How this quote alone isn't enough to ruin him is mind-boggling to me. He wants Obamacare to fail--the healthcare that protects millions of Americans, that's what he wants to fail. Which would devastate a massive number of American citizens, especially the poor, sick and elderly. He wants people to suffer so he can get his way.

Wow, something Bannon and I agree on.

Ugh, I need a brillo-pad shower.
Well yes, while we also agree that Ryan is a "limp-dick mother####er" we think he's that because he's an Ayn Rand devotee without any form of a backbone who cares only for what lobbyists and wealthy donors tell him to do, with zero concerns for the well-being of his country or constituents.

Steve Bannon called him that because he's upset Paul Ryan isn't a white supremacist or a Nazi apologist.

Much different sides of the same limp-dick coin.

I always assumed Michael Bay had something yuge already in pre-production with lots of explosions, bimbos and lens flare.

Sure he does. He just doesn't give a Fk.

And why should he?

the GOP members of either House don't care.

Faux News doesn't care.

His base doesn't care.

As the election proved, to him at least, he can do whatever the F he wants, and the GOP goosestep right behind them because they are either willfully ignorant (GOP members of congress/senate), partisan propaganda hacks (Faux News) or too dumb to care (his base).

no "Portraits of Courage" in that rogue's gallery

The Republican (un)Holy Trinity... As long as he's got them he doesn't have to change...no reason to...

With respect, the Trump presidency was made for Tommy Wiseau.

How the #### is someone who couldn't discern the nuance of a George W Bush metaphor in charge?

Didn't they have a celebration in the Rose Garden a while ago pretty much to say how great it was???

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump

The Republicans never discuss how good their healthcare bill is, & it will get even better at lunchtime.The Dems scream death as OCare dies!

Assuming the public sentiment continues to grow for single payer and the (rich, centrist) Dem leadership presumably doesn't really want to take up that fight either, i can't see how it gets resolved.


This is what i'm trying to wrap my head around. If the Democrats don't want to take up the fight for single payer and the republicans have convinced their base that universal healthcare is the devil. Who is representing the growing public sentiment?

I am sure 300+ people at Carrier are quite happy regarding your diligence, Donald.

President Trump touted his deal to save jobs at a Carrier plant in Indianapolis last year as a win for the American manufacturing industry.

But that victory didn't even extend to everyone at the factory.

Thursday marks the last day for more than 300 Carrier employees whose jobs have been eliminated in favor of outsourcing to Mexico.
