It’s not a mole, Muck, it’s the baboon in the Oval Trailer…

The GOP desire to fuck people over is on par with the human instinct to procreate.

If Trump has one unassailable talent, its that he attracts and promotes the most horrible people. This piece of human filth is a prime example.

Mulvaney, in the Examiner interview, said that the CBO’s assumptions about Medicaid cuts were “just absurd,” while suggesting a bias in favor of Affordable Care Act’s individual mandate, which the GOP bill would eliminate.

Says the guy whe assumes an absurd 3% growth year over year ad infinitum in his budget.

Says the guy who makes trillion dollar rounding errors.

Doesnt Santa teach math to mean elves?

I wish Democrats were really capable of doing even half the things Republicans accuse them of, but Dems usually bend over backward to do the “right thing”.

Prime example: PBO. As much as I admire him, I wish he’d pushed back earlier and more forcefully.

It’s math, Mick. If you have “alternative math” that you’d like reviewed, provide it. Math, like fact, is either right or wrong, a science if you will.

So put up or shut up, you steaming pile of covfefe.

Critics might say we’re dehumanizing the opposition. I’m quite sure that’s an offense that can’t be visited upon them.

has the day of the CBO come and gone?”

Easy answer: Not only “No” but “HELL NO!” What kind of idiot would propose policy without information on the consequences? Oh yeah… that kind…

These people never ever seem to consider that the problem lies with their own incompetence and perfidy. The Trump white house has answered a question that I have posed to myself for a long time: "Is hubris a trait limited to intelligent people who lose track of their place in the world of events and being or can very deeply stupid people exhibit hubris?’ The question has been answered in the affirmative.

Classic logical fallacy. He can’t argue with the analysis so he attacks the person who contributed to it. Clumsy and obvious.

Edited to add that I wish every reporter out there had to take a class on logical fallacies and would actually call such things out. Our political discourse would improve overnight.

And while I’m at it, I wish I had a unicorn…

I suppose republicans are dumb enough to believe that one person did all the work to score their piece of crap proposal, and the numbers are bad because of that one person.

The numbers are bad because the proposal sucks.

The CBO director, Keith Hall, who signed off on the CBO score of the GOP health bill, was the chief economist for the Council of Economic Advisers in the George W. Bush White House and was handpicked by then House Budget Committee Chair Tom Price (who is now Trump’s HHS secretary) to lead the CBO.

Just sayin’…

Somebody needs to engrave that on a baseball bat…and smack this ugly SOB across the face with a few dozen times so he gets it. And then engrave it on his pointy little forehead.

“Dem Mole Behind CBO O’Care Repeal Score.”

And there’s no Trump - Russia treason because, “Democrats are just mad that Hillary lost.”

Repug traitors all sing from the same hymnal hoping their dupes will eventually accept such unprovable, self-serving myths as fact.
