This is a little cherry picking though. Were they voting for and against a wall specifically? Or the bill as a whole?


The bill as a whole.  But it included fun things like ending chain immigration and limiting immigrants.


Not sure what else it had that Republicans voted down.

I learned something new, from a MEME none the less:

Democrats (well, 8 of them) in the senate, voted for a giant immigration bill that would have added 700+ miles of wall on the border.https://www.congress.gov/bill/113th-congress/senate-bill/744/text?q=%7B%22search%22%3A%5B%22s%2C744%22%5D%7D&r=64
Republicans failed to take it up in the house.
The meme, of course, points to Schummer as being flippy since he was one of the 8 senators who make the bill and now is fighting against a similar one.  BUT Mitch McConnel voted against it and now he's in favor of it.
So... yeah, this is history repeating itself, just from opposite sides.  And we can see the answer to "If this was a X policy, would you support it?"  as being "Yes." Support your party.  Oppose the other party.  Doesn't matter what it is, just do the opposite of the other side.

Or surprised.  Text offers little in the way of tone.

So following Pelosi's advice is smart . Thanks for that.

I guess the Senate isn't a good place?
So, an act of deference, the very thing you critics claim he is unable to perform, is now rang as a cheer?

Not hardly...

Just a further sign of how bankrupt douchebags can be...


Who said I was cheering?
You did.

Past highly critical posts + current exclamation point at end of "Trump bent to Pelosi!"

Meanwhile, back on the ranch...

The government shutdown plan is working exactly like Trump wanted it to...

Soon, the fat will be trimmed from the hog and all these unnecessary morons can move to their dream socialist paradise...

Soon, civil court cases can be moved to military tribunal status and the traitors can be tried in an expeditious manner...


Nah.  Its so the kitchen staff is home and he can have fast food every day.
Fast food and military tribunals clearly go hand in hand.

Both quick and easy and so satisfying!
Just keep in mind how fast trump turns on his friends.

My limited understanding of the issue is that I'm not quite clear on DACA as a bargaining chip. It's tied up in the courts and if the Supreme Court doesn't take up the Trump appeal this session then it kicks around for the better part of 2019 as is. So if all that is true, I wonder if Dems are rolling the dice and simply saying DACA is moot at the moment and will be until October, so this deal isn't really offering anything.

(@moderator: you'd think I'd have remembered to shrink it.  Sorry.)


So, not sure how I feel on this:
https://www.npr.org/2019/01/19/686876605/trump-offers-temporary-immigrant-protections-for-5-7-billion-in-wall-money


One hand, its is fair deal.  On the other hand, i can see why dems want the government open first.  Not only does it remove any leverage Trump has, but it means there is no rush for making a deal with the border wall.
Also, Trump is losing support and thats thats good for Dems.

Sorry this took me a while to make.  I have a life.


One man's hero is another man's villian.
One man's freedom fighter is another man's terrorist.

However, lets be clear: While both sides could end this now, Donald is the one making demands for something.  He is using America as leverage to get his wall, like a terrorist holding hostages.  HE is demanding something that's new.  The democrats want business as usual.  They want the status quo.  A kidnapper doesn't call and say "You can have your child back if you don't pay me $5 million."

Trump is a terrorist, holding Americans hostage.  And we don't negotiate with terrorists.

whoops.

It's just a shame that Buzzfeed doesn't actually have any evidence backing their allegations and will retract all of this quietly in a week or so.

Looks like Rushy was right:

Inb4 Total Lackey has no problem agreeing with this post from CNN.


But thats impossible.
This is a witchhunt by the liberal media, Robert Meuller, and all thr democrats.  Why would they say such a story is not accurate?  Clearly they're lying.

I wonder when libtards will give a good reason for why Russia so badly wants the US to have great unemployment and a strong economy that they'd plant an agent in the WH.
That's actually pretty easy: so his base wouldn't hate him.  See, the goal is division and distraction.
Divide the nation.  Make it fight itself with a loud, spotlight loving man at the center, stirring anger.  That way, when things like ending troops in Syria... People are too busy with the war inside America to care.  Russia can do what it wants without risking US involvement.


Besides, the best way to conquor someone is to make them too happy to care about being controlled.

2 questions:1) Is Trump currently getting paid?

Even if he was, it would hardly matter, since he has so far donated every dime of his salary to charities. One of his campaign promises was that he wouldn't accept a salary, so it seems he's trying to keep that promise.
No, government agencies.
Like the Small Business Administration.
https://www.cnbc.com/2018/10/03/trump-donates-second-quarter-salary-to-small-business-administration-white-house-says.html


This is done at the treasury so he never gets most of his money.  Thus, less of a donation and more of a redirection of government funds.

It was not a presidential dinner.

He was hosting teenagers and early 20 somethings...and being the acknowledged genius he is, he took a look at the guest list and came to the only logical conclusion, that being...wait for it...KIDS THAT AGE LOVE BURGERS AND FRIES!!!
Was the president hosting a dinner?  Then its a presidential dinner.  Not sure what definition you're using.


Also, Trump likes burgers and fries.  I like burgers and fries.  My 4 year old likes burgers and fries.  Its not age specific.

No.

It isn't.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Presidential_Records_Act
Yes . Yes it is.




Quote
Then stop insinuating it is.
I'm not insinuating a private conversation is evil.  I'm insinuating that a specific private conversation between Trump and Putin has things discussed that our president is afraid will get out, even to his trusted staff.

Cheap as fuck?  Or just no taste in food?
A) Not cheap, just pragmatic, as everyone with a sane mind knows exactly what typical food college athletes enjoy; and,
Two) No real US citizen would adopt a moniker using the word, "Lord."
You do know that professional athletes, college included, have strict nutritional rules to ensure maximum performance,yes?  They are told by their nutrition coach not to each fast food.
Yeah, yeah, yeah...cupcake...

Looks like they didn't freaking listen to their nutritional coach there, Einstein...

And?  They were gonna eat it no matter what.  Could have been nothing but ice cream.  But he could have catered something at least befitting a presidential dinner, not, ya know, a cheap date.

On the notion of acting very, very guilty. This really is a crazy meme at this point.
Guilty of what?

LOL!


Good question because no president would ever bother hiding conversations by destroying evidence.  Right?
Care to point out where the word, "destroyed," was ever used?
You're right, a fail on my part . Trump took the notes.  He problably kept them in a safe place incase he forgot what was said.  And made sure no one else could see it . For some reason.


Quote
Taking notes and keeping them somewhere is not a crime.
It might be for the president.

Quote
Having private conversations is not a crime.
No one claimed it was.

Quote
But destroying evidence and government records is a crime...So you are for jailing Hillary Clinton, James Comey, Andrew McCabe, Peter Strzok, and Lisa Page?
I haven't the power.  And apparently, neither does Trump.  So unless you know something he doesn't, I'm just gonna point to his lack of "locking her up" and you go ahead and try to justify why he hasn't been able to.

We wouldn't know, because hiding something effectively means it's hidden. It's possible no other president did something like this, or it's possible that many others did it, but more competently.
Well, we know Nixon did.  But you're right.
Nixon didn't destroy evidence.

You must really like daytime soaps for the high drama and meaningful dialogue...

Along with hamsters for the high level of entertainment.
Correct, but he did hide evidence.  Which is what Rushy said and I agreed with.
Yeah, he hid it real well...
