"I’m not going to be distracted by, ‘Oh, does the guy have a big f–king hammer!?’ What about those babies!?"

"This guy wants to create a ballroom for his rich friends while completely turning a blind eye to the fact that babies are going to starve when the SNAP benefits end in just hours from now. Come on."


Eh. I don't believe she "lost it." She just delivered a mundane talking point. She got the memo: It's bad for Trump to spend a lot of money, even donated money, on the ballroom when the shutdown is about to dry up SNAP payments. 

I don't think peppering your speech with "fucking" means anything anymore... although... what about the babies?!! 

By the way, what percentage of those fed by SNAP are babies? I looked it up and got the answer 4.4%. Children of all ages make up 38.9%.

Nobody mentioned what seems obvious to me: the Democrats are adopting the Hamas/Palestine famine propaganda strategy used against Israel. I saw photos of dead babies everyday, especially at BBC. The Dem's are like Hamas, who exploited dead babies and wounded children for political purposes. Works every time, they think. Except the Democrats can pass the CR and avoid this "crisis." Still, the Dem's are counting on TDS (Trump Derangement Syndrome) just like the Palestinian activists count on antisemitism to win.

California cannot afford to pay or is incapable of maintaining fire fighting readiness.

New York displaced, replaced citizens with illegal aliens.

Martha's Vineyard shared, shiftied responsibility for its "burden"... uh, burden.

Democrats aborted, cannibalized, and redistributed the border wall as scrap while American civil liberties and lives were unBurdened... a wicked solution.

If he wanted the government to be open, he would open it. That’s how he rolls.

... to cries of, "He's an authoritarian!!"

Hey there lefties - you know, don't you, that if Trump suddenly decided he had the authority to release these funds, you'd be screaming about that? But while you'd sprain your pointer fingers jabbing the air and shrieking, "See? See?! We told you so!" you would of course add, "But at least the babies are getting fed." Right?

No?

No one is buying the talking point that Democrats shut down the government.

Well, that would certainly explain why Republicans are up 3-5 points since the shutdown started ....

If I had a big f-king hammer, I’d big f-king hammer in the morning. F-k, I’d big f-king hammer in the evening. All over.

Unlike Charles, Trump can't just force Senators to vote to reopen government. He was only a dictator for one day, and he's no king.

Will Democrats sacrifice babies, boys and girls, for political progress (PP) (pun intended)? There are diverse, Diverse precedents.

Right. How could anyone possibly believe such a thing?

"It sounds like Left Bank will believe anything that the DNC tells him to believe."

You're being unfair to the DNC, Maynard. It's not their fault Left Bank misunderstands what he was told, which was this: "No one with an IQ greater than 60 is buying the talking point that Democrats shut down the government."

Jaq said...

The Democrats think that they have found a loophole in Lincoln's maxim, they think that fooling some of the people all of the time will be enough.

Jake Tapper buys it

NJ Sen. Cory Booker (D) uses “fuck” in just about every public statement he makes. Way more than Kamala…

Bob Boyd said...

All Trump has to do is turn the sign around and unlock the door. It's no different than a pot shop.

Trump recommends the Senate end filibuster rules and approve the bill without the Democrats.

“BECAUSE OF THE FACT THAT THE DEMOCRATS HAVE GONE STONE COLD ‘CRAZY,’ THE CHOICE IS CLEAR — INITIATE THE ‘NUCLEAR OPTION,’ GET RID OF THE FILIBUSTER AND, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

Beasts of England said...

’Trump recommends the Senate end filibuster rules and approve the bill without the Democrats.’

Thanks for admitting that the Dems are the hold up.

Kamala is a partisan plucker.

Royal court is now in session, judicial kings and queens presiding. First order of business: off with his head!

Leland said...

Thanks for admitting that the Dems are the hold up.

I suspect that was the whole point of Trump's message. He clearly isn't the problem now. I doubt Republicans will do it, and I hope they don't. Dems want the filibuster nuked and they will be happy for Republicans to nuke it. Now, the message will be just that; Democrats want the force the nuking of the filibuster.

Did she actually say "[e]f-king"?

Left Bank of the Charles said...

No one is buying the talking point that Democrats shut down the government. It’s Trump. If he wanted the government to be open, he would open it. That’s how he rolls.

And left bank drops in to remind us how absolutely retarded the average democrat voter is.

Achilles said...

Howard said...

We'll see, Achilles. Kamala Harris is the worst spokesperson for this issue, jeopardizing the Democrats cause. But the ballroom, no matter whom is paying the bribes to curry favor with Trump to get it built, is closer to an 75/25 issue in favor of the Democratic party.

I don't mind your attempt to find the alternative line. But there is a problem with your reasoning.

Trump took ~$300mill in private donations to build improvements to the White House he will leave for future office holders.

Obama took ~$900 million in private donations to build a giant cement takeout box in the middle of one of the few nice places places in Chicago and is going to force the people of Chicago to pay taxes to maintain it.

The shit doesn't fly anymore. People have twitter now and you have to be a purposely shut in retard that only reads corporate media to buy this shit.

Mary Beth said...

Maybe Trump wants to hammer out danger, hammer out a warning, hammer out love between our brothers and our sisters, all over this land.

bagoh20 said...

Yes, it's true. When a leader of the Democrats makes a bald faced lie it really has become "mundane". Also downplaying the degree of deception has also. Great Job!

""No one is buying the talking point that Democrats shut down the government."

‘I live in a rather special world. I only know one person who voted for Nixon. Where they are I don’t know. They’re outside my ken. But sometimes when I’m in a theater I can feel them.'”

The average Democrat knows zero people who voted for Trump or even watch Fox News. They have no idea about the country they live in outside of their own enclave in the cities and their living rooms filled with CNN and MSNBC.

bagoh20 said...

How many people on SNAP lead respectable lives?
Respectable does not include refusing to work, working under the table, selling drugs, selling your ass or videos of it, or getting $100 manicures, or hair while your kids eat Hot Pockets 7 days a week and needing to meet a new man at breakfast every few weeks.

Joanne Jacobs said...

Republicans are using tariff money to fund WIC (Women Infants and Children) aid, which includes formula for babies. Food stamps go to both people on welfare and the working poor.

Big Mike said...

Harris said "This guy wants to create a ballroom for his rich friends….”

Which raises a question in my mind. Does Kamala Harris even know anybody who is not rich?

Curious George said...

"I suggested that AOC eyeing his Senate seat is more likely. Any other plausible explanations?" Nope. You got it.
