Granny Starver Ryan: "If anything, (Trump's unpopularity) places more pressure (to pass tax cuts)"
This was a sound bite just now, so i don't have a link.
The actual quote was 'If anything, this places more pressure on us to follow through."
CNN reporter said the only way to save their asses before 2018 is to pass "major legislation" (such as the tax cuts).

"F.U.E.G."
That's it. Fuck YOU, Ed. What else needs to be said, except for "See you in 2018, Trump."

Stewart was back on that same stage Tuesday night. This time, he was there to reflect on our collective first year of President Trump. “What happened?” he asked innocently after joking that he had “blacked out” after last year’s Election Day. “Did my candidate win?”
***
“That’s really, I think, where our country is at right now. We put our dick in the toaster and we’re all waiting to see what happens. What the fuck, man?”
“I understand the people that felt like the forgotten man, or, this guy talks straight talk, so I’m going to vote for him,” Stewart said. What he doesn’t understand is the 10-15 percent Barack Obama voters who then voted for Donald Trump. “How does that happen?”
He imagined their mind-set: “You know who I want to vote for is that very staid, professorial gentleman from Kenyan birth who has an articulate sense and is a bit standoffish, that’s the guy that I really love. But since he’s not running this year… I’m gonna check out the ‘grab ‘em by the pussy’ candidate.”

Trump: "The people of North Korea are bombarded by propaganda every waking hour of the day"
He just said it in his speech. I finally found an MSNBC live stream on YouTube that was actually MSNBC, that was the first thing I heard, and I turned it off. I mean, can you IMAGINE being bombarded by propaganda every waking hour of the day? That would be JUST AWFUL.

Trump "is overweight, loathes exercise, hates fruit, loves steaks, cheeseburgers and fries"
Wall St. analyst concerned for Trump's health: 'Loathes exercise,' sleeps 4 hours, never eats fruit
Trump is "at least 50 pounds overweight," an estimate that may be a bit of an overshot. During a taping with Dr. Oz during the 2016 campaign, Trump was found to be 6 feet 3 inches tall and weigh 236 pounds, which would put him right on the border of "obese," with a body mass index of 29.5, meaning he would need to lose 36 pounds to get to a "normal" BMI.
He "loathes exercise," uses a cart for golf and struggled to walk up a hill during the last G-10 meeting.
A Secret Service agent source of Valliere's professed that "he has never seen anyone with worse dietary habits" and "never saw him eat a piece of fruit."
Trump's food choices tend to well-done steaks, cheeseburgers and french fries.
The president only sleeps four hours a night, is "angry most of the time" and "profanely berates aides."

SCENE: Headquarters for Robert Muller's Russia Investigation
MUELLER: Mr. Flynn, you know why you are here today, correct?
FLYNN: YES! You are interviewing all of the completely innocent people in President Trump's administration to see if they might have some valuable information that could lead you to the OTHERS who broke the LAW.
MUELLER: No, actually, I am here to tell you that we have uncovered some extremely incriminating evidence regarding your activity with Russia and other foreign powers during the Trump campaign.
FLYNN: WHO? MEEEEEEEE?
(PHONE RINGS)
MUELLER: HOW DID HE GET HIS CELL PHONE IN HERE?
FLYNN: Oh, my bad. I had it hidden in my ass.
MUELLER: BUT WE HAVE METAL DETECTORS!
FLYNN: This is a special all-plastic phone I bought in Moscow, designed to fit comfortably up my ass and help me avoid metal detectors.
MUELLER: Mr. Flynn, can you now understand why you have become a person of interest in my investigation?
FLYNN: Because I'm an interesting person?
MUELLER: Please turn your cell phone off.
FLYNN: Okee Dokee. Done deal. Always willing to cooperate with the FBI.
(PHONE MAKES LOUD VIBRATING SOUND)
MUELLER: I TOLD YOU TO TURN IT OFF!
FLYNN: Oh, I thought you said "Put it on vibrate and put it back up your ass."
MUELLER: NO!
FLYNN: Oh, OK...wait a second, maybe I'd better grab this. Caller ID says "Two Scoops 45." That's President Trump, it must be very important.
MUELLER: This is HIGHLY IRREGULAR! He has been known to attempt to influence matters such as this!
FLYNN: President Trump? Why, no. He told me just the other day that if I committed any crime, the only clear path for me was to tell the truth and accept the legal consequences.
MUELLER: (sigh) OK, I will allow it this one time only.
FLYNN: Mr. President!
TRUMP: MIKEY! You hanging in there? Put me on speaker phone.
FLYNN: OK Mr. President.
TRUMP: HIIIIIIIIIIIII, Bob! Are you having a nice day?
MUELLER: Mr. President, this is HIGHLY IRREGULAR, and I am in the middle of an investigation!
TRUMP: Really? Who are you investigating?
MUELLER: Mr. President, that is classified information!
TRUMP: Even from MEEEEEEEE? You know, Bob, I'm the President. The 45th! Many of my loyal followers call me "Colt 45," except they keep spelling it with a "D" instead of a "C" by mistake. You know, loyalty is very important to me, Bob.
MUELLER: Mr. President, did you call me to ask me to take a LOYALTY OATH?
TRUMP: "ASK" is a pretty strong word, Bob. You just seem like a very loyal guy to me, and I was just giving credit where credit is due.
MUELLER: Mr. President, I need to end this call and get back to my investigation.
TRUMP: Oh, I understand completely, Bobby. Listen, would you like to have dinner with me? Just you and me. You like steak? I love it. Crispy and chewy and smothered in ketchup. You like golf? You into chicks? You like to bet on the ponies?
MUELLER: Goodbye, President Trump.
TRUMP: But Bo... (call disconnects)
MUELLER: Now, Mr. Flynn, I would like for you to answer some questions.
FLYNN: I'm here to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the tr....
(Phone vibrates)
MUELLER: NOT AGAIN!
FLYNN: Better catch this. It's a call from "Shirtless Rider."
MUELLER: SHIRTLESS RIDER?
FLYNN: Hi, Vlad!
PUTIN: DOSVEDANYA!
