I sure hope the government shuts down. It’d be a great testament both to Micturition Man’s First 100 Days as well as the Rethugliklans complete inability go govern.
More proof that these asshole’s couldn’t even organize a two-car funeral … with the second vehicle on a car dolly.
'Ol dickhead’s threats seem to be wearing thin, eh?
My god, he’s a fucking disaster squared.
If I calculate correctly, I think the shutdown, were it to actually occur, would happen on Day 100 of Trump the Magnificent’s reign. Make it so!
It’d be a regal something or other to blah blah blah Drump’s something or other.
LOL
What mendacious cowards.
It would also need to be gold plated.
He and his deputies have floated using payments for Obamacare subsidies insurers as leverage to get Democrats to vote for a bill with border wall funding.
This is the part nobody seems to be focusing on. This entire idea that trump is happy to pay for ACA subsidies if he gets his way raises the huge question – doesn’t this blow their legal argument right out of the water? Hasn’t the GOP been going around and around with the courts for the last couple years claiming that President Obama couldn’t pay the subsidies without congressional appropriation? By indicating he’s happy to pay the subsidies, that’s direct evidence that he doesn’t have any legal problem with them, right? So the legal case is kaput, isn’t it? The subsidies become just like any other government expenditure the law requires the congress to honor.
The first, last, and only response ever must be “you want a single penny towards the wall, get your chief Cheeto to get it from Mexico”. Not a single American dime for your stupid wall. Ever.
So the Loser in Chief loses yet again. Quel surprise.
But not to worry - the ACA repeal/replace and the tax reform will both be completed this week, per PeePee. Not that I have an ounce of sympathy but the R’s in congress have got to be hating that douchebag right about now.
Remember when Trump criticized the military strategy of announcing that they would attack a specific target, which Trump said gave the bad guys a chance to leave? Never mind that it was considered to be best practice. If it is so stupid to announce your plans militarily, then how is it not stupid to announce that you’re building a wall? Won’t the “bad guys” just cross the border before the wall is built? Will it go in overnight? If we keep talking about it, won’t they all come over and just hang out?
And what’s with the Senate? Did someone point out how disastrous it would be to shut down the government over this? Did someone point that out at the town halls? Since when do they not embrace ridiculous?
I do hope that the democrats don’t give Trump a penny for anything that could remotely be identified as a “wall”.
Between the wall and Obamacare repeal, it feels important to make Trump own his losses - very visibly and in no uncertain terms. He may get rich off of his scam of being president, but I don’t want him to enjoy holding the office for a single minute.
I hope that the democrats require an amendment specifically forbidding any of the money appropriated from being used for planning, engineering studies, or any other expenditures related to building a wall. Because you know that whatever "enhanced border security money goes into the resolution will immediately be spent on exactly that wall.
He pretty much pissed away his “element of surprise” strategy when he warned the Ruskies of the Syrian bombs and Putin’s Pals warned the Assad regime and the airbase that was supposed to be destroyed was 1) not destroyed at all and 2) completely empty when $100 million worth of Tomahawks hit it. (oh, and just for repeat shits and giggles, PeePee owns stock in Ratheon which makes - wait for it - Tomahawk missiles)
He’s a loser, first AHCA and now the wall.
That’s two strikes, Mr. President. You know what they say about strike three…
Have you already forgotten the 0-2 on his not-a-Muslim-not-a-ban? He passed his 3 outs when the AHCA went down in flames.
Prez Dipshit sez to Democrats: “If you fund my wall, then I’ll get the Mexicans to pay for your ACA subsidies.”
(He’s said stranger stuff)
What started as a big beautiful wall gifted to us by Mexico has quickly turned into a chain link fence with that blinder stuff weaved through it, some signage sponsored of course by Trumpty Dumpty and a few Radio Shack drones.
I wonder if Trounce Kopishes graffiti, cuz this wall is going to be a giant insult to his Amber Ass.
Radio Shack went Chapter 11. Maybe drones from Best Buy.
