Funny thing is, that this is exactly what I expected

Pelosi - "No negotiations until the Government reopens"
Pelosi - "No negotiations until the Government reopens"
Pelosi - "No negotiations until the Government reopens"
Pelosi - "No negotiations until the Government reopens"
Pelosi - "No negotiations until the Government reopens"
Pelosi - "No negotiations until the Government reopens"
Pelosi - "No negotiations until the Government reopens"

Government reopens. Now what?

Pelosi - "No negotiations. I thought I had been clear on that."

The funny thing is that I doubt that anyone in either caucus actually believed that Pelosi and the Democrats would negotiate in good faith, even if the Government was reopened. But many "pretended" during the national debate that the offer to negotiate once the Government was reopened was a valid offer.

The truth is that people on the left who claimed this, knew that it would not cost them anything if the bluff was called and they fell back to "no negotiations".  The media is never going to take Trump's side against anyone for any reason. His being right or wrong play zero part in any of their reporting.

People like Mitt Romney and Lindsey Graham had to know that a temporary reopening of the government to "negotiate" would go nowhere, but probably figured it was a stop gap way of getting from point A to point B in a drawn out fashion. The difference between slowly peeling a bandaid off, or just ripping it off. Yeah, Romney declared that it was put up or shut up time. But I look for him to wilt like a 3 week old bouquet of flowers if the Democrats refuse to put up.

The question still becomes what happens in three weeks. Without a long term spending bill, the government goes right back into shutdown mode. Trump is learning (as we speak) that he got no credit for being the one to make a concession. In fact, most of the same people calling on him to make the concession for concession purposes, were the first to gloat that his concession was a personal loss to him. Pelosi is shoving this in his face every chance she gets. Largely because she believes that he will cave in three weeks too.

There is literally no reason to believe that if he agrees to sign a long term spending bill, that it will not weaken the President's position (with everyone) further. Even the idea of declaring a national emergency is not going to cut it. Because even if he ultimately wins in court (which he likely would if it got to the USSC) - people are still not going to report it as a win.

Honest journalists might be asking Pelosi and the Democrats today: "why take the chance that Trump will declare a national emergency, win in court, build the wall, and not be required to give anything in return? Wouldn't you be better off getting something in return (given the strong possibility that he can go around you to build it)?"

But our journalists today are not honest. Even if Trump gets his wall and the Democrats get nothing in return, they will figure out a way to report that it was still a loss for the President.

One thing that's under the radar is 40% of the voting public can safely be called Trump's base with only about 30% that strongly oppose him. That leaves a possibility of 30% more realistly 15% percent that can swing to trump.

The key I believe is the economy to continue to grow between now and reelection. He'll be in good shape if that happens.

So far no one has emerged on the Democrats that will remotely challenge.

(S) Today is Holocaust Remembrance Day. In 2016, a Twitter project sharing the story of some 900 Jews who fled Nazi Germany in 1939 on the MS St. Louis was started. The voyage became famous because it planned to stop in Cuba and then continue on in an attempt to gain entry into the United States, but was turned away—eventually leading to the deaths of 254 of the passengers.

Harris started her campaign in Iowa

That is where her "event" had more reporters than supporters.

She is well funded and had a good "announcement" event.

Coastal liberals and the media love her.

She will have trouble getting 40% of the votes outside the coasts and zero chance in the electoral college after a long presidential campaign.

She is as artificial as they come and has none of Obama's charisma.

and she has this:

A longtime senior aide to Sen. Kamala D. Harris (D-Calif.) resigned Wednesday amid allegations of sexual harassment while working for Harris during her tenure as attorney general of California.

The resignation of Larry Wallace, who served as director of the division of law enforcement in the California Department of Justice, came after the Sacramento Bee inquired about a $400,000 settlement reached in a lawsuit filed by Danielle Hartley, who served as Wallace’s assistant, against the state of California.

She was a disgrace during the Kavanaugh hearings also - She would be a great candidate for Republicans and ensure a Republican House in 2020

You're joking right? She was the senator out of central casting. It was pretty munch boilerplate Democrat pandering to their traditional special interest.

If that's the regular stump speech, it needs some work. It would help if she didn't cackle like a witch when she's nervous.

So far, unimpressive.

Kamala Harris Jumps to the Front of the 2020 Pack
January 27, 2019

“Even before Kamala Harris’ campaign launch in Oakland on Sunday, her nascent 2020 bid had already hit full gallop — a star turn on Good Morning America, a self-reported seven-figure fundraising milestone, a friendly reception in a key primary state,” the Los Angeles Times reports.

“With that fast start, Harris has stoked a perception that she is not just an elite candidate, but among the Democratic front-runners — a designation that is loaded with both upside and danger in this very early stage of presidential jockeying.

“The California senator and her campaign strategists aren’t yet declaring her the favorite. But her days-long debut, crafted for maximum impact, showed a desire to make a big and early splash.”

“We are not even into February and the cost of illegal immigration so far this year is $18,959,495,168. Cost Friday was $603,331,392,” Trump tweeted. “There are at least 25,772,342 illegal aliens, not the 11,000,000 that have been reported for years, in our Country. So ridiculous! DHS.”


He didn’t say where he got those numbers.

Coldheartedtruth Teller said...

Even Fox "News" reported that the President pulled the number out of his ass. The same place that Scott gets his opinions.


The president kept up the case for the wall on social media, tweeting: "BUILD A WALL & CRIME WILL FALL!" On Sunday morning, he pegged the number of illegal immigrants at "25,772,342 ... not the 11,000,000 that have been reported for years." Trump also tweeted that the cost of illegal immigration so far this year was nearly $19 billion. He did not cite a source for either figure.

"I'm not exactly sure where the President got that number this morning," Mulvaney told "Face The Nation." "But I think what you see him trying to do is point out how silly this debate is. This is not that much money in the greater scheme of things the United States of America ... This should have been resolved a long time ago, and we do hope it gets resolved in the next twenty-one days."

Trump and His Associates
Had More Than 100
Contacts With Russians
Before the Inauguration
By KAREN YOURISH and LARRY BUCHANAN JAN. 26, 2019

During the 2016 presidential campaign and transition, Donald J. Trump and at least 17 campaign officials and advisers had contacts with Russian nationals and WikiLeaks, or their intermediaries, a New York Times analysis has found. At least 10 other associates were told about interactions but did not have any themselves.

Knowledge of these interactions is based on New York Times reporting, documents submitted to Congress, and court records and accusations related to the special counsel investigating foreign interference in the election.

I have not been talking with the Russians!!!!!!!

No. Biden is ahead in the polls, but I don't think that the Democrats shouldn't keep nominating baby boomers. It's time to move on.

The party is moving toward the left, and if the right candidate is able to get past the propaganda that will claim that he or she is a socialist.

Trump Won because Hillary was a horrible candidate. Plain and simple. As candidate, she was lazy, dishonest, elitist, entitled and generally irritating. Many Obama dems refused to vote for her.

Coldheartedtruth Teller said...

My new favorite hottie made an appearance on comedian Bill Maher's show, where she continued to criticize the president for backing down on his demands for a border wall in order to reopen the government for three weeks.

"Look, it's crazy that I expect a president to keep a promise he made every day for 18 months," Coulter quipped to Maher.



She also appeared on Los Angeles radio station KNX, where said there was "no question" that House Majority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) outmaneuvered Trump on the border negotiations.

Coulter has been one of the media's most vocal supporters of Trump's proposed border wall, and has warned the president repeatedly that he could lose in 2020 if he fails to follow through on his promise.

Trump, for his part, apparently unfollowed Coulter on Twitter in December shortly after she said she wouldn't support his reelection without a deal on a wall.

Clinton was a terrible candidate. A good candidate would have kicked his ass.

KABUL, Afghanistan — American and Taliban officials have agreed in principle to the framework of a peace deal in which the insurgents guarantee to prevent Afghan territory from being used by terrorists, and that could lead to a full pullout of American troops in return for a cease-fire and Taliban talks with the Afghan government, the chief United States negotiator said Monday.

“We have a draft of the framework that has to be fleshed out before it becomes an agreement,” the American envoy, Zalmay Khalilzad, said in an interview with The New York Times in Kabul. “The Taliban have committed, to our satisfaction, to do what is necessary that would prevent Afghanistan from ever becoming a platform for international terrorist groups or individuals.”

He added: “We felt enough confidence that we said we need to get this fleshed out, and details need to be worked out.”

Sure goat fucker....


House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., has President Donald Trump to thank for a remarkable shift in public opinion in her favor. “Pelosi’s favorability rating has increased by eight percentage points since Election Day in Civiqs’s tracking polls,” The Post reports. Thanks to a surge in her Gallup poll numbers, “Pelosi is now more popular in Gallup polls than she has been in a decade.” Pelosi is up strongly among Democrats but also shows gains with independents (up eight points in the Civiqs survey).

Trump’s polling numbers are down in virtually every public poll taken since the shutdown. The NPR-PBS NewsHour-Marist poll has even worse news:

• 57 percent of registered voters said they would definitely vote against Trump, according to the latest poll from the PBS NewsHour, NPR and Marist.

Actually Rassmussen is signaling some trouble for the president. Of the 45% who approve of Trump's performance only 33% strongly approve. Of the 54% who disapprove 46% strongly disapprove.

As it stands, he can only move at most 9% of the electorate more likely that would be 4%.

Of course there are couple cavities to these polls. One being there is no named opponent yet. That would make a diffrence.

Coldheartedtruth Teller said...

Two years into Donald Trump’s presidency and after a month-plus partial shutdown, a wide deficit of confidence marks public views of the government in Washington: Americans give poor marks to Trump’s work across a range of issues – yet broadly mistrust the opposition as well.

Only 35 percent in this ABC News/Washington Post poll express confidence in Trump to make the right decisions for the country’s future; 64 percent don’t trust him in this central task.
