Discussion: 'We Have No Choice': Trump Stands By Shutdown Threat Over Border Wall Funds

you should preface that with “channeling my inner tRUmp…”

(sorry if that grosses anyone out)

There has be truth there. Dude is miserable and doesn’t care if it spreads.

Prefacing jokes takes the air out of them. And mine need all the air they can get.

Maybe Air Force 1 won’t be able to fly, maybe he’ll have no security. Wouldn’t that be a hoot if he couldn’t fly to Florida, no one would drive him and he’d have to hitchhike?

Oh my… The Secret Service and his Diet Coke button are the first bits to go in a shut down.

I think he realizes but feels entitled to because he’s a star and they let him do it.

The “we have no choice” language is interesting. I think the audience for it is himself. We have to stay strong, Donnie, we have to do the thing.

“Democrats have no choice” is what an authentic, effective strongman would say. But that’s not what he says. “We have no choice”.

I actually wrote “Spit take” but I made it disappear with the < and >! Ah, the vagaries of the TPM comments software…

Anyway, I am STILL LAUGHING, despite the fact I have food in my mouth.

So three moles are sniffing their way down a tunnel. The first mole exclaims “I smell honey!” The second mole says “I smell syrup.” The third mole says “I smell mole asses.”

(I empathize.)

Wow.
“This president is sitting there watching the conservative media beat up on him, and he is livid.” Haha!

Trump should consider a cleansing media fast…

And since the midterms, North Korea told him to piss off, Russia attacks the Ukraine, Hamas fires a barrage of rockets at Israel, China comes to the G 20 and gives him nothing…and Pelosi and Schumer take his lunch money on TV.

It’s always darkest just before you die.

It’s also very dark around the back and sides. Looks like he got into Stephen Miller’s spray-on hair can.

O wow - way to turn a phrase.

Yeah not to mention that Flynn got soundly told off for selling out the country; Cohen has flipped completely; Stone’s turn is here and that can only mean that they are moving steadily closer to the family and to him.

Merry Christmas, Motherfucker. Hope Santa brings you indictments and Articles of Impeachment.

So, the shutdown, heretofore referred as The Trump Shutdown™ is commencing.

Perfect.

Meanwhile…

The poll found 43 percent do support the wall, but 54 percent oppose it and say it won’t help secure the southern boundary.

Mr Ford: It’s a gift.
Trump: A what?
Mr Ford: A gift.
Trump: Oh a gift!
Mr Ford: Yes.
Trump: A tax dodge.
Mr Ford: No, no, no, no.
Trump: No? Well, I’m awfully sorry I don’t understand. Can you just explain exactly what you want.
Mr Ford: Well, I want you to give me a pound, and then I go away and give it to the orphans.
Trump: Yes?
Mr Ford: Well, that’s it.
Trump: No, no, no, I don’t follow this at all, I mean, I don’t want to seem stupid but it looks to me as though I’m a pound down on the whole deal.
Mr Ford: Well, yes you are.
Trump: I am! Well, what is my incentive to give you the pound?
Mr Ford: Well the incentive is to make the orphans happy.
Trump: (genuinely puzzled) Happy? You quite sure you’ve got this right?
