Trump, June 2017: From [Covfefe] with Love

hahaha a ups store

lol I just read Avik Roy's piece defending the healthcare bill over lunch.

congrats on keeping it down then

I think I heard Avik Roy as the "pro" side on some NPR show yesterday and man, what a blind to reality fanatic. There was a woman who called in from Texas who has three kids, two on her healthcare plan (along with her and her husband) and a third on Medicaid. The child on medicaid was born with a genetic health problem and could not get insured, so they'd been paying out of pocket while she was on a waiting list for 13 years (!). Finally, with the ACA she at last got her child fully covered and absolutely loved Medicaid - its accessibly, its coverage, everything, which had all been truly life-changing. Meanwhile, as she pointed out, her premiums had been rising and coverage had been increasingly limited with her conventional health insurance, as different companies came and went. Roy, iirc, pretended to be sympathetic, but assured her that once the ACA was repealed and replaced rates would drop down and she'd had have better coverage than ever. The woman wasn't, if you pardon the phrase, buying it, and pushed back that her experience with Medicaid as opposed vs. for-profit just emphasized to her the need for single payer.

Big: Senate Republicans won't vote on the health care bill this week at all, a Senate GOP source tells @TheIJR

Nudes?

several years ago Avik Roy came off as one of the smarter conservatives; turns out he was a con. Chris Hayes ripped him to shreds live the other day.

you guys want to go in together on a boat?

McConnell delaying health care vote until after July 4th recess. GOP senators invited to White House this afternoon to circle the wagons.

If you're smart, you choose to run your con by posing as a conservative, because even if you're exposed as a fraud and a con-man, you'll still get all the business you can handle, because the people paying you will take it as a credential, not a disqualification.

I bet Trump has one of those sepia toned pictures of himself in wild west garb hanging somewhere.

Reminded of 1984 and the Red Queen in Alice Through the Looking Glass.
What defines real in Trump World.
Possibly also that quote about telling a lie 1000 times that gets attributed to Hitler.

I feel like the fake civil war RIVER OF BLOOD plaque at mar a lago is worse than this...

News: McConnell called Reince last Saturday, told him attacks on Heller are "beyond stupid"

I made the mistake of wondering what bullet necklace wearing idiot Katrina Pierson is doing these days - she works for the PAC going after Heller.

Oh my god.

Amazing: Appears that the barcode on @realDonaldTrump's phony Time cover is actually barcode for software that lets you be a karaoke DJ. https://t.co/xEeLq6soaZ

I'm starting to wonder if Trump isn't literally a hastily-assembled pile of garbage wrapped in a suit. Some kinda shitty Russian android built out of old dummy parts and table scraps and karaoke DJ software.

Senator Susan Collins (R-ME) on President Trump: "It has been a challenge for him to learn how to interact with Congress."

Vestvorld xp

"It has been a challenge for him to learn how to interact with Congress."

The Republicans aren't sending their best people.

Fun times in the press room.

Reporter asks Perry about his old comment calling Trump "a cancer on conservatism"

Perry: That has nothing to do with energy!

— David Mack (@davidmackau) June 27, 2017

How many times are reporters going to say PENCE IS IN CHARGE WATCH OUT NOW

I've seen that goddamn story and the JARED KUSHNER WILL RETURN AS THE LIVING MESSIAH TO JERUSALEM about 18,000 times since December

Couldn't we martyr him before he becomes a living saint, like?

The Associated Press reports: Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell says he is delaying a vote on a Senate health care bill while GOP leadership works toward getting enough votes. He says they are “still working toward getting at least 50 people in a comfortable place.”

McConnell said health care is “a big complicated subject,” and complicated bills are “hard to pull together and hard to pass.” He told reporters on Tuesday that he was very optimistic.

needs to get 50 ppl to their happy place

adult diapers on the way

Apropos of nothing but I keep reading 'pay grade' as 'gay parade'

He told reporters on Tuesday that he was very optimistic.

I'd be too. McConnell doesn't lose this sort of thing.

Just everybody else does.

The forces of light need to keep screaming like a mother over the holiday to make the yes votes radioactive.

the bar code on that fake time cover is for karaoke dj software.

Cruz
Lee
Paul
Collins
Murkowski
Heller

^ 7 of those 9 will have to be won over without any other senators backing out

— Allan Smith (@akarl_smith) June 27, 2017

Watch her facial expression go from slightly bemused to butthurt (right about the time the reporter uses the word "inflammatory.") xp

She is "Can I speak to your manager?" given human form and the power of speech.

Why he's fully all in!
