The weird thing about this whole thing is that the economy has been doing so well. Any normal President would be invincible right now.

QuoteHere is a breakdown of Democrats' over performance tonight in all 4 contested special elections:

SC #HD99: D+13.08%
WI #AD58: D+24.90%
WI #SD10: D+27.52%
IA #HD06: D+20.44%

That is an average Dem over performance tonight of D+21.49%

That's... significant.

It doesn't mean anyone's changed their minds, just that a few more Dems are motivated enough to vote in special elections.

And historically that has carried through from the special elections to the midterm elections.

I don't see how you can presume either of those things with just the information provided.

Ockhams Razor?

I mean sure we can guess. People don't usually show up in mass numbers for elections to state legislatures. Maybe there was much higher turnout than usual as per your point. But I haven't seen any numbers on turnout compared to past turnout.

Donald barely has an agenda besides Rs passing things for which he can take the credit. This is the whole reason why congressional Rs are still putting up with him. Paul Ryan and Mitch McTurtle get their agenda passed, Donald takes the credit. Everyone wins. Simple deal.


They passed one major bill all year.

Which proves my point.  :huh:

Party agendas are much larger than one bill. Normal administrations pass much more than that in their first year.

QuoteTrump administration creates new religious, moral protections for health workers

The Trump administration will create new protections for health workers who have religious and moral objections to certain procedures, such as abortion or assisted suicide.

The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) announced Thursday it will create a new division under the Office of Civil Rights (OCR) responsible for investigating complaints filed by workers claiming that their employers have violated their religious rights.

The changes represent a major shift for the OCR, which in the past has primarily focused on enforcing patient safety and privacy concerns.

The new division, called the Conscience and Religious Freedom Division, will enforce "laws and regulations that protect conscience and prohibit coercion on issues such as abortion and assisted suicide" in HHS-funded or conducted programs," according to OCR's updated website.

"By ensuring individuals and institutions can exercise their conscience and religious freedom rights, OCR furthers justice and tolerance in a pluralistic society," says an announcement that was published in the Federal Register Thursday morning.

Democrats and other critics worry the changes could restrict access to health care for some.

"I am deeply troubled by reports of the unconscionable approach being considered by President Trump's Administration to use the civil rights office at the Department of Health and Human Services as a tool to restrict access to health care for people who are transgender and women," Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash.), ranking member of the Senate Health Committee, said in a statement.

"This would be yet another attempt to let ideology dictate who is able to get the care they need. Any approach that would deny or delay health care to someone and jeopardize their wellbeing for ideological reasons is unacceptable. We need to work to ensure everyone has access to quality, affordable health care, no matter who they are."
"I've never been quite sure what the point of a eunuch is, if truth be told. It seems to me they're only men with the useful bits cut off."
I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.
