I refuse to watch this, but I’ll hang out with you guys for the witty and insightful commentary.
A three-week appropriation bill is idiotic. The fiscal year began on October 1, 2018. In the old days, every appropriations bill was passed by July 1.

What the hell…I want to hear him talk about how much he respects Roger Stone for not being a stoolie or a rat.
So long as Huckabooboo isn’t on camera I’m fine.
Carrying over from downstairs… this is what Trumpers always pull, especially the older females who desperately want to pretend things:
A couple drunk high schoolers, got a little frisky!That doesn’t make them rapist, or even bad! I have no idea, your gender or age, but that was the norm, back in the day, you flat ass say no! Like I said, she could very well have embellished the story, after all she was paid well

As a government employee, I DO NOT want a three week extension. It is moronic.
This one could be really wild. He’s going to be in a real mood after Stone’s arrest.
Happy Friday.

A three week bill hurts Trump even more in that he’s just stupid enough to think that maybe people won’t blame him if he immediately shuts the government down again.
re: #4 freetoken
I said, when Kavanaugh first showed up, that even if it were acceptable back then, it’s not now, and while it might suck for those who it might affect, for the greater good, it’s better to hold our representatives to current standards.
If he demands that the House pass again the very same two-week CR that had been passed a dozen times but halted by Mitch, Pelosi should go for the jugular and send forward a year-long budget, like in the days of yore.

The question was not about rape per se but about whether Kavanaugh was suited for a lifetime appointment to the highest judicial body in the country.
But that got derailed rapidly in the he-said-she-said shouting match that ensued…

That tweet was a total non-sequitor. No, two young drunk guys getting frisky does not equal rape, but sexual assault is not excused by two young drunk guys getting frisky- and sexual assault is the main issue here, not the level of sobriety or friskiness. The clue’s in the word “assault”. Not all youthful drunken friskiness is necessarily consensual, and that needs to get sorted
The Democrats who wanted to oust Nancy Pelosi look like real dopes today.

Remember that article “The only moral abortion is my abortion”? GOPer women have the exact same mindset for sexual assault - the only one that “counts” is theirs, not others (see Joni Ernst’s weaselly, Collins-esque comments about Dr Blasey Ford).

These are the same people who when reading “love thy neighbor as thyself” include “except those nonwhite folks over there - in which case, Fuck’em.”
These are also the same people who are getting HHS to allow adoption agencies to discriminate on basis of religion and sexual identity - giving Christian adoption agencies the right to discriminate against Jews or Muslims or LGBTQ from adopting through their agencies. Screw the best interests of the child, or making it easier to adopt. These people are out of their fucking minds to screw everyone else to make themselves “feel better”.

I think there is no way Trump and Mitch pull another government shutdown. They are doing everything they can to get themselves out of the current jam and not smell as bad as they do. They aren’t going to roll in the shit again.
Of course Trump will talk tough and say he hasn’t given up on a wall. He’ll blame it on Chuck and “Nancy” and the new Radical Right™ that is resisting him and Mitch.
They should be required to reopen the govt for longer than it was closed.

If The Wall were meant to be anything other than a Symbol of our National Resolve, then DT would have commissioned a planning report upon entering office that would already have had two years’ time to present a construction timetable, a budget, design proposals, environmental & property issues, etc., for Congress to consider and vote on.
Then Congress could be realistically asked to make funds available for such a project. But that was never his intention although he should at least in principle be aware of how such projects function in real life.

No.
This was sabotaging government in a fit of extortion. And the losers were Trump and everyone affected by the shutdown. Trump had power to reopen government while trying to negotiate. He’s back where he was more than a month ago, with an even weaker negotiating position. This is how not to negotiate.

Stone and Sam Nunberg. Don’t forget Nunberg was also an early campaign consultant. It was not even going to be a thing about actually building a wall. It was meant to be Trump’s reminder to talk about immigration. He could remember “wall” apparently if he saw it on his notes and then go from there.
Trump went to it hard when first running his campaign and I bet he saw how well it was doing for him, it became more than a reminder, it became his main theme. And he built on his building the wall over and over and again and again. And now he is stuck. His own big mouth has got him into something that most likely wasn’t even planned.
That is Trump’s whole career. He opens up his big mouth about something he is going to do, commits to it, fucks it up and then has to do whatever to get his fat ass out of a jam.

The GOP flop sweat is just rolling off in buckets. In 72 hours, they went from defiantly fighting Nancy to being her bitches and can now only offer mealy-mouthed excuses about how that’s not the case and they totally have her where they want her.
3 weeks is not going to change the calculus much, the GOP have absolutely no leverage to force her or House Dems to agree to wall funding.
One of the problems facing Japan is a negative population growth rate and yet they’ve decided on this horrifying, absolutely indefensible policy of fascist eugenics because they hate trans people even more than they want children. https://t.co/voDbKpN2Yu

Probably time for another one of their purity purges.
Watching the spin from the Trump True Believers is something. He got absolutely nothing from this shit show. He’s already started backing off the extent of the wall. A second shut down would be absolutely catastrophic for Trump, particularly when he basically said he’d be responsible for the second shut down. Almost the entire GOP Senate delegation looks like schmucks, and I’m not sure their egos could handle that again.
The only modicum of pressure that is applied to Democrats is that they need to put forward some reasonable immigration/border policies and message the fuck out of them, so the media can’t re-frame everything as Democratic “obstructionism” over the next 3 weeks.
IMAGINE THIS SCENARIO:
Trump agrees to re-open government for 3 weeks, then, during the SOTU after laying out his case in detail, with @SpeakerPelosi sitting behind him, declares a #NationalEmergency to fund the wall and explains exactly where the funds come from.

Even if it played out like in Mitchell’s letter to Penthouse Forum, how would that be “glorious”/a win for Trump? I know I speak the obvious, but you have to be pretty fucking thick to believe that Trump/the Admin actually think they could get away with building a wall via National Emergency. He’d have done it by now if there was a leg to stand on. Frankly, I wish a motherfucker would, because he’d have to open the gov’t for an extended period of time AND the national emergency would get shot down by the Courts in a heartbeat.

Remember reading an article a couple years ago about how the “progressive” image of Japan as a technological oasis is in total contrast with the reality of Japan as locked in the past.

Or how ATMs are still located in bank lobbies, so once the bank closes you’re SOL if you need to withdraw money in the middle of the night.

I’m probably preaching to the choir here with this, but it was something that was on my mind and I just started typing away.
———————————
After watching Trump nearly ruin 800,000 workers’ lives, along with their families, for basically nothing, I can’t help to think back to 2016 and the people I encountered who honestly thought (and probably still do) that Clinton was as bad as Trump.
For whatever faults Clinton and the Democratic Party have (and there’s plenty to grouse about), we absolutely would not have child prison camps and a President forcing people to work for free had she been elected.
These last two years are Exhibit A as to why I lose my shit over the cowardly “Both sides suck” view of politics so many Americans cling to. You get to vote when you become an adult, and sometimes adults have to do things they don’t like, because it’s the responsible thing to do.
Helping Trump get elected, either by directly voting for this clearly unqualified monster, or by staying home because Clinton wasn’t 138% perfect, is just something I can’t wrap my head around, and will never understand.
You had one job in 2016, America. And you fucked it up royally.
To those who‘ve been laid off: I know you may want to find a job ASAP. That process may be a little slower than you’d like. I highly recommend naps.

So if Ann Colder is calling for Jared’s head, will Donny follow his adviser and boot Jared out of The White House?
Might be time…even if Ivanka objects. She’ll get over it. She always has daddy…and his money.
Pelosi can simply set the date for after the 8th and put a provision in the joint resolution authorizing the SoTU that it will only happen if there is a signed CR guaranteeing government funding through the rest of the fiscal year. She holds all the cards here, deal with it.

re: #447 ObserverArt
If anyone is interested, Ari Melber is going to have Sam Nunberg on tonight. Sam and Stone are close Trump associates. Sam has been critical of Stone on Ari’s show before. It will be interesting to hear what he has to add tonight. Of course there will be some bullshit involved, but often Nunberg also reveals some decent info that is not good for Trump.
Jerome Corsi will be on Monday. That should be rich. Corsi and Stone seem to have had some differences lately. I have a feeling Corsi will be driving a bus over Stone.
Sure, they are all scum. But it is scum that managed to pull off an election for the worst President ever. There are things to learn from scum, like how to prevent what they did in the future.
I don’t know if it’s still a thing, but I’d read in the past that when Microsoft would release a new product, it suck worse than an army of Hoovers in a black hole. Each iteration of that product, however, would actually get better as time progressed, to the point that that product would eventually dominate the market.
That’s what worries me about Trump and the GOP. We are not the only ones learning from the scum. McConnell and the rest of the klan have no issue with Trump’s viewpoints; their biggest problem with him is that he keeps saying the quiet part loud and the loud part quiet.
My biggest nightmare is the GOP will somehow get a competent Trump elected one day (Kasich is one example). That’ll they’ll learn from all of the mistakes W and Trump made, and will refine that process until they have a monster like Trump who knows how to do evil quietly and on the down low.
That keeps me up at night.

“…With an eerie specificity, Trump has characterized these acts as commonplace.
Yet human-trafficking experts and advocates for immigrant women have said they are perplexed by this increasingly repeated story in Trump’s repertoire — and are at a loss for where he got his information. It was not from them, they say; in fact, they have no idea what he is talking about.
“I think his statements are completely divorced from reality,” said Ashley Huebner, associate director of legal services at the National Immigrant Justice Center. “That’s not a fact pattern that we see.”

Microsoft’s business strategy for years was using the end-users as the beta-testers, rolling out “Service Packs” back in the days before broadband internet made it possible for them to just deluge us with daily patches and hotfixes. Even to this day, they keep to the same strategy of rolling out a bug-ridden dog of an OS, then a year or two later rolling out a “new” OS that is basically the former with all the major patches and fixes rolled in.
See also: Win 95/98, Win ME/2K, Win Vista/7, Win 8/10. The only exception is XP, and that’s because it was basically a Microsoft making a dedicated Home OS rather than people relying upon the 2K which was originally intended for network users.

Now he may well be stupid enough to try this shit again, and if he does he’ll lose again, because everyone now knows exactly how weak he really is.
Rick Wilson’s latest on Roger Stone is pretty good: Cosplaying Supervillain Roger Stone Meets Robert Mueller’s Real-Life Feds
Another good barometer of how scared Trump’s media allies feel on any given day is how much they try to litigate the composition of Mueller’s staff or legal tactics as opposed to the underlying facts. The arrest at Stone’s love shack has become today’s hissy-fit shit-show screaming point by Trump and Stone fanboys like Gateway Pundit Jim Hoft, who ran a headline that captures the Trump-right drama-queen take on the arrest perfectly: “FBI Raid Would Make Gestapo Proud.” Did your eyes just roll? Because my eyes just rolled. The door-knock and the FBI’s handling of Stone was hardly a kinetic entry for a violent felon.
Stone acolyte Jacob Engels, Pizzagate hoaxer Jack Posobiec, greased-ham cosplayer Dan Bongino, Bongino’s handmaiden John Cardillo, and the usual cast of thousands raced to their fainting couches, declaring that the Deep State Gestapo was upon us. Trump Twitter ragebots always ready to scream “Lock her up” have suddenly discovered compassion and a love of due process and delicate treatment for those in the legal system. Several thousand kids in cages down on the border are muttering, “”¿Qué pinga?”
Mueller never sleeps, his targets aren’t getting exonerated no matter how many times the Trump media screams “But her emails!” or “No collusion!” This is one more set of indictments and moves in a mosaic of dread for Trump. It never gets better, Russia always draws closer, and the connections always paint of picture of more malfeasance and connection to Putin’s operation. The “process crimes” are just gravy. Delicious, delicious gravy.

re: #481 HappyWarrior
Didn’t Stone get his start in CREEP?
yep. Stone was just 19 when he started as a dirty trickster for the Nixon campaign in 1972
Stone’s political career began in earnest on the 1972 Nixon campaign, with activities such as contributing money to a possible rival of Nixon in the name of the Young Socialist Alliance - then slipping the receipt to the Manchester Union-Leader. He also hired a spy in the Hubert Humphrey campaign who became Humphrey’s driver. According to Stone, during the day he was officially a scheduler in the Nixon campaign, but “By night, I’m trafficking in the black arts. Nixon’s people were obsessed with intelligence.”

Ya, I can’t really go along with this either. If nothing else, it pre-supposes that Trump actually cares whether Dems cooperate and doesn’t simply prefer to torture for the sake of the pain (his supporters certainly don’t care).

The man was standing with his back to us, but we walked past him on our way to our table, and I turned around to see what kind of punk-ass piece of crap would be chewing out a waiter in front of a packed restaurant.
It was Hannity.
We kept walking to our table, and the screaming continued. We sat down and got our menus, and it was still going. The poor kid looked like he wanted to die where he stood.

I think so unfortunately and the anchor baby is one that infuriates me. My grandpa’s big brother was born before their parents were citizens and Uncle Stan enlisted prior to Pearl Harbor when “real Americans “ like Lindburgh were attacking Jews.

I wonder if it would help if Speaker Pelosi made a statement saying:
President Trump made a promise to his base supporters that he would build some kind of wall with Mexican money. That is not possible. There is still around 25% of the American public who believe a wall is necessary. It is not necessary. President Trump wants it to please 1/4 of Americans. So let me address the slim minority of Americans who favor using money to build a useless wall: We want border security and have a plan and a budget. But it will only include diversionary structures where deemed necessary through a comprehensive investigation based on data and input from our agents and others on the ground who deal with these matters on a day-to-day basis. No money will be release for such structures until such a review is complete. Meanwhile we agree to a robust budget allowance to advance border surveillance through drones and other technologies, and through enhanced techniques at ports of entry. We further insist on inclusion of all eligible for DACA under the terms of the Obama administrations guidelines and for a return to practices for those seeking asylum as sanctioned by international laws already agreed to by this country.

4) McConnell covered for you for a month, because you just signed the same bill that Pelosi and Senate Democrats presented for a month. You don’t get points for signing the bill that Democrats presented. You are responsible for a month of economic damage you’ve inflicted on millions of people and on the nation.
