SHUTDOWN DAY 11: President Trump Is Not Falling For Nancy’s Shenanigans
Big League Politics ^ | Jan 1, 2019 | Patrick Howley

Posted on 01/01/2019 12:37:33 PM PST by E. Pluribus Unum

ShareTweet Did you people really think you could pull a fast one on President Donald Trump?

Our president has been winning negotiations his entire life (read: “The Art of the Deal”). Did you, Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer, think he was going to back away from the Wall just because you introduce some pathetic bills that do not include Wall funding?

President Trump got out ahead of the dirty Democrats’ sneak plays, making it clear through his own tweets, through his White House consigliere Mick Mulvaney, through his Freedom Caucus ally Mark Meadows, and through Mitch McConnell’s spokesman that he would not sign any bills that did not fund his Wall. They tried to sneak through Sheila Jackson-Lee’s bill to block Wall funding, disingenuously named the “Protect American Taxpayers and Secure Border Act,” without telling anyone. But that plan was exposed. So Pelosi had to appeal to the public.

Pelosi, 78, predictably tried to pitch her “package” of non-Wall bills to the Associated Press, because the clueless Democrats still think the mainstream media is an effective tool to create PR spin for their stupid objectives. It’s not. The American people hate the mainstream media. By the time news circulated of the Democrats’ bills, which they presumably still plan to pass on Thursday, the Republicans had already made them irrelevant.

The American people hate the mainstream media.

Yep, or as it is common referred to these days, the Propaganda Wing of the DNC.

It’s fascinating that they felt the need to defend themselves from the label “soft on border security”. I thought they were proud of it.

During the Obama regime, Rush called it the “State Run Media.” More correctly these days, it would be the “Democrat Run Media.”

The next two years with nutcase Democrat Congresswoman, Nancy Pelosi as Majority House Leader and weak sister Senator, Chuck Schumer as Democrat leader of the Senate, is going to be a once in lifetime “Chinese Fire Drill” (No pun intended to Chinese folks at all)!!!

Add to that brew of buffoon, lunatics...495+ Democrat low life, unqualified to be garbage collectors, candidates running for POTUS. You got a preview of a POTUS candidate with, lack of “ANY” Smarts, Talent & Capability yesterday from that Democrat, loose end Witch, Senator, Elizabeth Warren. Gotta admit...folks, I am “LMAO”!!!

That Wednesday meeting with POTUS, Trump should be something to behold...if the Democrats even show up for it!!! Bring it on, Trumpie!!! All the cards are in your hands. Forget the “Fake News & the Democrat Rant, Raves and Babble” POTUS, Trump, tell ‘em, “you all changed your mind and now are demanding Ten Billion dollars for the Border Wall. Screw, these idiots!!!

Thank goodness for Reader View. I can use it on a click bait site like BLP and instantly, with one click, it completely removes all the trash and gives me just the text. Nicely formatted too.

Regarding the article, Patrick Howley tells the truth. Most Americans have a true dislike of the MSM and Libs in general. Gotta love the last paragraph:

Preach it Patrick!

All of those budget negotiations last year literally paid.. for Democrats.. dollars dont lie.
I am sure gifting Mexico n central America with 10 billion additional dollars will pay too.. with anither caravan of 15 Thousand. Who is benefiting??

.....they felt the need to defend themselves from being “soft on border security”. I thought they were proud of it.

Good point------shows up the Demos hidden agenda....to sow confusion among the electorate.

POINTS TO PONDER-—According to Prof Jonathan Turley, hating Trump has the Democrats remaking themselves.
In order to “Get-Trump,” Dems are making dizzying u-turns on their most revered positions (picture The Exorcist's satanic revolving head to get an idea of he Dems' frantic side-switching).

<><>Turley observed that the sap-happy soft-on-crime Democrats have even embraced expanding definitions of crimes
like obstruction, conspiracy, and the like. Democrats have resisted efforts to criminalize broader and broader
areas of conduct, and now sound like legal hawks in demanding criminal charges for conduct long treated as civil
matters, such as campaign finance violations and foreign agent registration violations.

<><> Demos have heretofore looked askance at America’s endless wars but are now triggered by Trump’s exit from
Syria and once rejected the premise that we should engage in continual wars in other countries or face
terrorism on our streets at home.

<><> Still in the sick throes of her Russian obsession, Pelosi said the exit was a “Christmas gift to Putin.” Sen.Tim Kaine (Hillary's VP), Rep. David Cicilline and others called it “irresponsible” or “hasty.” Forgetting that the “hasty” move is after seven years of intervention in the civil war, including personnel on the ground since 2012.
Democrats now espouse the same lines they once denounced during the Bush administration

<><> Uber Trump-hater Morning Joe Scarborough sounding like the Republicanism he recently denounced says Trump failed to
understand we must fight “enemies like ISIS abroad, so we do not have to fight them in our own schools, churches and airports.”

FOREGONE CONCLUSION Trump is in the catbird seat——he can easily trigger the hate-filled Dems on the border issue-—
take a position that forces Demos to support border security that goes against everything they say thy stand for.

During the Obama regime, Rush called it the “State Run Media.” More correctly these days, it would be the “Democrat Run Media.”
The rules of successful commercial journalism - “If it bleeds, it leads,” “Man Bites Dog not Dog Bites Man,” and “There’s nothing more worthless than yesterday’s newspaper” effectively filter out historical perspective.

Consequently journalism is inherently hostile to conservatism.

Journalists and Democrats are a lot alike, and it’s no mistake that there is a revolving door between “Democrat” and “journalist.” Journalism produces an anti conservative propaganda wind - and if the Democrat Party did not exploit it, another party would inevitably arise to do it.

Democrats are engaged in a massive criminal conspiracy, aiding and abetting human trafficking, violating
immigration law, acquiring power with voter fraud, election fixing, vote harvesting, brendasnipesing elections, etc.....

Democrats are a clear and present danger to us all, not an authentic political party,
but an invading force waging war on a peaceful people. So just what is a Democrat?

<><> the party of weaponized political activity,

<><> who hate and denigrate America.

<><> who put killer illegals before innocents like Cpl Singh, Kate Steinle, Mollie Tibbets,

<><> who elevate the lives of savage gangs like MS-13 above the lives of Americans.

<><> who foisted on our Nation a Muslim foreigner who hated America.

<><> who hang on to flawed leaders Bill, Hillary, Nancy.

<><> who believe transsexual cakes are more important than a thriving U.S. economy.

<><> who believe plastic straws are the enemy.

<><> who believe what’s wrong with America can best be solved with more convicts voting.

<><> who “celebrate” abortion for convenience.

<><> who smile on PP weinsteining K-12 school children into fodder for pedophiles.

<><> who cheer the destruction of American heritage and its monuments.

<><> who deplore Christian values.

<><> who openly support the legalization of sexual perversions.

<><> who openly sow the culture with confusion.

<><> who worship abortion and all of its butchery. //// Another vindictive Demorat scheme, pinning their hopes on the Mueller findings, that the report will be so damning,
Republicans will rise up and vote the president out office (Demos dont have the votes to impeach--smirk).

First they stole power----getting Congressional seats by the reprehensible practice of "vote harvesting,"

Now the sap-happy Dems are "crime harvesting" looking for crimes they hope will get them back into the WH.

Agree 100% very well put, as usual. Did you read this on American Thinker a couple days ago?

Thanks for the link. I think Prof Turley glommed onto something big------
the Dems taking positions b/c they hate Trump---not to better the culture.

Quit Nancy, you’re too old to try to be legislating. Go enjoy your millions and your home with a wall around it.
