    • Don't like the cunt, but perhaps he doesn't want his watch slipping around as he takes his swing? if so he should just not wear a watch when playing golf minddetritus
    • Wearing a watch while golfing is stupid as it can damage the watch or your game. For the watch, there's risk of shock to the movement or loosening of partskona
    • It can also negatively affect your swing as they can feel awkward and throw off your follow through. The avg male swings a driver at 90mphkona
    • this fat fuck probably 75mph but I digress. When the driver hits the ball it sends a shock up the shaft to the golfers hand then watch.kona
    • But then again, this asshat drives a cart on the green so what the fuck does he care about golf common sense or etiquettekona
    • Kona, I don't golf, but I do sneak booze into driving ranges and putt-putt courses. Any tips on the perfect swing?garbage

    This is republican logic:

    "According to the latest ‘score’ from the Congressional Budget Office, Medicaid spending would rise from $393 billion in 2017 to $464 billion in 2026—that’s a $71 billion, or 18 percent, increase.

    So how are Democrats describing this as a Medicaid cut?
    Because even a $71 billion increase is considerably smaller than what taxpayers would see under current law. If nothing changes, the CBO predicts Medicaid spending in 2026 would be a whopping $624 billion."

    "You have to admire the Chinese combination of toughness, patience and savvy. One day I hope America again will have a president with such attributes — not a sucker for flattery, not an ignorant ideologue who rips up treaties he hasn’t even read, not a made-for-television negotiator who throws his best leverage out the window — the ability to negotiate with China as the head of a trading bloc controlling 40 percent of the world’s economy — before he sits down at the table."

    Latest polls indicate that the Senate health bill is supported by only 17% of Americans, with only a mere 35% of Republicans supporing. 8% of Dems and 15% of independents support it. That makes the bill just slightly more popular than congress itself.

    The delay to vote on the bill is not expected to help the bill pass. A PAC closely tied to Trump called America First has already started running attack ads against the Nevada Senator who says he won't support the bill, a move which McConnell described as "beyond stupid."

    All of this seems to indicate the bill will not make it through the Senate, but in this crazy world where poll numbers and facts don't matter, I'm still scared. I didn't think it'd pass the House, and I didn't think Trump would be elected. So wtf do I know?

    • Yup, I am scared too. There's zero logic going on out there, beyond a few hold outs (that are smart and preserving their futures).formed
