Discussion: Priebus: It's 'Up To The Senate' Now To Improve GOP Bill To Repeal Obamacare

What does that even mean? Did they ask him what he means by “improvements”? I suspect we don’t have the same definition.

“I think we were right to give the Congress an attaboy in the Rose Garden,” Priebus said.

Certainly.

Why, one of my all-time favorite quotes is, The journey of a thousand miles begins with throwing yourself a blowout after the first step.

Apologies to Lao Tzu.

I’m guessing that those “improvements” do not involve making healthcare more affordable for the average American, as they could have done that years ago by simply expanding Medicare to cover everyone.

White House chief of staff Reince Priebus on Sunday said it is up to Senate Republicans to improve the House bill to repeal and replace Obamacare that passed last week.

Actually, Wrenched, the Repubbies in the House have had seven fucking years to write the bill. Motherfuckers should have gotten it right after all those years.

Do all conservative white men go off and get drunk after taking a swing at the ones in their care – and landing such a solid punch?

Everyone gets a trophy.

That Rose Garden orgy of self-congratulation was worse than a Pee-Wee Soccer season wrap-up.

Every GOP drooler, nose-picker, and paste-eater got a Trump shout-out.

They deserved an attaboy?

No. They deserve a time out. 20-to-life sounds about right.

And that’s just the accomplices.

Guess that man’s endorsement of Le Pen carried a lot of weight with French voters.

French state TV vote estimate: Macron 65.1%, Le Pen 34.9%

Just a week ago the White House said it was taking charge of health care because Ryan had fucked up and failed Trump. Fast forward to today and it’s McConnell’s problem.

It’s a schizophrenic regime.

He said Republicans are “committed to getting this thing done and getting it done as soon as possible” and denied that celebrations at the White House last week were premature.

Yeah, it’s clear to me that the Senate isn’t gonna trip over themselves backwards to work on this. After all, they’re pretty much gonna be starting from scratch so whatever the jerkoffs in the House did is pretty much in the hopper. Senators aren’t beholden to the regime as much as House members and those Senators probably aren’t happy about this mess laid at their feet).

It occurred to me that one of the reasons I’ve been seeing more reports of the Rump regime slashing budgets is due to the fact that they want to free up some cash NOW for tax cuts (i.e. the Drug Czar, the VA Dir. considering closing up to 1,000 VA centers, no more funding for HBCU’s etc.

Yeah, but it’s comparable to driving around town, emptying all the take-a-penny jars in hopes of scrounging enough to afford a second house.
