Rudy did just say that he's not looking for the AG post and that Sessions was right to recuse himself.

Trump must be thrilled at these comments.

 

[Autodidact]

What does Sean Hannity think of Sessions's recusal?

Is it just me or have people stopped reporting what Rush is saying these days? Haven't heard his name in a long time.

Murkowski's Alaskan ass would strangle the shit out of him.

Probably

Cornyn says "there will be a vote tomorrow" on the motion to proceed to the health care bill.

k

 

[Autodidact]

k

Yeah, I doubt Cornyn suddenly got in the loop when he's been wrong every time before.

 

[aspiegamer]

Watch all Ds flip at the last instant and vote to proceed so they can open Pandora's Box of amendments Republicans would end up having to vote on.

 

[Stinkles]

lol.

He would literally try to kill someone for disagreeing on policy? If it wasn't for their gender?

 

[BoogieWoogie]

I mean there can be a vote to proceed, doesn't mean it'll pass. They're up against a wall at this point.

 

[timetokill]

Is there a chart or comparison of total number of Trump golf days vs Obama?

Every Democrat proposes some variant of Medicare for All/public option/single-payer just to troll.

I see why Kushner doesn't talk much. Geez.

You clearly don't watch Jeffry Lord when he pops up on CNN way too often.

Motion to Proceed is usually indicative of the final vote, and "debate" is very short, like a day. If the vote tomorrow goes poorly, it could be back to the House by Thursday morning and on Trump's desk by the end of the day.

Assuming the Freedom Caucus is willing to vote for literally anything to put an end to this (given parliamentarian ruling on abortion provisions).

The problem being that nobody knows what "it" even is.

The fact that they're trying it without McCain around shows that McConnell's desperate, though. He could wait for AZ governor to install a sacrificial lamb, someone who'll retire before the special election, and thus could vote consequence-free.

Wow.

Uh, $5000 is kind of a low number.

 

[whyamihere]

Uh, $5000 is kind of a low number.

It's just a number to use to weed out the candidates who announce but never raise money.

 

[FyreWulff]

what satan has a years axis on a graph and makes it reversed

 

[SomewhatGroovy]

Here's today's slippery slope fallacy from Fox News.

Attorney's on Mueller's teams donated $200 bucks to Hillary and Obama. In turn, their agenda is now realized.

Fuck Fox News. Grade A garbage.

 

[balladofwindfishes]

Yeah, I doubt Cornyn suddenly got in the loop when he's been wrong every time before.

Still remember him saying they had the votes and we're going to pass it either late that night or early he next day, and 20 minutes later McConnell canceled the vote.

Quite the bad prediction lol

He's useless

That can't happen until McCain resigns his seat or dies. Who knows when that will be.

I don't think that's the case when the margins are this tight

Paul, for example, was open for a debate on a clean repeal, but wouldn't vote on the final bill

Yeah and as mentioned earlier, McCain is still out. They got nothing.

Anyways, what's interesting to me is that according to that Gallup poll, Trump is under water in every state that Obama won in 2008 + Texas, Arizona, and Georgia. Since a lot of states move together, this makes sense to me.

What I'd be worried about if I were Trump is that Obama won those states only after a huge financial meltdown and economic downturn. Nothing has really happened thus far on that level. Everything's been self-inflicted.

Interesting that it's Texas, Arizona, and Georgia, considering those are the states Hillary went over to expand the map in 2016.

It's too bad not only the expansion didn't happen but the blue wall fell apart by just a few thousand votes per state.

HC won't ever die until the Ds take back the House.

This presser is something.

Clinton and 2016 probably layed the groundwork for Democratic insurgence in GA/AZ/TX and a Trump presidency is accelerating the trend.

Think how Obama did the same for Republicans in WV, KY, MO.

 

[Ogodei]

I said in the main thread for the current press event that this is probably Scaramucci's work, more of that disgusting kind of theater he tried to pull back during the campaign.

 

[bangbang i'm a timpani]

did that dipshit just say the past 17 years of obamacare?

 

[Rebel Leader]

did that dipshit just say the past 17 years of obamacare?

He did

 

[Trouble]

Who is this low-rent Paul Ryan knockoff behind Trump's left shoulder?

 

[Autodidact]

He is right about Republicans' chanting "Repeal and replace" incessantly.

Too bad he doesn't see that doing it will hurt him.

 

[Poodlestrike]

They're retconning Bush away. It now goes Clinton->Obama->Trump.

 

[RumbleHumble]

They're retconning Bush away. It now goes Clinton->Obama->Trump.

The greatest enemy of the Republican party is the Republican party.

 

[Random Human]

Now would be a great day for the IC to drop some stuff.

 

[lush]

So the guy just read the normal Trump tweet ad-libs in speech form? Worthless. I don't see any way the remaining no's don't flip after that presidential grandstanding.

The guy is a broken record, so boring atp.

 

[Suikoguy]

They're retconning Bush away. It now goes Clinton->Obama->Trump.

Since it was a teleprompter speech, I wonder if that's what was in the script

 

[BoogieWoogie]

FYI:

It's fucking dead.

 

[PBY]

FYI:

It's fucking dead.

I mean, I think its better odds that it won't pass, but those "wavering" sens are soft "no"s/skeptical, most would vote yes. They can pass it without Collins and Murkowski.

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

McCain is getting chemo, Jesus Christ, pby.

 

[Zolo]

I thought they needed 50.

 

[Autodidact]

I thought they needed 50.

They do, and with McCain gone, they can only afford to lose one more. Collins and Murkowski kill it.

 

[BoogieWoogie]

No they can't, with McCain out, they can't afford more than one "no".

 

[RustyNails]

"this is a healthcare bill, trust me. pls vote yes" is McConnell's grand strategy.

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

I try to do work for 30 minutes and fuckery happens.

 

[Zolo]

They do, and with McCain gone, they can only afford to lose one more. Collins and Murkowski kill it.

Yeah. I knew that, so I was curious why it was specifying '49'.

 

[Aaron Strife]

FYI:

It's fucking dead.

Why is their goal even get to 49? So they can pretend like they had a chance at passing it if not for McCain?

 

[Futurevoid]

They do, and with McCain gone, they can only afford to lose one more. Collins and Murkowski kill it.

It would be 2, no? They have 52. With McCain out, we're down to 51. Collins is just about 100% a no on the MTP. Which would leave them at 50.

EDIT: If Murkowski is a no, then yeah. The MTP is dead as is the bill.
