The Win One For the Gipper Vote [View all]

As we marked the first hundred days of the Trump disaster, all we heard from GOP bobbleheads is that the Republicans desperately needed to chalk-up a ‘win’ in their column.

And that’s exactly what today’s little charade was all about. No doubt word went out to House Republicans that sticking together and voting yea (on a bill they all know is never going anywhere anyway) would get them that elusive ‘win’.

It looks good on the scoreboard, makes it appear that the party is united behind Trump – and gives the old man an excuse to throw a kegger at the WH to celebrate his yuge and bigly! victory.

What a farce. It only took minutes for Senate Republicans to announce they won’t vote on the House-passed bill to repeal and replace Obamacare, but will be writing their own legislation instead.

But hey, guys, there’s plenty of beer to go around – so drink up, slap each other on the back, and congratulate yourselves on achieving sweet fuck all while attempting to ass-fuck your fellow citizens!

I hope Trump got lots of pics of today’s festivities, so he can look back on them and reminisce about that brief shining moment when he threw a suds-fest to celebrate yet another defeat while calling it a ‘win’.

For those keeping count, that big fat zero on the GOP side of the scoreboard is still up there, and all the beer-guzzling and back-slapping in the world isn’t going to change that fact.
