Trump, July 2017: Tweet more

Guys there's only so much money in the world to go around and people with gold plated toilets need even more of it.

What else are they supposed to wipe with, won't someone think of the rich people's buttholes.

get to work, peasants :)

We have nothing to lose but our lunch

That Daily Beast story is sort of mindblowing.

patriotic lawmakers should know that they take direction from ALEC, not Moscow

Only Mexico City has the cojones for a Trump/'They Live' billboard https://t.co/gSvrPOl2IM pic.twitter.com/qhkpBvCBz8

A tiny thing but

Interesting: @SenatorBurr says he'll miss the WH lunch today because he's not visiting the WH while his Russia investigation is underway.

Another fun story

http://www.thedailybeast.com/trump-keeps-failing-to-destroy-obamas-legacy-as-aides-assure-trump-all-is-fine

Whether Trump is absorbing how the Obama agenda has persevered is another question entirely. White House aides and the president’s advisers say they try to keep him happy by routinely conveying to him that his administration has been a smashing legislative and political success—despite ample evidence to the contrary.

Multiple Trump administration officials detailed to The Daily Beast how senior staffers have a long-standing practice of assuring Trump of the quantity of his major accomplishments (of which he has barely any legislative and some administrative) and of placating him by flagging positive media coverage, typically from right-wing outlets.

This is, in part, a means to avoid further upsetting a president who is already prone to irrationally taking out his anger and professional frustrations on senior staff and who also has a penchant for yelling at the TV. It’s also one of the reasons President Trump will often boast, on Twitter and in other public fora, of how “no administration has accomplished more in” a comparable amount of time, or how “we’ve signed more bills—and I’m talking about through the legislature—than any president, ever.”

Many of the president’s advisers are well aware of the scoreboard. “I mean, of course we know that,” one White House official told The Daily Beast. “It’s not… tough to see how little movement there’s been [on major agenda items].” And they’ve begun looking for scapegoats for why major chunks of Obama’s legacy remain intact.

Russia aside, it is amazing that you can take tens of thousands of Dollars from Albanian-American lobbyists, rock up and say 'BTW, Macedonia isn't a real country' and still chair the House Subcommittee on Europe.

The Dems scream death as OCare dies!

And honestly that DB story I linked dovetails with this, which I still believe to be the case myself:

https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2017/07/what-congressional-republicans-really-think-about-trump-and-russia/533784/

When I floated this idea to Capitol Hill Republicans, they generally found it preposterous. They were willing to allow for the possibility that some Trump campaign officials might have inappropriately cooperated with Russians, but they said the president and his team were simply too incompetent to pull off a high-level House of Cards-style conspiracy.

ah yes, the incompetent guy, lets all go rally around him!!

i'm sure Apocalyptoxians w/ blood moon concerns are a bigger chunk of CBS News' audience than ever before

i'm not here because my parents had more money than yours but by magic and hard work :)

It just now occurred to me to ask: with the WH leaking like...well, less a sieve than say a bucket with its entire bottom removed...how is it that we haven't yet heard any audio of Trump ranting like a lunatic? Is it just too easy to trace back to the original source?

Wow, that Rohrabacher story. Mueller's going to need a bigger boat.

remember when that audio of some GOP rep leaked awhile ago saying that the only guy that loved Putin more than Trump was Rohrabacher? Dude is a joke among his caucus.

(it was audio of some private conversation w Paul Ryan and I forget who else)

still bummed two scoops settled for tillerson :(

I know everyone's talking like it's dead but I'm still kinda concerned a vote is even scheduled tbh, makes me nervous - it's too much of an obvious opportunity for a "spectacular" turnaround or whatever. Remember what happened in the House...

agreed, not over til it's over

tbf I do scream DEATH several times a day

by "some gop rep" you mean the house majority leader?

Yeah, whoever wrote in the midst of their tweetblast that O-Care repeal is like the Terminator is OTM. Gotta keep on crushing and dismantling and melting down and probably time travelling to make sure this thing stays dead.

KIEV, Ukraine — A month before Donald Trump clinched the Republican nomination, one of his closest allies in Congress — House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy — made a politically explosive assertion in a private conversation on Capitol Hill with his fellow GOP leaders: that Trump could be the beneficiary of payments from Russian President Vladimir Putin.

“There’s two people I think Putin pays: Rohrabacher and Trump,” McCarthy (R-Calif.) said, according to a recording of the June 15, 2016, exchange, which was listened to and verified by The Washington Post. Rep. Dana Rohrabacher is a Californian Republican known in Congress as a fervent defender of Putin and Russia.

Although I think at this point I might welcome the evenhanded rule of Skynet to what we currently have.

I really enjoy the daily beast articles like the one Ned linked above but I'm kind of worried they have just one hilarious source who's gonna get caught one day and shut down the whole operation.

And then

Some worried looks from Trump allies in the State Dinning Room when he just promised healthcare premiums will drop 60-70 percent

— Andrew Beatty (@AndrewBeatty) July 19, 2017

lol healthcare premiums have NEVER dropped ever

What a great lunch!

Trump, sitting next to Heller, "He wants to remain senator, doesn't he?"

“We agreed that there was not much use in criticizing the Senate while they were going through their process and I agree with that. I just find it interesting to note the number of geniuses serving in the United States Senate,” Rep. Mark Amodei (R-NV) told TPM, after a long pause and a deep breath, when asked how he was feeling Tuesday evening. “Politically it all still needs fixing whether the Senate does nothing, whether we walked the plank or whatever.”

"I just find it interesting to note the number of geniuses serving in the United States Senate" sounds like a dril tweet

Pick a plan, guy!

Trump tells Senate GOP they promised to act on health care, and now is the time. Replace, not just repeal, is best path

— Laura Litvan (@LauraLitvan) July 19, 2017

Bad stand-up routine bombing

Trump jokes that some of his Senate Republican friends may not remain friends, depending on how health care goes.

Please laugh.

In the grand scheme, I believe Jeb! has come off as much less pathetic than President Pee-Pants McGinty.

ICYMI, 43 senators (incl 14 Dems) would like to make supporting the international boycott of Israel a felony:

https://theintercept.com/2017/07/19/u-s-lawmakers-seek-to-criminally-outlaw-support-for-boycott-campaign-against-israel/

from AIPAC with love

Perhaps the most shocking aspect is the punishment: anyone guilty of violating its prohibitions will face a minimum civil penalty of $250,000, and a maximum criminal penalty of $1 million and 20 years in prison....

The bill’s co-sponsors include the senior Democrat in Washington, Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, his New York colleague Kirsten Gillibrand, and several of the Senate’s more liberal members, such as Ron Wyden of Oregon, Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut and Maria Cantwell of Washington. Illustrating the bipartisanship that AIPAC typically summons, it also includes several of the most right-wing Senators such as Ted Cruz of Texas, Ben Sasse of Nebraska, and Marco Rubio of Florida.

Fall fall fall fall
