"Nanny nanny boo boo," said Trump. "I'm rubber, you're glue."

And now, randomly, Nick Kristof of all people:

Nicholas Kristof: "I’m told there’s a persuasive piece of intelligence on ties between Russia & member of Trump team that isn’t yet public."....“I'm afraid i can't elaborate,” Kristof tells me….

or pitch it somewhere as a "Who Said It...?"

well, I know what the first one would be

Well first of all - if you look at background, you work hard, you make money. It's no secret, okay? You work VERY hard, you make money.

Well I work very hard, 24/7, several days a week, okay?

imagine making the removal of guaranteed coverage for preconditions your big stand in voting for the bill. how fucking evil is that. 'yeah, i'll vote for the bill - but only if you tell me that people with pre-existing conditions won't be guaranteed coverage. why? because freedom. *chews on animal flesh* *chews on human flesh*

Nunes is asked if he got the info he briefed the White House on from the White House. He doesn't dismiss it.

I kinda love the idea that Trump was the source.

maybe intel hyuman centipede is more apt

I would almost rather Trump think he has the votes, Ryan moves forward with the vote, and then it fails than them knowing they don't have them and scrapping it

freedom caucus wants the speakership, can they get it?

They should approach it the same way they've been approaching healthcare for the last seven years, by resubmitting the same bill again and again, unchanged, 50 times, until there is a new president.

Hey, don't worry everyone, the White House just unveiled the secret weapon!

John Bolton just walked into the West Wing -- I asked him what he was doing, he smiled and said 'health care!!!!'

Ned Raggett, Thursday, 23 March 2017 16:45 (seven years ago) link

I assume his pitch is that he wants to bomb every hospital.

I'd love to see them go whole hog and claim Dick Cheney and Tom DeLay are helping with the final push.

Ned Raggett, Thursday, 23 March 2017 16:48 (seven years ago) link

maybe bannon decided to have The Talk with ryan about radical islam and the inevitability of WWIII and he thought ryan wasn't taking it seriously enough

National Organization for Women tweeting that the AHCA now has an added clause that allows states to revoke Medicaid if a women hasn't gotten a job 8 weeks after giving birth

Can't wait to see THAT try and get through the Senate.

Ned Raggett, Thursday, 23 March 2017 16:53 (seven years ago) link

Can't decide which line of snark to take:

1. "John Bolton, I moustache you why you are here."

2. Really hoping this is a mistake and it's actually MICHAEL Bolton.

3. None, because I also feel a strong pull towards Team Tombot re.: Nothing about this shit can be fun or funny because real people are going to die needlessly.

takin care of bismuth (Ye Mad Puffin), Thursday, 23 March 2017 16:54 (seven years ago) link

For all my snark, number 3 remains deeply relevant. I also concluded some time ago, however, that if I didn't settle on black comedy as my default for the current time, I would essentially be a stressed, nervous wreck for the foreseeable future. It's a defensive fallback but a necessary one.

Surely what they need is words of wisdom from John Boehner.

I asked Sen. Roberts if he supports scrapping Essential Health Benefits. "I wouldn't want to lose my mammograms," he snarked. #AHCA

If Boehner and Obama were somewhere on the beach right now sharing beers, I wouldn't be surprised.

Ned Raggett, Thursday, 23 March 2017 17:02 (seven years ago) link

I'd be surprised if Boehner was willing to share

I am pretty certain Boehner is off somewhere still singing "Zip-a-dee Doo Dah"

Rachel Luther Queen (DJP), Thursday, 23 March 2017 17:15 (seven years ago) link

C'mon Alfred, you could totally see this White House nominating him for Surgeon General.

Ned Raggett, Thursday, 23 March 2017 17:16 (seven years ago) link

can I just

"Mr. Bolton, what are you doing here today?"
"Health care!!!!"
"... You're 'doing' health care? What does that mean?"
"HEALTH CARE!!!!"
"Mr. Bolton, put your pants back on!"
"HEALTH! CARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Freedom Caucus members streaming out of WH now. All say no deal made, no "firm" changes agreed to.

Ned Raggett, Thursday, 23 March 2017 17:17 (seven years ago) link

'Moist' and 'soft' changes, however.

Ned Raggett, Thursday, 23 March 2017 17:17 (seven years ago) link

And a one-two:

Some news! Rep. Rowe says they're looking at stripping essential health benefits from individual market only. That's about 6% of total

This idea will have a shelf life of about 45 minutes once the US Chamber gets wind of it.
