It's a little bit juvenile, but it's simple and it's timeless.

We let it be known that Schnorkles, for a snack, eats tiny pieces of shit.

You're picturing it and you're talking about it. That's a win in my book.

I love how the media always goes on how great and smart Ryan is... remember when Diamond Joe clowned him for a hour and a half straight?

If I recall right the media proclaimed Ryan the winner of that debate right after it happened. Took people awhile to realize how thoroughly owned Ryan got.

Trump both hates Jews and gay people, not even by proxy

aNYWAY,
tHAT'S REALLY ALL THERE IS,
tO REPORT ON THE SUBJECT,
oF ME GETTING HURT,



Man they've been tiptoeing around it so far but I really don't know what'll happen if the Republican Senate shoots down a bill Trump's endorsed so vocally. Like if there was some way they could shift blame to the Democrats and block it that way I'm sure they'd be happy to, get the Dems to filibuster somehow then throw up their hands and let Trump rant in his trademark terrifying way about how a political minority is getting in his way again. It's not like Trump'd be smart enough to know they could nuke the filibuster if they really wanted.

If it actually comes down to the wire and they must come out and vote against the bill to stop it, though, then the real sparks will fly. Maybe the reason the House is rushing this is they're hoping to lob the hot potato into the Senate and let them bear the brunt of Trump's wrath, and are also hoping it won't pass? The only game seems to be which Republican branch of government can throw the other under the bus on why Replace & Repeal will fail before the midterms.

He hosed up the details. When the law it the real world the penalties weren't severe enough to induce healthy people to sign up.

The subsidies are also hosed up because a lot of niche situations can financially gently caress you up. I don't feel this part was well thought out.

McConnell is an incumbency elemental. everyone hates his scummy guts, yet he always gets reelected because he has All the Money and, what, like youre going to vote for a democrat? pssh.
