“I’ll tell you what, I am proud to shut down the government for border security, Chuck,” Trump said “So I will take the mantle. I will be the one to shut it down. I’m not going to blame you for it.”
Why the hell the DNC isn't airing this clip everywhere, on a loop, 24/7, is a puzzle.
***OPEN YOUR DAMNED CHECKBOOK, IDJITS!!!***“This is an entirely contrived and phony crisis right now,"
Stopped clock, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.
"Ms. Pelosi and Sen. Schumer simply want to beat President Trump,”
Alternatively, Ms. Pelosi and Sen. Schumer want to actually govern the country rather than play supporting roles in a Trump production reality TV show.
This is far more obscene than Rep. Tlaib.
John Cornyn expects us all to have Memento brains that forgot that before the government shut down, the Senate of which he is a member unanimously passed the exact same bill House Democrats have sent to the Senate to vote on once more. The one and only reason the government is now shut down is that Ann Coulter got on Fox News and told Trump he’d lose his base if he signed the bipartisan, status quo preserving package that he had previously told Congress he would sign.
Since Fox News is the only advisor Trump actually listens to, he threw a tantrum.
Can’t get anything past this Mensa member.
You have to cock your head to the right, stand on your hands upside-down and close your eyes to even begin to understand what he’s saying. Bullshit is Cornyn’s first language and mother tongue. English is a far-off second. Still, he’s one of their brighter dim bulbs, which of course, isn’t saying much.
“Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) called the political stalemate over border wall funding a ‘contrived and phony crisis’…”
“BREAKING: Republican Accidentally Speaks Truth.”
And then immediately dives into a steaming shit heap of mendacity.
They’re refusing because it’s a dumb idea that won’t do a damn thing to prevent illegal border crossings, and it will cost a gazillion dollars better spent elsewhere.
John Cornyn speaks. He is a fine example of a “respectable” Republican. A grandly self-important, utterly self-absorbed liar, and consummate asshole. Obviously so. Every time. Guaranteed.
You spineless piece of shit. I remember a year or so ago when you were here in Texas listening to Texans and saying we don’t need a wall.
Fuck you Cornyn, you are so gone in 2020.
Whereas a Republican Congressman in your own state Senator believes a wall is a waste of money.
“This is an entirely contrived and phony crisis right now, and by that I mean the political here crisis in Washington, where Ms. Pelosi and Sen. Schumer simply want to beat President Trump,” Cornyn told Fox News. “They want to deny him what he’s asking for, and they want the political benefit among their base for having done so.”
Analysis for veracity:
“This is an entirely contrived and phony crisis” - absolutely true. (There is no illegal immigration crisis amounting anywhere near a National Emergency. There is a net negative flow of immigrants across our southern border.)
“Ms. Pelosi and Sen. Schumer simply want to beat President Trump” - half true, half false. (They don’t want to spend federal dollars on an wall that is not needed. It’s always good to beat a pathological liar.)
“They want to deny him what he’s asking for” - true. (They don’t want to spend federal dollars on a wall that is not needed, and which THE WORLD-WIDE ASSHOLE stated would be paid for by Mexico.)
“they want the political benefit among their base for having done so.” - true. (Of course.)
Cornyn failed to mention the true reason for this contrived and phony crisis is to distract from THE WORLD-WIDE ASSHOLE’s legal and political problems.
Like times 1 million.
These are the talking points being disseminated by right-wing propaganda. I have heard “Dems only want to oppose Trump and the Republicans” from both dittoheads and “bothsides” centrists in the last 48 hours in multiple forums.
And a glass of grease to wash it down with.
Mexico is supposed to pay for the wall. American taxpayers do not want to pay for the wall. Open the government and shut up. End of story.
Please get Senator Cornyn to a hospital - obviously he has had a cerebral accident - he has lost all memory fo his endless petty and profound obstructionist activity during the entire Eight years of the Obama administration.
Sometimes I wonder what happened to that weird deplorable who kept showing up to Trump rallies with his wall-themed bodysuit, MEXICO WILL PAY emblazoned across the chest. Do you think he’s woken up yet? Do you think he’s realized he was conned?
I kid, I kid.
The whole Repugnicon Party is a case study in psychological projection.
What about the unspent $1.5 billion Drumpf already received??? Drumpf is a danger to our country. Even more so as he gets cornered. We play by the rules and he keeps moving the goal post. When does this insanity stop???
