As we all know, Trump painted himself into a corner two weeks ago, driving a stake in the ground over his stupid wall notion after being excoriated by RWNJs Ann Coulter and Rush Limbaugh for caving. He promised a wall to his mouth breathers, and, By God, he’s going to deliver. Nevermind that he also stupidly promised that Mexico was going to pay for it. While normal people laughed at such a ridiculous assertion, his base lapped it up, and now we find ourselves as Americans being held hostage for one of the most ridiculous self-inflicted crises in US history.
The irony, though, is that Trump did get his wall yesterday, and its name is Nancy Pelosi. Last November, after playing to his xenophobic base, he got trounced and lost 40 congressional seats, even in safely gerrymandered districts. These 40 new members were sworn in yesterday, and Pelosi started doing what she’s so good at – governing with an iron hand in a velvet glove. When she gets finished with Trump he won’t understand what hit him, and won’t even see it until after he’s been run over by her.
Trump’s hastily called non-press conference press conference during the swearing in ceremony yesterday was evidence that he’s unhappy that the attention had shifted from himself and that he’s clearly rattled as the ground under his feet has shifted against him. His baffling 8 minute nationally televised ramble was the first “press conference” of the year for him, and more amazing, the FIRST TIME he’s ever set foot in the WH briefing room. That’s correct – Trump’s been president for two years, and has NEVER been to the press room until yesterday.
Trump has recklessly careened head on into the wall named Nancy, and he’s going to learn just how hard and high she is. We all know that his time in the WH won’t end well, and we’ll soon learn how Pelosi is going to help him along to his final downfall.
Okay guys, I hear all the complaining about Nancy Pelosi being too old to be Speaker. She is 78 years old.
But I hear nobody question Steny Hoyer being elected House Majority Leader. Hoyer is 79 years old.
Hummmm ….
I loved her pink dress and her announcement that we will vote to open the government today.
I wish her only the best.
Poor Tucker Carlson, this whole Nancy Pelosi and women in congress thing has him in such despair.
Fox News host Tucker Carlson on Wednesday lamented about what his show’s chyron described as “men in decline.” During one segment, he claimed there was “more drug and alcohol abuse” and “higher incarceration rates” in areas where women earn more money than their male counterparts.
Carlson cited “facts” from an unnamed study claiming that women earning more money “causes a drop in marriage, a spike in out-of-wedlock births and all the familiar disasters that inevitably follow.”
It’s a damn disaster, y’all. Screw global warming, the real problem is women gaining equality.
Poor Tucker, the preppy white men are so discriminated against. It’s like their birthright doesn’t mean anything now.
Thanks to SGray for the heads up.
Okay, girlfriends, hike up those ta-tas a little higher today to celebrate that Washington Dee Cee and the State of Texas are both well on their way to where men are men and women are … in charge.
Be sure to watch the swearing in live and stand up when they swear Nancy in.
Okay, so everybody knows the GOP’s favorite whipping boy is the SNAP program, which is food stamps. Even though the majority of those funds either go to children, disabled adults under 60 years of age, or adults over 60 years of age, Republicans want to kill the program and thereby kill all the recipients.
Star Parker goes on Fox News and gives a great example of how things change under Trump. She talked about people who get SNAP benefits —
“These guys are not working. They’re watching. They’re watching porn, they’re watching TV, they’re watching women, they’re watching everything, but they’re not working. And this is what this initiative is attempting to do, is to get them back into their own lives so that they can prosper.”
Okay, first of all, if we won’t let people watch porn, how the hell is Donald Trump gonna get women to mattress thrash with? They’d all be unemployed and need food stamps, so this won’t help.
Second of all, go read that sentence out loud to yourself except replace the word “everything” with “Fox News” and bygawd, you’ve just defined Donald Trump.
Thanks to Phyllis for the heads up.
