House vote result nonetheless, the DOJ scrubbing will prevent us from ever seeing what's in that file.

The way I see it, one of two possibilities:
1. Johnson used the delay to ensure he has the votes.
2. Johnson does not have the votes, but has allowed enough time for DOJ to scrub the files.

Thune will probably bring the ACA subsidies up for a vote, and in the unlikely event it passes, Johnson will not bring it up for a vote in the House, or if he does, it will be only because he knows it will fail. Those 8 Democrat Senators should be made to eat shit.

The first Johnson gambit will be to hold up the vote until the special election for Tennessee’s 7th Congressional District takes place Dec 2, hoping to gain a GOP win and nullify Grijalva's vote. If a Dem wins, he will seek another way to hold up the vote until he can't any longer.

I grew up in a working-class Brooklyn neighborhood, which has been subsumed by Park Slope. Today, I can't afford to live there, or just about anywhere in the city and its immediate surroundings.

In the past, most of Congress abided by the law. But now, it does not. A lawsuit is a lengthy process with numerous appeals and a corrupt SCOTUS for the finale.

The single-payer part of Medicare is not so good. If you don't have a Health Insurance Company Advantage policy to augment Medicare you shell out a lot more in co-pay. In that light, Medicare for all would not be single-payer healthcare.

I'm reading Scott Anderson's latest book: King Of Kings. It's about the Shah and the Iranian Revolution of 1979.
That gilded facility with court jesters and a ballroom describes the Shah's rule. It is the way of failing authoritarians.

Cheney was a deep proponent of the Unitary Executive--maybe, in his case, the Unitary Vice President.
I remember seeing him whe he was in Congress in the late 1970s. Evil was written all over his face even then.
