The Presidency of Donald J. Trump: No smocking guns. - Page 1186 - Politics and Economics

Perhaps the only thing I want more than Trumps death is for you to suffer serious and irreversible financal harm as a result of trump. You going completely broke would brighten my day immeasurably.

No no. Because he thought it might save him $20. Awval is literally the worst of the worst.

Sitting in the Oval Office Tuesday evening, Trump dialed Upton in his congressional office. The president raised his voice and swore at Upton several times during a 10-minute conversation, sources familiar with the call said. But Upton stood his ground. He explained that he, like Trump, wanted to ensure people with preexisting conditions were protected, even quoting the president verbatim talking about the need to do so.

“I am not supporting this bill without a legislative fix,” Upton said, according to a source familiar with the conversation.

Trump did not want to talk about the merits of the legislation — he didn’t care much about those specifics, senior officials said. What mattered to him was how a failed vote would hobble his presidency and the ability to get other legislation through Congress.

He wanted a win.

Say what you have to to close the deal (I'll protect pre-existing conditions, I won't touch Medicaid, etc). It won't matter once they buy (vote).

The Conman in Chief.

Quote:

That was precisely what happened with Rep. Billy Long (R-Mo.). A longtime ally of Trump’s whose daughter is being treated for lymphoma, Long also said the bill was too weak on preexisting conditions for him to back.

Trump phoned Long a few hours after he came out against the bill on Monday, expressing his frustrations and trying to win him back.

But the call did not go well and Long remained opposed.

"Billy's against me?" Trump asked a senior administration official, with surprise. "Billy was on the campaign!"

Long, however, came around after the changes offered to Upton were adopted.

His daughter is going to have that pre-existing condition on her medical records for life. He sold his own daughter out.

The balls it takes to talk about saving the country money by pocketing less than somewhere else you own.

When somebody criticizes you for stealing $100, you don't get to tout stealing $50 as an achievement.

So the 4th service member has been killed in a week. No acknowledgement from trump or pence but pence has been flooding his twitter feed to visits to military bases. These two are disgusting.

Those counted as not in the labor force swelled to 94.4 million but was countered by an increase of 156,000 counted as employed, according to the household survey."

So there is positive and negative in the report.

Job numbers are looking better, wayyy better than March which was bad. I figure that gets revised upward as well.

Only really worrisome thing I've heard this week is worker productivity is down.

Saddest part of Avwal's galactic stupidity is he claimed he voted trump because he was from some poor rust belt part of the country and he was standing in solidarity. Trump takes steps to pass a bill that will shift billions from the poorest Americans to the richest and total ****ing radio silence from him.

Disgusting.

To be fair, I'm not sure you can blame people that dumb for their actions. You just need to work around them.

You like to spew anger on things I don't even support.

And if the tax bill sucks I'll call that out too.

You all so realize that I get to vote again in 2018 to kick all the bastards out. And 2020. And 2022.

This is a huge thing right now. People love to get lip service to certain things, and then they go out and vote against all of those material interests. I'm sick of it. We start judging people by how they vote and how much they are active in democracy, not by what they say they care about. You can't trust people like awval to tell you the truth on these things. They can see that AHCA is massively unpopular and it doesn't cost them anything to say they are against it. Actions are more important.
