This is easy to fix. Republicans will just claim these cuts arenā€™t cuts at all! Nothing to see here. Move alongā€¦

Iā€™m just loving the poster-board blow-up of a tweet as the chosen A.V. method. That just cracks me up. A meeting of worlds.

Sadly, youā€™re right. Paul Ryan recently told an audience that the Republican policies (i.e. cuts) were going to be pushed in order to SAVE Medicare. No one in the audience or from the media questioned him on this.

Itā€™s cute that he thinks Trump cares about whether we can demonstrably prove heā€™s a hypocrite and con-man.

However, I do hope foam core boards bearing blow-ups of Derpy-Dā€™s Twitter tantrums becomes a thing on the House and Senate floors.

As the old saying goes, if someone in DC starts talking about ā€œreformā€ (i.e., ā€œwe donā€™t want to abolish Medicare, we want to ā€˜reformā€™ itā€) - watch your wallet.

Donald Trump admit that he was lying? Thatā€™s cute, Senatorā€¦

I was just thinking about how the simplicity of these tweets may end up being a double-edged sword for the Trumpster, especially when they are sitting there as the backdrop for a speech reminding the public of what he had promised.

Hey,I havenā€™t had a good thing to say about Bernie since the day off that tweet in 2015, but this was well done.

Elegantly simple and makes a very important point. Do more of this, Senator.

Indeed. He canā€™t fucking control himself. Dems should be messaging in front of cameras with his diametrically opposite tweets behind them on boards on each side at all times. They should be spending all their time arranging their press conferences and what not so that the presentation FORCES the failed MSM to be COMPLETELY INCAPABLE of behaving and reporting in a credulous manner that lends him any credibility whatsoever.

Ryan will add that to his list of activities that warrant fines to ā€œhelp ensure that order and decorum are preserved in the House of Representatives so lawmakers can do the peopleā€™s work.ā€

Yes, with other actual democrats.

Edit: Sanders is useful.
