Basically the entire video is "It's all Paul Ryan's fault" but Trump is too much of a coward and just say it himself, so he's using Judge Jeanine to speak for him. Not sure if there's any other way to take this.
hearing her talk is making me very uncomfortable.

Seems legit, Trumps Razor in action.I'm sure its been brought up already but I wouldn't be surprised if the main reason Trump wanted people to watch this show was because of chyrons earlier on in the day on Fox:

edit: also what is the freedom caucus? i just heard it for the first time maybe yesterday?
A caucus in the US system is a group of similarly aligned politicians that sorta act like a micro-party within the House. They're, far as I understand, one of the most heavily 'right wing in a corporatist kinda way' groups in the House of Representatives, and most importantly, there's around 30 of them. That's enough that if they don't vote in line with party, Republicans don't have a majority. Subsequently trying to keep them appeased, while also even looking at all like a moderate, is one of the most delicate balances a Republican Speaker must strike.
Ahem that's a TV judge sir. TV Judges are the highest form of Judiciary. Ginsburg wishes she could pontificate over bullshit of no consequence every day at 9.

So let me get this right.
Your president is too much of a coward to say anything himself publicly. So when he has something that he wants to say, he has to have it said through a proxy.
A proxy that happens to have a shitty show on a trash TV network.
And the way he informs the world about what he has to say is via a Tweet,
Stay classy USA.

The tweet also defeats the point of using a proxy.

i unironically agree with this analogy 100%
Since people already posted the Ken Watanabe quote.
Not only that but Trump went on about how hard Ryan worked and what a good job he did on Friday. Fucking coward. He is the worst example of a human being.

Fascinating. That dynamic must have flown right over Trump's head when he tried to bully them to vote his way.

Even if we take the assumption his boner was actually about this:

Then we have a US President who trusts the vague claims of a TV network more than he does his own intelligence services.

I want to see Ryan replace Devin Nunes on the HIC with someone who will actually go after Trump so bad. I have to think there's a growing group in the House and Senate who see Trump's usefulness is dwindling after his repeated failures.
Because orange isn't the new black.
Because one is a black Democrat and the other an orange.
I don't understand why there isn't a law only permitting people who have served X years as public servants to become president. Like, fuck, even a basic understanding of politics isn't enough

Then why the fuck is he president?
He is a (bad) businessman, he is not fit for the job, never was. When will people realise this?!

Precisely, a hospital wouldn't just hire a neurosurgeon based on how many people vote for him, regardless of whether he had never performed a surgery before.
How does a man with no experience just get to become president?! It completely and utterly makes a mockery of America.
If Devos was our leader after the cylons attack then we may as well offer our bodies up for parts.
Also scary to be reminded Ben Carson could be president if some crazy shit went down.

What a small, passive-aggressive shithead. So weak. If you want to say it, say it.
NBC is talking about this now.

The most hilarious scenario would be if his tweet was about those wiretapping claims but then after Bannon saw that he went to her and asked her to open the show with a Paul Ryan roast and Trump didn't really want to put Ryan on blast. Definitely seems more of a Bannon move.

The Sundays shows better cover this. Trump is basically saying Paul Ryan needs to resign. Its a big deal.
And so passive aggressive. Trump needs to be a man and do it himself if he wants it that badly.

The disgust in her voice when she talks about Ryan having experience. I have no love for Ryan, but when did having experience at doing a job become a thing to criticise people over?
What the fuck is going on over there.

CNN just talked about it. And of course the Republicans think Trump didn't know about it. Its his personal fucking twitter account.
Trump doesn't operate by normal means. He is a narcissistic egomaniac that expects everyone to bend to his whim through mockery and intimidation. It rarely if ever has worked in his favor. He literally weaponizes his cash flow as an intimidation strategy in business, often to screw over others for petty reasons.
The freedom caucus effectively is little different, putting inhumane principles and their little douchey club ahead of the country they were elected to serve. They literally only voted against Trump because the bill didn't go far enough to strip healthcare back to where any govt spending was curtailed. Trump is incompetent, but these guys are truly evil.
We can't expect a business man to know about the nuances of his personal Twitter account

Trump doesn't have a chess game though, he's just an idiot. Bannon may, but he's no genius either.
Experience = elite/insider = enemy of the people
It's much better to let a deranged gameshow host run the country.

This is probably what it was about. Still, lmaoI'm sure its been brought up already but I wouldn't be surprised if the main reason Trump wanted people to watch this show was because of chyrons earlier on in the day on Fox:
Bannon thinks in terms of good vs evil. The notion that his own side wouldn't embrace the god emperor as ultimate authority genuinely haven't crossed his mind.
See how he thought telling self serving beaurecrats to sacrifice themselves was a good idea.
