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

serious question does Spicer get to be the Easter Bunny this year, or will Trump call up Christie and be like "I got a WH position for you"

Οὖτιςkle on the money with "I approve of them all stabbing each other in the back, this is really best-case scenario for the GOP."

So many fun things.

the idea and message is that “we’ll remember you.”...

is there any possibility that the republicans are, essentially, faking the 'no' votes

Oh joy, that takes me back. The "shy tory" angle from the election.

nice NYT homepage headline

BREAKING NEWS Paul Ryan rushed to the White House to tell President Trump he does not have the votes to pass the repeal of Obamacare

in an ambulance?

more like a waahmbulance

great response to the Alex Roarty tweet that Ned posted above:

Alex Roarty Verified account @Alex_Roarty
GOP aide on CapHill: "I'm starting to think that while we're pretty good at winning elections, we're not great at the whole governing thing"

Greg Pinelo Retweeted Alex Roarty
And were it not for gerrymandering, voter suppression and maybe Russian collusion, you wouldn't be good at winning elections either.

big diff between millions of civilian voters and a coupla hundred Congressmen who could lose even by faking a "no" vote for a day.

anything's possible but seems like a sitcom-y approach

Bravo @POTUS @realDonaldTrump and @SpeakerTrump for holding a vote. We should get to know who stood with @NancyPelosi

I'm trying to imagine the positions switched where Trump's running the House, Ryan is president.

lol @ WaPo's "no" whip count continuing to tick up

A little over an hour to go! Allegedly.

politico has a countdown clock!

so does CBSN.

i say this as the only person in the entire world that is watching CBSN

srsly i would consider unplugging for a couple hours if i wuz you...

on an idiocratic note:

Comey now reported to being in th WH. This is sitcom Friends stuff where in the final scene everyone's in the same room. Silent.

oh he gets a vote too?

"It was all a misunderstanding!"

Laughs
Hugs
Cue end tune

Xp

I kinda want all this to come together. Comey announces universal health care, Ryan sent on secret mission to stop Russia with his bro workout routine.

I can see it now, Trump's like "I gotta distract from this health care thing. Think I'll fire Comey, that'll be typical no-one-cares late Friday afternoon stuff."

Ryan getting lost in Siberia... Now there's a nice scene.

I have no idea why Comey would be needed at the WH, apart from Trump is bonkers and indeed, like Ned indicates, he'll need a decoy or is just and idiot.

"so... whadayagot on Ryan?"

*Nelson laugh*

Hearing from multiple GOP sources that leadership is desperate to pull this bill.

maybe they're accepting failure on the AHCA today and moving on to Russia?

"so... whadayagot on Ryan?"

lool i was just typing variation of that

Ah, the wisdom of the ages speaks to us:

Why would you schedule a vote on a bill that is at 17% approval? Have we forgotten everything Reagan taught us?

Why, indeed.

BTW there was also a story that Giuliani was at the White House last night. Trying to imagine what THAT was about.

Haha xxxp

He's working HARD doncha know

https://twitter.com/ReutersZengerle/status/845339070674952193

President Trump @POTUS is not going to Mar-a-Lago this weekend.

I thought Reagan taught them they could be stupid.

(Zach: I watch CBSN because I like the anchor womam and amidst all this they find time to report on maple syrup)

I thought he taught us about the importance of taking naps

xp

this is like an episode of Newhart

So we're all going to wake up next to Suzanne Pleshette?

lol LBI, i was just marveling at this maple syrup story as well. i mean it's worth learning about for sure, but right now?

i'm watching CBSN because i'm using my computer for goofing off on the internet and c-span doesn't have a PS4 app that i can use on my fake tv.

i do feel like everyone who watches CBSN should be forced to justify why they're doing it, possibly as part of the log-in process

BTW there is currently mass confusion as to whether a vote is really happening in half an hour or not. Aside from Spicer's statement, no further confirmation.

I'm watching CBSN because their stream has the best quality tbh. And I kinda like stuff like the maple syrup thrown in between all this. Remixing the news. Ohhhh a panda! :D

Xp

(Agree on every watcher having to justify it, but with maple syrup and pandas that's an easy gig tbh)

much as I want the vote to happen and fail, I don't see it going forward

*changes channel to CBSN*

*CBSN ratings immediately increase by 50%*

That Newt tweet is funnier than I thought because:

Meanwhile, more Flynn fun!

https://www.wsj.com/articles/ex-cia-director-mike-flynn-and-turkish-officials-discussed-removal-of-erdogan-foe-from-u-s-1490380426

watching the debate, enjoying Democrats getting all angry

amazed they haven't leaned on the liberals more. "some disagreement on bills internally is inevitable, but that would have been fine if ALL OF THE TRAITOROUS DEMOCRATS weren't blindly lining up to vote No! they forced our hand!"
