Is he right?

"Mitch McConnell got played like a fiddle with the vote today by the Senate Democrats," Trump wrote on Truth Social.
"First he gave them the fake Infrastructure Bill, then Guns, never used the Debt Ceiling for negotiating purposes (gave it away for NOTHING!), and now this," Trump said. "Mitch doesn’t have a clue — he is sooo bad for the Republican Party!"

I'd say McConnell got played by Manchin who was against all of this until Democrats got their way on a slew of other things. Once McConnell and the GOP had no more cards to play, Manchin flipped and agreed to another three quarters of a trillion in unnecessarily and poorly conceived spending. Spending that will be paid for by taxe increased felt by nearly all Americans at a time of economic woe. 

But make no mistake... McConnell did get played here.

Ch! Ch! Why do you KEEP TALKING ABOUT TRUMP?

But I LIKE to agree with Trump here.

Mitch got played.

Good! He is one of the most unprincipled people in politics, so he deserves it.

i would argue that Manchin was dishonest. Perhaps being dishonest as a politician doesn't carry the same weight as it does in normal relationships. I guess everyone expects politicians to lie.

But Manchin didn't lie to and play the GOP as much as he lied to and played his own constituents who (West Virginia) are largely against this bill in a pretty big way.

I expect Manchin might not run again. He has made himself into a man without a home right now just wandering around aimlessly pissing everyone off on a different day.

I would like to see West Virginians elect a real Democrat.

Speaking of Trump, Nixon kept Oval Office recordings, only a small portion of which (18 minutes) got erased.

Trump illegally dumped numerous (reams of?) government documents down White House toilets, as we learn from Maggie Haberman's latest book.

He also told his generals he wanted them to be more loyal like Hitler's.
(What his chief of staff then told him made me laugh.)

Reverend...

I saw the pictures of the toilet, Reverend. There were small scraps of papers with what appears to be names... the only one readable was "Rogers". We don't know that it was Trump who even scribbled the notes or what the notes were. For all we know Rogers was someone's fantasy football quarterback and the rest of the names were also football players. what we do know is that it was not a top secret document and there were not "reams" of it.

Please tell me you didn't fall for this hoax?

Nevermind. Maggie Haberman suggested it was true. She once got something right back in the 90s.

Yes, President Trump is right.

Socialist Democrats lied, and exploded the bill to 740 Billion.

I hate to say I told you so, but way back when when Manchin started playing his games that pissed off the left I told you then not to trust him.

Never trust a democrat to keep their word. EVER. Reagan learned this the hard way as did Bush 41.

Mitch got rolled. And America got fucked.

McConnell did not get played.

The Democrats crafted a bill that the arbiter ruled that the filibuster could not be used to stop passing the biggest and most important legislation in this century.

You really should read it all over


The four years of the Trump Presidency were characterized by a fantastical degree of instability: fits of rage, late-night Twitter storms, abrupt dismissals. At first, Trump, who had dodged the draft by claiming to have bone spurs, seemed enamored with being Commander-in-Chief and with the national-security officials he’d either appointed or inherited. But Trump’s love affair with “my generals” was brief, and in a statement for this article the former President confirmed how much he had soured on them over time. “These were very untalented people and once I realized it, I did not rely on them, I relied on the real generals and admirals within the system,” he said.

It turned out that the generals had rules, standards, and expertise, not blind loyalty. The President’s loud complaint to John Kelly one day was typical: “You fucking generals, why can’t you be like the German generals?”

Like Hitler πŸ‘

“Which generals?” Kelly asked.

“The German generals in World War II,” Trump responded.

This post is about Trump.

Roger actually believes that stuff he reads.


btw... there were literally four comments in a row about this same subject within a minute or two. He literally stated he would follow the rules like an hour ago and come back tomorrow... and then he cannot help himself with the crazy string of crazy posts about his Trump delusions right after.


This is an impulse control issue.

He's mentally ill. I'm completely convinced of it, and no one will ever get me to believe otherwise.

He has a better chance of hitting the Powerball than he does of ever getting the door code to his psychiatric hospital.

Well, since much has been said about this, I will share with you what I found funny:

According to the NYT, Trump told his generals he wanted them to be "totally loyal" like Hitler's generals were.

He even asked his chief of staff John Kelly, “Why can’t you be like the German generals?”

Kelly reminded Trump that Germany’s generals had “tried to kill Hitler three times and almost pulled it off.”

Kneeee slapping funny.

Here you go. Look at the photos and read the text about Trump "repeatedly" dumping documents down the toilet both at and away from the White House and make up your own minds.

Same photos I saw...

Looks like a single ripped up piece of paper Reverend

With the name "Rogers" shown on top... and what appears to be "Stephanie"


Does that seriously look like "reams of paper" in that toilet? Which is what you have been claiming?


Oh... not to mention. How can you even prove that it was Trump who did it?



So yeah, Reverend.

Let's all go to that picture. See how many see "reams of paper" stuffed down a toilet and how many see a ripped up piece of paper that says "Rogers"

Roger, damn it.
You promised not to name call and throw insults.
You also promised to not spam.

Honest, decent, truthful Rev. said...

When Trump asked his chief of staff John Kelly why his own generals were not as "totally loyal" to him as Hitler's generals had been to Hitler, Kelly reminded Trump that Germany's generals had tried three times to kill Hitler.

LOL LOL LOL

Honest, decent, truthful Rev. said...

Ch, being the honest person I am, I put "reams of" in parentheses with a question mark. (11:27)

And Trump's own staff said he was doing it.
Who else would dare destroy legally protected documents?

But do continue to excuse everything he did or does.

I read very quickly about both sides

In fact I find it more amusing to read right wing stuff like American Thinker and Redstate etc

I responded to an insult by Scott.
