Nunes Apparently Unsure If Trump Staffers Were Surveilled After All

The office of Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA) now concedes that the House Intelligence Committee chair is not sure that the intelligence community ever incidentally collected communications from President Donald Trump or members of his transition team.

"He said he'll have to get all the documents he requested from the [intelligence community] about this before he knows for sure," a Nunes spokesperson told ABC News on Thursday.​

And the hits just keep on coming.

Former Texas Governor Rick Perry takes time from his busy schedule as Sec. of Energy to focus attention on an issue that matters, criticizing the Texas A&M student body for electing a gay student body president, Bobby Brooks. :plain:

Now before my friends on the right start applauding, his objection had nothing to do with the student being gay. In fact, Perry said that when he first learned of the election of an openly gay student body leader he considered it, "a testament to Aggie character." So what upset Perry? Brooks actually came in second in the popular election, by some 750 votes, but the apparent winner, Robert McIntosh, son of a prominent GOP fundraiser, was disqualified after apparent violations of campaign financial rules.

In short, Perry was upset that a popularly elected president lost his seat by virtue of a rule that sent the victory to the runner-up.

Now that's funny enough, but the capping smile was provided by a representative of the university, senior VP of Marketing, Amy Smith, “His understanding of the election rules of student body president elections doesn’t reflect the facts.”

Trump says he doesn't blame Ryan.

11 months to get consensus on Obamacare. Short attention span Trump expected it to be done in a few weeks. It's more complicated than he thought. LOL

Expect vitriolic tweets from 45 this week.

It would be one thing to be offended by the reality of it, and it is another thing to lay that reality at the feet of someone who isn't responsible for it in a city where more resources are in play to safeguard the average citizen than most places on earth.

This kind of says it all:

The failure of the bill is an acutely embarrassing setback for Republicans, who for seven years made the repeal of the Affordable Care Act central to their campaigns and took dozens of symbolic anti-Obamacare votes while never coalescing around a singular, viable alternative plan. The absence of agreement among Republicans over how Obamacare should be replaced – or even on the basic questions of health care policy – grew even more evident after President Trump’s election, when repeal became possible.

Rep. Joe Barton (R-TX) admitted as much as he left the meeting Friday. Reporters asked why, after Republicans held dozens of nearly-unanimous votes to repeal Obamacare under President Obama, they were getting cold feet now that they control the levers of power.

“Sometimes you’re playing Fantasy Football and sometimes you’re in the real game,” he said. “We knew the president, if we could get a repeal bill to his desk, would almost certainly veto it. This time we knew if it got to the president’s desk it would be signed.”

Yep...

This is what happens when you don’t sweat, or even understand, the details

How did Ryan persuade Trump to adopt his bill? The truth is, it doesn’t appear to have been very hard.
On Wednesday, the New Yorker’s Ryan Lizza published a series of messages from a House Freedom Caucus source laying out the state of play on the American Health Care Act. “Don’t source to me,” the person wrote, “but R’s astonish[ed] how in over his head Trump is. He seems to neither get the politics nor the policy of this.”

It's a little late for Republicans to be "astonished." They're getting what they paid for.
