This has to be a troll story. I know dems are dumb but they can't be this dumb....can they? christ I know the answer to this question

quote:

The current talks are limited to about a half-dozen Democratic lawmakers. They haven’t made an offer to Republicans yet, and Democratic leaders wouldn’t support one.

it's a group of six moderates, schumer's not for it, and there's not enough of them to break cloture even if they coordinated with republicans

I SEE DEMONS
March
http://trumpbone.zone

• Trump is surprised the press loved his address to congress
• NYT reports Obama White House spread intelligence to multiple agencies in case Trump WH decided to squash it
• Wapo reports AG Jeff Sessions met a Russian ambassador twice while working for Trump’s campaign. Sen Al Franken had asked him an indirect question about Russia and Sessions ended up committing perjury by mistake during his hearings.
• Sessions recuses himself from the Russia case
• Flynn and Kushner are both reported to have also met with a Russian Ambassador in December 2016.
• It is discovered Pence used personal email while governor and was hacked
• Trump tweets a picture of Chuck Schumer with Putin and declares an investigation into it. Schumer, of course, dunks on him by explaining it was a state meeting, which we know because he released his taxes
• Trump wakes up Saturday morning and has a tweet storm that bounces from topic to topic at random, includes: Sessions shouldn’t have recused himself, Obama wiretapped Trump Tower and did a Watergate, and Arnold Schwarzenegger was a loser game show host
• Pure panic across Washington sets in over wiretap tweets. FBI Director Comey is said to be incredulous and begs the DOJ to dismiss the allegations.
• Next Muslim Ban EO is signed which basically only takes Iraq off the list (15k ISIS members tho) and lets green card holders in. Still illegal.
• Republicans’ Obamacare replacement called the American Health Care Act and literally no one likes it. It removes the insurance mandate, turns subsidies into tax credits and give tax breaks to health care executives who make over 500k for some reason
• Trump drops in on a White House tour group because he is dying for some love and affection
• Kellyanne says Obama could’ve taped Trump through hacked microwaves
• CBO releases it’s report on Trumpcare and it will cut 337 billion off the deficit. And also 24 million people will lose their health insurance.
• Ryan doubles down on fantasy by stating this is all actually a good thing in the name of choice
• HHS Secretary states the CBO is lying and biased(CBO head was appointed by GOP house in 2015) but then they release their internal numbers WHICH ARE EVEN WORSE with 26 million losing their insurance. Meaning the CBO was handicapping themselves.
• NY Attorney General uncovers that Rex Tillerson used an alias e-mail account named “Wayne Tracker” to discuss climate change and other subjects while at Exxon.
• Ivanka Trump imported 53 tons of Chinese goods during her Dad’s inaugural speech in which he stated "Buy American, and Hire American"
• Rachel Maddow scoops Trump's 2005 tax returns and finds he paid $38 million in taxes, on $150 million in incoming, not counting another $100 million in income from his 1995 tax loss. It is heavily implied that Trump leaked his own taxes considering they could well be his best returns.
• Trump wakes up and whines about fake news and Snoop Dogg shooting a clown version of him in a music video
• House intel leaders find zero evidence that Obama had Trump wiretapped.
• Paul Ryan admits there is no way the AHCA bill can not pass in the House as is.
• Hawaiian Federal Judge strikes down the second Muslim ban, this time using Trump and his close advisers' words against them.
• Trump holds a rally in Nashville immediately after the judge struck down the ban, and rambles on about how we should go back to the original EO. Also leads the crowd into "Lock her up" chants (reminder: multiple Trump cabinet members have been using private e-mail accounts).
• A 2018 budget is unveiled that has massive increases to defense spending, and major cuts to the EPA and things like arts and Meals on Wheels
• Sebastian Gorka, a top national security adviser to President Trump and all around nutjob, is found to be a member of Vitezi Rend, a Hungarian group of Neo-Nazis..
• An airstrike on a mosque in Aleppo is called, leaving dozens upon dozens dead.
• Trump and Angela Merkel, Germany PM, have a meeting, and during the photo op Merkel asks Trump if they would like to shake hands, which he refuses. Then they have a press conference where he implies they were both wiretapped by Obama, and that he gets his sources from Fox News instead of the agencies he runs.
• Trump admin files papers to the federal court in Maryland to appeal the second Muslim ban.
• The White House has been installing aides in Cabinet agencies that are checking and testing loyalty to Trump. A move that hasn't been done by previous presidents.
• FBI Director Comey and NSA Director Rogers had a hearing before the House Intelligence Committee. It was extremely partisan, with Dems asked pointed questions about Russia and GOPers (namely Gowdy) more focused on leaks to reporters. Comey confirmed they are currently investigating the Trump/Russia connection. At one point, Trump tweeted Russia didn't not influence the election, and they both looked insanely pissed.
• Trump holds a rally in Kentucky and surprisingly does not mention the hearing at all.
• Paul Manafort allegedly took $750k from former Ukraine President who was pro-Russian and made steps to hide the payment
• Rex Tillerson plans to skip an April NATO meeting to instead meet the Chinese President when he visits the US. Also plans to go to Russia at the end of the month.
• Ivanka is getting an office in the West Wing for some reason along with security clearance and it is totally normal and not at all that Donald wants to gently caress his daughter.
• Trump meets with House GOP members in the morning to bully them into passing the AHCA. He makes vague threats about making sure they won't get reelected.
• Chuck Schumer calls for SC nominee Gorsuch's delay of hearing due to Trump-Russia prove by the FBI
• AP reports Manafort has been working with a Russian billionaire to promote Russian influence in America since 2005.
• House Intelligence Chairman Nunes comes out and says Trump's transition team, and perhaps Trump himself, were inadvertently surveilled by feds because they were talking to Russians who were bugged. The White House immediately hops on this to say that their wiretap claim is real.
