Sen. Ted Lieu (D-CA) tweeted that he would only vote to fund Trump’s “stupid” proposed wall “if Russia pays for it.”
Excellent! I like this guy. Kamela Harris too. As much as it is used, the adjective “stupid” is still so underused to describe Trump proposals and what passes for his “doctrines.”
(Edit) I laugh every time I hear a pundit refer to Trump “policy” or “doctrine” while ignoring the elephant in the room… No policy or doctrine that is arrived at in the same considered way that a four-year old decides whether to play with his blocks or his crayons comes close to considered national policy judgment. If anything, the four-year old deliberates and more seriously considers his options than does Trump.
(And thanks to those who corrected me on Sen. Harris’ first name)
Keep this up, Dems. There is NO WAY we should bail out any of the ridiculous Trump proposals by falling for their phony attempts at “compromise.”
Ted Lieu is a congressman, not a senator!
Ted Lieu is right and Russia must pay for it. But pay cash in advance, there will be no more of this “oh believe me they will pay, you will see” crap!
Ted Lieu and Adam Schiff are the future of the Democratic party. The adults in D.C.
How Marie Antoinette of you, Mulvaney. Transparently so.
As if intentionally wanting to demask the entire GOP of any part of “We the People”.
Ayn Rand would be proud.
PS look to Kansas - it is not thriving under the Randian/LafferCurve budget policies of Brownback. Most Americans do not aspire to live as current Kansas are now required to do. Why do you hate “We the People” so much?
Muck Malarkey sure isn’t feeling the love.
Good.

Having paid for Trump, they’re suffering from buyer’s remorse.
Dems should call their bluff. Screw the CSR payments and agree to the wall if Trump releases 20 years of tax returns.
Apparently, Putin paid for Donnie on his credit card, and he’s now trying to get the charges reversed.
Gotta fly, off to the Science March!
Sadly, I fear the exact opposite: Putin is obscenely oversecured, and his only question is who (and what) to foreclose on first.
One penny on the stupid wall is too much. Hold firm and tell this sleazeball to suck it.

[/quote]Exactly. Which is the more accurate? Big, beautiful wall that Mexico will pay for, and they’ll like paying, believe me - or - Stupid border wall idea that is a stupid waste of taxpayer money.
Also:
Stupid health care plan that will take health insurance away from 24 million and kill Americans (including beautiful babies).
Stupid tax reform plan that will cut taxes for millionaires and raise them for everyone else.
Stupid environmental policies that will kill the planet.
Stupid labor policies that will kill American workers.
Stupid energy policies that will also kill the planet and American people.
Stupid foreign policies that will result in war and kill American military.
Stupid narcissist who should not be president and may kill the American republic (but, hopefully just the Republican party).
etc.
“We’d offer them $1 of CSR payments for $1 of wall payments. Right now that’s the offer that we’ve given to our Democratic colleagues,” Mulvaney said at a Bloomberg Live event on Friday as quoted by the Hill, referring to cost-sharing reduction payments.
And, of course, what this idiot doesn’t understand is that the CSR payments aren’t negotiable. Those are payments they are obligated, by law, to make. But somehow, the regime thinks it’s a great strategy to get Dems to the table.
If you like Pamela Harris, you are gonna LOVE Kamala Harris.
I am reminded of a phrase used to describe the Austro-Hungarian Empire in its last decades: Despotism mitigated by sloppiness. Of the trump fiasco, I would say: Malevolence mitigated by incompetence.
So far.
Correction: Kamala Harris, not Pamela
kamala harris. we need more people like them yelling “no frigging wall”. mick mulvaney is an ignorant sack of …t. an embarrassment to all us Irsh folk.
