If the moderate Republicans have an ounce of intelligence, they will work with Bernie and save face. Wouldn't the FC be the last ones to support single payer? I was happy to see the tweets about Kipzinger - ala needing to work with Dems and outing the FC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Growing up, my best friend and I never had a single meaningful conversation as far as I can recall, choosing instead to substitute an exchange of Simpsons quotes for actual dialogue.

Oh Lord, Bannon really tried to use Tyrion's gambit from Season 2 of Game of Thrones.

Which is hilarious since Trump seems intent on proving that he's better than Obama. Well he's intent on proving that he's better than everyone, but Obama is his biggest target right now. I think that's the only reason he cares about repealing Obamacare. This goes back to @Jumbo's post...he is completely and utterly ignorant on any sort of healthcare policy and has no real interest in learning it; the only thing he apparently has to say on the matter is that it would still be "better than Obama". He is essentially an 8 year old with severe personality disorders in the most powerful position on the planet. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSSkinz Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 Reading those last tweets, this is not about ripping the Freedom Caucus for not passing a ****ty bill, its about the FC not having a solution and presenting their own option. They want to sit back and have the work done for them while they shove food down their face and take naps. Congress is a joke, most wouldn't make it in today's corporate America, businesses don't wait to resolve a problem because their prosperity depends on problem-solving. These idiots in Congress have no sense of urgency. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He blamed the Dems and praised all republicans. Then he praised Ryan while his aides bashed Ryan at the same time. And now he turns around and blames the FC. This is essentially a circus of incompetence and exactly mirrors his campaign...why anyone would think once he was in office things would be different is beyond me.

mistertim Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 Hahahaha. That's effing hilarious. Now they're basically going with the "well, he's STUPID, what do you expect?" defense? Either way, it isn't the "nuances" he doesn't understand. He doesn't even understand the most basic things. And he doesn't give a **** and doesn't want to know them. That reminds me of when Melania was interviewed during the campaign and basically included Donald in her list of children. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadySkinsFan Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 (edited) But Republicans have been touting the benefits of a businessman as President for decades! What's too bad is that the government can't be run like a business! Government is not a profit generator. So now we have a businessman who actually hates government and who has no flipping idea how government really works. Doesn't even know the basics of government contained in the Constitution.

My bad. I am so confused... I am going by election years. He had one cycle with a majority in both. "Tea Party" rallied against him during that cycle and put GOP in the House. Keep in mind the Dem majority he had (post Bush) was greater than any of the Obama GOP majorities. Which should tell us how fickle we voters are...
