No surprises there. How often do you see a spoiled petulant child who is in full meltdown offer anything constructive?

By next week the financial implications and impacts will be full frontal.

The question will be how many Senators will hold on to Trump by next Wednesday.

Maybe at this point he’s trying to negotiate his way out of office using federal workers, errrrr, hostages, as leverage.

That’s what’s going on in the movie version anyway.

You ask too much from them. Republicans are incapable of governing. They have proven this time and time and time and time again.

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) said there was one clear message from Trump: “Stick together.”

To quote Ben Franklin (although he’s too good for the likes of these traitors):

“We must, indeed, all hang together or, most assuredly, we shall all hang separately.”

Hang them all.

I’m not surprised, though I am flummoxed.

…to be honest, I’ve been flummoxed since November 9, 2016

“Be strong! Be strong! (and powerful!) I will knife you in the tire tracks I will leave over your backs the instant I lose interest.”

I wonder how well that sold.

You know, the next women’s march is on Saturday the 19th. I think we should all carry signs that say “Open the Effing Federal Government Now GOP!!”

They’re worried that Trump and the GOP might become too beloved.

Trying to read the tea leaves here.

What I see is that outside of Murkowski, nobody wanted to tell the Emperor that he’s wearing no clothes. Murkowski, though, only voiced her concerns gingerly. No one is willing or able to tell Trump to sit down and shut up.

That said, Trump floating a DACA fix again also seems like something that is guaranteed to provoke a revolt. Trump can’t give anything to the Dems because any concession on DACA paves the way for comprehensive immigration reform which ends the white nationalist dream and the GOP will go the way of the CA GOP or even the Whigs.

In addition, Senators on the GOP side seem decidedly uneasy and Jeffries indicated that they expect more GOPers to vote for Pelosi’s bills in the House. I will be watching the vote count in the House on the bills Pelosi is bringing up this week (IRS bill is being debated today). If the number of GOPers who vote with the Dems exceeds 10, that would be a sign that Trump’s gambit is failing and he’ll have to make a decision to either declare a national emergency or fold completely.

Just saw a report that the petulant bastard is lashing out and cutting off California’s FEMA aid for the forest fires because self appointed fire control expert -flacid donnie - deems the forest Management techniques used by California are flawed.

Trump is more unstable than David Koresh … and this idiot will burn the country to the ground to avoid being held accountable
