A libertarian paradise!

Schumer now says Trump "said he'd keep the government closed for a very long period of time -- months or even YEARS."

He said, sobbing, as he stormed up to his bedroom

can't get voted out of office if there's no government

"also I HATE YOU!" [door slams]

Calvin Coolidge's dream!

Can't wait until people realize that means they won't be getting their tax refunds.

The Coulter/Jimmie Walker possible coupledom is the most interesting thing about her.

During the Nixon years of the Vietnam war there was a theory floating around that he was trying to convince the North Vietnamese he was crazy enough to nuke Hanoi, but only as a subtle negotiating tactic in order to drive a harder bargain at the Paris peace talks, iow Nixon was 'crazy like a fox'. As it turned out, the North Vietnamese called his bluff, played Nixon like a fiddle, and won the war because they had a winning strategy and all Nixon had was his willingness to drop millions of tons of bombs indiscriminately, killing whoever was underneath them.

Trump's whole negotiating strategy seems very Nixonian in this regard.

dang I hadn't give much thought to AOC until now & wow she's hilarious & just what the Dems need for responding to the idiot party, while having actual values besides that sweet lobby cash à la Biden et al

Anyway Trump's rambling now.

xp yeah it's really neat how AOC went from "she sounds great but can't possibly win Crowley's district" to "awesome that she won but she's probably gonna tone it down" to the master troll w/ awesome policy goals that she is now

Can't wait until people realize that means they won't be getting their tax refunds.

I've already told my wife that if there's no government in April, we ain't filing. "Let 'em come and get us!" *stockpiles weapons and cans of soup*

Trump admits that a steel wall would be more expensive than a non-steel wall, but he says he probably wants to do a steel wall "because I really feel the other side feels better about it." (The other side does not feel substantially better about it.)

Y'all...

Mark Salter blocked me.

You horrid criminal.

In Rose Garden, Trump casually says former presidents have privately told him they should have built the wall.

At the end the syphilis had Capone thinking he was back in Brooklyn.

— Richard M. Nixon (@dick_nixon) January 4, 2019

What could Benjamin Harrison have told him??

I assume these 'former presidents' are nothing more than puppets crudely fashioned from the takeout containers piling up as he bums around the WH with nothing to do but eat and hallucinate.

I'll bet he thinks Col. Sanders is a former president.

well he didn't specify presidents of the united states now did he

he thinks Alexander Hamilton is a president cuz he saw his face on a bill once

Hooray!

"I did say that. Absolutely," Trump says, when Major Garrett asks if he threatened a shutdown of "months or even years," as Schumer recounted.

As for Ann, Ben Garrison is ON THE CASE

Wm.Henry Harrison to Trump: "What you think 33 in the Glock is for?"

Now there's a deep callback.

i've been online too long ned, i've seen too much

Trump is now talking about "the military version of eminent domain" to build the wall

— Ben Jacobs (@Bencjacobs) January 4, 2019

Aw.

Asked if he'd ask landlords to go easy on federal workers not getting paid right now, Trump says, "I think they will...I think that happens. Hey, I've been a landlord for a long time...they work with people." Pressed, he eventually says he would indeed tell them to go easy.

— Daniel Dale (@ddale8) January 4, 2019

Please please please when the time comes can we indulge his nigh-erotic obsession with walls and give him the 'Black Cat'-ing he so clearly desires?

It's about time the United States invaded Texas and seized their land

Jade Helm redux

but this time a (slight?) majority of texans would be all "invade me, Daddy"

Trump's executive order to tell Landlords that they are required to maybe consider possibly being lenient on rent payments from federal employees, y'know, if they can.

giving Texas back to Mexico would probably solve a lot of this nation's problems tbh

Landlords are ime total bros who absolutely have the best interests of their tenants at heart. Caring about people is why they got into the game. Why just look at our president.

i know some landlords that treat the tenants fucking great but they have fucking mortgages to pay too .

sorry for the overuse of the f words . this is just too much for me today. im out

xpost Oh, I know there are some good ones but again ime they've been massive shitwipes almost to a number.

He didn't really issue that E.O.

I feel like there was once a major #SCOTUS case in which the President seized property within the United States during what he claimed was a national emergency even though Congress hadn't authorized him to do so.
