i wonder how this whole healthcare fiasco would have gone down with a different republican as president. Like Cruz.
Definitely wouldn't be tweeting like a madman but Republicans have wanted to do this for 7 years.
And yet they can't. That's the bigger problem. Fine they want to repeal the ACA, I get it. But they don't have a single f'n idea on how to do it. They spent Obama's entire administration bitching and moaning so much you'd think they'd have had their Republican master plan waiting in the wings and instead...crickets. They now are going to tank ACA out of spite not because they have a better idea.
And these are the guys we're hoping will keep Trump in check? They couldn't find their own ass with both hands.

Can't help but theorize that the "mooch" is advising the Orange Goblin to fire Sessions, in order to bring the whole house of cards down, but no, he's not that smart. Conniving, yes, smart, no.
Holy ####. I thought it was a parody because it was in the New Yorker, but these are legitimate quotes. This is insanity.

Seriously, I know that there's an overload of crazy nonsense coming out of the White House and no one has time to read everything that's written about it, but read that article. That might be the single most absurd collection of quotes I've read all year from these clowns. Good lord.

Graham, McCain and Johnson just announced that they wanted to keep the process moving forward, and were asked by leadership to vote for “skinny repeal” in order to go to conference with the House. But Graham also called “skinny repeal” a “disaster” and a “half-assed” approach to health care. Graham said he wouldn’t vote for “skinny repeal” until he received more assurances from the Speaker of the House and his team that the resulting bill actually would go to conference with the House.
They're voting for a bill they don't want to pass (and one of them called a disaster) in the hopes that they'll somehow come up with a bill that can get the number of votes they need (that they haven't yet found among just themselves to say nothing of themselves and the House) later with just the word of Ryan et al that they won't just pass it or pass it if they fail to reach a conference agreement.
I read those quotes from the Mooch and it makes me think of this song:
I don't think I need a rubber room, but that might be nice
I'm not a manic depressive, paranoid or schizophrenic so I don't need your advice
'Cause I'm just crazy (crazy, crazy) just like you
I am crazy (crazy, crazy) just like you
Mooch is playing with fire though. Not for the coke fueled interviews, but Trump doesn't like his subordinates getting more limelight than him. Mooch doesn't seem like the type who can tone it down though. Imagine he gets clipped in like three weeks.

I don't think there has ever been such a dysfunctional White House before. These guys are out of control. Everyone seems to hate each other and I think all the staffers operate under their own agendas.
With the absolute crapshow that this country is right now, between Trump and Twitter and Mooch and maybe wanting to fire Sessions, and then the House/Senate healthcare debacle--I could really go for a good old fashioned whine about Benghazi.
Life was much simpler back then.
