The Daily Beast reported Friday that the White House plans to keep a “shit list” of Republicans who vote against the American Health Care Act, President Donald Trump’s preferred bill to replace Obamacare.

Citing multiple unnamed Trump administration officials, the Daily Beast reported that Steve Bannon, the President’s chief strategist, had advised Trump to keep, depending on the source, a “shit list,” “hit list” or “a running tally of [the Republicans] who want to sink this.”

“Not sure if I’d call it an ‘enemies list,’ per se, but I wouldn’t want to be on it,” one source told the publication.

Though some conservative outlets have already begun pinning responsibility for the shaky-legged legislation on House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI), the White House has emphasized that they have worker with the Speaker.

1. Give him my name

I wasn't there but I voted "no"

We ALL voted "no"

[unblock]

2. please proceed....

i think we need a circular firing squad smilie....

[MFM008]

3. what he wants

what he gets are 2 different things.......................

[oberliner]

4. "....they have worker with the Speaker??"

Does anyone proofread anymore?

[OldHippieChick]

41. Bugs me too

I get tired of trying to figure out what people meant to say. Don't know if it's texting or mere lack of education, but for many the use of spell-check would be nice.

[madashelltoo]

5. Aww, let His Orangeness / King Tiny Hands

have his list. All of the names will be misspelled anyway. He'll be shooting at the wrong people from the wrong state, in the wrong district, constantly. Let him follow the lead of the red-nosed drunk right into that gutter they always wind up in.

[NYC Liberal]

6. Would anyone care?

The Drumpf administration has no political power now. His approval numbers are tanking and he can't even get a bill passed despite Republicans being in control.

In fact, having Trump oppose you now is probably a net positive, not a negative.

[JudyM]

7. It's beautiful that the tea partiers sunk it. Let them all stew in their pusillanimous petty filth.

[Jonny Appleseed]

29. They pass the list to the Kochs and replace them with loyalists

[NYC Liberal]

33. The Kochs opposed this bill and told everyone who voted against

that they would give them lots of money.

[Chakaconcarne]

8. Let's just piss off/threaten a bunch of Republicans he's going to have to work with.....

They might just want to be done with it and turn his ass in.

[Skittles]

9. GOOD

the more he can do, the less chance of repuke goose-stepping

[BumRushDaShow]

10. So GrimReaper is taking on the Kochs?

who created the astroturf teabaggers and threatened they would pull funding from them if they voted for anything that didn't completely eliminate the ACA (i.e., which this bill didn't)?

Really?

[Javaman]

11. thank you bannon for giving us the allies we need to impeach the stupid bastard.

thank you! LOL

[irisblue]

12. Jim Jordan, Ohio 4th shivved you. Tea Party member aka freedum caucus.

[Marie Marie]

13. Hey Drunky McBannon - YOU are on MY Shit List.

And I will call it an Enemies List as you are an Enemy of Humanity. Now F**k Off!

[Leith]

14. I Kinda Thought He Would

Does this surprise anybody here?

[MatthewStLouis]

15. At first glance, this idea doesn't make any sense...

I thought some hard right wingers (like the "Freedom Cockus&quot were against the bill because it wasn't mean-spirited enough. Is he going to give them a pass? Strike them from his list. Hmmm.

Sadly, I suppose their next healthcare agenda will be to slowly chip away at Obamacare, working towards it's failure. They sure don't want it to succeed and help anyone. (What a bunch of SOBs!)

[Dave Starsky]

25. I think the Freedom Cock-up thing was Kabuki theater.

A way for them to express their "no" votes while appearing tough and hard-line. They didn't want anyone to know that they were really afraid of being tarred and feathered by the voters in their districts.

[Hestia]

34. I agree.

I hope there is not a lot of talk with them like they did with the Blue Dawgs.

I think we are seeing a War of the Billionaires - Kock's vs. Mercer's. Daddy Mercer is stone-cold crazy; Kock's are stone-cold, period. I guess it will be like the Running Man - if you can outrun the others, you get all the marbles.

[cilla4progress]

16. You could tell that from what he said

in the Oval Office (VOMIT!).

That it's hard to know who voted how, you can't find out. I immediately thought, he must have tried to get that info.

[Cryptoad]

17. Mr Bannon

obviously doesn't realize how short he is!

[NewRedDawn]

18. Uh Gin blossom

Booze breath Bannon, there was no vote. So could be anyone of your boys & girls!

[madokie]

19. hey dickhead bannon

this isn't the way our government is supposed to work, asshole

[klook]

20. I recall another prominent White House figure who had an enemies list.

Paul Newman and Daniel Schorr each said making that list was the greatest accomplishment of their lives.

[murielm99]

24. Yes, and look what happened to him!

[klook]

30. Yep! (nt)

[Dave Starsky]

26. Paul Newman was on Nixon's enemies list?

That just shows you how fucked up Nixon was. Who doesn't think Paul Newman is awesome?

[IronLionZion]

21. Oh yes! Republicans should fight each other over this

hold those grudges forever! Seek vengeance and be as petty as you can to all of them.

Trump can go tweet about it

Bannon needs to destroy the grand old party as we know it. He can start a new party that supports nationalism and American workers. He can call it the Nationalist American Workers Party or NAWP for short. David Duke and Steve King could join it.

[adigal]

22. Why is everyone afraid of that paranoid, wet-brained drunk?

Obviously, he doesnt have much power.
Loser.

[paleotn]

23. As damaged as this administration is...

if I were a Rethug, I'd rather be on the shit list, distancing myself as far as possible from that orange albatross.

[liberalmuse]

27. What's he going to do?

Get Putin's thugs to start shooting poison darts or pushing them out of windows?

[C_U_L8R]

28. If it's a list of House Republicans

Shit List is probably the most accurate description.

[Shoonra]

31. No difficulty in getting the list, and in two years they may be the only Republicans in the House

Steve Bannon may pretend to be a journalist but if he were one, he'd know better than to instruct someone to work up a list of Republicans who voted No on Trumpcare. Many daily newspapers will bother to list all the votes cast on the bill, and most of them will divide up the list by political party.

Bannon and some other True Believers may be thinking of revenge at this moment - but those Republicans (the ones who voted No) were the crucial deciding factor in this proposal. Figuring the Democrats will always vote No on a Trump proposal, and that the Republicans who today voted Yes have already sold their souls to Trump, it is the maverick Republicans whose votes will be needed on future proposals - Trump will need to feed them carrots, not the stick. In fact, it is these Republicans who may have the whip hand - and if they have some smarts, they may insist that that Bannon be dumped, followed closely by some other poisonous political types.

Moreover, in the 2018 Elections, it is these Republicans, the ones who saved the Affordable Care Act, who may breeze through to re-election, while the Republicans who tried to replace the ACA with Trumpcare get early retirement from politics. So Trump and his associates should smarten up on whose fences they should be mending.

[ancianita]

32. When, not if, this man leaves the White House, he will be on every shit list in the universe.

[roamer65]

35. Sounds like the beginnings of an impeachment coalition.

[AgadorSparticus]

36. What dense mutherf&*%ers!!! After the first threat to the

Republican congress, they went from 19 defectors to 27. You would think they could connect the dot there and stfu. But no. They will try it again because their ego would not, could not accept reality.

Incompetent Bastards. Every single one of them.

[dembotoz]

37. Hope they find eating their own to be yummy

Perhaps Jeff dahlmer left a cookbook?

Would imagine old fat white guy would be best in a slow cooker....

[Bengus81]

38. The "list" has been in FRONT of your face for weeks Bannon.....

Put down the sauce for a minute and you would have seen it. HELL,they did interviews as a group several times on TV you brainless idiot.

[noneof_theabove]

39. Hey Bannon

Here's your list....

[font size=24] ,,!,, [/font]

[truthisfreedom]

40. Brand that list on his forehead.

Burn it into his flaming skull.
