So we are going from "Mexico is going to pay for it" to "a Mexican is going to pay for it"?

 

[Pesqueeb]

Seems like there will be a Trump speech and a Schumer/Pelosi rebuttal afterwards. I'll watch both eventually as well as pore over the resultant fact checker articles for each.

"It's rare that you see an eight minute speech that's eleven minutes too long."

I watched it and the rebuttal as promised. Nothing new. Pelosi and Schumer's tag team was good, but no one will change their minds and this will drag on.

No matter how hard you try, you still can't polish a turd.

Just had to pop in after reading NYT, Fox, CNN and a few other random news networks coverage of the anti-human fuckwit’s latest lies to say best of luck with the dying days of your democracy.

As an antidote, have a read of the responses to AP's twit post....

What a fantastic read. Not surprising, but still somehow surprising.

Mike Pence is the most fake, empty-shell of a man I've ever listened to speaking.
His ass must be jealous of all the shit that comes out of his mouth.

His ass must be jealous of all the shit that comes out of his mouth.

Maybe my favorite quote from that Guardian article, from the night Trump sealed the election:

Mike Pence went to kiss his wife, Karen, and she turned away from him. “You got what you wanted, Mike,” she said. “Now leave me alone.”

 

[Pesqueeb]

A wall doesn't make a very good obstacle you say?

 

[Pesqueeb]

Speaking of walls......

Donald Trump has claimed that, despite his repeated promises that Mexico would pay for a wall on US southern border, he “obviously never meant Mexico would write a cheque”.

In the memo, Trump said he would threaten to change a rule under the USA Patriot Act antiterrorism law to cut off a portion of the funds sent to Mexico through money transfers, commonly known as remittances. The threat would be withdrawn if Mexico made “a one-time payment of $5-10 billion” to pay for the border wall, he wrote.

Well of course. No one in either of those areas will vote for him, so he can dish out retribution to the libtards that live there as he sees fit.

President Trump’s actions so alarmed the FBI after James Comey’s firing that it began investigating if he was working on behalf of Russia

Another Baba Yaga hunt I'm sure......

If TSA goes on strike it really wont matter what the rest of the industry does.

 

[dan-o]

Better yet, shut that whole TSA charade down permanently.

Grover Norquist, is that you?

I think ATC could be the bigger risk of overall impact long term.

 

[jimmydean]

Yes.......

He wants to call the shutdown a strike, why not let him so they will?
