Trump strikes again!

Now if we could get Barry to do the same we'd be headed in the right direction.

 

[speeds]

We still love you, John!

We still love you, John!

I noticed he cried a few times during the Pope's speech to congress yesterday.

Orange man is so fucking ugly when he cries:

I totally expect the Republicans to replace him with someone who will be willing to work with the democrats and the President.

I fully expect to see Boehner now declare he's going through a gender crisis and will now be known as Joanna Boehner

He usually only cries when people talk about him.

He used to have a blue collar job--oh, the shame of it all...

 

[riverman]

He should have just asked the Pope to hear his confessions but the Pope didn't have 2 years to waste

I like Boehner. Stupid move by the Republicans to force him out.

 

[bodyman5000 and 1]

Put this thing out of my misery.

That's all fine but who says he likes them?

Most recently, Mr. Boehner, 65, was trying to craft a solution to keep the government open through the rest of the year, but was under pressure from a growing base of conservatives who told him that they would not vote for a bill that did not defund Planned Parenthood.

Yes, the democrats aren't too happy about this because this guy was the RINO

Those who call their fellow Republicans "RINO's" are themselves, not true Republicans.

Nice hyperbole with no substantial backing. It must be such a sad day for democrats now that their puppet has resigned

He wanted one of those hats REALLY bad.

Then why do I feel so happy about this?

[magnifier661]

Then why do I feel so happy about this?

barfo

Because you aren't most democrats.

 

[barfo]

Because you aren't most democrats.

I'm a DINO, sure?

barfo

No you are so far left wing, that any republican out is a good thing, even if it was a democrat plant

 

[MarAzul]

Then why do I feel so happy about this?

barfo

So do I! Weird huh?

 

[Further]

The number of congress people who are willing to work with the other side are dwindling. The orange man was more willing than most to compromise.

 

[Further]

One might view this as good from either ideological position but from the position of actually having an occasional bill make it through congress, things just got stickier.
