Go with our plan. It's going to be terrific. You're going to be very, very happy," the President said.

Hey look, in the mean time, I guess, I can’t be doing so badly, because I’m president, and you’re not. You know. Say hello to everybody OK?

but i inherited a mess, a $250,000,000 new york city real estate nightmare, then i went bankrupt so many times, american banks refuse to lend to me! so i opened up a casino in DC and hired vladimir putin's #1 american lobbyist to direct my presidential campaign for free #MAGA #crooked hillary

Brexit, I was totally right about that. You were over there I think, when I predicted that, right, the day before. Brussels, I said, Brussels is not Brussels.

GOP rep texts that leadership just canceled a 9am conference meeting and says that "tells me it's panic time."

Plus about eight million new Manafort stories.

I think I'm still having a hard time with the fact that the debate in the house is between those who want to destroy healthcare and those who want to destroy it more. I know it's 101 stuff at this point but still, I feel like that point should be covered more somehow.

These people are psychos:

Moderates said they need to learn more about what the White House proposal would mean for their constituents and providers they represent. Many expressed worry that the leadership would force swing-district members to take a risky vote when the Senate would likely strip out the provision anyway because it may run afoul of the Senate's arcane rules.

And some moderates were especially aghast that leadership couldn’t tell them how many votes this proposal would win them from the House Freedom Caucus.

Congressional Republicans, I expect, fear Trump because has called forth from the woodwork an army of Gamergate-like voters ready to be deployed at the sound of a single tweet. If the bill fails and Trump decides to rant about it generally, or pick specific Republicans to deride as traitors and losers and Dem collaborators, all these clowns are susceptible to being primaried next year by some red-hat lunatic pledging to ''stand by President Trump.'' On the other hand, if they vote for the bill and it screws their constiutents, they could get primaried for that too, or in purple districts, ousted by a Democrat.

As for the Time interview.... my God. There are no impressions or parodies left to be done. And I do not say such things lightly.

WaPo:

“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.”

Trump is well behind any sort of record for Time covers. Trump has been on the cover of Time magazine about a dozen times. Richard Nixon holds the record: 55.

republican lawmakers may be many things, but they're not stupid. or maybe they are, but they're still able somehow to dimly sense that trump has magic orange baby powers. and no one wants to catch the baby eye. better to shuffle one's musty jowls under cover of herd.

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

Ok good. I’m sure I’ll win.

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

here's an excerpt from an interview by Tommy Wiseau, THEY TALK EXACTLY THE SAME WAY

AVC: What do you think he has to gain by fabricating things?

TW: I don’t say he fabricates, but I would say he exaggerates. It’s two different things. I still consider him as my friend, so I’m not bashing him, but by the same token, some of his production is ridiculous. “Tommy say hundred times, or six, eight times, whatever.” I’m a director. My job is to think how I want to present it. If I want to say (lines) eight times or 10 times, a hundred, it’s my choice. I have a certain vision. If you don’t have the vision, you don’t have the story, you can’t be interviewed… And Greg doesn’t have vision, and he doesn’t understand when somebody has the vision. And the jealousy eventually will come out. That’s what is proved by The Neighbors. We have a vision.

So like I said yesterday to someone, is a very difficult job. It’s not easy. But I enjoy it. I studied acting for, what, 10 years, 15 years? So I enjoy it. But I would never write the book… Some fans of The Room encourage me to write the book, it’s called Disaster Artist by Tommy Wiseau. (Laughs.) So you know what? I may even do it, you know? But I would present it based on the facts, so actually you can verify stuff. Okay? It’s not a fantasy, so, next question. What is your question? I give you a little comedy here. (Laughs). You just sat there.

okay, one more

AVC: How have you grown since making The Room? Specifically, how have you learned to manage criticism?

TW: I don’t care, to be honest with you. I just don’t care. I’m very strong in who I am, I’m very happy where I am. And wherever—again, as you know some people go overboard with criticism, but you know what? I would say look in your mirror, and see who you are, and what did you do. What we do, The Room right now is pop culture, as far as I’m concerned, and some of the networks, ABC or CBS, if they don’t see that, I’m sorry for them. You know people don’t like to play football in London, for example, or Australia, whatever. They don’t know our culture. We have such a unique culture. We’ll actually be screening The Neighbors in Australia, New Zealand, and other countries as well.

But you can see very clearly the mainstream media, they don’t see that. They prefer bullshit like Jimmy Kimmel’s show, a redneck asshole, basically, I’m sorry to say that, okay? Because they put Crystal Bell (Kristen Bell) on the program, and she advertised The Room and she’s supposed to be a fan of The Room, this is ridiculous stuff! So for example Blu-ray. Nobody talk about Blu-ray. There’s only one Blu-ray you have in the entire world. Even Sony, now I’m working with them, so we’ll see how we’re doing. But it’s, again, some of the biggest stars were supposed to support The Room, they’re bashing The Room, at the same token, what did you do lately? Did you show your nice legs? She would say, “Oh, I’m a businesswoman.” What type of businesswoman you are? Are you telling me, when you’re born, 6 years old, you knew about acting? How to behave yourself and the quirky smile and the squeaky voice, you think you own the world? I’m sorry, you’re not! You’re not Elizabeth Taylor. You’ll never be her. Because you don’t have range. I’m sorry, sweetie. Okay, and all the actresses are the same, they’re making 20 million dollars, what did you do? I can create actors who give 20 million dollars with the best of the best. Give me media. So again, I speak out very openly so don’t bullshit with me. We have the fans, people enjoy it, so give the credit where it’s due.

Dems officially filibustering.

Josh in Chicago, Thursday, 23 March 2017 14:42 (seven years ago) link

So assuming the nuclear option is invoked, what then? Does that mean the Dems in the senate can just take 4 years off? Since the GOP will longer need any of them for anything? Or does the nuclear option only apply to some votes/procedures and not all?

Josh in Chicago, Thursday, 23 March 2017 14:45 (seven years ago) link

i doubt they have the balls tbh. they know it'll come back to haunt them

illegal economic migration (Tracer Hand), Thursday, 23 March 2017 14:47 (seven years ago) link

xpost, pretty sure the nuclear option only refers to Supreme Court confirmation...wouldn't affect, say, the 60 votes needed to pass non-budgetary changes to the health care law.

Apologizing for doing something shitty and possibly illegal but most of all blatant and illegal is the sort of thing the sweaty guy in the movie says when he shows up somewhere right before a bomb someone is forcing him to carry blows up. [opens shirt to reveal explosives] "I'm sorry ... "

this is both thoroughly unsurprising and depressing:

kinda makes you wish the news media had just said "there's no evidence of this and we're not covering it any further until there is." instead of, y'know, conducting endless interviews and roundtables with talking heads about something that was utter bullshit fantasy.
