Yep, keep voting on it. Keep “losing”. I can dig it!

Mr. President, the Senate already voted. Maybe you were too busy watching re-runs of a Ms. Teen Russia pageant to know that, but your and the GOP’s healthcare “plan” failed.

You deserve this misery, Mitch. Relish it.

How about Congress thumbing their noses at Trump and Mulvaney (as Trump did to Congress on Friday) and forgetting “Repeal & Replace” and instead work as bipartisan bodies, as the Founders’ envisioned, to FIX the damn law.

I know, I am way too optimistic that most of the Repugs in Congress give a shit about anything on anyone but themselves.

Yertle will discreetly remind Him that the window for BCRA is closed and the ones fof tax reform & debt ceiling are now open. The turtle has his own turf to protect…

“So in the White House’s view, they can’t move on in the Senate,” Mulvaney said.

More of those Article XII powers where the president sets the legislative agenda.

“They need to stay, they need to work, they need to pass something and I think that’s not only the official White House position on this right now, it’s sort of the national attitude towards it.”

Mulvaney earns his stopped clock merit badge. Unfortunately his understanding of the national attitude towards healthcare does not match the national attitude towards healthcare.

“Well, polls indicate that the American people — a plurality of them — support Obamacare,” Tapper replied.

That’s A) and B) is, if it will prevent the rest of the destructive agenda from being advanced, then I’m all for it.

At some point, even if nothing happens, this topic must be put to bed, or in the ground, or torched, or something, but for Pete’s sake, move on already.

The will of the people has already been enacted.

No, it’s a zombie bill now; it will never rest in the ground. Trump’s ego and vindictiveness assure it.

Yeah, I’d like to know what Dullbrainey replied when Tapper said that.

Also, Dullbrainey is as big a liar as Trump is.

Tapper needs to be corrected; it’s not a plurality but a majority of the American people who now e ACA.

So Trump orders the Senate to stay and pass something. The Senate does not work for the President. The Senate and House work for the people and as Tapper pointed out The People want the ACA fixed not repealed. Perhaps Mulvaney should go back and read the Constitution regarding the three branches of government. He is a lawyer and one would think he is acquainted with the Constitution.

Not sure what is going on in the WH but it seems more bat crap crazy than usual.

The captain isn’t on the bridge; like Joseph Hazelwood, the skipper of the ill fated Exxon Valdez, he’s hunkered down, oblivious and unconcerned about who is steering. DT is at a golf course doing fuck all. Meanwhile, the stooges and sycophants are unleashed by 'Smooches to wander around the wasteland of the Sunday shows, blathering whatever they feel like, which will be rendered meaningless by the inevitable random tweets from Donnie Two Scoops. DT attracts grifters and sketchy B movie types. Mulvaney, who, like Steve Bannon, just reinforces all negative Irish stereotypes, and Conway, whose sensibility seems stuck in late 90s tacky Florida condo village. All the plastic surgery in the world can’t hide the fact that appearance screams that she sold whatever remained of her soul a long time ago.

When Donald and Muvaney say American people or public, they only mean rich white Republicans. It’s only what they care about that counts.

Trump seems to be counting on Traitor-Loser McCain not being there for a do-over next week.

Well, that’s how it’s supposed to work.

But Mitch can be a little kowtowing bitch if he wants. I guess we’ll see.

To a serial harasser like DT, “NO” never means “no.”

In private Yertle has commented regarding the White House trying to set the agenda for the Senate that “he doesn’t appreciate coaching from down the street.”

Considering he’s somewhat of a newcomer to Congress, I’m surprised he doesn’t welcome all the help he can get from the 1600 Pennsylvania Brain Trust. Especially if it’s coming from “the only one who can fix it.”

So the guy who wants a medical facility built into his vacation stay insists on repealing healthcare for millions? Got it.

Worst Groundhog Day remake ever. At least Bill Murray’s character eventually learned his lesson.
