Indeed, it was a bonehead decision to focus on health care first and let Paul Ryan run with it. Silver lining is at least Paul Ryan has been thrown under the bus quite nicely, but that was hardly worth the expended political capital. Trump fucked up and the FreedomCaucus saved his ass from passing a bill that only 17% of Americans approved of.Speaker to Animals wrote:He also made the exact same mistake Obama made. Obama decided to let Congress craft the bill from scratch and promised to push for it, expending all his political capital on it. Except telling the House or Senate to craft the bill is synonymous with asking the insurance lobby to write the fucking thing. After Obama blew his wad pushing that travesty through Congress and signing it into law, his entire presidency was crippled. He never really recovered from it.
Now Trump almost did the exact same thing. Blaming the FreedomCaucus for killing it when they actually just saved his presidency and probably the republican control of Congress.

You know, if Trump does nothing during his presidency but piss off the people who piss me off, I'm okay with that.StCapps wrote:Indeed, it was a bonehead decision to focus on health care first and let Paul Ryan run with it.

Re: THE ERA OF TRUMP
Normally this is the part where I say I want eight years of Trump. Then I wonder what the timeline of 2020 not Trump looks like. Can't help but feel excited for all the craziness. If it weren't so sad at least.

Judge Tony Trenga from the Fourth Circuit (Eastern District of Virginia) issues an order denying
https://www.bloomberg.com/politics/arti ... -it-remaina request to block Trump’s March 6 executive order, saying he’s not going to psychoanalyze the president for his motives in drafting the travel ban. That put Trenga at odds with other federal judges who have ruled the president’s past comments can be taken into account in determining whether he intended to discriminate against Muslims.
...
The Virginia case was brought by Linda Sarsour, a well-known Muslim activist from Brooklyn, New York, and national co-chair of the Women’s March on Washington that took place the day after Trump’s inauguration. The suit was the first that sought to use Trump’s recent public remarks against him in court, in addition to his comments about Muslims during the campaign.
The Justice Department cited the ruling Friday in a filing in Honolulu federal court, where a judge is set next week to consider whether his temporary ban should be made more permanent. The government claims Judge Trenga’s decision is evidence that the revised order succeeded in eliminating implications of religious discrimination.

Alex, how dare you become an apologist and say it wasn't true!
See Conspiracy Theorist Alex Jones Apologizes For Promoting 'Pizzagate'Longtime conspiracy theorist and propagator Alex Jones has apologized to the Washington, D.C. pizzeria Comet Ping Pong and its owner James Alefantis for his show's role in promoting the false "pizzagate" conspiracy theory involving a child sex-abuse ring.
Jones, the host of the radio and web show bearing his name and the owner of the website Infowars, said from a prepared statement that to his knowledge, "neither Mr. Alefantis, nor his restaurant Comet Ping Pong, were involved in any human trafficking as was part of the theories about Pizzagate that were being written about in many media outlets and which we commented upon."
He continued: "I want our viewers and listeners to know that we regret any negative impact our commentaries may have had on Mr. Alefantis, Comet Ping Pong, or its employees. We apologize to the extent our commentaries could be construed as negative statements about Mr. Alefantis or Comet Ping Pong, and we hope that anyone else involved in commenting on Pizzagate will do the same thing."
Or wait a minute.... have the Illuminati gotten to Alex ? ? ?

When someone has zero credibility, can you even believe their apologies?
