Trump, June 2017: From [Covfefe] with Love

enh i think you were right first time, noodle otm

Scalise is the local rep. The chance of recruiting a Dem opponent for 2018 just fell markedly. Crestfallen.

happy 71st birthday, donnie two-scoops

yeah a good day to get off the interwebs

Charles Orear, 50, a restaurant manager from St. Louis, said in an interview Wednesday that he became friendly with James T. Hodgkinson, whom law enforcement officials identified as the shooter, during their work in Iowa on Sen. Bernie Sanders’s presidential campaign. Orear said Hodgkinson was a passionate progressive and showed no signs of violence or malice toward others.

“You’ve got to be kidding me,” Orear said when told by phone. “I met him on the Bernie trail in Iowa, worked with him in the Quad Cities area.”

Orear described Hodgkinson as a “quiet guy” who was “very mellow, very reserved” when they stayed overnight at a Sanders’s supporter home in Rock Island, Ill., after canvassing for the senator.

“He was this union tradesman, pretty stocky, and we stayed up talking politics,” he said. “He was more on the really progressive side of things.”

The Post reached out to Orear after seeing that he liked one of Hodkinson’s Facebook posts.

JOURNALISM

well that'll knock attorney general perjury right off the headlines too now won't it

how many media outlets were calling it perjury?

what are the chances of us getting out of this story without some dipshit rightwinger writing a hot take mocking this guy's firearm skills and asserting that if they were going on a politically-motivated shooting which involved 50 to 100 shots fired there'd be a) deaths and b) more people would have felt the sting of hot lead

weird development

I feel generally uncomfortable being jocular about this shooting. considering I remember how upset I was at Giffords.

does'nt mean dude isn't probably a humongo turd but not really cool w/ gun violence in general.

not a winning approach

^^^
this is not good

he's not dead, he's got an a+ rank from the nra, nothing about this will likely change is view on gun ownership or gun violence, so he's fair game imo

fair game for what?

it's tragic that we have shootings every fucking day. it doesn't matter what kinds of people the victims are.

if only there was some way elected representatives could yackle the problem of shootings every fucking day

er, tackle

I like "yackle"

yak yak yak

it has a certain pleasing onomatopoeic quality, yes

Trump has told associates that news coverage of the House health care bill was “terrible,” in the words of one associate who has spoken with him.

Trump threw a party in the Rose Garden celebrating the passage of the House bill and has publicly called it “terrific.”

By signing up you agree to receive email newsletters or alerts from POLITICO. You can unsubscribe at any time.
But aides and associates said he has not liked the news coverage and has shown little interest in what is in the bill — but wants it to be received well.

the depth and breadth of his ignorance never ceases to surprise

all that bud light in the rose garden and for what

"The president also said Republicans risk getting savaged in the 2018 midterms if they fail to repeal Obamacare after a seven-year campaign against the law.

But he made clear that the Senate needs to pass a bill that Republicans are able to more easily defend and is not viewed as an attack on Americans from low-income households, as the House bill has been portrayed by critics, the sources said. "

HAHAHAHAH GOOD LUCK WITH THAT

"You must destroy the castle but you must make it look as if you have actually built a wonderful castle."

nice corner you've painted yourselves into there fellas

the best negotiating

.@Judgenap: Why do we have a Second Amendment? It's not to shoot deer. It's to shoot at the government when it becomes tyrannical!

— Senator Rand Paul (@RandPaul) June 23, 2016

^^^why I don't feel sorry for any of these fuckers that get shot. I don't recommend shooting them as an effective tactic or as morally defensible, but I'm not gonna be sad when it happens.

is Rand going to walk that one back or

of course not

Οὖτις, otm. that and the fact that RW punditry & online ghouls have been savaging Giffords for years after her being attacked for deigning to talk about gun violence.

good thing 'tyrannical' is an objective measure, carefully defined in the constitution and easily understood by all americans, otherwise it could be turned into some kind of political football

i'm pretty sure everyone knows that the word tyrannical means "You are tailgating my Ford F-150 and you must pay the ultimate price...".

I don't recommend shooting them as an effective tactic or as morally defensible, but I'm not gonna be sad when it happens.

yup

i think guns are stupid. i have only so many fucks to give for A+ NRA rated republicans

i guess it's like 'live by gun $$$, good chance you might die by actual gun'

lol

don't get me wrong I am losing no sleep and expending no sorrow over Scalise.....I'm just super excited about shootings, period.

huckabee failing to dig himself out of the 'lol bass players r dum' hole yet again

for someone who rails against pot, JBS sure has the memory of a dumbshit. recusal? michael flynn? firing all US attorneys, without notice, on the same day? senate confirmation hearing perjury about russian ties? fuhgeddaboutit

"But aides and associates said he has not liked the news coverage and has shown little interest in what is in the bill — but wants it to be received well"

This sentence will apply to literally every bill that crosses Trump's desk as long as he's President.

What he said about the previous bill was "it's called great health care." No, of course he had no idea what was in it.

He is every worst quality of a used-car huckster writ large.

writ yuge.

If the GOP were smart, they would explicitly tie Trump's name to the healthcare bill (not just giving it a cutesy Trumpcare nickname but actually naming the bill after him). He would initially love it, and the public would then savage him rather than Congress once they realized how thoroughly they'd been powerfucked.
