President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

Once again, Fucko's entire political existence is based on the desire to scrub the nation clean of Barack Hussein Obama.

That's it.

The one and only reason health insurance was number one on their hit list was that it was called OBAMACARE. Thus it had to be eradicated as soon as possible.

If Obama's trademark policy had been a trade deal and had been called Obamatrade, that would have topped the hit list. If it was immigration and they called it Obamagration, they'd have gone for that.

It's all about scrubbing the nation clean of mooslim neegro.

 

Lots of post mortem articles out there, but it seems to boil down to Trump's lack of attention to detail, incuriosity, and impatience.

Inside the GOP’s Health Care Debacle

"Forget about the little shit," Trump said, according to multiple sources in the room. "Let's focus on the big picture here."

The group of roughly 30 House conservatives, gathered around a mammoth, oval-shaped conference table in the Cabinet Room of the White House, exchanged disapproving looks. Trump wanted to emphasize the political ramifications of the bill's defeat; specifically, he said, it would derail his first-term agenda and imperil his prospects for reelection in 2020. The lawmakers nodded and said they understood. And yet they were disturbed by his dismissiveness. For many of the members, the "little shit" meant the policy details that could make or break their support for the bill—and have far-reaching implications for their constituents and the country.

"We’re talking about one-fifth of our economy," a member told me afterward."

 

Russian state-owned news site applies for White House press pass

 

He doesn't want to spend five more minutes (or five more seconds) thinking about health care because Ivanka is back in the Lincoln Bedroom in a string bikini and ... SCHWING!!!

 

Apparently oop is the leader of the MALs.

 

Debated whether to put this on the journalism board, but it is clearly politically motivated. Reporter for a campus-owned NPR station gets fired after Tennessee lawmakers take issue with her story on their attempts to pass a bathroom bill.

UTC fires reporter over bathroom bill reporting after local lawmaker complaints

 

Perhaps you should stop posting anal Jiff of your own first if that is your goal.

 

LMAOOOOOOOO at Trumpublicans, who want to eradicate journalism as a profession in the United States, pissing and whining about "journalistic ethics."

Up your ass, Teabag boy. You were speaking to a group of students. A group, not an individual.

No implied offer of confidentiality, in fact no even remotely contrived possibility of such.

What were you gonna tell students, presumably children of your constituents, that you wouldn't tell a reporter? Huh? Huh?

WUTC needs to be stormed over this.

 

Sorry. President Putin fights terrorists.

We create them.

I think this is the fourth time this story has been linked to here.

Why not do what we do WRT the Kremlin? Just make up shit.

 

I present Exhibit A.

 

You are Exhibit A.

 

If you read the fired reporter's attached story (and good on the TFP for providing what the station scrubbed off its website) the Republican representative who did the most complaining actually sounded human and sympathetic to the Gay-Straight Alliance kids. That's what he's afraid will hurt him - the perception that he's not hateful enough to LGBT folks.
