Doesn't skinny repeal violate all of Trump's promises about lower premiums.

Trump is profoundly stupid. He has no clue about anything. Except #winning

 

[shockthrill]

Who is the first? Not including dictators

the worst president in the world by far, even worse than Trump

is Jacob Zuma

the man has single handily ruined South Africa's economy with his affiliation with the Guptas, and has god knows how many corruption charges

he makes Trump look like Jesus

 

[Blader]

Doesn't skinny repeal violate all of Trump's promises about lower premiums.

Trump has no idea what's in any of these bills, he just wants to sign something

 

[Kevinroc]

Doesn't skinny repeal violate all of Trump's promises about lower premiums.

Yes. Not a single person should be surprised. Trump knows nothing. All he wants is to be able to claim victory over Obama.

 

[Ithil]

Doesn't skinny repeal violate all of Trump's promises about lower premiums.

Literally the only reason he "promised" that was because it sounds nice. He has no idea about healthcare and no convictions in his claimed promises.

 

[Autodidact]

Right. He thinks health insurance costs $12 because his dumb ass confused it with Gerber baby life insurance.

 

[shockthrill]

I have a question, and be objective as possible, because I don't know much about his past


Was Trump a good businessman? or was he just lucky to be born into wealth?

oh lord, they've got paris on CNN tonight to defend the WH and Mooch

He was spectacularly bad in some respects and decent in others (mostly only involving real estate deals)

He portrayed himself as the former. He's really the latter.

 

[Brawly Likes to Brawl]

I've been wondering why Scaramucci took this job, and after coming home, I heard some lady on MSNBC talking about how he's been trying to sell his company for $180 mil to some Chinese conglomerate and he needs the treasury department to give that sale the clear.

 

[B-Dubs]

He went bankrupt like 4 times and failed at running a casino of all things.

No. If you invested his father's loan in an index fund you'd have more money today than he does.

 

[ShadowSwordmaster]

Wait, they don't have a bill yet?

 

[Ogodei]

They warned them yesterday. Ryan didn't listen. They're warning them again. The HFC doesn't want this bill at all.

This isn't over yet.

But isn't this what the Senate would want? I'd trust Meadows sooner than i'd trust Ryan, and whether Ryan tried to be faithless and pass the bill doesn't matter if Meadows managed to block it according to his own agenda.

 

[RumbleHumble]

Trump got a million dollar loan from his dad back when a million dollars actually means something. Combine that with the inherited business he retained when his dad died, we got ourselves a dude who, at the very least, fits the definition of the latter before the former.

 

[Hubbl3]

Hilton?

This guy

 

[sangreal]

Hilton?

Paris Dennard, the black jeffrey lord

Barney Frank has always had his number.



Droppo the audio.

Bets on how many audible snorts there are?

I feel like they're going to pass it and then try to pass blame to each other as the election approaches.

Four hours later, and I still cannot believe they're heading this direction. I made this as a passing comment hoping things would change and the news coming out was just misinterpretations of the truth. The 2018 election is going to be a complete clownshow.

Republican senators will be blaming the House. The House will be blaming the senators. Democrats will be sitting back twiddling their thumbs watching them go at each other. All they need to do is say, "Every single thing wrong with health care was done by the republicans." It's going to be absolute mayhem.

I mean, this is the absolute biggest gift republicans could be giving democrats right now. They could have easily said, "Well, we tried. Sorry, Donald. Let's move on." But they let him manipulate them. "Come to lunch!" he says, and they all cave to his demands. What did he threaten them with? Why give in here when you KNOW it is political suicide?

I'm stunned right now. Just stunned. What a bizarre turn of events.

Awkward Ann is ready, McSally is trembling.

And this was published before Sabato moved McSally's seat into the tossup category.

I love the thought that they're quivering in private.

I’m not Steve Bannon, I’m not trying to suck my own cock," said Anthony Scaramucci. https://t.co/8PfIPgFSQk

I 100% guarantee that Mooch has absolutely tried to suck his own cock. He researched it. He practiced it. He knows exactly which vertebrae are causing the problem.

Bannon no so much. He's only into that if someone else is being degraded.

 

[Autodidact]

Bannon might be able to suck his own cock if there were whiskey in it.

You want me to be as objective as possible?

Donald Trump is a testament to the fact that the idea of a "good businessman" is actually meaningless because there are no relevant skills to business. It's all luck moderated by preexisting financial resources.

The commercials are going to be so easy!

Russia Sanctions bill passed. In a smart world, Trump would make a speech about how it hurts our allies, sanctions hurt the average citizen, and more along those lines. He'd then send it back where Republicans would praise him and say how they understand now while getting praise from the public. Let's see how Trump responds.

Now I just think of the scene from Clerks when Dante and Randel are talking about sucking their own dicks.

What will actually happen:

It probably won't get to that point. The House is not going to provide assurances those Senators are expecting

 

[aspiegamer]

I'm so sick of McCain's bullshit this week. Talks about needing to go back to committees to discuss bills (which is a great idea!) but is going to vote for the skinny bill regardless as long as he's handed assurance from the house. Voted for repeal and replace but against repeal and delay, which are both contrary votes to his request that we slow things down and talk about it. It all sounds totally awesome and reasonable on camera and to the press unless, you know, someone bothered to spend 20 seconds looking at his actions instead of his words.

 

[Plinko]

Honestly, I'm not sure they care. I think it's clear they want to pass it and blame the other group.

That speech was the biggest bunch of bullshit this week, in a week full of bullshit.

Pointing fingers at the opposing chamber is the natural progression of pointing fingers at the Democrats which they can't do anymore with any success.

House Judiciary Republicans sent a letter to Sessions and Rosenstein asking them to appoint a second special counsel to investigate the real problems, like Hillary's emails and "unmasking". Give me a break.

Which Sessions will very likely not do because he's previously declined to open a DoJ investigation against Hillary because he knows there's nothing there.

They just want to feed some read meat to their base.

No way he could do it with his gut. I would be suprised if he can touch his toes.

He and Jennifer Rubin are two of the more prominent examples of Jewish Republicans noping the fuck out after seeing the anti-Semitism last year.

Eric Cantor didn't address that point in his interview with the Washingtonian the other day, funnily enough.

The Mooch DEFINITELY has a hair mouse.

I have never met a black person like Paris and I've met a shit ton of black people (I'm black). Even the black Republicans I've met have never been this far gone. Like wtf, how does he even spew this shit? Guarantee he's not like this off the air.

I honestly don't believe the Rs have the margins in the House to pass a simple "skinny repeal". Their own bill passed by what 2 votes?

If the game is to blame the other chamber, you're reaching replacing-leadership status, cause this is their major policy goal.

I actually can't believe they took a picture together.

"We forgive her," one of the girls, Sarah, told BuzzFeed News. "She had a bad idea about Islam and about Muslims. We sat down with her and discussed Islam...Islam is about forgiveness and we want to show that to people.

"She has a good heart, she's a good person inside, and we don't want anyone to judge her."

In a post on the Fargo Police Facebook page, Chief David Todd said that everyone involved in the altercation on Tuesday had expressed regret regarding their actions upon meeting on Thursday afternoon.

"With an openness to reconciliation, these women have come together and talked through this incident and expressed their sincere regrets, apologies and most importantly — forgiveness to each other," Todd said. "This process has also allowed them to gain understanding and respect for each other."

Amber Hensley was videotaped verbally threatening the three Somali women on Tuesday and apologized after footage of the altercation went viral.

In the footage, Hensley confronts Rowda Royan, Sarah Hassan, and her sister, Leyla, around 5:30 p.m. local time, accusing the women of parking too close to her.

Royan turned on her camera about halfway through the altercation, capturing Hensley saying, "We're gonna kill you. ... We're gonna kill every one of you fucking Muslims."

"Go home. Go home. ... Why are you in our country? I'm an American; you're not," said Hensley in the video.

When Royan warned Hensley she was going to report her to police, Hensley could be heard saying, "Do you think the police care?"

Fargo police did not immediately respond to requests for comment, but posted on Facebook that their officers responded to the incident on Tuesday.

Speaking to BuzzFeed News, Sarah Hassan said police were "very supportive" of her, her sister, and Royan.

Hassan said the reason the three could not move their car was that Hensley's body was physically too close to it and they did not want to run her over.

"We don't want her arrested," she said. "We just want everyone to know the truth."

Video of the exchange was shared widely on social media and has picked up millions of combined views.

Such was the spread of the clip that multiple people tracked down and contacted Hensley's workplace, public accountants Horab & Wentz. The company announced on Wednesday that she was "no longer employed" as a secretary with them, effective immediately.

"Horab & Wentz does not agree with or support the statements expressed by Amber Hensley in the recently posted video," the company told BuzzFeed News. "She does not reflect the views of Horab & Wentz."

Hensley told local station KVRR that she was sorry for her words.

"It was not a Christian-like thing to do AT ALL and wish I could take it back, but I lost my cool and I can’t. I am terribly sorry. I just wish that the whole video could be shown," she said.
