appearance on Fox News Radio's "Kilmeade and Friends." ''We'll never even get started with doing the things we need to do like repealing Obamacare if we're spending our whole time having Republicans investigate Republicans. I think it makes no sense."

Sounds like a win-win to me.

So, essentially business as usual like the past 4 years?

IT'S ILLEGAL! IT'S FAKE! HILLARY HILLARY HILLARY!

Man, and we're not even a month into his presidency - How does he last 4 years, I can't see it happening.

Part of me is impressed he made it this far. A small part, but part nonetheless.

Doesn't Michigan have enough problems already?

Michigan Democrat Debbie Stabenow’s Senate seat is up for grabs in 2018, and the state’s Republican party is feeling optimistic about their chances to defeat the three-term senator after Donald Trump became the first GOP presidential candidate to carry the Great Lakes State since 1988. The Republicans have not decided who they’re running against Stabenow yet, but according to Roll Call, one name that has come up at last week’s Michigan GOP convention is prominent Detroit resident Robert Ritchie. Not ringing a bell? His name is Kiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiid…

it would be something if Dems replace Stabenow with Marshall Bruce Mathers III
