Does this mean people who don't want to work won't be getting a living wage?

It means that Florida will flood a bit quicker, and that can only be a good thing.

It's interesting that just by having introduced the Green New Deal, the Democrats have forced a bunch of Republicans to try and take a stand in climate change. It's a lot of nonsense talking point bollocks from Republicans about massive increase in nuclear (which these days looks uneconomical compared to renewables) and carbon capture, but it's interesting because they're all suddenly accepting that human caused global warming is actually a thing, and a thing that needs fixing. It's interesting that none of the democrats would vote to support the green new deal, what's there to be scared of?

Because they don't want to play Mitch's ridiculous political game which is done for trite point scoring rather than actual fixing anything that's wrong with the country. Mitch brought this to a vote only because he knew it couldn't win. So what's the point of that? To me he's just showing us that he isn't qualified to and has no interest in being an actual head of a legislative body. He's basically just trolling.

Trump gave Nancy a real gift, despite the majority of voters saying they voted based on healthcare issues in November, he's suddenly said he's now going to take away health insurance away from 21 million citizens, while also limiting coverage for millions more, plus has taken aim at Medicare, Nancy can't believe her luck, on a week Trump should be doing victory laps about the Bar Report has instead handed the narrative to the Dems.

Yeah. All of Trump's people (apart from Mick Mulvaney) thought it was really terrible idea. It should have been a great week for Trump - he should be quietly enjoying his time until the full Mueller report comes out, and joined Jimbo at using Mitch's Green Deal troll to fake-mock Democrats. Instead he's just decided to piss all the voters off again.

By the way, who is Rachel Maddow? I've seen a couple of clips of her reading the news and she seems to be an absolute fruitcake. Is she a big deal in America?

She used to have some interesting insight when Obama was President. But I think she's now the poster girl for Trump Derangement Syndrome, pushing out towards being the voice of the #resistance, all convoluted conspiracy theories that lead from a half-fact.

She's not as bad as Lawrence O'Donnell, Maddow might be the Tucker Carson of MSNBC , but O'Donnel is certainly the Hanity.

Whats the betting Trump never read what he handed over?
Though Bolton is a dangerous hawk of the worst kind, I'm sure if Trump wasn't so adverse to ever actually doing anything, Bolton might have got his long standing dream of nuking Iran, the Norks and others. Trumps very incompetence might be the only thing standing in the way of this happening.

The man is senile, now saying questioning his criminal past and present is an attempted coup www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-47884252This thin skinned twatery would be laughable if it wasn't so fecking scary, cos you know what he's about to do in 2020, de-legitimize the entire democratic process should he loose, all his talk about 'we our side have the guns and we have the bikers, so watch out' is actually quite terrifying cos of the 40% of the electorate that's now firmly in the Trump cult of personality, a large amount are unhinged lunatics.

Dunno. The bloke's a prick, but I think he's got a point. His opponents have knowingly spread black propaganda against him with the purpose of removing him from power.
"A coup d'état (/ˌkuː deɪˈtɑː/ (About this soundlisten); French: [ku deta]), also known as a putsch (/pʊtʃ/), a golpe, or simply as a coup, means the overthrow of an existing government; typically, this refers to an illegal, unconstitutional seizure of power by a dictator, the military, or a political faction."
It seems to me that America needs to have a good hard look at how it selects its potential leaders rather than trying to deselect them once they've been democratically elected.

Seems like the left haven't got over Mueller's total exoneration of Trump. I predict they never will.

Isn't this what a democratic opposition just does? Don't I remember the Tory Party campaigning against Tony Blair and Gordon Brown with the intention of removing them from power? Or was I imagining things?
