American Politics Thread: Orange is the new POTUS (Archive)

I wonder if Trump is tired of winning yet, I mean he has won so much he must be getting bored.

[Senator Clay Davis]

I wish we could embed tweets, but the head turn montage of death

Twitter better be ready for some grade-A temper tantrums.

I can hear Boehner laughing, while filling another glass of wine, and lighting a smoke.

If your insurance doesn't provide the benefits you think should be essential, Trump's administration has an easy solution. Just move to a state that does.

Last I checked people were the same and health care needs are the same regardless of what state they live in.

I'd like to see a case where the federal government advocates pushing things down to the state that isn't just code for cutting/eliminating something.

Your society doesn't - you had a thousand plus people killed in Mass shootings last year. In this partial birth abortion of a bill, there isn't even a caveat for increased mental health funding, the supposed culprit behind all these killings.

America is a funny place. It's very pro freedom if you are white and male. You have the freedom to carry a gun openly in defiance of tyranny. Black people stand up to tyranny, and they need to 'get over it'. It's 'not the right way'. White people get to seize federal buildings in Oregon and hold months long standoffs over issues like 'grazing Cattle on federal Land' - a decidedly less tyrannical scenario than 'police murder my people with startling regularity and lack of remorse'.

The places on this planet that treat women best are the best places to live. That's not a coincidence.

Lets look at the work Planned parenthood does, it does 97% of its work on family planning, on the health of the mother and the unborn child. It decreases the amounts of unwanted pregnancies and abortions by a very significant amount. The 3% that they are involved in with abortions does not come from your taxes.

So, in clear specific terms, explain to me how defunding them is "pro life"

It's not as if Ryan doesn't know he has to watch his back.

Steve Bannon, the chairman of the right-wing news outlet Breitbart who became CEO of Donald Trump’s presidential campaign, gave explicit orders to his staff to destroy Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.). On editorial conference calls, the Breitbart chairman would often say “Paul Ryan is the enemy,” according to a source who worked with Bannon at the news organization.
In December 2015, weeks after Ryan became Speaker, Bannon wrote in an internal Breitbart email obtained by The Hill that the “long game” for his news site was for Ryan to be “gone” by the spring.

At least we know why they wanted to keep Viagra funded.


Impotence ... I'm insinuating that they're all impotent.

It's why he should activate his poison pill and fire Nunes now so the HIC investigation against Trump goes forward.

That Ryan pic is funny because he's using the thumb, like a hitcher. We need it combined with Trump in the truck picking him up from loserville.

The bill has been pulled. Americans will not get their healthcare fixed. Sad.

The what about argument isn't going to change my perspective. They kill hundreds of thousands of un born babies a year.

If Jeffrey Dahmer was a great guy that helped me build a deck and loaned me money and took me for lunch I wouldn't use that as a defense for him also eating people.

But he's such a good guy! He helped me! Its not like I know the people that he killed and ate!

[Senator Clay Davis]

Robert Costa got the call from Trump personally, he's on MSNBC right now if you have it.
