Shit, the House passed a bill that they didn’t want to have become law, either, and now he makes it sound as if they did their part. What self-puffery - or should I say self-fluffery?

“We have so much work still to do, and the House will continue to focus on issues that are important to the American people. At the top of that list is cutting taxes for middle class families and fixing our broken tax code.”

Fucking liar.

Lots of praise and attention going around for Collins, Murkowski and McCain today. And good for them. But we should not let anyone forget that it was the Democrats who won this. Who fought Republican abomination after Republican abomination. Beat Trump. Beat McConnell. Beat Ryan. So sure, Collins, Murkowski and McCain stood up to their party for a night, but it was Democrats who dragged them across the finish line to the fawning press coverage they are getting today. And look, John McCain, more TV cameras for you to get in front of again! Life is good! Also, of course, Thanks Obama.

Pence is in hiding today. He cancelled all public appearances.

We sent them a steaming pile of shit they were supposed to fix and then they wanted to send a steaming pile of shit back at us.
Disappointing indeed

Paul, you might want to consider going back to the job you excelled at, i.e. driving the Oscar Meyer WienerMobile! I’m serious. Seriously.

Pauly you should be thanking your lucky stars that POS didn’t pass. You would have faced the biggest mess you’ve ever imagined if you had passed that thing.

Personally I think the GOP is way too lucky.

We all know both parties rig the US House elections. I have no faith in the House at all. The US senate is a different animal, every state gets two. They call the senate the upper house for obvious reasons.

Guarantee Ryan and McConnell are going to be SCREAMING at each other for weeks

I imagine that suspicions about whether or not you would go to conference or just pass that POS played into the decision making process.

Ryan is more concerned with keeping his speaker role. He is so weak, he couldn’t guarantee a conference to adjust the Bill. Had he guaranteed that he would have been excoriated by the mis-named “Freedom Caucus”. Which should be re-named the “My Way or the Highway” caucus.

Ryan is pretty safe in his district, they could care less. The worst that could happen is he’s knocked off from his role as Speaker and reduced to a warm body filling a seat in the House

You know it’s bad when talking about Russian collusion is a welcome diversion.

What would Ayn do?
