What a fucking twat. First he tried to claim that the cancellation was "mutually agreed", and then when people called him out for his latest "alternative fact" he goes sulking on twatter.

Fucking orange-faced wanker.

There is no point in having a meeting.

What is this bizarre obsession you seem to have for Trump's skin color Harry? Is skin color important to you?...you never commented on Obama's skin color, did you?....Can you not come up with something more constructive if you wish to be a Trump critic?

Mind you, it's better than what most of the other anti-Trumpateers have been able to muster ......

Are you a bit dim? Do you think Obama used blackface makeup?

Like I said it's better that most of the other nonsense you guys come up with....but hardly constructive, or what most people would view as fair criticism.....just bitching actually. Unrestrained bitching is the stock-in-trade for the anti-Trumpies...and the less important the issue the more bitching it generates.

You mean like the Black and White Minstrel Show.. No...not as far as I know....but he used a teleprompter a lot...and played golf a lot... no problem.

Maybe Trump uses a tanning bed a lot, or uses some shit to enhance his complexion.....so what does the resulting skin color have to do with anything?....other than providing fodder for pointless bitching ....?

Not so fast there, Donald. Nothing is as easy as you think. Your own party can't get a move on repealing Obamacare.


Republican split on Obamacare strategy evident during private meeting

An audio recording of the closed-door session revealed a host of divisions over the details of a replacement plan.

Congressional Republicans during a private meeting Thursday morning agonized over how best to repeal and replace Obamacare, a discussion that highlighted the vast divisions among the GOP rank-in-file, according to an audio recording of the session received by POLITICO.

House and Senate lawmakers during the Republican retreat in Philadelphia debated how best to create an affordable health care alternative that won't swell the debt but that also protects the more than 20 million people who have benefited from Obama’s health care law.

Some worried aloud whether an alternative from GOP leadership to offer tax credits for insurance would actually result in a middle-class tax hike. Others disagreed about whether to keep Obama’s Medicaid expansion that has benefited more than 11 million lower-income Americans. And a third group pleaded with leadership and chairmen working on the issue to slow down to ensure Republicans don’t mess anything up.

“I hate to think we’re going to keep going down this road that says, ‘You have to do it now! Now! Now! Now! Now!,’ and then wake up and say, ‘What did we do?’” House Rules Chairman Pete Sessions (R-Texas) told the room after being called on by someone moderating the question and answer session. Several of the other speakers on the recording could be identified because they were similarly called on by name. Sessions' office confirmed his comments.

After the room applauded the Texas Republican, Rep. Tom MacArthur (R-N.J.) stood up and echoed the very same fear:

“We’re telling those people that we’re not going to pull the rug out from under them, and if we do this too fast, we are in fact going to pull the rug out from under them,” said MacArthur, one of just a handful of Republicans who opposed a recent bill kicking off the GOP repeal effort. His office also confirmed the remarks.

The recording, first reported by The Washington Post, stands in stark contrast to the unified Obamacare message Republicans have been trying to show the nation. The private conversation, which was emailed to POLITICO as well as several other news outlets, shows Republicans have made little progress on a plan to repeal the health care law.

At one point, Education and the Workforce Chairwoman Virginia Foxx, who was speaking about how her panel would pass replacement legislation related to workplace health care, chastised her colleagues for getting “weak-kneed.”

“I couldn’t believe a week or so ago that I heard there were people getting weak-kneed on the repeal,” the North Carolina Republicans said. “My, God! We all ran repealing Obamacare! What is wrong?”

The point is that if I refer to the Orange-faced wanker, you clearly know exactly to whom I'm referring.

Job done.

Really? Do you seriously believe that they are "screwed in so may ways" because there are differences of opinion between them on something as big and controversial as ditching the ACA?.....

Anyone with an iota of political insight would fully expect a range of opinion and infighting under such circumstances, so it's hard to see why anyone would be shocked when it happens. Do you people think meetings about big political decisions like this always run smoothly and without dissent just because all the participants are from the same party.....

Good old press grabbing anything they can get their hands on and hyping it up just to make copy.

grab that bitch by the pussy !!!

Well, in a thread specifically about President Trump, and being as he is referred to in virtually post by name.....it was hardly a stretch to assume you were referring to him when you used the term "Orange-faced wanker".....plus the fact that you have made numerous references to the color of his skin in other posts....for whatever reason. If you believe skin color is the true measure of the man, please let us know. It's an interesting concept that needs to be explored.

Not because of differences in opinion. It's funny because the Republicans and Trump despised Obama so much, they wanted to undo anything he did. This included screaming for Obamacare to be repealed for years and running on the platform to repeal Obamacare as though it was easily done. In all this time, these people haven't got themselves together a workable plan and now they can't repeal Obamacare.

More breaking news of great importance

The Telegraph seems to think that Mexico is going into full revolutionary mode, because Vanity Fair Mexico, put a picture of Mrs Trump on it's front cover.

Don't think anybody thought it was going to be all that easily done, but it can, and very likely will be done. It's just a matter of how and when. It's probably going to take more than a week or two.....how long has Donald been in office now...??.

. don't forget he has a wall and NAFTA and Putin, and rebuilding the US military, and a few other things to think about.... Now he and the wife have to go visit the Queen sometime later this year as well. The work just keeps piling up.....

This is unfolding exactly as I predicted. Should be fun with a child in chief.

More like just over 50 years ago(after the JFK hit)...or maybe even longer than that.

absolutely, Hummer is being very naive about the press, it simply can't be trusted these days, and the reason why bloggers and altnews dominate the readership now

the press jumped the gun in 2002,

The press is not hammering him on his lies on a daily basis? You should try reading something other than Brietbart.

To make the logical deduction that because much of the press got it wrong 15 years ago they are therefore wrong all the time is a fallacy and it is the same kind of fallacious argument that Trump uses all the time to legitimize his lying. Did any of you get beyond high school?

Yep, and I didn't mean it hadn't happened previous to the Iraq war or that there aren't other obvious example. Iraq is just a blatant, recent example of what the press can easily become given the right (wrong) circumstances.

Assuming the press is going to take down the Trump admin. is probably asking a bit much. Not saying they won't....but, well....they probably won't.

Was I saying that though? That the press is wrong all the time? You're certainly inferring that, but its really not what I said.

It isn't his skin colour, is it you moron?

If it is, he needs to see a fucking dermatologist pronto.

Can I patent it?

LT?

Yeah, and let's be honest if you said the phrase "orange faced wanker" in any context whatsoever, pretty much everyone in the world would know EXACTLY to which wanker you were referring.

Koman= consistent unwavering apologist, even when it comes to Trump's ludicrously orange face. And no, I don't think its important but its fucking funny and pretty weird so have a good laugh
