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

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.




Nancy Pelosi shut him down? Ha ha!

It's entertaining to watch how the left interprets such things. Pelosi
and Schumer didn't "shut Trump down". Just the opposite. Trump exposed
both of them as being the secretive, "we know better than anyone"
Democrats who didn't want the press and public to know what was being
discussed. Very typical. Reminds one of "you have to pass it to see
what's in it".

Trump isn't typical. He's a "in your face New Yorker" and it's
refreshing to see him make the secretive lefties squirm a bit.

Pelosi and Schumer agree that better border control is necessary
yet when the lights on the cameras are turned off they both support
sanctuary cities in their home states. They also both voted for
building a wall previously but have changed their tune when Trump
was elected instead of their favorite, Hillary.

If I were Trump at that meeting I would have encouraged either of them
(but especially Schumer) that if they/he think they have a better
solution they should run for POTUS in 2020 and wrestle with the problem.
They won't of course. It would expose them again as being the
hypocrites that they are. Their only objective is to oppose *anything*
Trump wants to do and to hell with what is in the best interests of the
country.
