Tip of the hat to the people that didn’t just wallow in cynicism here, too, saw tons of comments elsewhere that after a day this won’t matter, no one cares, etc., purely press excitement.
Feedback can make a difference.
When was this fierce public backlash and by whom. They did it late last night behind closed doors.
Trump will take credit. Because, you know, the power of the tweet.
Now, does this provide a roadmap for Medicare, Medicaid, and Obamacare dismemberment efforts? SS too of course.
He’s already being given credit, at least by Bloomberg.
This needs to happen for every single bill the Republicans propose.
Well… good luck un-ringing this particular bell.
This makes me a little hopeful that chaos will sabotage many of the Republicans destructive goals. They just aren’t as smart as I thought - which they demonstrated by making this their first legislative action.
Of course he’s been given credit. What kind of political theater do you think trump team is running?
they just don’t see why they can’t do any fucking thing they want. so, yes, more of the same old shit.
they actually get a clue when other GOPs call bullshit on them.
i thought it was kabuki on steroids. what do i know?
Exactly. I’m so glad that the economy is back on track after the disastrous Obama years. Look at the unemployment rate today! /snark off and I have to say that because I have seen REAL comments like this from Trump supporters.
The Nazi Party cannot stand up to the will of the people. We ha d no time to respond, yet enough of us confronted them that they immediately retreated.
We can do this. We need to marshal these same forces for everything…Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, the ACA, and all the other things they want to destroy. We need the same pressure in the Senate against every cabinet nominee. They need to know they will feel the wrath of the American People when they try to destroy our society.
Nice work, folks. Now, let’s get busy again.
And chickened out before bringing it to the entire House…because we responded! The bully is scared when called out.
somebody needs to keep a list. GOP overearch an the idiot trump’s inanity. it will take a bigger book.
Please stop with the Nazi comparisons.
The Nazis were efficient, intelligent, knew how to build nice cars and run a government.
They were also hideously evil.
The republicans have none of those talents.
Just think what could have been if Congressional Democrats had worked as nicely with Obama in 2009. Instead, he spent as much time fighting with them as he did with the Republicans. That’s why they win and we lose— they get stuff done.
And the Orange Shitgibbon hasn’t even been inaugurated yet! Don’t worry, I’m making enough popcorn for everyone.
After a fierce public backlash, the House GOP reversed course and withdrew the rules change…
I call shenanigans. They want this too bad to give up this easily. $50 says there is a weakening of ethics rules still in the offing, albeit less encompassing and certainly less public.
