Ryan has been appeased by Trump already with the ability to go after ACA.

"The president said he's going to get reimbursed one way or the other and we accept that. Meantime, we do have to pay our bills."


lol thats a hilarious quote imo, it's like well yeah that orange dude said somehow he'll get the money back so whatever we have to do what he says I guess

per guinness book of world records, longest ladder is 135 feet.

I can buy a 60 foot extension type ladder right now on Home Depot.

I can even buy two and a **** ton of tape.

There is no wall big enough that I can't ladder up, and ladder down it

Patrick Kennedy did but the other 3 did not. Besides even CNN's indication is that it is really only a couple months early.

But they normally have a replacement ready when the old staff is let go, right?

Wait til they drop the scythe though

Or you could just give American workers a raise directly.

we won't be shooting mexicans at the border, just stop

If the new boss does not want them, is their really a reason to keep them?

It really was going to fall on the career people anyway.

We know the Russians are ecstatic about how all of this is going. But think how happy the Chinese must be. They don't fear an economic downturn, and would welcome a massive trade war if it would weaken America, which it will. They look at the big picture and could care less if some millions of their people bite the dust in the short term. As for Mexico and Canada, what Trump`s team does not understand is that standing up to the bully Trump is the single best way for their leaders to ensure stronger and more lasting popularity, especially when he also provides an easy scapegoat for any economic problems at the same time. And if you think China isn`t waiting to step in and fill the economic void in these countries think again.

Meh, I'm still posting this:

China will happily step in and fill every trade void we create. The rest of the world will move to relieve their dependence on the US because for the first time in hundreds of years (if ever) we can't be trusted.

America became great on the world stage not in isolation. But we will certainly turn back the clock and be greatly lonely.

To me it feels like the administration doesn't think about anything it's doing in a traditional sense. Congress is happy for the dumpster fire as they can pass all kinds of things they want and take credit for anything that works while burdening trump with all the failures.

Can't wait until we negotiate trade with China. They will destroy us. God forbid we name a china expert as sos instead of a Russian sycophant.

Bernard Langer comment on trump's voting story:

Awesome, great

Uh trump is not a fan of paying bills so look for that policy to change. I wish I were kidding.

Who is he? Bill DeBlasio?

Lol trade war in week one! Recession incoming in 3...2...

Poe's Law still firmly in effect with trump - could be the most stunning performance ever. Bigly. Just the best Oscars.

I keep wondering when the markets will react. Maybe the prospect of a trade war will do it.

So Trump has floated the idea of establishing no-fly zones in Syria and noone here is talking about it? Am I misinterpreting this?
