That's already delayed until after the holiday. So maybe something big on the Russia front is coming?

Maybe it's just because he's a dumb, senile old man who can't handle anyone criticizing him for anything ever and has the job that guarantees criticism more than any other.
There's already noise about, that Mitch is going to pull a Friday Surprise and bring the vote back up when people are more worried/paying attention to the holiday weekend.
That explains the "bribe" chatter this morning.

Republicans are dumb, but I don't *think* they are that dumb.
That is what 35% of the country chose to be President. An insanely fragile manchild who envisions himself literally beating up the media that's critical of him.
Since those same supporters wanted reporters executed, just beating them up is an improvement.
To @LordRendar: Repealing Obamacare without a replacement would be a hard loss of insurance for tons of people. The current republican plan will have about 22 million people lose their health insurance, doing a repeal with no replacement will be 32 million.
To @Denbrought: The president of the united states thought it to be appropriate to post a meme using footage from from his pro-wrestling days (which yes, the president of the united states has), implying that he will assault the media. This is because he is a child and this country is trash.

but you said "What is this I can't even" - and then you explain what it is? You can, even!

I don't want the Republicans to enact anything on their agenda, since it's all pretty horrible.
But at least Pence might have a little respect for the office.
I think Pence is less likely to spark an international incident.
Or would at least be apprehensive of making the same errors as Trump in foreign matters, even if deep down he felt the same as Trump about it.

He'd probably still refuse to shake hands with Angela Merkel, but it would be because he'd be too uneasy if his wife wasn't in the room.
This is an interesting response after the CNN coverage and such.
Did CNN commit a crime against the author of the video? The highlighted part above where CNN says "CNN reserves the right to publish his identity should any of that change." People are saying this translates to "CNN will dox him if he doesn't stay in-line from now on," which Assange quotes some of the NY criminal code on.
I'm not a fan of Assange (he's successfully been character assassinated. I don't know what to believe on him at this point), but I don't see anything factually inaccurate with what he quoted.
Note to all: @blotsfan is apparently 100% OK with doxing.
No idea, but I'd argue that CNN is a lot more powerful than Wikileaks, and thus it's more important to hold those powerful to account than those relatively less powerful. Ideally both, but we don't live in an ideal world. In such an ideal world, we wouldn't NEED to deal with either, because abuse wouldn't happen.
But by definition bad conduct happens, and thus I put more importance on holding CNN to account than Wikileaks. And I'd say that CNN is being abusive here by threatening with doxing.
I'm long past the point of believing there's a meaningful separation between online life and "real life" and I'm sure as hell not going to shed any tears if a news organization reveals that someone who's made national news and is promoting anti-Semitic propaganda online. If you get fired from your job for being a bigoted piece of shit, you deserve it.
FTFY to reflect the actual issue.
Agreed. And this is getting into "is anonymity important with regards to freedom of speech?" Which is a little more for that thread down there than this thread, strictly speaking.
Media threats to individuals who don't toe the line... well that could be the one below too, or here, depending.
