The Presidency of Donald J. Trump: No smocking guns. - Page 5326 - Politics and Economics

Beto wouldn't bat an eye giving the GOP $5 billion for "border security" if it meant he got to make a speech about how he stopped the steel slats from being a real wall.

I really hate when politicians say things like "the greatest country the world has ever known".

Aside from just dripping with arrogance, it's demonstrably not true.

Wait, Trump didn't know the guy leading the fight against ISIS? And he is so ****ing stupid that he doesn't realize how bad that sounds.

Would love a press conference with Trump now:

What do you think about MM saying that you are a horrible person and that the wall is childish?

Why didn't you know the person incharge of defeating ISIS?

Why did you say you would sign the continuing resolution and then suddenly change your mind?

You said you would own the shutdown but now say it is a democrat shutdown. why?

why did you unfollow ann coulter a few days ago? was it because she criticized you for caving on the border wall?

why wont mitch mcconnell and democrats remove the senate filibuster and go to 50 votes?

did you consult mattis and the generals before withdrawing the troops?

do you understand that the fed chairman is supposed to be a non political position?

why did you do a tax cut for the 1% when unemployment was low and why have your predications been so wrong on the stock market?

Lol Trump's ready to throw Mattis completely under the bus, it will just take a few more media mentions of Mattis' resignation letter.

It reminds me of the Brexiters who want a bunch of things that will never happen and are revolting because they can't get them.

gtfo with this complaint unless you want another 4 years of Trump. There are at least plausible arguments to support it (like GDP) and we are never going to win the presidency running on a platform of being a overall ****ty country. If we want things like universal healthcare in USA need to come from the angle of being the GOAT overall country, so we should have a better health system than everyone else.

These people and their audience just want a Duterte. They want Trump to declare martial law and just murder Pelosi and Schumer on live television.

Trump can get off the highway and just sign a bill to end the standoff, or he can listen to crazies like Judge Jeanie and...

Fox would need, what, half a second to replace her with someone indistinguishable? I mean, BillO was forced out and the network simply replaced him with Tucker Carlson. Megyn Kelly thought it was her and not the network making her a star, and Laura Ingraham is even more deplorable.

Why stop at the wall? And why even legislate? Just wait for a spending bill and let the other side know what you can't live without and force them to say yes.

“It’s a textbook example of what the drive-by media calls compromise,” Limbaugh said. “Trump gets nothing, and the Democrats get everything, including control of the House."

Quote:

Fox News’s Laura Ingraham added Wednesday: “Not funding the wall will go down as one of the worst, worst things to happen to this administration. … Forget Mueller. The wall, the wall, the wall — has to be built.”

On “Fox & Friends,” Steve Doocy chimed in: “If there’s not a shutdown, he’s going to look like a loser.”

Sen. Bob Corker (R-Tenn.) on Friday expressed discontent with the apparent influence these commentators have on the president, stating that they “completely flipped” Trump.

“This is tyranny of talk radio hosts, right? And so, how do you deal with that?” Corker told reporters. “You have two talk radio hosts who completely flipped the president. And so, do we succumb to tyranny of talk radio hosts?”

LOL

Are you ****ing kidding me?

How about verbalizing the problem as "we have an idiot president who can be influenced by talk radio hosts"?
