Somehow.

...how do you impose sanctions only on a country's Supreme Court? This makes little sense.

¯\_(^_^)_/¯

Reuter's specified that it's to the justices themselves.

Which, is, uh, about as possible.

Chaffetz is retiring.


Is this like 100% confirmed?

Are there any reasons for why he's retiring like six months after winning reelection?

"I'm about to land a job where they'll pay me crazy money" sounds significantly more believable than "oops I forgot I had kids six months ago" at least.

Still strange for a guy that was rising up in the ranks and didn't have any notable scandals looming on the horizon.

This is great. The guy who started one of the more evil movements in the alt-right instantly becomes a coward the moment his veil of anonymity was removed.

Even being a politician doesn't prevent GIFT from being true.

Honestly, the alt-right is simply the new KKK, despite the KKK being a part of it. Not in the sense of "they're all white supremacists" (though anyone who defends a white supremacist on his white supremacy is just as bad, and the vast majority of the alt-right defends white supremacy), but in the sense of "They're people who take pride in being horrible people so long as they have a veil of anonymity about them, and instantly become cowards the moment their hoods are pulled off. And they also have members in high places."

Bringing this back up to point out a particularly disgusting paragraph where it's revealed that the Trump administration tried to bully insurance companies into supporting Trumpcare by offering a trade for the cost sharing reimbursements:

At one recent meeting, Seema Verma, whom Trump picked to oversee the federal Medicare and Medicaid programs, stunned insurance industry officials by suggesting a bargain: The administration would fund the CSRs if insurers supported the House Republican bill to repeal the Affordable Care Act.

“It made no sense,” said one official at the meeting.

I mean, this does make sense if you remember that Donny is a businessman, not a politician. In business this sort of quid pro quo, you-scratch-my-back-I'll-scratch-yours deal is perfectly normal and accepted. It's completely foreign to how government works, but then so is Drumpf.

I think you missed the problem.

The CSR's are a part of Obamacare.

They are saying that they will fully fund the CSRs

If the insurers help them pass the bill that gets rid of Obamacare.

Which will therefore get rid of the CSRs.
