The president lost his shutdown battle because he was outclassed by the woman leading the House.

Pelosi questions Trump's ties to Putin in wake of Stone arrest

"The indictment of Roger Stone makes clear that there was a deliberate, coordinated attempt by top Trump campaign officials to influence the 2016 election and subvert the will of the American people. It is staggering that the President has chosen to surround himself with people who violated the integrity of our democracy and lied to the FBI and Congress about it.

In the face of 37 indictments, the President's continued actions to undermine the Special Counsel investigation raises the questions: what does Putin have on the President, politically, personally or financially? Why has the Trump Administration continued to discuss pulling the U.S. out of NATO, which would be a massive victory for Putin?

Lying to Congress and witness tampering constitute grave crimes. All who commit these illegal acts should be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law. We cannot allow any effort to intimidate witnesses or prevent them from appearing before Congress.

The Special Counsel investigation is working, and the House will continue to exercise our constitutional oversight responsibility and ensure that the Special Counsel investigation can continue free from interference from the White House."

Tick tock...

Hey Whozit.........

The Dems will cave and give Trump some if not all the money he wants, the only people who care about this shut down are the swamp people and their whores in the MSM. Trump knows this and is enjoying driving them bat shit crazy, they've pick another fight with a guy who loves to get into fights, they haven't learned that by now? Chuck and Nancy will cave and say they had to give in to save the country from this madman.


...could you mumble that again?

Apparently, Nancy and Chuck were Kung-Fu fighting and kicked the living shit out of Trump. No Wall money and then she showed mercy and invited him to the
House to deliver his SOTU, or as I like to call it ESAD....loosely translated:
Eat Shit And Die. So generous was she, that she gave him a week to recover from the embarrassing beat down. Now he knows not to pick a fight with Nancy
(a clever nickname he came up with all by himself).

He got his shit fucked up by a girl.....Ha!
This shit just keeps getting better all the time.

I was watching Lawrence O'Donnell last night and he brought up an interesting
take on Donnie's diatribe on the human trafficking. It seems that it's a scene
from Sicario: Day of the Soldado.
I'm trying to find thew video of the show where he shows the scenes depicting the made-up crisis.

Anyway, he's definitely got a twisted sense of reality.

Do you trust Fox News to make Trump look good? They tried, but then they had to cut Trump's sound because he was saying things that made him look sick in the head:

Trump at the border describes human trafficking in grisly detail, so grisly that Fox News is uncomfortable:

"They drive. They just go where there’s no security, where you don’t even know the difference between Mexico and the United States. There’s no line of demarcation. They just go out and where there’s no fencing, or walls or any kind, they just make a left into the United States and they come in and they have women tied up. They have tape over their mouths, electrical tape, usually blue tape, as they call it. It’s powerful stuff. Not good. And they have three, four, five of them in vans, or three of them in back seats of cars. And they just drive right in. They don’t go through your points of entry. They just go right through. And if we had a barrier of any kind — a powerful barrier, whether it’s steel or concrete — if we have a barrier, they wouldn’t be able to make that turn. They wouldn’t even bother trying."

Fox News host Dana Perino broke in and Fox News cut away from live coverage of the event.

Unfortunately, or maybe deliberately, FOX did NOT put the video on Youtube.

But you can watch video of Trump making Ms. Perino queasy at
www.vox.com/2019/1/10/18177405/trump-tape-human-trafficking-border-wal
l


Trump’s disturbing, detailed, and factually dubious description of women being kidnapped — a description that’s become a staple of his case for the border wall — elicited an uncomfortable reaction from many people about Trump’s mental health: "Captive women with tape over their mouths feature prominently in Trump’s inner world."

While Fox News has gone out of its way to protect Trump in the past, it’s unclear whether the network’s decision to cut away from Trump had anything to do with the content of his comments.

If the goal is to build a border wall, then President Trump has made the wrong decision at every turn. In early 2018, Trump had the opportunity to secure $25 billion in funding for his border wall in exchange for legal status for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals recipients. Instead of taking the deal, (which he verbally agreed to but had not yet signed the papers) he blew up the negotiations by demanding changes to legal immigration policy.

Then in June, the Senate Appropriations Committee approved $1.6 billion for 65 miles of fencing by an overwhelming bipartisan 26-5 margin. This could easily have passed the House and Senate. Instead, Trump later shut down the government over wall funding and demanded $5.7 billion. Result? After a disastrous 35-day shutdown, he got less — $1.38 billion — than he would have if he had just gone along with the bipartisan deal six months earlier.

Now, the smart move for Trump would have been to pocket that $1.38 billion and bolster it with another $3.1 billion he could use without a declaration of a national emergency — by reprogramming $600 million from the Treasury Department’s drug forfeiture fund and $2.5 billion from the Defense Department’s drug interdiction program. That would have given him $4.48 billion in wall funding — nearly the full amount he was demanding from Congress. Then, in December 2019, he could demand more money with leverage over Democrats when an automatic sequester kicks in, forcing $55 billion in across-the-board cuts to domestic discretionary spending unless Trump agrees to raise spending caps.

Instead, Trump has made the wrong move once again — declaring a national emergency, despite warnings from Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., and other Republicans that it could provoke a backlash from within his own party.

His "emergency" order will face an immediate court challenge, which means he won’t be able to spend the emergency funds anytime soon, if at all.
