This whole thing would be so damn entertaining if it wasn’t so serious.
Mango is truly exhausting.
Wow. He waited until after 8 a.m.
Do you remember when we thought that McCain or Romney would have been disastrous for America? How little did we know that this was in our future.
He was with Lust Object all night.
Perhaps we are seeing one of Ivanka’s job responsibilities?
A dream come true for him, I’m certain.
He is broadcasting the attack ads to be used in the Primaries. To cave or not to cave? To listen to Trump, or to listen to Heritage and to the Koch groups? Intrigue - with our nation’s health poised on the cusp.
Uncertain Repeal Vote? There’s nothing uncertain about it. That pig ain’t gonna fly.
Ivanka?
Well well well well well. Isn’t this fun. The House GOP members are now forced to play Russian roulette, so to speak, with a fully loaded revolver pointed at their political prospects for one reason—to gratify Donald Trump’s ego and inability to choose any but the most reckless, macho, self-destructively impulsive option. Well well well well well. Nice going, cats and kitties. Smooth. Impressive.
It’s bizarre to see the “leader of the free world” moving game pieces around knowing nothing about the actual game, just how to move the pieces.
Apparently they ended the day yesterday about a dozen votes short of what they need to pass the House. My guess is they end up with just enough yes votes to pass the House today.
I have no inside information, I just find it hard to believe that Trump and Ryan, with all the power of the Presidency and the Speaker, are unable to flip a dozen or so members of their own party. Especially when everyone knows that if the bill fails, this will be seen by the GOP base as a massive failure on the part of the GOP.
In that context, I think Trump’s “ultimatum” will likely have the desired effect – as long as the Freedom Caucus folks were winning additional concessions by holding out, they had a strong incentive to continue to hold out; now that they have been told “no more goodies, make your choice” I suspect that at least the needed dozen or so will go along with it.
On the other hand, they may figure that Trump is bluffing about this being their “only chance” to repeal Obamacare. Sure, Trump may walk away from the issue if this bill goes down, but perhaps the FC folks are O.K. with that, and figure they might get a better (by their standards) bill later, without Trump’s involvement. They may figure that no matter what he says now, he’d probably sign just about anything with the label “Obamacare repeal” attached to it, whether that reaches his desk next month or next year.
I guess we’ll find out in a few hours.
Donald Trump is questioning the authenticity of someone else’s pro-life stance. LOL
There is a third revolver–this one pointed at us.
Mangolini needs to unwind with a few Mango-tinis.
Preferably prepared by Paul Manafort’s Russian butler.
The real fun part is that Ryan continues to believe that he can control Trump and his Party. Pretty much, they’re not going to impeach Trump because they think that’s going to damage the Party, and the longer this goes on, the more likely this is going to really hurt the GOP in 2018.
Of course he is. But then again, they’re all pro-death anyway…at least once the birth happens.
Oh yeah…that pesky PP providing care for all those women! Screw them, amirite???
