...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.
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.
No one wants Trump's wall, except for Trump. No one wants a
government shutdown, except for Trump. And Mexico ain't paying for
Trump's wall.
The $5 billion Trump is currently requesting for a wall represents
one tenth of 1 percent of the overall budget.* Big f'in deal.* The Dems
aren't on record of opposing that expenditure to improve border
security.* They voted *for* it before.* The issue isn't "want" or
"money".* The issue is the opposition to anything Trump.
Many politicians are dishonest, despicable, elitists who put their
party and power before the best interests of the people they are
supposed to be representing.
All of this is nothing but political horse****.
"I'm going to be the one to shut it down," Donald Trump on the
prospect of shutting down the federal government. He *owns* it if it
happens. Too funny.
As for Trump's Folly, aka Trump's Wall, Trump promised at least 100
times that "Mexico" would pay for it. Why isn't that happening?
Why is the "new" NAFTA deal at least 90% the same as the old NAFTA deal?
Where is Trump's "wonderful" replacement for the Affordable Care Act?
Oh, and North Korea is still developing WMD's, the Iranians ain't
dummies, either, and of course the Russians are still running rampant
wherever they want, and China and other countries will be ****ing us
over royally in trade wars.
But, of course, "everyone" wants to be Trump's new chief of staff.
Well, everyone except someone of quality.
Gosh...and Mueller is still cooking stew and hasn't opened the pot.
I don't expect you to understand.* Just tighten up your blinders and
carry on.
Understand what? That Trump is a crooked, master ****up? I got that.
