Trump's America, March 2017: Using His Inside VOICE

He was inspired by his study of societal collapse to create a bow-and-arrow-cum-survivalist multi-tool called the Packbow

Goddamn, Paul Ryan, I'm dumb as a rock and I understand how insurance works. You too busy wailing on your pecs to pick up a book once in a while?

does anybody know a place online where you can track the progress of the AHCA? as in what committees it goes to next and when it's up for a full House vote? i can't find anyfuckingthing, which is not terribly surprising giving the clandestine nature of all of this.

This doesn't sound rushed or anything.

I look forward to the updated Schoolhouse Rocks cartoon that explains the perverted means by which the new laws of the land come to fruition.

The White House should install a CoinStar-like machine by the front door - you pour in bags of money, and select the groups you'd like your legislation to directly benefit from a drop-down touch screen menu.

medicare and social security for all, cradle to grave, because why not

wailing on your pecs

Congress is p labyrinthine, I'm not sure anything like this exists but if someone finds one I would be interested as well

Domino's can tell me when my pizza is in the oven vs. getting toppings vs. being driven towards me. You'd think...

CNN reporting Senate Intel Committee members want some Trump aides to testify in their Russia investigation, and will subpoena if they don't

Ignoring subpoenas will be the new "can he do that?"

Fake subpoenas.

Grab 'em by the subpoenas

You're the subpoena!

No problem with the size of my subpoenas, ifyouknowwhatimean

Didn't Rove ignore a subpoena for years?

Can they even do this right

if there's one thing trump and his cohort are known for it's their ability to project an air of lighthearted innocence, i'm sure everything will be fine

okay even if they get all the GOP on board, there's no way the AHCA will pass the Senate, right? I can't imagine any Dems going for it

every Dem Senator is on record as being against it. But the reconciliation process only requires a simple majority, which the GOP has. Not *everything* about the repeal/replace can be dealt with in reconciliation though, which is where Trump's brilliant plan to hold rallies in red states with Dem Senators to threaten them comes into play. I don't think it will work but we'll see.

esp because there are likely to be GOP defections in the Senate over this, and the Dems only need 2 to break McConnell's majority.

not sure how you can prod 10-12k people to show up in support of this POS bill

yeah, the crowds at trump rallies are notoriously picky about policy/program details

Hannity, meantime...

Hannity on radio mocking critics: "'Hannity you’ve become a conspiracy theorist!' No, I’ve become a realist."

Trump supporters calling themselves "realists" is so strange to me. Its like putting someone hellbent on polluting the Earth in charge of the EPA.

Dystopia chic has really got out of hand

to the tune of ''fists up'' by the Blow

"every Dem Senator is on record as being against it. But the reconciliation process only requires a simple majority, which the GOP has.

what can't be passed via reconciliation? isn't that how the ACA was passed in the first place?

reconciliation can only be used to deal specifically with the budget. Non-budgetary related legislation (ie that doesn't have costs directly associated with it) has to go through the normal legislative process.

ACA cleared the Senate w 60 votes.

to be even more specific, reconciliation can only be used when there are two bills (one from the House and one from the Senate) that each have budgetary impacts and thus have to be "reconciled" before they can be considered approved by both chambers, with the final bill only requiring a simple majority vote. This is how Bush's tax cut was passed, among other things.

I am grossly oversimplifying things here btw but that's the short version

I assume Trump plays himself.
