No Paper News ^ | Jan 4, 2018

.@RepCheri Bustos says the border wall has become “nothing more than a symbol,” but notes that “in the end, we might have to give or take a little bit. It’s just the way the world works.

Who’s Cheri Bustos? An interesting character, if you’re unfamiliar. Fun facts about her:

— She’s the new chair of the DCCC, the committee charged with helping to elect Democratic candidates to the House in 2020. The DCCC chair is also the fifth-highest-ranking member of the caucus. This isn’t some rando floating compromise with Trump on CNN. This is the leadership.

— She’s a Pelosi rival. In fact, no Democrat besides Nancy herself got as many floor votes for Speaker yesterday as Bustos did — only four, to be sure, but it shows that there’s already a constituency for her within the caucus. “Mrs. Bustos‘ fans in the Democrat caucus — many more than four — say she’s poised to someday ascend to speaker,” the Washington Times noted today.

Let me guess.

Everyone else gives and the dems take.

Seems that’s their idea of *bipartisan*.

For Dems, “Give and Take” means “you give us Dems everything we want and then we’ll take it.”

No thank you.

The Dems OWN the shutdown, and the sticking point is that they want open borders (and crime, drugs, disease, and the dissolution of our culture).

We give nothing.

At all.

He’s already given 4/5 of his original wall request. When do the Dims give?

I don’t like any Democrats. Their lack of common sense is a deal breaker for me.

Former ABC news anchor Howard K. Smith once said it best: “what’s mine is mine, what’s yours is negotiable.” If anyone on that network said it today, he would be fired.

Democrats and media know Trump is doing a good job. They can only promote hatred and opposition to anything Trump. Parts of the Dem. Party want Socialism. Soros backs the Dems. to promote Socialism.

Problem solved.

She’s my rep and I have to say I think the authors perception is accurate. She does a very good job of the “retail politics” stuff - working shifts at various companies, hanging out in the grocery store on weekends, doing the meet and greet. Very likable to the average nonpolitical person. She beat a Tea Party one-termer who argued about who was more conservative and didn’t get anything done, and given the sad state of IL Republicans, probably has the seat as long has she wants it.

Yup. They want Trump to give and they’ll take. Dem compromise.

Who’s Cheri Bustos? …
Yet another Dem politician who looks like she casts black magic spells in her off time.

Yeah, they don’t actually need the warm bodies to vote now that they can print/harvest as many as needed.
