I find it interesting that he believes the bill is a secret ploy by Ryan, and Trump somehow doesn't know what's really in the bill because if he did he'd totally hate it and be mad at Ryan. Rather than the fact that Trump actually thinks this bill is good and is what he wants.

Keeshhound posted:I appreciate that their view of the country is one in which both halves of the entire country hates the ACA. Well I mean I hate the ACA because it forces me to give money to an organization that exists only to create shareholder value when I'd much rather be paying reasonable prices for healthcare directly to those that provide it for me. Republicans don't want to solve the actual problem of the cost of healthcare because the only sane solution is eliminating the middlemen and imposing price controls, and that's regulation and all regulation is always bad because the corporate overlords say so. They've crawled so far up capitalism's rear end that they can't see any other way out except to believe that rational actors in the free market will fix everything when the entirety of human history demonstrates why it won't. Just tuned in to my favorite left wing hugbox and the chyron is "White House calls for vote tomorrow morning." That's loving awesome and I'm sure freep is despondent right now given how bad the bill was yesterday and how much incredibly worse it's become since then. I won't be able to dive in for a few hours so if you want to dip your toes in, dear reader, please do.

I guarantee you that when/if it fails the refrain is going to be that Trump is playing gently caress knows how many dimensions we're up to now chess, and that he pretended to throw his support behind this bill because he knew that it would fail and now he can pass the full replace and say "well, I tried repeal and replace but mean ol' congress wouldn't let me, so the only solution is to burn it all down." Of course, that's it's own set of unpassable horseshit, but that's my call on how they'll justify it.

From Trump delivers ultimatum to House GOP: Pass health-care measure on Friday or he’ll move on posted by freeper NRx So I haven't looked at freep all day and I'm honestly not sure what to expect. I'm not sure they know what to expect either, honestly. I keep saying freep means globalists, not (((globalists))), and nobody every believes me. quote:To: NRx "Trump?

Freep sure remembers. quote:To: NRx This is an interesting take because it operates under the assumption that the HFC is in the right, but the things they're demanding be added to the bill will make it a non-starter to moderates. If the HFC wins, the bill is still going to fail, it'll just be different votes. quote:To: EveningStar quote:To: NRx It's kind of refreshing to see opinions on freep that are based in objective reality. quote:

quote:To: IDontLikeToPayTaxes quote:To: Jarhead9297 So, overall, freep is mixed but mostly unhinged. Some see what's happening outside of their bubble, some seem fully aware that the Republicans had no plan to deal with the ACA, some are questioning what Trump is doing. Most of the first half of the thread, though, was them almost unanimously agreeing to just cut their losses on the healthcare bill and move on to tax reform. Most of these posts aren't notable, which is why there aren't many of them. This is probably what Trump wants his fan club to want. I guess we'll see what happens tomorrow. I'm not sure what time the vote is.

For now I'm just going to look forward to drinking their tears once the AHCA fiasco resolves itself. There is no realistic condition under which they end up actually happy.

Duke Igthorn posted:TRUMP PROMISED UHC DURING THE CAMPAIGN. Straight up promises everyone everywhere gets all the coverage they need paid for by the government, he ran on that, he said "I don't care if it costs me republican votes". WE know Trump is a lying scumbag but YOU are supposed to be true believers who take his word as gospel! There's this one freeper that brings this up whenever he gets the chance, and every single time he's shouted down as intentionally misinterpreting Trump's divine wording. Delusional lefties also latched on to that wording for a while, back when there were some people holding out hope for him being a secret liberal instead of a mercurial moron. So, Nunes really stepped in it. From Nunes Backs Down From Assertion Trump Was Monitored posted by freeper SSS Two the excerpt posted:Rep. Devin Nunes told reporters Friday he can't be sure whether conversations among Trump or his aides were captured in the surveillance that has become a source of controversy since Nunes made it public in two news conferences this week. The article is from NBC, but it quotes Nunes in his own press conference directly. How many posts will we see before FAKE NEWS? quote:To: SSS Two Prove it. quote:To: SSS Two To be clear, he did not close next week's session, he canceled it. quote:To: SSS Two Looks like the answer is eight posts before FAKE NEWS in the face of demonstrably true, objective, factual things that actually happened, performed by real people. quote:To: SSS Two There's a lot of speculation that this really was a counterintelligence operation to see if Nunes would freak out. This speculation exists because Nunes' behavior makes no sense whatsoever under any other possible circumstances. This is one of those cases where I'm just as as freep, because it being true would be hilarious. quote:To: SSS Two So this was basically the #2 headline across the entire MSM when it happened, and yet they think that the media didn't cover it at all? quote:To: SSS Two Again, Nunes himself is backing away from his statements. quote:To: SSS Two It's all fake. All of it. quote:To: SSS Two I think I'm just going to post each and every one of these. quote:To: SSS Two quote:To: SSS Two quote:To: SSS Two quote:To: Meet the New Boss quote:To: SSS Two quote:To: SSS Two quote:To: SSS Two OH COME ON quote:To: SSS Two I love it when they use "bigly." quote:To: SSS Two quote:To: SSS Two I hate it when they try to play semantics. quote:To: SSS Two This was in a 72 point font. quote:To: SSS Two quote:To: HarleyLady27 If you're the goddamn head of the congressional committee charged with oversight over the entire US intelligence community, who in their right goddamn mind would threaten you? That wouldn't just be a career ender, it wouldn't just be a jail sentence, it'd be a huge, huge scandal that would send shockwaves throughout the entire system. This'd be a thing that the Trump administration would want, because it would give them carte blanche to go after the "deep state." Freeper jersey117 is completely correct. If Nunes was threatened, coming out with it is his best possible move. But he's not doing that. Instead he's flailing around and making it look like he has something to hide. But freep can't admit this, because if they admit this, then there has to be something for him to be hiding, and that means this Russia business isn't just fake news invented by the evil MSM Uniparty. Anyway, yes, it's only the capital-p progressive that are making Trump look dysfunctional. quote:To: SSS Two Freep discovering emoji is pretty much the worst thing ever. quote:To: SSS Two It's too bad that freep makes it nigh-impossible to follow a poster, because I promise you that freeper Mr. Douglas isn't actually done. quote:To: SSS Two WENDLE shows a moment of being calm and cool and collected but still 100% delusional. quote:To: ExTexasRedhead So two of them are parroting this, right after each other. Which pundits are talking about the NSA? quote:To: JohnnyP [citation needed] quote:To: SSS Two Here's your daily dose of purestrain quote:To: Cementjungle As I was saying above, quote:To: Cementjungle quote:To: virgil Oh that's so cute, somehow they think today's clusterfuck around the AHCA isn't going to be the headline. quote:To: FlipWilson We can expect to see more and more posts like this as the Russia investigation continues and they have to justify what's happening with more and more outlandish conspiracies in order to protect themselves from reality. quote:To: heights

Vague sweeping generalizations and overbroad promises that frequently contradicted each other, no less. The wonder of Trump's election is that he could promise 5 contradictory things, and people could listen to all five things and then decide "well, clearly he's lying about the four I didn't like." Seriously, there's articles about people disillusioned by Trump everywhere and they all basically boil down to "Yes, I know he promised he'd destroy my life, but I was sure he didn't mean it. And I believed him when he said he'd get my coal mining job back!"

^ All I've seen has been "I didn't vote you in for that despite you repeatedly saying you would" or women that voted for him suddenly being shocked he's a sexist rear end in a top hat or freep realizing he's not that great a politician. It's not like you could see this all through the campaign. It's just that Republican conservatives can be coerced into anything as long as you use the right shock words. Kind of like a more sophisticated version of Lois Griffin running for mayor by answering everything with poo poo about terrorists and 9/11. Democrats are evil because we're a strongly religious party, watch Fox News for "fair and balanced" proof.
