I love magic.

They could parlay that into an appearance on Penn & Teller's Fool Us this summer.

Have you guys seen the size of the new healthcare bill? I'm impressed.

It's gonna take less room in the trash saving us billions!

 

[Rebel Leader]

Look at how our paper is much smaller so that makes it better

 

[Dominican Power]

Jason Chaffetz is a slime ball. They need to vote his ass out of office.

 

[Owzers]

Have you seen the evidence?

Hah you're not going to trick me Glenn, there isn't any...whoops.

I think it ties into this axiom: "Sometimes the way a message is delivered is more important than the message". People like the appearance of simplicity, especially when it is something that will effect their daily lives the way health care does. I think that is especially true for the Republican base. Black and white, short and simple, is also easily more appealing to people who are less educated.

 

[Mr.Shrugglesツ]

Why can't they just say "Can you answer the question?"?

 

[sangreal]

it's also a load of horseshit because this bill is just an amendment to the larger bill

 

[Mr.Shrugglesツ]

That's some ether.


dude is actually standing up for medicaid.

 

[Mr.Shrugglesツ]

Oh fuck this guy.

Analysis: GOP plan to cost Obamacare enrollees $1,542 more a year

We estimate that the bill would increase costs for the average enrollee by $1,542, for the year, if the bill were in effect today. In 2020, the bill would increase costs for the average enrollee by $2,409.

We reported above the results for individuals. For families, the Republican bill would increase costs by $2,243 if the bill were in effect today. For families with a head of household age 55 to 64, the bill would increase costs by $7,604. For families with income below 250 percent of poverty, the bill would increase costs by $6,228.

These cost increases would explode by 2020. We estimate that the Republican bill would increase costs for families by $4,274. For families with a head of household age 55 to 64, the bill would increase costs by $10,591. For families with income below 250% percent of poverty, the bill would increase costs by $9,024.

YIKES

 

[Mr.Shrugglesツ]

He just almost accidentally said they were writing law in congress.

This would destroy the lives of most middle and low income families.

Disgusting.

 

[sir_kevith]

Hhaha! Sure thing Spicer, go ahead and knock on Trump's door and ask if he's going to stop tweeting accusations! We'll be waiting...

Paul Ryan's better way.

 

[Mr.Shrugglesツ]

Competition.

I'd love to see a member of the press mention that, or ask how many more pages will be added after all the other "phases" they have planned

No shit

 

[metalslimer]

I can't even with this defense

 

[timetokill]

ahahahahahh... amazing question

"If Trump has information, why is he asking congress to find out that same information?"

 

[Mr.Shrugglesツ]

Paris agreement?

I dont know.

Legislation?

I dont know.

How's trump?

I have a Republican friend who voted Hillary whose parents didn't vote but still texted "Obamacare is dead!!! " after the election. I get they were upset their premiums rose but where is their god now?

Excellent. Those dirty, filthy brown and black poors shouldn't be using my hard earned money for HEALTHCARE.

 

[Hellwarden]

Spicer actually wasn't melting down for once.

 

[Jeels]

But 70% of the country is white...

 

[Tarydax]

Spicer actually wasn't melting down for once.

At that moment . . . he became the press secretary.

 

[Mr.Shrugglesツ]

Spicer actually wasn't melting down for once.

You weren't listening to the same thing.

 

[callhitman]

Yeah, they will just post pictures of pepe.

They are also gonna have it a lot worse then there parents. In two years when the economic trump slump is in full swing.

 

[Wilsongt]

But 70% of the country is white...

As if logic means anything to some folks.

They just need to skip a couple of iPhones.

 

[broz0rs]

Can we finally get rid of the notion that Ryan is some sort of budget genius?

 

[Fenderputty]

What's worse politically for the GOP?

- Passing this shit and suffering the results.
- Repealing and not replacing.
- Doing jack shit and letting Obamacare die a slower death, but passing up on the repealing they've been screaming at their base for 6 years.

With three they cant run for re election.

1 is the only one they can do and pray the effects aren't felt for a few years. 2 will have instant effects and 3 would also hurt them.

The first two.. the third option allows them to blame the democrats and see if the base swallows that and there's always a chance that they do.

But 1 and 2 will wreck them at midterms

At this point it's probably a choice between getting primaried or losing in November 2018.

 

[Fenderputty]

I'm wondering how much doing jack shit would hurt them, really. I imagine it might supresss some of that tea party vote

 

[RastaMentality]

So will younger than 60 people making more than 50-70k (above the obamacare cutoff) end up paying less under the new plan since there's tax credits for them now?

 

[sphagnum]

they just have to come up with some reason to blame the Democrats for not letting them get rid of it

 

[Randolph Freelander]

Republicans exist in a world where nothing politically damages them, so I'm not sure there's a "bad" choice. Heaven knows their electorate doesn't really care about the truth.

 

[Wilsongt]

Even Breitbart.com is shitting on the new healthcare bill, but for xenophobic reasons. Lol

 

[balladofwindfishes]

They live in a world where they think nothing damages them, because for the last few years, nothing has because a big mean black man was in the White House. But they're the majority party now and have full control, and now is when it gets very real for them. There's no more Obama scapegoat when things go south or to explain why their stuff isn't getting passed.

 

[Mr.Shrugglesツ]

Ryans "bill" is a test to gauge what they can actually do.

 

[Ernest]

Oh please, oh please, oh please let this be true!


Ex-NSA Director Just Revealed They Have The Proof To Sink Trump For Treason

The sources are Schindler's tweets, and he seems like he's on the up and up...

(if fake, please let me have this for a few minutes before you crush my happy-place with cold hard facts)

*edit - oh, this guy's been full of shit for a while now, huh?

 

[GurgleBot20]

Ryans "bill" is a test to gauge what they can actually do.

I'm having trouble even thinking of something that they would be able to do.

 

[Fenderputty]

If they can't agree on something for the Dems to vote on they can't do that though.

Man, I get this, but I feel like they don't have much wiggle room here. Everyone on the right agrees with a repeal. Getting to 2018 without accomplishing this seems like it would be bad for them

 

[Mr.Shrugglesツ]

I'm having trouble even thinking of something that they would be able to do.

That depends on who you think "they" are.

 

[RastaMentality]

Apparently @thehill has tweeted about Chelsea Clinton 70 times since late January and people think this means she's gonna run for some form of office. https://twitter.com/neontaster/status/839116528821882881

 

[Diablos]

Trump is on board with it...
