Meanwhile in the Whitehouse Tweetie Room…
What is this good cop, bad cop? You’ve got Drudge and Breitbart already throwing Ryan under the bus.
The problem is Spicer’s just so incompetent, it’s hard to tease out what’s really going on.
" But I think we’ve given them every single reason to fulfill every pledge that they’ve made"
Except for one little thing… a decent health care bill.
Meanwhile, while our attentions were elsewhere,
The Senate voted 50-48 to strike down a rule issued late in Barack Obama’s presidency that requires large employers to keep an ongoing record of health and safety incidents. The Obama administration issued the rule in an effort to solidify what it considered long-standing policy at the Occupational Safety and Health Administration.
By doing away with the rule, Republicans are effectively cutting down the length of time that employers in dangerous industries are required to keep injury records ― from five years to just six months. Former OSHA officials say that doesn’t provide enough time to identify recurring problems with particular employers or industries.
They also say the change gives unscrupulous employers little incentive to keep an accurate log of injuries, since it will be more difficult for them to be penalized for not doing so. When employers have a track record of such injuries, it can lead to higher workers’ compensation costs and more government scrutiny.
It is all the plan of republicans to kill Americans faster so that they don’t get to collect social security or Medicare.
NYT breaking: Ryan to WH to tell Trump that he doesn’t have the votes. If true, I’m surprised. I thought the Repugs would pull it off for the sake of unity of dickishness.
It’s baffling that the “Greatest negotiator, ever, Believe Me…” can’t get this done. Makes you wonder what else this Bad Hombre has said that is really just boolsheet. (hint: EVERYTHING)
Republican senators are breathing sighs of relief that they probably aren’t going to have to vote on this thing. Now the Trumpsters are going to try to sweep this effort down the memory hole, while the Rs in the House do all they can to undermine the ACA even further, rather than making any effort to fix it. They would rather see the whole system collapse.
The blame game starts
target: Obama
Assholes.
Hey Donnie,
FAIL! EPIC FAIL!
Clearly Trump doesn’t get the separation of powers concept. Resign? Lol. Throw Trump under the Grayhound and do your job like it’s designed to be done.
I’m sure those Trump truckers yesterday will be cheering at this news as well.
Paul Ryan reads Ayn Rand while Sean Spicer reads Baghdad Bob
Speaking of pledges…where does that nasty little bottomfeeder Grover Norquist stand on this?
Looks like they are going to pull the bill rather than put it up for a vote, but to confound matters, Trump wants a vote.
Vot’s zat nice meester Ryan viz ze sad blue eyes to do?
