Remember that shutdown Trump WILL have?

uhh...




If this is the 2020 plan there could be a problem for the GOP.

hm.. read that last week Trump signed into law that fed employees will get back pay after the shut down is over.

doesn't that screw over the people currently required to work while non-essentials are sitting at home?

Yes it does. What should happen is that those being forced to work during the shutdown should make time and a half. Reward those that are sacrificing to keep this country running while at the same time raising the stakes for Congress to do this sort of shit in the future.

"Great unity in the republican party" lol

Half of them think you're nuts and/or compromised by Putin, you poxy hostage-taking cockholster.

So much unity the fake president can't even staff his own White House. Hilarious.

It's the other way around. The people not working get vacation bonuses. They're all getting screwed no matter how we look at it.

Trump gets to claim the bigly-est shutdown ever. I'm sure Vlad is so proud of him, too.

Is that for real? I can't tell any more.

Its real, check out the rest of his tweets over the last 48 hours to see real crazy in action.

Among them is somehow the rationalization that because we're producing more oil it proves there was no collusion.

In 2018 demonizing immigrants and warning about the dire threat they posed to America worked so well that the GOP lost in one of the largest landslides in modern history so it makes perfect sense to keep doing that through 2020.

Is Trump making Angel Dust popular again?

Trump just said he’s ignoring Pelosi’s retraction to give the SOTU, and accepting her original invitation.

Pelosi should deny him access. It is within her authority to do so. Tip O'Neal sent Reagan back home once when he came to grandstand. It's not like the Secret Service are going to shoot their way in for Trump.

They have not actually passed the resolution that formally allows Trump to address a joint session of Congress. He may say he's giving it, but he can't do it there until they pass that resolution.

Well, I guess so

I could completely see Trump trying to cause a scene and force his way onto the House floor. At which point USCP should arrest him.

Wonder how many MAGAhats will show up that day to try and escort him into the chamber?

Not sure but nobody would make it into the building.

If Trump tried that, the impeachment vote would beat him to the door.

He would be cooling his heels in a USCP holding cell while they draft the articles.

Saw this yesterday............so damned true in many respects:

 

[zinfamous]

I know, but the scary thing is that in the age of Charlottsville and resurgent verified GOP neo-nazis, it is entirely possible that a large contingent of tiki-torch-wielding Trump supporters show up "in solidarity to enforce the will of the people" and attempt just such a thing. That is a possible thing. The absolutely certain thing is that this is exactly what Trump is hoping happens, because it makes for "good TV," and he imagines that it makes him out to be a hero.

Country be damned, because Trump needs his ratings. All it's ever been.

 

[Jhhnn]

Like I offered- just don't be there. Instruct the Capitol police not to let in any News crews or anybody not a member of the HOR. Trump can do any stupid thing he wants.

 

[Brainonska511]

Saw a good point about the shutdown earlier and the ridiculous characterizations of it: "if Trump reopened govt tomorrow without any strings attached, he would *not actually have surrendered anything or made any concessions.* Agreeing to stop hurting the country to get your way isn't a concession. "

More furlough news

Trump says he’ll give State of Union after shutdown ends:
https://wtop.com/government/2019/01/trump-wants-to-deliver-state-of-union-next-week-as-planned/

Following a high-stakes game of dare and double-dare, the president conceded that “no venue that can compete with the history, tradition and importance of the House Chamber” and that he was not looking for an alternate option after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi served notice earlier Wednesday that he won’t be allowed to deliver the address to a joint session of Congress next week.


wow.. never thought his ego would let him back down like this.
and to a woman!

I got a bad feeling Trump is about to do something even MORE stupid!!!
Gulp...

If the Senate passes the clean spending measure tomorrow it means McConnell won't be providing any more cover for the shutdown. Hell- he signaled that by letting it come to a vote.
