    Then why are you here.

    We've had nothing but blather from the Trump crowd on this thread.

    And your use of "drive by" is the rhetoric of right wing AM talk radio. If you think that's news, than it's pretty clear why you spend so much time constructing parsed rationalizations or outright nonsense to defend your defective hero, and see it all blow up over and over again.

    Trump made a fool of himself on Tuesday. Nancy Pelosi ended any doubt or speculation over who would be the House leader in one photo opp. Trump looked like and idiot, and would up bragging about taking responsibility for a government shutdown that no one wants for a wall that most Americans don't favor.

    Going down with the ship is one thing. Drawing a crowd before you do it is something only Donald Trump would do (even when he's too stupid to understand what he's done until after it's too late).

    Even the Fox crowd had trouble rationalizing this one.

    Why am I here? Certainly not to get educated by you.

    You've got your take on things, and I've got mine.

    Do you think you could ever convince me to accept you point of view? Do I think I could ever convince you to accept mine?

    LOL

    Perhaps you should reconsider your expectations...

    What are you doing here?

    Mueller can't play Scrooge because The U.S. Senate will prevent the 'bah humbug'

    Who cares if Pelosi is the House majority speaker or not? Has the Dems forgotten her last job as speaker? She lost the majority in a single mid-term, and her party was responsible for the ACA under her watch. It's to the Republicans long-term advantage, Trump or no Trump that she remain speaker. So thank you Ms.Pelosi for remaining the anchor which keeps the Democrats stuck.

    And here's the thing: There is a constitutional obligation for a Wall. There is no constitutional obligation for the refugees to be here. If we don't want it to be a wall, it doesn't have to be a wall but national security is a constitutional right for US Citizens.

    There is no constitutional right to be here, that was reaffirmed by the SCOTUS this year.

    But we recall that POTUS Trump promised citizenship for the dreamers, in exchange for border funding. Had the Democrats accepted this proposal, we're not talking about this today. But obviously the Democrats refused this proposal. Perhaps under the belief that a Democratic House can make the Senate bow to its demands.

    And maybe it can. But maybe it won't be enough to have a 2/3rd supermajority vote to overcome Trump's veto. Therefore, indeed the shutdown becomes a reality. And it'll be much harder to lift a shutdown under POTUS Trump than POTUS Obama.

    So Pelosi/Schumer can hope for Mueller to bring down the hammer. Or they're going to have to suck it up, meet halfway with POTUS Trump(which will probably end up being the proposal they rejected) and if you call that leadership, ROFL. No wonder.

    Bets are 2020 POTUS won't be better than Trump.

    Two kids flinging poo at each other and we're bragging about the less stinky one.

    Very True.

    At this point, Trump could kill his wife and burn the flag on live tv and they wouldn't be able to get enough GOP votes in the Senate for conviction.

    Still, it was great to see Trump get Totally OWNED by Pelosi.

    When he told yonder Chuck, "The last time you shut it down, it didn't work!" I spit out my Panda BooBoo tea from howling over here!

    I think that tit4tat with Chuck, at the end, just got him re-elected for 2020.

    Something about him, in that moment; he looked real Impressive, real Pridefully-Patriotic, real Presidential, like real 'The Mayflower' reel2reel.

    I disagree with Trump’s wall but I agree he looked better here than Chuck and Nancy. Did you notice that Chuck looked away from the president whenever he spoke to him? What a weakling. As dumb as Trump is, at least he maintained eye contact.

    We deport at least of the number who are already here

    I have a very good idea how this will all be judged when the history is written.

    It has been my experience over the years that I have predicted how these right wing obsessions will end up.

    I predicted the outcome of Mr Bush's war in Iraq before he even started it.

    I predicted the outcome of birtherism.

    I knew that the tea party "movement" was actually an astroturf fraud run by DC lobbying shops and the GOP for the purpose of energizing the base for the 2010 mid terms, and that the money, and later, the movement would dry up. Which is what happened.

    I knew who and what Donald Trump was in 1983. Nothing in his behavior, record or character has surprised me in the least. The only thing that is suprising is how many people fell (and continue to fall for ) his act.

    No, I don't care about convincing you.

    You're a hard core right wing AM talk radio guy and a Trumpster. Events will prove that the memes you promote are false or poor predictors, as they have done in the past.

    One thing about the right wing media audience. They never care about the truth, or whether the predictions of their favorite celebrites turn out to be true or not.

    As long as they hear what they already choose to believe.

    Trump is a disgrace, an incompetent fool and an international pariah.

    The "fake news" media didn't make him any of those things. He owns it.

    Yes, they do remember when Pelosi was speaker.

    She got the stimulus bill and the ACA passed.

    That's a much bigger legislative record than Trump can claim, and certainly much more than McConnell or Ryan can claim. But since their agenda was to be in opposition, and not to move things forward...……..

    A lot of people care who the Speaker of the House is. Just because we've had two ineffective GOP speakers who wound up being whip sawed by the right wing radicals in their own party, the rest of us don't have to lower our standards to the GOP level!

    Pelosi owned Trump. Get used to it.

    As for this:

    "And it'll be much harder to lift a shutdown under POTUS Trump than POTUS Obama."

    That's true. But now that Trump proudly announced that he would accept responsibility for shutting the government down to get his wall, he will own it!

    No one outside the far right wing and the mexihate crowd support this wall. Polls make it clear that most people are opposed or don't care. It's only in the far right wing fever swamp that draconian and un American ideas like this thrive.

    You live in a right wing media bubble if you really believe that Trump will be seen as a hero for shutting the government down over installing a symbol of American jingoism and intolerance like a border wall.

    And, after Trump loses this battle (and he will), his poll numbers will start to sink to the same dead ender territory that George W Bush wound up occupying.

    ROFL ... it appears that I won't ever top the, Harlequinades, which you do expertly post here ... but I'll be reminding you of the post once Trump gets reelected.

    uh no, Trump wanted to debate the issue out in the open, for We The People to experience it. Pelosi wanted no parts of that level of transparency, and you heard her too, when she embarrassed herself within her own words during that moment.


    Even a 5-yr-old understands which of those 2 scenarios that EVERY voter would frown upon.
