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

Well, yeah. Does it make a moral difference if one president says he gives a fuck if civilians are killed and the other doesn't?

Meanwhile, just for Alfred: Peggy Noonan, she is earnest!

Thanks - I was about to have lunch!

death hurts less

arguably Yam at his most "presidential"

xp

I'm starting to think that some malformed "compromise" (but still terrible) version of AHCA/ACA repeal is going to pass tbh. It will please no one and doom the GOP's mid-term prospects, but the desperation to show any kind of accomplishment seems likely to override any principled stands (or, at least, enough of them). Not expecting anything to come up to a floor vote and fail, neither McConnell nor Ryan will expose themselves to that kind of humiliation. Currently seems like best hope to block it is for it to get delayed in the Senate long enough - ie, until after the spring recess, during which Senators will get pummeled by the public/town halls/etc. - and that might doom it. idk.

current AHCA= HEAD FAKE!!! trial balloon!!!

Govs. Kasich, Snyder, Sandoval and Hutchinson (all GOP) just formally rubbished AHCA via a statement to McConnell/Ryan

Has there ever been a time when the stance of the federal government was so overtly (OVERTLY, I said) 'fuck most of you'?

Probably Reagan.

Is this a new thing, pushing to pass a piece of shit bill with the understanding it will be fixed after it passes?

As for whatever Trump is claiming:

The House Freedom Caucus still opposes the GOP replacement bill in its current form.

Dems did it in 2010!

sort of (LBJ's first civil rights bill springs to mind) - but what they're doing here is p unique since no one's ever successfully rescinded an entitlement program, and using reconciliation to enable them to do it in stages is a novel approach, to say the least.

so afaik no one posted about the EPA-Monsanto revelations?

http://www.esquire.com/news-politics/politics/news/a53906/monsanto-glyphosphate-roundup-epa/

news to me but not surprised

See, Crooked EPA is in bed with companies. Sad! That's why we must dissolve this agency immediately to #MAGA.

The White House included that Washington Post column in their daily email of press clips. So either they didn't read past the headline, or someone in the Press Office is trying to send a message...

SIT UP STRAIGHT YOU FUCKING MAN BABY

low energy Secret Service almost put me at risk! Sad!

You want low energy?

Secretary of State Rex Tillerson cut short his recent visit with South Korean officials due to "fatigue," the Korea Herald reported on Friday.

he probably had to fly the plane to korea himself

Probably not used to flying in someone else's plane.

happy st. patrick's day!

i cannot (be held accountable when i) tell a lie (because americans are suckers who let you get away with more and more the more money your parents have, and if you ever call me on my "dishonesty", i'll say you just don't understand "business", "negotiation", and "the real world", you jealous loser)

AHCA House floor vote scheduled for next Thursday

Well, this is exciting...

..@CBSnews has learned #Secret Service agent's laptop stolen in #NY has #national security information about #Trump.

https://twitter.com/kenvogel/status/842790114635997184
Source tells me that protective perimeter pins & other @SecretService communication equipment also was stolen, and that USSS is FREAKING.

Oh, well:

http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/secret-service-laptop-trump-tower-floor-plans-details/story?id=46204467

A laptop computer containing floor plans for Trump Tower, details on the criminal investigation of Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server and other national security information was stolen from a Secret Service agent's vehicle in New York City on Thursday, law enforcement sources tell ABC News.

Authorities are still searching for the laptop. Police expect to quickly identify the suspect from video evidence, the sources said.

The computer is encrypted and authorities are able to wipe the hard drive remotely if needed.

wtf "criminal investigation of Hillary Clinton's" ? why does the secret service have this?

Clearly a staged incident by John Barron

wayne tracker is on the case!

the introduction of wayne tracker to the political scene has genuinely been a kind of bright spot within this hellscape, the name "wayne tracker". it makes me laugh every time

What Trump Might Do When He Realizes He's Losing

Wayne Tracker, trackin' Waynes in your direction

Wayne Tracker
Come and play with my affection

Come on, kiss the Trump

Wayne Tracker
The forces against you, the rain
I know everybody wants to put you down

Heh https://twitter.com/chrisgeidner/status/842807224158343168

anyone know why there are so many douchebag wisconsin "conservative" politicians -- sean duffy, paul ryan, scott walker, reince priebus? does it have anything to do with frank lloyd 'the fountainhead' wright growing up near madison?

stately wayne tracker

lol Sparkle Motion i was about to make that exact post

Health care seems to be dead in the Senate, as two Republicans have already said they won't vote for it - Collins and Heller (R-NV) - and Tom Cotton's probably a No, too.

it's because Wisconsin sucks

signed, MN for Life

oh god, Reince is from here too?

"Wayne Tracker" sounds a lot to me like "Jack Decker"

Apparently a German reporter at the Trump/Merkel press conference stood up and asked Trump, "Why do you keep saying things you know are not true?" and all the American reporters present shit themselves.

ha

ha that video of Trump ignoring Merkeel asking to shake his hand

He must not want that to show up in an ad or something

Jack Decker is a way better parody of the Trump mindset, temperament and intelligence than any of the actual Trump impersonations out there.

is it true that Tim Heidecker said he based the character off Trump from the beginning, because if so, wow

apologies if i sound ageist, but has there ever been a president as lazy as comrade combover?

or corrupt?
