Donald Trump's Fatal Errors — Page 9

A delicious debacle!

Trump FAILED at closing the deal, and in trying to win over the House Freedom Caucus--a group of conservatives who consider him as bad as a Democrat--he used wonderful foul language in describing Paul Ryan:



"Forget about the little SH*T," Trump said, according to multiple sources in the room. "Let's focus on the big picture here."



Apparently, they decided to forget about BOTH little SH*Ts.



POLITICO: Inside the GOP’s Health Care Debacle Eighteen days that shook the Republican Party—and humbled a president.

Looks like Ryan and Trump have two choices: they can let the Freedom Caucus control the agenda, or they can work with the Dems. Any chance at all they'd choose the latter? Didn't think so.

What's the over-under on Ryan losing his House Speaker's gig?

In a sane Congress, the one losing his leadership post would be Devin Nunes. The guy is a conduit to the White House that's currently under investigation by the FBI.

'and another one Bites the Dust'...

The rumpy-trump WH continues to amaze. It's perfectly normal for a presidential advisor and very close surro-gate-Gate, [that's what we can call this procession of comrades - Surro-Gate-Gate] Boris Epsteyn to quietly resign his ever so important post at 10:00pm on a Saturday night.

"Nothing to see here; Move along.."

It's looking more and more like Flynn has started to sing like tiny Russian "N3MeHHNK" or "traitor".

It's going to get pretty crowded under that bus.

This is the headline foir the lead article in the NY Times this morning



NY TIMES: Trump Becomes Ensnared in Fiery G.O.P. Civil War



I almost wish that SueStorm/Petra were still with us, just so I could throw that headline in her face, but someone threw a pail of water on her and she's gone where the goblins go.

predicted a COP civil wart several months ago, before the election. They won of course, and Petra dubbed me "So Wrong, So Often." But I kept saying, in politics, you wait around long enough and it all comes around..

Who knew the demise of the Trump Coalition would end so soon? I'd like to say I did, but in this volatile political world, all predictions are worthless.

The only thing that's true is that if you wait long enough, it all comes around.

Here's hoping the Democratic coalition stays together long enough to make use of the GOP Civil War.

White House correspondent Tara Palmieri just tweeted this:



Tara Palmeri ?@tarapalmeri

Source close to @POTUS says he's being advised to replace @Reince45 & is open to possibility -- healthcare was last straw

Wouldn't it be delicious if the one who ended up being replaced was Bannon?

Steve C. said: "I can't understand why these rump-sters still continue to believe he knows what he is doing; ....

"

Part of the pro-Trump conservative psychology is that many are so deep into conspiracy theory that they latch desperately onto a chosen source (Bannon/Trump) and ignore everything else, hence all the "fake news" nonsense. It's impossible to get a modicum of reason into their skulls, so those people are lost causes that unfortunately do as much damage as possible while in positions of power thanks to gerrymandering and Russian involvement.

Now here's a fun thing to think about: If Trump is impeached, convicted, and removed, he doesn't get those special benefits like Secret Service protection and the pension. If he resigns, he does get them (I believe Nixon did). So I really hope he doesn't resign and any future impeachment process goes through in full, though we may need the 2018 rollover to prevent gerrymandered Republicans from protecting his ass.

One good thing has come from this entire debacle, though. Those who voted for Trump have shown their true faces, beliefs, and ugly character; I'm not willing to give the vast majority any sort of pass because all the dirt on Trump--all the racist and sexist things he has said on record, the KKK support, cheating on his wife, public lawsuit records, lies, etc.--were known before and during the campaign. It's nothing like Bill Clinton's scandal that only came to light during his second term. So many people knowingly voted for the ugly with and without so-called promises, and I'm glad that makes them much easier to identify and expunge from immediate social circles. They're a blight on American society.

Ooohhh...wouldn't it be delicious if Flynn turned?

Two things quickly guys,

Pootie yeah and yes and yes, you are so right in almost every thing you said above and I agree; the only thing that scares me is that these "underground" "low profile" "lying" rump supporters will go back into hiding and come back in another heinous form. This kind of prejudice and hatred doesn't die easily and will, sadly, continue to simmer...

the other thing is I am 95% sure that Flynn has already covered his ass and started singing...fvcking over rump and friends and setting the stage for complete anarchy. Question is what happens/ Is Pence still in with the Russian gang banging? or is he #46 by default? That could be even worse...

Later..

Oooohhh....they're bringing in JARED for questioning!



WASHINGTON POST: Senate panel plans to interview Trump son-in-law Kushner in Russia probe

Kushner has no experience or credibility to fix anything. He's just a little rich kid with no experience, knowledge, or skills. Nepotism only works when the neps are good.



Meanwhile, even Dick Cheney says the Russian interference in the election was an act of war.

In a watershed moment for the Affordable Care Act, Kansas lawmakers have voted to expand Medicaid, with a bill for similar action queuing up in Virginia. The governor of KS is expected to veto the bill but there's something in the air. First the town halls and now this.

WaPo Lawmakers in deep-red Kansas just voted to expand Medicaid

TOPEKA, Kan. — Days after the failure of the Republican health bill in Washington, lawmakers in deep-red Kansas voted to participate in a key part of the law it was meant to replace, known as Obamacare.

The Kansas state Senate voted 25 to 14 Tuesday to expand Medicaid — the state-federal program for the poor — extending eligibility to about 150,000 additional low-income people. The measure, which passed the House last week, succeeded with the support of all the Democrats in the legislature as well as a number of newly elected moderate Republicans who campaigned on a promise to broaden the program.

Gov. Sam Brownback (R) is widely expected to reject the measure, however, and the legislature was shy of mustering the two-thirds vote necessary to override a veto.
