From the article:

There’s never a guarantee the President will follow through on his promises, but it appears that he’s likely to do so in this case.

Nice - seems everybody’s getting a slice of Donnie today…

All of this has exposed the GOP Senatotial contingent as essentially spineless - basically identical content and they - support -oppose - support - all in robotic response to what they think Trump wants.

The look on McConnell’s face is priceless, he got nothing out of this except embarrassment and an image as a Trump toady, and following along might have risked the Republican Senate majority (and maybe his seat as well). And, with Democrats ascendant, he now knows that he has to work with them, the pain of trying to cross Pelosi is just not worth it.

Add in the right wing freak out over this, and it is good times indeed for those of us who want a functional nation going forward.

They’ve passed legislation to fund the government for 21 days — three weeks! This is what passes for GOP governance. Imagine if they had to manage a 7-11. Congratulations, white boys!


In other news, Toadglans von Hamberdlar has just been named “Cuck of the Incels.”

Pelosi needs to have a swat team /strategy team cataloging all of the inane stupid damaging ways that Trump might try to seek his revenge for this humiliation (even though it was self inflicted) … she needs an arsenal of actions that leave him scalded /roasted for each and every stunt he might pull.

Poor, poor Donald.

Everybody knows how Trump vs. Pelosi is gonna end.

It’s like Bambi vs. Godzilla.

(Or George vs.Inversion; take your pick.)

In terms of a normal presidency, a fuckton of things have happened.

In the Trump presidency, it’s about normal.

The “Boost Mobile” shop next to my liquor store closed.

There was a special on some already-inexpensive champagne, so I got three bottles instead of two.

No reason.

How embarrassing for the Banana Republicans. They did a 180 for Trump, now it’s a complete 360!

So much winning!

Normally, I want my political process to be a positive sum game. But with tRump you can’t win unless he loses.

hopefully, the White House staff has put Trump in an induced coma to prevent him from seeing the reaction of Coulter, etc…

I wouldn’t take my eyes off the Gravedigger of Democracy until there’s at least 6 feet of fresh earth separating him from the world. He’s a “from hell’s heart I stab at thee” kind of guy.

They’ll get over it. They’ve been spinning in the laps of the likes of Koch and Adelson for at least a decade now.
