You're going to see a lot of love. Okay? Thank you. (Dan Peterson), Thursday, 23 March 2017 19:51 (seven years ago) link

I'm sitting here watching that going "man, look at all of those delighted white people" and then the camera zooms waaaaay out and includes Omarosa standing 100 ft in the back and I'm just thinking that if this was a scene in a fictional movie, people would bag on the script and director for being so heavy-handed with the subtext.

I feel like that Trump-in-the-truck footage is gonna be part of the all-time politicians-self-owning clip reel, like Dukakis in the tank or George W Bush saying "Now watch this drive."

"There. Got it out."

from the Time interview

Trump: And then TIME magazine, which treats me horribly, but obviously I sell, I assume this is going to be a cover too, have I set the record? I guess, right? Covers, nobody’s had more covers.

Time: I think Richard Nixon still has you beat. But he was in office for longer, so give yourself time.

Trump: Ok good. I’m sure I’ll win.

The president is wearing a button that says "I ❤️ TRUCKS"

Ned Raggett, Thursday, 23 March 2017 20:04 (seven years ago) link

The hilarious thing is Ryan can't go to Dems for votes on this at all, he's back where Boehner was.

Οὖτις, Thursday, 23 March 2017 20:05 (seven years ago) link

hoisted on his own petard, as it were

Οὖτις, Thursday, 23 March 2017 20:05 (seven years ago) link

i like that the time cover manages to call him a liar without showing his face or his name

never heard of the Tuesday Group ('moderate' Repugs) before today.

Maybe Yam wd resign if he got the Burt Reynolds role in a Smokey & the Bandit reboot

Supercreditor (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 23 March 2017 20:07 (seven years ago) link

Do you think Trump gets a Hess truck every Christmas? I bet that's exciting for him.

Evan, Thursday, 23 March 2017 20:10 (seven years ago) link

I'd assume that "I'm sure I'll win" remark was a kind of self-deprecating joke if it came from anybody else, anybody who wasn't pure self-regard

Οὖτις, Thursday, 23 March 2017 20:14 (seven years ago) link

no need

Rachel Luther Queen (DJP), Thursday, 23 March 2017 20:15 (seven years ago) link

I'm honestly amazed Ryan et al can't even face save right. I'm not saying that I WANT them to, but I would have figured they had some inkling.

Ned Raggett, Thursday, 23 March 2017 20:15 (seven years ago) link

Ryan is such an ideologue that he's probably completely shocked that people aren't falling over themselves in praise of this bill

Evan, Thursday, 23 March 2017 20:18 (seven years ago) link

It's every face. Pity Melania, she has seen it often.

for everyone who was worried about the normalization of a trump white house: yeah, still not normal.

scott seward, Thursday, 23 March 2017 20:27 (seven years ago) link

Can somebody with time photoshop him onto one of those little coin operated cars you'd see outside of supermarkets?

Evan, Thursday, 23 March 2017 20:29 (seven years ago) link

New Yorker already got that covered

Kim Jong-un is a less ridiculous figure tho tbf

House Freedom Caucus members are now streaming into @SpeakerRyan's office...Steve Bannon is also heading toward the Speaker's office, per @deirdrewalshcnn

Slumber party. They'll laugh, they'll cry, they'll pierce each others's ears...

Oh and new CBO report!

New CBO report: less deficit reduction ($150b); uninsured # the same

Whomp whomp.

And...uh...

Pro-AHCA Rep. Tom McClintock just compared the bill to the Titanic, with some weird “safety first” metaphor. Poor choice of words.

Ned Raggett, Thursday, 23 March 2017 21:18 (seven years ago) link

Also fun!

Sources: House leadership threatens to pull bill to preserve #ObamaCare, and then blame House @freedomcaucus for ObamaCare still being law.

Ned Raggett, Thursday, 23 March 2017 21:20 (seven years ago) link

uh wasn't that Ryan's threat all along

Οὖτις, Thursday, 23 March 2017 21:22 (seven years ago) link

what other leverage did he have

Οὖτις, Thursday, 23 March 2017 21:22 (seven years ago) link

he could eat the Caucus

i am also Tombot (Neanderthal), Thursday, 23 March 2017 21:23 (seven years ago) link

If that is Ryan's strategy, hoo boy, considering the Freedom Cock stance is that the new ACA doesn't repeal the old one enough.

Josh in Chicago, Thursday, 23 March 2017 21:24 (seven years ago) link

Presumably said threat is now being spelled out. Not that I think, say, Amash is some great guy but I have a feeling he's laughing loudly in response as I type.
