Well, we knew they weren't moderate, but this is certainly funny.

Yeah, if they didn't care about reality last election, they won't the next.

I inherited a mess, I inherited a mess in so many ways. I inherited a mess in the Middle East, and a mess with North Korea, I inherited a mess with jobs, despite the statistics, you know, my statistics are even better, but they are not the real statistics because you have millions of people that can't get a job, OK. And I inherited a mess on trade. I mean we have many, you can go up and down the ladder. But that's the story. Hey look, in the mean time, I guess, I can't be doing so badly, because I'm president, and you're not. You know.

So the word from Mount Cheeto is now that if the AHCA isn't passed tomorrow he will veto all further repeal bills and the admin will move to other priorities with the ACA in place.

[Tobias]

Trumpcare so bad even the man who wants his name on literally everything...

well, in this case, doesn't.

As the prospect of a loss became more real on Friday, the frustrations of GOP lawmakers loyal to the leadership began to boil over. “I’ve been in this job eight years, and I’m wracking my brain to think of one thing our party has done that’s been something positive, that’s been something other than stopping something else from happening,” Representative Tom Rooney of Florida said in an interview. “We need to start having victories as a party. And if we can’t, then it’s hard to justify why we should be back here.”

I wonder if our media would be quite so rife with references to the IRA attacks if McGuinness hadn't died just before? It's rather elicited a feeling of disdain for the attacker: compared to the thirty years of bombings and mortar attacks, we think scorn that this is meant to abate London life, cruel as it may be.

“Do you have any idea who you’re dealing with? This is the country that stood up alone to the might of the Luftwaffe, air force of the greatest evil mankind has ever known.

“If you think we’re going to be cowed by some pathetic, Poundland terrorist in an estate car with a knife, then you’re as delusional as you are malevolent.

Poor dude had an existential crisis

He's not the only one apparently

“We have to do some soul-searching internally to determine whether or not we are even capable of functioning as a governing body,” said Representative Kevin Cramer, Republican of North Dakota. “If ‘no’ is your goal, it’s the easiest goal in the world to reach.”

I actually feel bad for Trump, he only wanted everything to be Great, and Big, and Yuge, but they aren't Great, or Big, or Yuge.

[Phil12]

Not even his hands.

[Seika]

If I were capable of feeling pity, I wouldn't be feeling it for Trump.

[SeiKeo]

I feel pity for Mitt Romney.
