Mmkay, but in Trump's defense, the expectation that you fucking dipshits would have managed to put together a plan for repealing and replacing Obamacare over seven years of whinging about it that amounts to more than "IOU: 1 Health Care System" isn't exactly "excessive", Mickey-C.

Please Donald, by all means, continue antagonizing the people who have the power to remove you from office. Go right ahead.

Since November last year. The original has a good cartoon to go with it.

He's insanely pissed that he can't destroy Obama's greatest accomplishment, and he's going to keep spinning his wheels on this until midterms and poison the well. Over 9000D chess here.
So embarrassing, guy can't take responsibility for anything considering he was right there whining about repealing the ACA for seven years like everyone else. Too stupid to stay on message or be anywhere near remotely informed throughout the process. The guy doesn't even have a base understanding as to how health insurance works currently after confusing it with life insurance on what, 3 or 4 occasions now. Someone needs to call him out/slap him down over these stupid ass tweets. Newsflash bud, these make you look like an incompetent moron that doesn't know how to do your job.
Like I said before. Trump isn't wrong in saying that. It's more targeted at the GOP though and it's something we all have said.
That said. Trump hasn't held a press conference or town hall detailing HIS healthcare plan. Because he doesn't have one and doesn't know anything about it.
I do like this infighting though and I'm eager to see what comes of it.

Obama busted his ass trying to sell the aca to the people and to his party. Trump is separating himself from any legislation and the process and can't answer or even attempt to answer basic questions on what it is he's trying to get the GOP to pass. He's making it seem like it's only his job to say "make it so, #2" and when it magically doesn't happen he's not to shoulder any of the blame. So, yeah he's a stepping a tad out of line with his tweet (as usual).
Sweet baby jesus that's good.
Yeah Mitch! Why is this so hard?

But didn't Trump say he had a magical, amazing infrastructure bill and ideas?
Must be filed next to that secret ISIS plan.

I had to go check to make sure this was real.
Dude is on vacation and demanding to have Mitch go and fail again.
Sounds like he's walking back the attack, and extending an olive branch with the "you can do it!"
How dumb do you have to be to attack the guy who can make or break your legislation hopes?

Yep, but Trump will never forget the original anger over why he tweeted. Like with Sessions, it will only deepen over time. Guy can hold a grudge like no other.
The tonal deafness of someone on vacation who looks as much of a failure as McConnell does while on vacation is almost too much.

Man I hope this ratchets up. McConnell deserves every single second of it.

This is fucking hilarious. He literally believes being president means taking vacations. The guy has no work ethic and just wants to sit on his ass with a pen. Fucking dumbass. As much as I despise the turtle, he actually works.

It's been a while so I can't remember really. Did the Republicans ever say before Trump that they were going to replace the ACA with their own plan? I only seem to remember hearing about this R&R and how easy it would be when Trump was campaigning.
Haha, he really thinks the president plays no part in crafting policy, amazing.

This was only a matter of time. I need more popcorn, cause more is gonna happen.
Meetings and calls!!!!!!
OK, but I want to see the actual children's book now
seven years and they couldn't muster together even the vaguest notion of a plan that wouldn't leave tens of millions uninsured and tank the economy
the gop's signature move is to repeatedly say "why is no one having a conversation about [repeal and replace]" over and over without ever actually getting to the stage of putting together anything beyond cursory broad ideas and platitudes
fill in the blank for other topics too*
*except for rolling back civil rights, the one thing they are able to coordinate on to some extent

It's passive aggressive as fuck, which is Trump's "charm" process. Trump doesn't understand or care about the legislative process, nor does he give a shit what's in bills. He wants a "win." It's stunning that he has no accomplishments so far. We've seen what competent presidents do when they have full or near full control of congress (see: 2009-2010). They get a lot of shit done. Trump has no excuse.
Wouldn't be stunned at all if Trump is threatening to fire McConnell's wife (Sec of Transportation) before the end of the year.

Actually, that's Trump's way of playing part in crafting legislation. Specifically, the words "you can do it!"
Reaching peak comedy here. He's really trying to run the presidency like a business; and is going to be very confused when he gets back from vacation with nothing on his desk to sign. That's really all he wants to do, take vacations, sign things people put in front of him, and make speeches/shake hands for photo ops.
I really do enjoy the flip-flop from insulting McConnell in one tweet to encouraging him he can get all this shit done NOW in the next tweet.

Don't think playing mind games with Mitch is a good idea. He thinks he can't get stuff done now? Attack your own party, great decision! /s

The way they're trying to pass this, it only needs 50 votes, so that's no excuse.
