A flatulent mass of his own fantasy’: GOP strategist Rick Wilson explains why Trumpcare failed miserably

GOP strategist Rick Wilson didn’t have many nice things to say about President Donald Trump on Friday night, bluntly explaining that Trumpcare was a massive failure because Republicans were not wholeheartedly behind it and Trump is a terrible salesman.

Appearing on MSNBC’s The Last Word, Wilson — who has opposed Trump as the standard bearer for the GOP since the primaries — called the whole attempt to immediately “repeal and replace” Obamacare a “hot mess.”

“Free market Republicans hated the bill because it was basically just a different set of giveaways to the insurance companies and to pharma, and the Freedom Caucus guys hated it because it didn’t look bold enough, it was too gutless,” Wilson explained before turning to Trump.

“The thing was a hot mess from the get-go but Trump was trying to sell what Trump always sells, which is sort of a flatulent mass of his own fantasy about what the product is,” Wilson continued. “So he got out there, he talked fast. He said things like ‘Oh, don’t pay attention to the details, we’re just gonna do something great together.’”

As guest host Joy Reid nodded along, Wilson noted that Republicans are leery of Trump adding that the president is a “snake.”

Can The Trumpster last out a full 13 weaks, or will Mikey drop the 25th on his weak sad ass?

GOP lawmaker battles White House after Trump social media director calls for his defeat at the polls

While President Donald Trump has been busy Saturday morning attacking the media — and NBC’s Chuck Todd in particular — the man who oversees his official social media accounts has called for a Republican congressman to be primaried and defeated at the polls.

On Twitter, Director of Social Media and Senior Advisor Dan Scavino tweeted, “@realDonaldTrump is bringing auto plants & jobs back to Michigan. @justinamash is a big liability. #TrumpTrain, defeat him in primary.”

Amash touts himself as a libertarian and has been a thorn in the side of Trump, including attacking the American Health Care Act — also known as Trumpcare.

The Michigan lawmaker — part of the Freedom Caucus — took a shot at Trump earlier in the week after after the president complained about the conservative Republican faction that doomed his health care replacement plan.

White House staff turns on ‘out of his depth’ Jared Kushner amid chaos and turmoil: report

Thus far, in the scandal-plagued, chaotic presidency of Donald Trump, the chief executive’s son-in-law Jared Kushner has enjoyed a kind of unsinkable “privileged status.”

According to Politico, however, resentment is growing against Kushner in an already factionalized and strife-torn White House. Hardline conservatives see the moderate-minded, 36-year-old Kushner as an obstacle to their agenda and worry that Kushner ally Gary Cohn — a Democrat — will pressure Kushner to steer the administration toward the middle.

Thus far, Pres. Trump has tasked his daughter’s husband — a government neophyte with no previous policy or legislative experience — with solving the crisis in the Middle East and overseeing the U.S. relationships with China, Canada and Mexico. On top of that ambitious portfolio, Kushner and Cohn this week established the White House Office of American Innovation, an initiative to modernize and streamline the operations of the federal government.

How much longer before Trump's "Night of the Long Knives?"

Will Mikey stick a fork in Trump with the 25th? How many Trumpites will avoid prison?

Radio host: Vicious war between Trump and GOP brings ‘so much joy’ it’s better than ‘Netflix and chill’

Democratic radio host and contributor to the Daily Beast Dean Obeidallah had a good laugh at President Donald Trump’s expense over the vicious infighting diving the GOP on Saturday in an interview with CNN’s Ana Cabrera.

When Cabrera asked how Obeidallah feels watching Trump lash out at the House of Representatives’ Freedom Caucus, he said, “I think this is a great plan!”

“Donald Trump,” he said, “please attack Republicans as much as possible. As a Democrat it’s bringing such joy, it’s better than ‘Netflix and chill.’ This is the best thing ever. We’re grabbing our popcorn.”

Senate Intelligence Committee Has Proven Trump-Russia Collusion; Impeachment Imminent

In a shocking revelation putting all Russiagate skeptics to shame, the American people have been shown irrefutable proof not only of Russian hackers stealing emails from Democratic party officials, but of direct collusion between the Trump campaign and the Russian government to win the 2016 election. CNN reports that Friday’s Senate Intelligence Committee hearing featured declassified information obtained via NSA surveillance conclusively showing DNC emails digitally changing hands between hackers and the Russian government, and from the Russian government to WikiLeaks via intermediaries. Newly declassified CIA surveillance footage was also played at the hearing featuring Donald Trump giving Russian operatives the okay to release the damaging emails last year in order to damage the Hillary Clinton campaign.

“I told you it was Russia,” said former DNC leader Donna Brazile in an interview with Rachel Maddow this morning. “Clearly the Democratic party has major problems, including massive amounts of institutionalized corruption and a spectacular failure to meet the needs of the American people, and that absolutely needs to be dealt with. With my Russia comments I was simply trying to draw people’s attention to the provable fact that an enemy attacked our great nation’s pristine Democratic system.”

"Pristine Democratic System," WTF? A system so "pristine" that the DNC can torpedo the candidate who who is topping the polls and push a looser into the race?

Federal Judge David J. Hale will allow a lawsuit to proceed that alleges Donald Trump incited violence during a rally in Louisville, KY.

I suppose the defense will claim that it's all the fault of the PA system for amplifying his words.

At the rally, Trump repeatedly said “get 'em out of here” before, according to the protesters, they were shoved and punched by his supporters. Trump's attorneys sought to have the case dismissed on free speech grounds, arguing that he didn't intend for his supporters to use force. But Hale noted that speech inciting violence is not protected by the First Amendment and ruled that there is plenty of evidence that the protesters' injuries were a “direct and proximate result” of Trump's words.

“It is plausible that Trump’s direction to ‘get 'em out of here’ advocated the use of force,” Hale wrote. “It was an order, an instruction, a command.”

‘Sociopathic’ Trump will be impeached because he can’t change course or admit when he’s wrong

Will Trump get away with it? He’s spent a lifetime banging his highchair and blaming the dog for his mess. No wonder he calls the free press fake news; no wonder he calls citizen activists paid protesters. You call someone who gets away with blaming others “unaccountable.” You know what the antonym of that is? Impeachable.

Resist, Oppose, Impeach!​

Joy Reid ridicules Trump for weaseling out of first pitch at Nationals game to ‘avoid the boos’

“Could it be that Trump, who is clearly no Mariano Riviera, wants to avoid the boos and hisses that could greet him at Nationals Park, where a whopping 90 percent of voters chose Hillary Clinton over him?” Reid suggested. “Trump may not be so popular with the players either.”

“Close to 30 percent of the players on the MLB opening rosters in 2016 were born outside of the United States,” the MSNBC host continued. “Perhaps no other sport echoes the immigration patterns as well as baseball. Players representing Venezuela, the Dominican Republic, Cuba and Mexico. Countries that Trump has vowed to shut out with both policy and a physical wall. Not very sporting.”

Could it be that Trump doesn't want to show how weak he is when the pitch won't even get to the plate?

Trump hands everything to Jared Kushner because he’s already ‘lost faith’ in his other hires: GOP insider

According to CNN correspondent Jamie Gangel, GOP sources claim Trump has already “lost confidence” in some of his administration hires less than 100 days into his tenure as president.

“What are you hearing,” Up Front host Erin Burnett asked Gangel.

“First of all, this sort of makes him the Zelig of the White House,” Gangel explained. “China, Israel, the Middle East, opioids, fix the White House, but the Iraq announcement really caught lot of Republicans by surprise. I got a text from one senior Republican. Why? what does Rex Tillerson think about this? They’re just amazed.”

“Something that someone pointed out, no matter how smart you are and how much experience you have, one person should not be doing all of these things,” Gangel continued. “A Republican source who is really watching the White House closely said that he did not think this was about Jared grabbing power. He said he thought it was about Donald Trump has lost confidence in a lot of people around him.”

“And what does President Trump do when he loses confidence? He pivots to the people he knows the best, so the pivot to Jared,” she concluded.

I'm sure Jared will fix everything up, after he fixes Iraq this week.

As white men flee, Trump’s approval rating dips again

Things aren't looking up for President Donald Trump, a man long obsessed with ratings of any sort. His approval rating took another dip this week.

Just 34 percent of the country approved of the job Trump is doing, down from 44.1 percent in March, according to the latest survey this week from Investor's Business Daily/TechnoMetrica Market Intelligence (IBD/TIPP). The president's approval rating remained well underwater, with 56 percent of the respondents disapproving of his job performance.

Some key supporters have begun to migrate away from Trump, notably Republicans, independents and white men. Trump's approval among Republicans dropped to just 74 percent, a 14-percentage-point tumble from last month, according to IBD/TIPP. His approval among independents fell 11 percentage points to 29 percent. Among white men, one of Trump's strongest demographic bases, his approval rating fell from 58 percent to 49 percent.

A Quinnipiac poll released this week found similar results to those of the IBD/TIPP survey. It found that overall, just 35 percent of voters approved of Trump's job performance. The poll also noted that a majority of men and a plurality of white voters disapproved of the president.

Sad, weak, humiliating, loser!​

Voters Nearly Unanimously Give Obama Credit For The Economy As Trump’s Fake News Fails

Voters are not being fooled by Donald Trump’s nearly daily barrage of fake news about how he is growing or saving the economy. According to new Quinnipiac University poll, voters are giving former President Obama credit for the economy by a 66%-18% margin.

The Quinnipiac University Poll released today found, “A total of 52 percent of voters say the American economy is “excellent” or “good,” while 45 percent say it is “not so good” or “poor.” Former President Barack Obama is more responsible than President Trump for the current state of the economy, voters say 66 – 18 percent, including 64 – 26 percent among Republicans. Republicans in Congress.”

What is clear from the polling is that for as much as voters dislike Trump personally, they disagree even more with his policies.

If the scandals don’t bring down Trump, it is a near certainty that his unpopular agenda will.

Failing Biggly!

Steve Bannon Booted From National Security Council, We Can’t Imagine Why

Big doin’s at the White Supremacy House today as Donald Trump reorganized the National Security Council, removing Steve Bannon from the NSC where he never belonged in the first place. Trump also restored the Director of National Intelligence, Dan Coates, and chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen. Joseph Dunford, to their full places on the NSC after ham-handedly placing them on a vague sort of standby status back in January.

The shuffle brings the NSC back into a more conventional configuration, removing a political advisor who really had no business being part of the “principals committee.” In February, reports surfaced that Trump had signed an executive order elevating Bannon and sending Coates and Dunford away without really knowing what was in the order, then later griped that he hadn’t been fully briefed on what was in the copy-pasted executive order before he signed it. Hey, weren’t we just saying the president of the USA doesn’t read? Surprise!

While it may be some time before we fully learn why Bannon is out at the NSC, Yr Wonkette still tends to think our initial guess is right: Bannon was asked to stop coming to NSC meetings because no one could hear the briefings over the noise of Bannon lapping up cheap gin from a bowl on the floor.

Trumpcare 2.0 dead-on-arrival as Tea Party blocks Pence intervention

This week, Vice President Mike Pence hatched a plan to fix Obamcare with legislation that would allow states to opt-out of the law entirely. The tea party members of Congress, who are members of the so-called Freedom Caucus, have killed the new proposal, however.

Jake Tapper ridicules Trump for appointing ‘Vice President Jared Kushner’

CNN’s Jake Tapper began his Wednesday show wondering if “Vice President Jared Kushner” would interfere to help President Donald Trump with everything he’s ultimately messing up.

When it comes to Kushner’s influence in the Trump administration, pundit Bill Kristol was more interested in the muscle being flexed by Kushner along with Trump’s new National Security Advisor H. R. McMaster.

“I think some of the reporting suggests that the president’s son-in-law Jared Kushner wasn’t getting along with Bannon and thought he was doing damage to his father-in-law and urged that Bannon be relegated to a lower profile,” Kristol said.

He went on to say that if Trump’s administration manages to make it out without being considered a disaster it will be attributed to McMaster, who he believes will help repair the sinking ship.

Introducing another segment on Kushner’s finances and real estate deals, Tapper noted the presidential son-in-law is back from Iraq to continue fulfilling his role “as President Trump’s secretary of, well, everything.”

Steve Bannon Almost Quit In Piss-Rage Over Being Booted From National Security Council

Lotsa “Palace Intrigue” surrounding yesterday’s news that Steve Bannon was taken off the National Security Council, according to a story in the New York Times. The Nazi slob was, according to one White House source, so dead set against the demotion that he threatened to take all his plastic Stormtroopers and go home. Or if you believe Bannon’s pals in the White House, Bannon’s departure from the NSC was a real feather in his cap, not a big black eye at all. This crowd would make for a great TV soap opera if they weren’t allegedly responsible for running the country.

Here’s the most dish-y paragraph of the whole piece, which is yet another reminder of how wonderful it is that the Trump administration leaks like Steve Bannon’s hip flask after a three-day Tijuana bar crawl:

"Mr. Bannon resisted the move, even threatening at one point to quit if it went forward, according to a White House official who, like others, insisted on anonymity to discuss internal deliberations. Mr. Bannon’s camp denied that he had threatened to resign and spent the day spreading the word that the shift was a natural evolution, not a signal of any diminution of his outsize influence."

Call us cynical, but we’re way more inclined to believe the unnamed source who says Bannon acted like a pissy little bitch than the unnamed sources who crowed this was a huge success for the man whose face looks like an aerial photograph of the Battle of the Somme. Also, Politico is reporting that Bannon’s favorite funding source, billionaire Rebekah Mercer, personally stepped in to soothe Bannon’s hurt feelings and convince him to stay, according to at least two anonymous insiders.

Former SNL cast member says ‘moron’ Trump ‘struggled to read’ script during rehearsal

When the president previously appeared on SNL, Killam said Trump “struggled” to even read the jokes that were written for him. The Dec. 2015 appearance by Trump, after announcing his bid for president, was “not fun” for Killam “and most of the cast and writers were not excited to have him there.”

The cast and writers do what is referred to as a “table read” prior to rehearsal. The host of the week is also there to read through the jokes written for him or her. Trump “struggled to read at the table read, which did not give many of us great confidence,” Killam said. “Didn’t get the jokes, really. He’s just a man who seems to be powered by bluster.”

Comedian Samantha Bee once perpetrated a conspiracy theory surrounding the president, claiming that his problems all stem from the fact that he probably doesn’t know how to read.

Former GOP Aide Just DESTROYED Trump on LIVE TV…Anderson Was Stunned!

Blogger and former Scott Walker aide Liz Mair went on CNN to talk to Anderson Cooper about the current state of the GOP and ended up calling out Donald Trump in magnificent fashion.

When asked by Cooper if she thought Trump could be “reigned in” by the GOP and molded into a more traditional Republican candidate, Mair responded that it was “amazing that anyone is still having a discussion about an intervention and bringing him back on message” and that Trump will continue to act like he is “on a suicide mission…aiming to take the whole rest of the party down with him.”
Check out what Liz Mair had to say below…

It’s nice to hear a conservative blogger with ties to a prominent Republican politician say about Trump what a lot of us have thought since he started his campaign.

If only more republicans would see the truth about Trump, that he really is a loudmouthed dick, a blowhard, an ignorant, racist, sexist, homophobic bully who is going to drive the nails into the coffin of their already dying party.
