This says it all. AM is the portrait of decorum and decency in the face of inappropriate back rubs and branded fragrance “mavens” and a mentally impaired expired Fanta. I wish those assholes so much pain and embarrassment I almost feel bad about it.

Oh, my pleasure! Here’s a bonus round.

I can’t get over how Hannity keeps talking and interrupting as Koppel tries to explain. He’s ruder even as he tries to be gracious.

Remember when we used to say we were embarrassed that George W Bush was our President....?

It seems unusually subtle for Trump to call a TV host and get them to do a hit job on Ryan. We’d normally learn someone was out of favour through that ancient constitutional process of a predawn tweet.

In one timeline, 45 actually becoming president does more to destroy the GOP than if he had lost. Let’s wait and see if we’re in that timeline, shall we?

That’s a dude who could have been excruciatingly happy as a call center manager / gym rat (despite having his own full home gym tyvm!), taking his wife and kids to Wisconsin Dells for vacation, never once even tuning in to national politics.

As soon as the GOP in Congress is convinced that Trump cannot make all their long-cherished wet dreams come true, the proceedings will begin.

Seems like Fox is treading dangerously close to a state run news source to me.

Big manly man Donald Trump is such a macho tough guy that instead of facing Paul Ryan down, he uses a *gasp* woman as a surrogate to tell him to resign via TV.

Right? You think I’m going to be stupid enough to cover for a guy I know doesn’t care about me or have my back? Trump doesn’t care about anybody but Trump if we know nothing else about his evil ass.

They framed the whole thing as an overt attack on the Dems. They sold that more than the content of the bill itself, which Trump seemed to have little, if any, interest in.

They kept chasing votes by going further right, and would lose some of their moderates in the process. It probably never occurred to them to say fuck the freedom caucus and try getting votes by going slightly left.

Hopefully they call out Ryan’s horseshit excuse that they have been the opposition party for the better part of a decade and are learning how to govern. Dude, no. Not controlling the executive branch doesn’t automatically make you the opposition party. It wasn’t Democrats ramming through repeal bills and blocking the…

Absolutely. I mean, this is essentially the same group of fuckers that kneecapped the ACA as we HAVE it. The two years they delayed the rollout gave insurers time to 1) jack up existing premiums and 2) come up with all sorts of shit plans to sell in the ACA marketplace. It’s infuriating.

My money’s on Flynn having already flipped for the FBI, and now they’re all scrambling to get whatever deals they can—if you’re the first to testify to the House it’s probably going to look better than if you were the last.

This is the line of argument abusers use on those they abuse: “Why are you making me do this? It’s your fault I’m hitting you. Why aren’t you doing what I want so I’ll stop hitting you?” How, exactly, is this the fault of the Democrats when the Republicans have allegedly had a plan to repeal and replace Obamacare for…
