He'll never do it to someone's face. He's such a bitch.
Yeah until I had the good fortune to visit Paris I thought the same. It's on that bottom deck of the tower along with the observation decks. 58 Tour Eiffel if you want to look it up

Fat old man intimidated by young sexy man.
Yet his followers still trumpet him as some sort of alpha male.

Trump just shut out a question from the American Press and called on a Chinese? Reporter instead.

He keeps bringing up the fucking beef deal that happened before he was President.

Trump's old imaginary friend Jim, tripping him up again:

Last I checked, Macron isn't exactly taking him to task either.

Even his attacks on Hillary at the debates were pretty limp compared to what he'd say about her on the campaign trail.

3AM Tweet when he's back at the White House.

In non-Emmy news.
There's a line you see leaders like Trudeau, Macron and Merkel walk with Trump even though they don't like him. That's different from Trump suddenly bloviating about Macron being the greatest leader ever when he's in a press conference with him.

Do they need 50 votes to proceed on the vote or is it lower than that? If it's lower, hooooooo wee.
Shocked.

I think some of you have it all wrong. Trump is the one who insults the hell out of some of these people and their countries publicly and then when he shows up in their country in front of them they all still shake his hand and smile.
You don't have to go on a swearing tirade against him like Vicente Fox but not even a well spoken condemnation of his behavior? You tell me who's weak.

Did I just see what I thought I saw? Trump had a little trouble walking there and Macron held him up.

Ted Cruz is onboard with the new Healthcare plan. Shock and awe. Unless they remove his amendment at which point he's out again.
Wasn't it the "moderates" that had more numbers they needed to get on board than Cruz?

Rand and Collins are likely to remain "no's" at this point. I don't think that changes one bit with this bill. So they can't afford to lose anyone. I don't see how Murkowsk or Heller hop onboard with this bill. So that's two right there along with a number of others like Capito who came out against the bill after the fact.
We'll see but the hill to climb here is still steep. If Cruz is onboard, you can bet Mike Lee is as well.

H.W. Bush was the last adult to lead the Republican party. We went from him to Newt to Dubya to McConnell and now Trump.

Portman is now confirmed to be a solid NO on the senate healthcare bill
Proper adult politicians do not start insulting current allies, they divest in them and improve other relationship, which is what we are seeing in the G20 and other trade agreements, EU giving token communication to the USA (ofc we will like have a trade agreement with you! if XYZ happens) and rushing to exploit its weaknesses.
That Trump has the ability of communication of a 3 years old doesn't mean that ours should, unless something mayor (such as the pussy grabbing) happens. Campaign treason is something internal, as saying "you elected him due to irregularities" sounds really bad.
EDIT: Europe is all about softpower and passive agressiveness as can be seen in the EU.
Wait, what is this in reference to?
Good. Saves me a call I was going to make later
Source BTW?I will be watching his ass like a hawk though, especially after the CBO score comes out next week

You missed the strings attached to Putin's hand.
Get 3 nos, and you'll get a dozen.
Collins is a No, too, per her tweet.

I believe Portman is more of a 'no at this time'. Given that he isn't as important as Murkowski or Heller thats still pretty good though.
Yup.
GOP bill is a walking zombie husk. Capito going on a tour of WV w/ Manchin and throwing out a bipartisan option just wasn't something you do if you think you're getting a 50+1 vote "win."

Collins, Portman and Rand Paul, then .

That's 3. The thing is likely dead.
Not to get too ahead of this as there's always a chance they cobble something together last minute (see the House) but the next big question is whether Mitch buckles under the pressure to do a repeal now and replace later vote. I don't think that he will.

supposedly Lindsey Graham is going to put forth another senate healthcare bill soon-ish. (this I think is the one they are really trying to pass)
Isn't that basically the bill Collins and Cassidy were working on earlier?
Greigor The Fellhand

Source on the NO was a friend that called portmans office and got a response, to confirm it he called again and said Portmans flipped to a "undecided".
I'm calling anyway, requesting he vote no.

Block grant funding to the states seems like something that could get moderates on board. Maybe the Freedom Caucus would block it in the house since it keeps the funding.

Seems to be, although Cassidy-Collins let states opt into keeping ACA as-is, and this block grant system would have gone for everyone else. The Graham-Cassidy proposal seems to make the block grant system the standard with no ACA opt-in.
This reminds me a great deal of Clinton's failed healthcare reform initiative where every senator was putting up their own healthcare bill in a last-ditch effort to pass something.
This probably has a good chance of passing
Unless... which one did Portman say no on?

Hey, if they are allowed in the country you are allowed to collude with them. It's in the fine print.
This is a trap. It's like when the monster you are fighting splits in two and you waste time trying to figure out which one is real.

Portman doesn't sound like a "solid" no in the transcript.
