Oh but they won’t impeach him over Russia! It’ll be a business thing. Conflict of interest or gross incompetence or something. Unless the FBI et al produces incontrovertible evidence they won’t do anything to risk Pence.
Why would any Republican at this point throw their support behind a guy who has a 37% approval rating and is actively being investigated by the FBI?
Trump’s leverage over congress is interesting to me. He is known for demanding loyalty but shows no loyalty in return. He routinely fucks over his “friends”. The cabinet sounds like they are treated as untrustworthy figureheads. And campaign allies? Chris Christie is an excellent example of what awaits someone stupid…
Precisely. Among many, many other things.
They were making changes to the bill at least as recently as last night, and he’s trying to force a vote on it tomorrow? Why the fuck are they rushing this?! Of all the things to do patiently and carefully, you’d think major healthcare reform would be at the top of the list.
Except they aren’t because the main holdup is it isn’t vile and grasping enough. They will polish this piece of shit for weeks while Dump tantrums and the investigation into Russian agents quietly churns away...
Because the day he refuses to sign a bill they send him is they day they begin impeachment hearings.
This is pretty much what everyone else saying, but I do not understand how in the fuck anyone in the media can speak of Trump’s “political capital.” He fucking has none, and isn’t going to ever have any. What the fuck sort of incentive does anyone else have, seriously, in voting the way he wants them to, considering…
Yep. The repubs have been playing the underdog for so long that they have no idea what to do now that theyve actually won. They have no one to point the finger at anymore.
I can’t help but lmao at this stupid fucking negotiation tactic
This is Trump’s attempt to sink Paul Ryan. You have the likes of Breitbart already nicknaming this healthcare act “Ryancare”. Never mind that Trump backed it up “100%” and he said he helped create it. Trump and his partners in crime are trying to shove this all on Ryan. They know how unpopular it is. So, if the act…
I heard a really eloquent Dr speak on why this is so, so bad for the country on NPR today. it was very matter of fact but the way she put it brought me to tears. I just want people to admit that they want poor people to die. like, just fucking own up to it is better than pussyfooting around acting like this is…
And because they all want to fuck over the only black president, they’ll probably find some way, some how to pass it in the end just so it won’t be his legacy even though the ACA was too much of a Republican compromise as it is.
This couldn’t possibly get any better. Republicans are now eyeing the polls and looking at *45 throwing a tantrum and I’d bet cash money a significant portion of them are seriously considering calling his bluff. Because they all know as well as we do that a bluff is all this is.
This whole thing cracks me up. As soon as the GOP realized they now had power, they knew they were fucked. They knew they had to craft a plan after spending eight years promising that they would, they knew that it would be incredibly unpopular, they knew the ACA was enjoying record approval ratings, they knew all of…
Trump to House Republicans: “Stop trying to hurt Americans more than I want to hurt Americans, or your punishment will be to help Americans.”
A few pundits had speculated that the divisions within the Republican party would actually flare up if they managed to get a Republican into the White House, and that would be more damaging to them in the long run than if they lost the 2016 election.
If anyone out there has a Republican congressperson, please keep their phone ringing and email janmmed all night tonight for a NO vote.
