Twitter Roasts President Donald Trump With #TrumpcareFail After #Trumpcare Bill Is Pulled!

President Donald Trump boasted when he first won the election that “We are going to start winning again and we are going to win so much,”.

Welp looks like in his first 100 days as President of the United States none of that winning he has promised has yet come to fruition. Lets recap shall we:

Travel Ban: Fail

Travel Ban 2.0: Fail

Mexico will build the wall: Nope

There’s always the promise of repealing and replacing the “disaster” that is Obamacare right? He has everything in place to do so with Republicans in full control this is definitely a sure thing. WELP looks like Trumpcare won’t be happening either for President Nacho either.Dubbed “the closer” by his Republican counterparts because he is known to close big deals, he failed to lure over any Democrats and bring back Republicans who were not feeling the Paul Ryan crafted healthcare bill.

The man behind of the “Art of The Deal” failed and came up short on one of his biggest campaign promises.

Obamacare remains the law of the land and Trumpcare is now dead! Twitter immediately let the President know how ridiculous he looked today after suffering a massive L.

So of course like clockwork, President Trump instead of blaming Republicans, blamed Democrats for not wanting to get on board with his terrible bill and even walked back claims of calling for a repeal. He called Democratic leaders Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer the biggest losers and placed ownership of “failing” Obamacare on them. Welp Nancy Pelosi immediately spoke after the bill’s failure to even reach the floor for a vote and she definitely didn’t look like a loser at all.

The Democrats resistance movement has been paying off while Republicans are currently licking their wounds. Hit the gallery below to see the hilarious tweets making light of Trumps huge L he suffered today.

“When Obama left office, he went jet-skiing on vacation. I’m taking that approach to give a sense of relaxation and chill and positive vibes in light of the new presidency. It’s a dark time, so I wanted to take the opposite approach and make something light and fun.”

WICKED‘s new broadway star and first African-American to play “Madame Morrible” played by the iconic Sheryl Lee Ralph stopped by the Wendy Williams Show to discuss the Inauguration, her longtime Dreamgirls castmate Jennifer Holliday, her husband Senator Vincent Hughes, meeting Michelle Obama for the first time and more.

Williams asked if Sheryl actually called Jennifer to speak with her about the decision:

You wanna know something, Jennifer is the kind of woman she makes her own choices for herself and that’s the way she likes to keep it but the only thing that matters for me when it comes to this topic is that at the end she SANGED THE RIGHT SONG!..Sheryl then proceeds to sing: “And I am telling you!”..as she changes the lyrics at the end shouting out the LGBT Community. 

When Wendy also asked: “would you would’ve performed?”…Sheryl said:

Not all money is good money. That’s me. That’s me and that’s Senator Vicent Hughes wife speaking but some folks — sometimes people need a check. I don’t know what the circumstance was but that’s what I would’ve said. 

Check out the entire interview above.

Sheryl Lee Ralph can currently be seen playing Madame Morrible in Broadway’s “WICKED” at the Gershwin Theatre in New York City.

The Donald Trump Curse Starts: The Obama’s Dog Bites White House Guest

The Obama‘s are leaving the White House and the First Black Family’s dog wants no parts of strangers visiting the home. One of the Portuguese Water Dogs named Sunny was approached by an 18-year-old family friend and was bitten in the face as she attempted to kiss the dog.

TMZ reports:

We’re told the incident occurred Monday when the 18-year-old was visiting the White House. Sources connected to the girl tell us she went to pet and kiss Sunny, and the dog bit her on the face.

Sunny — a female Portuguese Water Dog — left a nasty gash under the girl’s eye. We’re told the Obamas’ family physician, Dr. Ronny Jackson, checked her out and decided she needed stitches.

She’s gonna be okay, but we’re told she’ll likely have a small scar … which upset her. 

The bite is out of character for the breed, which typically is not aggressive in family situations. The Obamas have 2 Portuguese Water Dogs — 8-year-old Bo has the title,”First Dog.”

We reached out to the White House. No comment on the incident.

We’re glad she’s ok but let’s this be a lesson that you just can’t approach a dog when they’re not familiar with you.

But We Blame Trump at this point. Just sayin…

If you’re on Instagram right now scrolling through your timeline chances are VERY HIGH it’s consists 95% of pictures of Barack Obama, Michelle Obama, Barack and Michelle or the entire first family. Now if that’s the case it’s totally understandable because the 44th President delivered his final address to the nation as Commander-in-Chief.

giphy

We know, it’s so sad, we don’t want him to go, we don’t want to deal with President-Elect Nacho Dorito (Donald Trump) but unfortunately there’s that thing called a two-term limit. During his final address, Barack delivered a message of hope just as he did 8-years-ago when he first won the Presidency. In spite of the looming cloud of uncertainty that Trump’s Presidency brings, Barack cut through the thick clouds of fear and doubt with his beaming smile and his strong sense of confidence in people which never wavered  throughout his 8 years.

The one time Obama got truly emotional is when he thanked his beautiful wife Michelle Obama and his two daughters Sasha and Malia for being with him every step of the way during his Presidency.

Celebs took to Twitter to extend their sincere thanks and love to the 44th President immediately following his emotional speech.

the outpouring of love for The Obamas was tremendous and of course the appreciation for Barack didn’t end there as Instagram was flooded with nothing but love for our first African-American President and his family. Hit the gallery below to see more love sent the Obama’s way, and of course we gotta say THANK YOU Obama as well you will be missed.

Watch: Hillary Clinton Appears On Latest EP of “Between Two Ferns,’ Hilarity Ensues

Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton is the latest guest on Funny or Die‘s web series Between Two Ferns.

Host comedian Zach Galifianakis jumped right in with his silly hijinks, starting by attempting to sneak up and scare the former Secretary of State before getting tackled by the Secret Service. Galifianakis continues to ask Clinton a slew of unconventional questions, some of which she doesn’t even bother to answer.

The two go on to discuss what she should wear to Monday’s debate, her stance on Obama’s Trans-Pacific Partnership, and whether she ever feels the inclination to be racist since it’s working so well for Donald Trump. Galifianakis even stops for a brief commercial break to play a Trump campaign ad which Mrs. Clinton isn’t at all amused by.

Watch all the awkward hilarity that ensues below.
