So the official Whitehouse line has become “He’s just full of shit?”

He was just kidding, it was a joke, just like his “Precedency” (sic)

“That’s the fault of the Democrats not being willing to do their jobs,” she continued.

Well, she’s got a point there. The Democratic “Leadership” has repeatedly established their job to be throwing the Republican’ts a life preserver instead of an anchor…

He embraced the idea. His language was that of a mobster. If you don’t do what I want, the whole place gets burned down. The motto of the WH is, when in doubt, lie and blame someone else.

“MS-13 loopholes.” Because clearly, all Latinos are all members of MS-13. They’re all just subhuman depraved monsters. Really not even very wrong to just kill them all, when you think about it.

I know I’m a broken record on this today, but all of a sudden, starting since Teh Memmo! was released, they’re not even pretending to try to not talk like fucking Nazis anymore. They are literally using the kind of language historically used, time and again, to groom people to cheer the death of liberty and acquiesce, if not participate in, atrocities.

update And now, he wants a biiig military parade to show the whole world how big America’s penis is which is, of course, his penis because he is the states.

“…including fixing MS-13 loopholes…”

There are loopholes that specifically go easy on MS-13?

Pay no attention to Trump’s words. It’s what’s in his’s heart that counts, and Ms Huckabee Sanders knows Trump’s heart.

I know I’m going to noogie and wedgie me some treasonous Democrats the first chace I get. Maybe a little “Pull my finger” action if I can squeeze it in.

It is well past time to state that Trump is guilty of treason by defying our Constitution and the rule of law.

Winning or losing a shutdown is a matter of public perception. If Trump is seen as creating the shutdown he loses.

SHUT. IT. DOWN. Fuck this. If they’re going to be that fucking blatantly insulting and abusive, then SHUT. IT. DOWN. Obama and his team never said anything even remotely close to that…despite 8 years of obstructionist bullshit with the Garland cherry on top…and it’s clearly not the kind of rhetoric designed to get to yes. SHUT. IT. DOWN.

NO. QUARTER.

Every single time the Orange idiot opens his mouth someone needs come along and say: “He didn’t say that. And if he did, he didn’t mean that. And if he did, you didn’t understand it. And if you did, it’s not a big deal and if it is, others have said worse.”

The Repubs have the House. The Repubs have the Senate. The Repubs have the Presidency.

There is certainly nothing to stop them if they want a shutdown.

A better question is why, given their control, they can’t keep the government open.

"Our goal is to get a two-year budget deal and to also get a deal on immigration, which we have laid out.”

Yes. Laid out. And then said “do what I laid out or the country gets it.” That’s not seeking a “deal.” That’s extortion.

NO. DEAL.

NO. QUARTER.

NO. MERCY.

GROW FUCKING SPINES, DEMS!!!

It really can’t be stressed enough how badly Trump continues to play his hand. Going back to the previous shutdown, it was a huge mistake for him to proclaim victory; since all he “won” was the ability to kick the can for a few more weeks. The more they insist they won the last shutdown, the more pressure they’ll have to “win” this one. But there’s no reason at all for Democrats to back down, since we gave them what they wanted last time and they blew it by stalling the whole time.

More likely than not, we’re just going to end up with some variation of the deal that was offered last time: A clean DACA bill in exchange for wasting money on the Wall and other symbolic concessions, and their supporters are going to realize that there was no victory last time. The longer they hold out, the more painful this will be for them.

There are clearly enough votes to override a veto.

And then play his I love me some shutdown tape OVER AND OVER AND OVER again. Start calling him Little Donnie Shutdown. Start saying flat out that Trump imposed a March 5 deadline PRECISELY to cause a shutdown. Because he has stated MANY MANY times he wants a shutdown. Say it OVER AND OVER AND FREAKING OVER AGAIN. For god sake it’s what the repubs are doing every god damn day.
