President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

Can't wait to see what he has tomorrow. He loves to bait them.

 

He loves to make stuff up and deceive. And you love to let him because you think it balances some kind of weird karmic debt

 

CNN is reporting there were still a few million that might have been left alive. The delay will give them time to figure out how to snuff out those lives.

 

Megan McArdle raised an interesting point about the CBO's "uninsured" scoring on this thing: Basically, even with all the subsidies, etc., that'll be in this version (assuming it's what becomes law), the CBO's saying that there'll be as many uninsured as there would be if the ACA were simply repealed. That's a tough one to accept.

 

Yeah, keep trying, ya Sandlapper ...

 

Meanwhile, the adults in the administration are trying to clean up Trump's bed-shitting.

Tillerson and Mattis Cleaning Up Kushner’s Middle East Mess

But who cares!?! O'Keefe has a video about which we must not apply the same skeptical eye given to stories by other outlets!!!

 

I thought losing politicians were supposed to STFU and go away.

 

The Times editorial lied about her. She didn't just reappear for no reason.

 

Christ, what a clusterfuck.

"Tillerson’s aides, I was told, were convinced that the true author of Trump’s statement was U.A.E. ambassador Yousef Al Otaiba, a close friend of Trump son-in-law Jared Kushner. “Rex put two-and-two together,” his close associate says, “and concluded that this absolutely vacuous kid was running a second foreign policy out of the White House family quarters. Otaiba weighed in with Jared and Jared weighed in with Trump. What a mess.” The Trump statement was nearly the last straw for Tillerson, this close associate explains: “Rex is just exhausted. He can’t get any of his appointments approved and is running around the world cleaning up after a president whose primary foreign policy adviser is a 31-year-old amateur."”
