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.”

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

.@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.

If Michael FLynn is found dead soon - conspiracy theories will fly

MSM silence on Dontcare:

I can't remember hearing Sessions asked about that firing of the attorneys. Was he?
I'm not sure how much of the thing i missed. I turned it on and it was already underway.

Intensified coalition air strikes have killed at least 300 civilians in the Syrian northern city of Raqqa since March, as U.S.-backed forces close in on the stronghold of Islamic State forces, U.N. war crimes investigators said on Wednesday.

The Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), a group of Kurdish and Arab militias supported by a U.S.-led coalition, began to attack Raqqa a week ago to take it from the jihadists. The SDF, supported by heavy coalition air strikes, have taken territory to the west, east and north of the city.

"Coalition air strikes have intensified around the city," said Paulo Pinheiro, chairman of the U.N. Commission of Inquiry.

"As the operation is gaining pace very rapidly, civilians are caught up in the city under the oppressive rule of ISIL, while facing extreme danger associated with movement due to excessive air strikes," he told reporters.

Karen Abuzayd, an American commissioner on the independent panel, said: "We have documented the deaths caused by the coalition air strikes only and we have about 300 deaths, 200 in one place, in al-Mansoura, one village."

Meanwhile Mo Brooks of Alabama, who relishes going on Chris Hayes' show to boast about the number of undeserving poor people who'll lose their health care, has become a new darling on the right thanks to his service on the baseball diamond and his remarks on the Second Amendment.

The fact that it even needs to be asked after November 2016 isn't a good look, America.

PAPER BALLOTS

isn't digital everything awesome

analog voting really lets you appreciate more of the depth and warmth of democracy

How is it a moot point? As far as I know, no evidence of actual voting machines having been hacked is evident, although some problems at polls and technical failure of voting machines took place

The exploitation of the actual machines is possible, and will always be an ongoing concern because that's how technical systems work. It's a parallel issue with poll workers and election officials acting maliciously

tbh the real "hacking" evident in 2016 was the manipulation of public opinion via misinformation campaigns and voter suppression and those carry more weight in that they're institutional

jesus I need a copy editor

or a paper ballot

better be a pencil with an eraser

SCOOP: Mueller just met with Senate Russia investigators - no comment as he left meeting

why am I seeing reports that calls to Congress re: AHCA have dropped dramatically?

Inclined to blame MSM for not providing adequate coverage, letting McConnell operate in the dark, cuz activist networks still seem to be cranking out the messaging as far as I can tell.

If office phones aren't ringing off the hook constantly, apparently it's fine to go back to fucking things over. The only signal is "no, don't do that" when a phone rings instead of actually listening to and respecting the content of the call and assuming those are real concerns

COunt on the Orange DIctator to order more attacks on the world to draw attention away from his scandals

p sure he's super-happy about this Alexandria attack, no further action necessary for today

I wonder if he assumed there were tapes of Comey's conversations because people had taped him doing his pussy grab speech?

son, in this family we politicize tragedy

Brack, in this family etc

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

Not trying to invalidate y'alls reactions but any time a human shoots another human it represents a societal failure and makes me sad.

some of the sterling nominees for our courts
