    OH WBE-Eeeeeee....

    n perhaps one of the most demeaning statements on the nursing profession since Joy Behar’s 2015 “doctor’s stethoscope” comments on The View, Washington State Senator Maureen Walsh proclaimed on the Senate floor that Critical Access Hospital nurses should be exempt from protections in mandatory overtime because they sit around and play cards most of the day:
    “I understand… making sure that we have ‘rest breaks’ and things like that. But I also understand that we need to care for patients first and foremost… I would submit to you that those [critical access hospital] nurses probably do get breaks! They probably play cards for a considerable amount of the day!”
    – -Sen. Maureen Walsh 4/16/19 comments on SHB 1155, a bill eliminating loopholes in mandatory overtime
    Yiiiiiiiiiiikes.

    Here is another idea I am sure Mets and his ilk support.

    It wasn't the massive tax cuts for the rich, that actually hurt many middle class taxpayers, that has ballooned the deficit the last two years.
    The "best economy ever" hasn't reduced it either. But according to the GOP, it's the Social Programs, that haven't changed in a decade, that is responsible.

    That is some honest debate for you.

    Question for people who oppose impeachment.
    If the nonsensical "investigations" into Hillary's Emails and Benghazi, which resulted in nothing, hurt her campaign. Including Comey's wrong-headed announcement.
    Why would an impeachment hearing that shows Trump's crimes, and let's face it, they were committed, not hurt Trump, even if the Senate ignores the facts?

    Some have argued that Muller left a path open for Trump and co to be indicted after he leaves the presidency. But that since there is a 5 year statute of limitations that it has to happen after Trump's first term. He can not have a second term for this to work. Do any of you think that it would be worth while to just stall and have congress do general investigations to keep Trump's **** in the news, hopefully win the election, and then have a new administration allow the department of justice to do what it needs to do(instead of pardoning like Nixon, or making a non prosecution agreement like Bill Clinton?). Because impeachment and possible conviction would remove Trump for now, but then what? If he is actually indicted and prosecuted after his presidency he would face a harsher justice.

    What does that have to do with impeachment and how it will hurt him in the 2020 election?

    Why not both. Impeachment won't lead to conviction in the traitorous GOP Senate. But it could hurt him enough to ensure his defeat.

    First things first -- I think Congress, and then the people, should get the unredacted report and proceed based on the facts at hand.

    That should be the first order of business -- continue the investigations and get all of the relevant information before deciding the appropriate response.

    To be clear, I'm not saying this should be done indefinitely -- I'm saying that we need to hear from people like Mueller, monitor the trials of people like Roger Stone, and gather all of the facts, or as many as possible from further investigation, before determining the next course of action.

    The only government numbers I could find was it might be 0.3% of HUD residents that are undocumented. 96% are citizens and about 4% are legal immigrants.

    But for an Administration that has tried to destroy Public Housing, why not wreck families too.

    Your immunity to cruelty is astonishing.

    Fortunately, the Dems will stop it.

    Responsibility my ass! For Trump, being president is all about sating his colossal ego, he doesn’t give a damn about anything else. Bottom line, Trump will NEVER be more powerful in his miserable life than he is right now, and he’ll willingly **** on the Constitution to remain in office.

    How should Democrats deal with Trump?

    Impeachment in 2019? (Assuming they can get the Senate on board)

    Or

    Election in 2020? (Assuming that they can vote him out of Office)

    It's not ALL a death cult. Some of them would rather see people live, provided they can take glee in their suffering.

    I fear for what could happen if we wait until 2020. But I do look forward to casting a vote knowing that it will lead to the biggest s***heel in modern American history and most of his family going to prison.

    On this date in 2015, 2016, 2017, as well as 2018, "Crazy/Stupid Republican of the Day" published profiles of Kentucky State Senator C.B. Embry, who we recognized in our first profile as the sponsor of legislation that would offer a $2500 bounty on transgendered public school students using the "incorrect bathroom". This was in January 2015 (right after he won a new term in the state senate), and not long thereafter, he killed a bill about trying to decide how school superintendents are picked by trying to sneak an amendment on it for a ban on transgendered citizens using public bathrooms (sadly, Embry's brand of transphobic madness has now become the status quo of Republican domestic policy). Embry has also palled around with Kentucky clerk Kim Davis, supporting her homophobic quest against same sex marriage so much that he sponsored SB 5, a "religious freedom" law to allow for discrimination against LGBT citizens. Rounding out Embry's profile, he repeatedly has supported legislation to require mandatory (but medically unnecessary) ultrasounds on all abortions without exception, even, for victims of rape and incest, supported a TRAP law to attempt to shut down all abortion clinics in his state, wants concealed carry of firearms without a permit for all citizens, voted for a bill which would define first responders as a protected class in hate crimes legislation (which he really don't think it's bad, but the fact that he thinks it shouldn't apply to LGBT citizens, who are BORN gay, but it should apply to people based on their employment choices is troubling), and under his "legislative priorities" on Project Vote Smart, lists "the coal industry" as his top concern, which is as honest of him as it is downright sad for his constituents. In 2018, Embry supported legislation to ban abortion at 11 weeks, because if a 20-week ban will get overturned by the courts as unconstitutional via Roe v. Wade, surely an eleven week ban would get the support of a judge, right? (NO.)

    C.B. Embry is currently 78 years old, and fresh off of a re-election campaign that saw him granted a return to office with 67% of the vote. He has decided to up the ante for unconstitutional anti-choice legislation even farther than his last term in office, this time becoming the sponsor of a fetal heartbeat bill, effectively trying to oulaw the procedure at 6 weeks this time.

    We’re expecting Embry to run for re-election in 2022 when he’s in his eighties and watch him try and overturn Roe v. Wade outright.
