unless trump goes after poker, dish is riding this to the grave.

Who would have thought that healthcare is so complicated?
Trump has had a lot of bad days and bankruptcies and divorces in his life. This shit stings, but he doesn't really gaf, and he's still a billionaire at the end of the day.
But Paul Ryan, holy shit. You were the supposed policy wonk for the GOP and this is the best you can come up with? Really? That piece of shit bill?
The Trumpsters hate him. The left has always hated him. The moderates are ambivalent about him. Talk about a loss of stature. I truthfully wonder where he's spending the night. Feels like it's a night where if he stays in DC he'll get blackout drunk and wake up in a pool of blood with a dead hooker next to him and need to call his Doug Stamper-style assistant to get rid of the body.
You go home to Wisconsin with the family and your wife might have to convince you to go back to work. You start arguing that you could be the mayor of Janesville forever and pick up a ton of freelance lobbying work. Just fetal position beatdown.
don't forget I said "i care about healthcare slightly more than I do pipelines" cpl wks ago, so this is really irrelevant to me. I'm sure something else will get done and the problem will get taken care of eventually. Trump doesn't like to lose so he will come back with a bill that will F U IN THE ASS

http://www.politico.com/story/2017/0...failure-236485Lawmakers closely aligned with the president are worried about the broader political consequences of failure to repeal the 2010 health law.
“If this goes down, we don’t get tax reform, we don’t get infrastructure,” said Chris Collins (R-N.Y.), the first lawmaker to back Trump’s campaign. “We may lose the Senate. We may lose the House.”
http://www.theblaze.com/news/2017/03...ps-presidency/Charles Krauthammer explained that the newly announced Obamacare replacement legislation might lead to the destruction of the Trump presidency unless conservative Republicans fell “on the their swords” and accepted the entitlements involved. He made the comments Monday on “Special Report” on Fox News.
“In the end the Republicans are gonna have to essentially, the conservatives, the ones who are more conservative, are gonna have to fall on their swords,” Krauthammer explained. “This is the signature event for the new administration. If they were to, in the end, eliminate the entitlement and put it down, I think it would destroy the presidency.
honestly i dont think this is going to be anything substantial for trump or the republicans.
if their constituents were so country simple that they looked beyond the obvious and outright scamtardery that constituted trumps 'platform' then trump could simply insist pelosi is a centipede from space and guarantee another 4 years come 2020.

one thing i wonder is whether the republicans will just outright get rid of the filibuster entirely and just pass anything they want to, which they could do with only 50 votes. harry reid started that process when he removed the filibuster for cabinet confirmations.
our government is so broken that the idea of working across party lines is just absurd. if they don't get rid of it, we may never see any significant laws passed, like ever. it'll get abolished at some point, the only question is when
Maybe Hillary was worried about being charged if Cruz or Rubio won so Bill Clinton calls his old pal Donald Trump to run, there was a call between them. Maybe Hillary's getting paid by the Russians or/and banks to put Trump in office. The Clinton campaign did indeed instruct the MSM to promote Trump hard. Didn't Hillary give the Russians 90% of our Uranium.
I don't know but they're both off the charts corrupt, owned by Israel, the MIC, Wall Street and both Bill and Trump hung were tight w Epstein. Dude, she really might be a trojan horse.
Clinton intentionally throwing the election would explain alot of weird things.
Reich is absolutely sure Ryan snookered Trump.
Breitbart just released audio of Ryan shitting on Trump.
The bill is laughably insane.
Now Rush
Paul Ryan's fucking Trump, Trump ran as Bernie light. Ryan keeps steering things to the extreme right which nobody likes.
Here's what Trump needs to do if he wants to salvage his presidency. Replace Bannon w/ Bernie, fire Sessions and quit lying geeezuz.
Sonatine, maybe both but Hillary's still a bought and paid for corrupt Republican.

Paul Ryan is, was, and always will be a gigantic faggot. He's days are numbered as speaker.

The Republican Party has spent 2,556 days telling us that Obamacare is the worst piece of legislation ever. They had that entire time to come up with something that is clearly better. When given the opportunity to do it, they completely and utterly failed. Their best effort was supported by 17% of Americans.
“We have to do some soul-searching internally to determine whether or not we are even capable of functioning as a governing body. If ‘no’ is your goal, it’s the easiest goal in the world to reach.”
-Rep. Kevin Cramer (R-ND) today
“You've all heard my speeches. I never said ‘repeal it and replace it within 64 days.’ I have a long time.”
-Donald Trump on Friday

We will immediately repeal and replace ObamaCare - and nobody can do that like me. We will save $'s and have much better healthcare!

...and here's all the other times he promised that Obamacare would be repealed immediately, including mentions of his first day as President.

Kochs Bankroll Move to Rewrite the Constitution

http://www.alternet.org/news-amp-pol...d-coup-rewriteA constitutional convention, something thought impossible not long ago, is looking increasingly likely. Under Article V of the U.S. Constitution, if 34 state legislatures "issue a call" for a constitutional convention, Congress must convene one. By some counts, the right-wing only needs six more states. Once called, delegates can propose and vote on changes and new amendments to the U.S. Constitution, which, if approved, are currently required to be ratified by 38 states.
This is the type of shit they'd pass. It's not your imagination the GOP's really trying to destroy the federal govt.All eyes are fixed on Capitol Hill as Republicans attempt to pass an American Health Care Bill that's still being revised as of this writing. The recklessness of the party's leadership can't be overstated—14 million Americans' insurance and countless essential health benefits hang in the balance—and yet a meeting scheduled next week in the Wisconsin legislature may possess even more terrifying ramifications for the future of the country.
According to Wisconsin.gov, Republican lawmakers will hold a public hearing on Tuesday, March 28, to determine whether Wisconsin will call for a constitutional convention. While a subject of legal debate, changes to America's governing document can be made in one of three ways: Three-quarters of the states can ratify an amendment that Congress has passed with supermajorities in both houses; three-quarters of the states, with majority votes in each, can bypass Congress by invoking Article 5 to approve an amendment; or two thirds of the states can simply use Article 5 to call a "Convention of the States" and rewrite the document as they see fit (three-quarters of the states would then need to approve their changes).
Imagine that the Constitution makes it illegal for the federal government to protect you from big polluters, big banks and even big food and pharma—all are free to rip you off or poison you all they want, and your only remedy is in state courts and legislatures, because the Constitution prevents Congress from doing anything about any of it. The federal government can't even enforce voting or civil rights laws.
To add injury to insult, the federal government has to shut down Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, because all of these programs (along with food stamps, housing supports and any programs that help the middle class, the less fortunate or disabled) are “beyond the reach” of what the federal government can do.The Alternet link is worth a readf passed, Wisconsin would become the 29th state to call for a constitutional convention; just 34 are needed for it to become a reality. The 2016 elections have left Republicans in control of 33 state legislatures
