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

It would be hilarious if Trump got another billionaire buddy to be the easter bunny.

I'd just wait on the kids egging Trump.

xp he's almost surely going to make Ted Cruz do it

Too late

A spokeswoman for Blair said she would not comment on private meetings but insisted there had been no discussions about the former prime minister working for Trump, describing the report in the Mail on Sunday as an “invention”.

She added: “Mr Blair has made no such ‘pitch’ to be the president’s Middle East envoy.

“Neither has he had any discussions about taking such a role or any role working for the new president. He has been working on the peace process for 10 years. He continues to do so. He does so in a private capacity. He will continue to do it in that way. Period.”

"Period" is a nice touch (not that I believe anything anyone says any more).

I also contribute to the peace process in a private capacity btw.

where's the tax returns?

BREAKING: Maggie Smith cast as Tony Blair.

I contribute to peace by smoking weed

Not enough, apparently! Russia is the new battleground state

@davidfrum
The deep state, otherwise known as “uniforms that guard you while you sleep.”

@samfbiddle
I can't wait for people to start wearing CIA hats and sweatshirts from canal street like post-9/11 NYPD

clearly some folks itt need to get out of their bubbles and talk with some real salt of the earth working class russian voters, if the dems are to have any hope next time around.

I don't have an answer to qualmsley's Q, but i'll post this and just wait for Tombot to call Taibbi a buncha names.

@mtaibbi
Ambassadors often visit conventions. Meetings with presidential hopefuls aren't unusual. Not speaking to Russia/Sessions, just generally.

But who is the ambassador...of love?

how unusual is lying to the senate about it tho

has anyone asked before?

lol

the thing people keep focusing on is whether the meeting is inherently appropriate or inappropriate and it's like - "congratulations, that's not what we're discussing". It's that these meetings happened around the same time where Russian meddling in the election was said to have happened and your Attorney General didn't see fit to disclose that. Who knows, maybe they talked about beer and pussy?

It's the constant "OMG, NOTHING TO SEE HERE, WHY ARE YOU LOOKING" that doesn't help matters, whereas Obama/Schumer et al are all like "lol go ahead investigate the FISA claim, knock yourself out"

"White House press release contains full paragraph copied verbatim from Exxon press release."

i was going to say something about how lazy this was but clearly people don't care about the formality of government officials attempting to mask corruption by corporations anymore so, i guess, nothing really to see here

The House plan to destroy Obamacare has been released.

Back ACHA

Thought I suppose it should be AHCA. Ah well.

Anyway, apparently there's two parts?

anti-Muslim Ban demo happening outside the WH now

Health care for everyone! With a side of green beans!

guys there's no question something happened

2/3 of Americans need to get worked up about the emoluments clause, instead!

2/3rds of Americans need to...y'know what, not goin there

close to 2/3 of states are controlled by the GOP/Kochs/ALEC. you say you want a constitutional convention, well, you know, we all want to outlaw abortion

this new healthcare repeal is hilarious. this isn't at all what Republican voters wanted

Tony Blair has long since settled into his 'British actor can't get work at home, has to butter up colonials with bad renditions of his past work' phase.

Blair has managed the impossible of being arguably more hated in the UK than Thatcher - in that everyone hates him, right, centre and left. Not to me though, obviously I hate Thatcher more than Hitler, Mao and Stalin combined.

how long do we think before we have another Pizzagate scenario where a civilian hears fake news and nearly or actually kills someone because of it? I'm not even talking the hate crimes that have escalated under this Presidency, I'm talking phony bullshit news either perpetuated by Trump or his cronies at Breitbart that have caused unstable idiots to do things?

I mean as laughably stupid as this wiretap story is, to people who called Obama's America "police state" and lap up all of this shit, it's like throwing kerosene on a campfire.

I guess this is how late stage capitalism burns itself out. People aren't really down with being treated like slaves or objects to be used and discarded, and trying to be sneaky about it only causes shit like this. Not that the established powers that be really give a fuck about what we're dealing with here, and about to deal with.

We're in for a fun ride here. Trump's the symptom, baby.

we have the "conservatives" in congress planning to cut seven million people out of healthcare. that's not the same as a shootup i know but our government is ruled by phony bullshit and thousands of people will die as a result. it's completely fucking insane, even without factoring in how "christian" all these assholes swear they are

can't wait for the CBO score on this bill

"meet our new health care act, which is designed to.....ensure less people are enrolled".

can't wait for the CBO score on this bill

― waht, I am true black metal worrior (Neanderthal),

can't wait for the White House to claim CBO run by bad, sick people

of course. endless feedback loop until the end of ti-

so many bad, sick people out there. someone should try getting them some health care.

Ah but

House is going to start having committee votes on Obamacare bill on Wednesday that they released to the public at 6 p.m. today. No CBO score

And DJT to provide his full support oh wait

https://twitter.com/JDiamond1/status/838914517430075392

if you give them a week's notice they'll all get sick at once. Bad!

Can someone provide me with a link or something that explains why so many Americans (and so many poor ones) think that affordable care is a bad thing? Because it's completely baffling to outsiders. Is it just big business lobbying/ brainwashing thing similar to the gun rights issue?
