By Fenderputty Go To PostI still think he's going to declare a national emergency and open the government. He'll lose in court and set awful precedent, but it's his only option to save face with his base. Dems aren't budging, polling suggests most everyone blames Trump and he'll look weak to his base if he opens the government without wall funding. Better to do chaos and say he "tried".Trump will never look weak to his base. He doesn't care about his base because they will all gladly eat his ass immediately after he takes a shit from his KFC dinner no matter what.
You have kids, you know how they act when they want something and you tell them no.
Pelosi is legit having the time of her life right now. Trump is literally her favorite soap opera right now. She can't stop smiling and laughing. We could not have asked for a better House Leader.

He was set to sign a bill three weeks ago but ended up shutting everything down because Ann Coulter and Rush were calling him weak. The wall is his ACA. It’s what he ran on. It’s what his base wants. What’s his “legacy” if he doesn’t get a wall? A shitty tax bill nobody likes and will eventually forget about. Declaring a National emergency is his best option to open the government while still appearing strong. He looses that base and he’s totally fucked because the senate only protects him from fear of retaliation by his base
That's right, Donny.
Be a good boy and make sure I don't lose respect for your bitch ass squad. I mean, base. Whatever.

He didn't want the wall that bad because the last two shutdown under his leadership didn't last anywhere near this long. He's never cared about the wall or ever had any intention of it. Depending on the day it was a real wall, the next day a figurative wall, then back to a real wall, then it was steel slabs, He ran on a lot of shit and hasn't even attempted to make them happen.
Unless I missed something Hillary is at home and is nowhere close to being in prison.

I mean ... I agree that the wall has never been a real thing to him. Just rhetoric for the rubes. Still ... three weeks ago he was set to sign a bill that he previously agreed to sign and that the senate passed 100-0. Then Ann Coulter and Rush called him out. Now he's stuck. He can't give in. Dems won't cave. Pelosi is holding strong. National emergency is his clean path out.
EDIT: Is Ann Coulter a more effective COS than John Kelly lol
Employees of the U.S. Coast Guard who are facing a long U.S. government shutdown just received a suggestion: To get by without pay, consider holding a garage sale, babysitting, dog-walking or serving as a “mystery shopper.”lmfaoooo
I really don't know what's funnier, that us federal employees keep getting these dumbass suggestions on what to do while we're not getting paid or that they seem to think babysitting will pay as decent as my current job.
If I could afford my apartment and utilities walking dogs, do you really think I would work the fucking job I have now? You think these people grew up wanting to be in the coast guard, that was their dream when they were little kids? Anyone that makes over 6 figures needs to be thrown into a volcano smh
By DY_nasty Go To PostImagine joining the coast guard on purposeimagine thinking you joined the Navy
There was that article that stated 'The Wall' concept was a memory trick to get Trump to start talking about immigration.
It's like this just took a life on its own.
As Mr. Trump began exploring a presidential run in 2014, his political advisers landed on the idea of a border wall as a mnemonic device of sorts, a way to make sure their candidate — who hated reading from a script but loved boasting about himself and his talents as a builder — would remember to talk about getting tough on immigration, which was to be a signature issue in his nascent campaign.
It's like this just took a life on its own.
By reilo Go To PostTrump talks about The Wall like Milton talks about his stapler.It's probably the only thing he can truly understand. There's a wall and it needs to be built.
Anything else regarding governing a whole country would be too complex. Imagine trying to explain to a narcissist with a superiority complex about the link between trade and diplomacy between countries. I won't be surprised if he still doesnt get why Russia needs to be sanctioned when Putin is a very good friend.

Longest shutdown was 21 days. Going for the record. He's got a few shutdowns left overall to catch up with Reagan, tho

i still feel like i was the only one here who ever did or claims to still give a fuck about what went down in libya so i guess her support of that is still fresh for me. blackace can probably describe that clusterfuck that was no child left behind better than i can... looking back on what it was supposed to accomplish i can't believe anyone pushed that disingenuous bs. she was also upfront when it came to making sure the dems folded regarding abortions and other big parts of the ACA which left it hobbled and half done.
telling trump to fuck himself doesn't make you a hero. its makes you better than schumer
Eurotunnel operators are seriously concerned about Chris Graylings “distortionary and anti-competitive” behaviour for awarding up to £103m to three rival ferry companies to provide additional cross-Channel capacity in the event of no-deal Brexit. One of which "Seabourne Freights" has neither a harbour nor any ferries.

"I don't think we have to protect military contractors, and I want to make that distinction very clearly" still pissed about that one... no damn idea what she was talking about lol. freezing the defense budget won't effect our troops or readiness cmon now.
By DY_nasty Go To Postnot sure how you can label her dislike as a republican hit job - as if that's the only reason anyone can ever dislike a dem.See, those are valid reasons to want more from Pelosi but my post obviously wasn’t directed towards people who can actually articulate issues that Pelosi struggles with. It was more about how she is demonized that people who don’t know wtf they are talking about get conned into believing she is the Antichrist. If that’s not you then I’m baffled as to why you responded like it was.

I didn't even register that as an attack or anything. If you want to argue with the people who are baselessly 'demonizing' her then fine but all I did was disagree 😂 Save that sauce for them.
I was pretty straight up about it. Saying Trump is wrong shouldn't lead to a standing ovation across America and all over the internet. The bar is objectively low right now pretty much around the world.
The idea that only Republican mud slinging is responsible for a long standing dislike for someone who's been consolidating power (not specifically her 'fault' considering the circumstances and the fukkery in house) and has been around long enough to be wrong plenty of times is pretty unfair. Not following through, questionable as fuck and often hypocritical stances on foreign policy, etc... She's a fixture from the Obama administration that obviously, whether people want to admit it or not yet, had some faults as well.

By Laboured Go To PostI agree, the real problem is the American electorate.
That's right.
That's damn right.
The only way to solve this problem is by not having an electorate.
That means getting rid of the form of government. I grow weary of an all-inclusive democracy. It's time to get rid of some people.
