Default Wonderful to watch...

....Trump shoveling his usual bull**** and Nancy Pelosi calling him out
and shutting him down.

from the WashPost:

Donald Trump, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority
Leader Charles E. Schumer berated each other on camera Tuesday over
Trump’s border wall, an Oval Office spectacle that underscored the
distance between the two sides as they confront a fast-approaching
deadline for a partial government shutdown.

The stunning public spat, during which Schumer accused the president of
throwing a “temper tantrum,” ended with Trump declaring he’d be proud to
shut down the government to get the money he wants for his long-promised
U.S.-Mexico border wall. If the president follows through on the threat,
about 25 percent of the federal government would begin to run out of
money on Dec. 21, putting hundreds of thousands of federal workers at
risk of getting furloughed without pay just before Christmas.

The two sides remain billions apart on border security — the president
is demanding $5 billion for a wall, and Democrats will offer no more
than $1.3 billion for fencing — and Tuesday’s talks brought them no
closer to a resolution. The three leaders pointed fingers, raised their
voices and interrupted one another repeatedly as they fought over policy
and politics, laying bare their differences for all to see.

Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Schumer (D-N.Y.) had not expected the session to
be televised and repeatedly asked Trump to take the discussions
off-camera. But the president allowed the acrimonious encounter to
continue for nearly 20 minutes before kicking the media out of the Oval
Office.

As the argument dragged on, Schumer lectured Trump that “Elections have
consequences, Mr. President.”

heh heh heh... Gee, Trump said about 100 times that "Mexico would pay
for" his wall. Too funny.
