"…the meeting was cordial and “nobody called anyone an ignorant slut.”
I’m trying to remember the last time that I was in a meeting that featured one participant calling another a slut. (Although it would make for entertaining faculty meetings.)
Does it suggest anything about the GOP Caucus that this seems to be a bright line for success in a meeting?
Why would he offer direction? He doesn’t know what he’s doing and refuses to learn anything. He knows everything already. He’ll just dangle an unresolved episode ending as a legislative promise: ‘just wait a couple of weeks and you’ll see. You’re going to love it’. He doesn’t tell the enemy his plans. Why would he tell the House or Congress?
the lack of Trump’s blessing is the one thing holding things up
A convenient dodge that is completely irrelevant when you have a veto proof majority.
the President has given a host of mixed messages,
Anyone who’s worked for a weak, indecisive, uninformed, and cowardly manager will recognize this. Any suggestion of a course of action and the putative boss points out there’s a drawback. They got into the position because of their ass-kissing skills, not their ability to make difficult decisions. Ordinarily you’d go back to your desk and surreptitiously work on your résumé but that’s not going to help here.
Trump knows next to nothing about health care…or taxes or foreign policy or geography or trade. He takes hold of a snippet of these things and makes it the main thing. If you disagree he’ll attack you.
Trump’s ONE and only objective as he resides in the WH, is to BILK tour coffers for as much as he can. He’s in it for the money and the free ride at OUR expense to the nearest golf course.
This all he see’s when he thinks of his stay We’re his cash cow. This is the only thing Donald Trump is interested for himself and his cronies.
Look at Puerto Rico electrical grid rebuild.
McConnell and Ryan could pass this thing with bipartisan veto-proof majorities in a few hours if they were willing to expend the political capital. (And really, who the fsck is going to challenge Ryan for speaker in this atmosphere)
Let’s not forget that, like all bullies, Chiselin’ Trump is a coward. He will not challenge anyone to their face. The name-calling will come soon afterwards, from the safe distance afforded by Twitter.
Hey what about the beautiful fantastic blond awesome with big tits and a nice ass that will cover everybody for $12 a month bill ?
Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha They really expected something from him? hahahahahahahahahahahahaha
You need to have watched Saturday Night Live with the original cast, the News Segment, had a Point/Counterpoint where Dan Akroyd played a Conservative pundit and Jane Curtin played the Liberal. It was a parody of a real segment on a real news show. Akroyd always began his reply to Jane Curtin’s ad hominem emasculation of him and his position with “Jane, you ignorant slut…” Apologies for the Youtube Advertisement.
He will be getting direction from fox & friends tomorrow morning. You’ll see.
Oh big surprise. Trump himself has no direction. What ever makes him look like his vision of a man is where he is at. The Alpha Male, Animalistic. Chest pumping throwing sticks, stones, and tantrums.
McConnell even gave him a heads up during and after their meeting last week that the Senators needed to know what he was willing to sign.
“That wasn’t really discussed,” White House Director of Legislative Affairs Marc Short told reporters.
So, we can assume that Trump talked about his election victory, Fake news, NFL players STILL taking the knee, but nothing on the actual details of a health care bill or policy was discussed, according to the White House Director of Legislative Affairs.
Did he show the map? That’s what I want to know.
hahahahahahahahahaha I have to say that I fucking love the hell out of what he’s doing to Mitch McConnell. hahahahahaha
Trump actually is doing this one thing I love - torturing Mitch. hahahaha
Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) told reporters, noting that the meeting was cordial and “nobody called anyone an ignorant slut.”
Well, let me fix that for you…“You’re all fucking ignorant sluts!!!” Except, maybe Corker and Flake - but that depends on how they vote and whether they keep speaking the truth.
The stabilization bill, endorsed by a dozen Republicans and every Senate Democrat, would pass by a filibuster-proof supermajority if and when it comes to the floor. But Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) has said he will not allow a vote until President Trump signs off on the legislation.
And that right here is a prime example of everything that’s wrong with Mitch McConnell and this administration. Intentionally refusing to do the people’s business out of pure spite. Mitch is almost single-handedly contributing to his own demise…and I personally look forward to the day when they throw him out as being the Senate Majority Leader. It can’t come soon enough.
