Where’s the ‘fuck you twitter tyrant’
That counts as sh1t b0nerz
What the FUCK does Omarosa even do?
I guess it looks good for Trump to have her attend this, even tough she is nothing more than a sycophantic PR stooge?

This seems like a lose / lose for everybody? Is this part of Bannon’s goal of destroying the entire government?
If the GOP want to change the ACA or AHCA, they should ignore Trump, let him take the hit, work with Dems to figure out something they would support, pass it, then overturn Trump’s veto. When it comes to protecting their political advantage, I have no doubt the GOP will turn on Trump in a heartbeat (though oddly they haven’t done it yet).

Impossible. There can be no bipartisan effort for something as big as this. Both bases wouldn’t allow it to happen.
The problem is that’s what the ACA was - a compromise solution that embraced conservative approaches to providing health care. And they demonized it. There isn’t a way to fix it that’s not either 1) put more money into the existing program or 2) move to an approach that is less in alignment with conservative principles. So… yeah. Good luck getting either of those things through the house.
I need the Discourse LIKE feature turned on so badly right now…in the meantime, have a Luke…
I know it’s the intersection of nerdiness and Trumpian politics, but I’m tickled by #GOPdnd.
What the heck, there’s no way to subscribe to a specific hashtag? You have to do it manually like a peasant? What’s the point of hashtags other than John Oliver-style snark then??
If you use a Twitter client like Hootsuite, you can set up searches that serve that purpose.
Yesterday Trump went to Trump National Golf Course in Virginia. The White House said Trump wasn’t there to play golf - rather he was there to have “meetings.” The press pool reporter kept asking who these “meetings” were with, but got no reply. Then someone posted a picture of Trump at the clubhouse on Instagram … wearing golf shoes. Which the pool reporter instantly picked up on:

Note to Russian spies in DC - the White House can’t even cover up a golf game. Time to lawyer up!
