Body Language
WASHINGTON, DC – DECEMBER 11: U.S. President Donald Trump (2R) talks about border security with Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) (R) and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) as Vice President Mike Pence sits nearby in the Oval Office on December 11, 2018 in Washington, DC.

Chuck and Nancy backed him into a corner and Mike Pence took too much Lexapro this morning.
And hey, what’s with the ten terrorists who’ve been “caught.” Did he dream that?
I just wonder why Chuck and Nancy didn’t mention that Mexico is going to pay for the wall?
“Build a wall and Mexico will pay for it.” Wait … what????!
1Pence looks like his mouth has been sewn shut. Of course maybe it’s the formaldehyde. Rump always looks like he’s sitting on the John, even in a suit and tie.
Nancy baited Rump about shutting down the gov and he took it.
2That’s video that may get played frequently and GOP will have a hard time pinning it on the Dems .
Jane & PKM
Mexico already said flatly that they were not paying for the wall. Which means we the tax payers are going to pay for it, if Rump gets his way.
3Pence or a loaner from Madame Tussaud’s D.C.? Hard to tell.
4Why not take up a collection at the next hate rally? After all, the economy is doing really well. Orrin Hatch says so. Chanting “Build that wall!” is cheap — money talks.
5I just see Pence leaning away from the bombast, and Nancy saying, “Now hold on there, just a dang minute!”
6Papa, say it isn’t so! Donnie promised …
7It looks like someone forgot to turn the windup key in Pense’s back.
8i notice that tRump has one foot planted that would corral Pence. Also, Pence’s chair has been set back a little further than tRump’s. And Pence’s COS would not leave him for supposedly better pastures. I rather think that Pence’s COS was the guy who wrote that anonymous article about don’t worry there really are adults running things in the WH.I bet tRump thinks so to and was hoping to get the guy on his own turf and torture him. Just sayin’…
9ten terrorists
A lie.
But in what passes for Trump’s mind, an understatement. More than ten brown people have been detained. They’re brown, so they’re obviously terrorists, or would be if they got the chance. They’ve been detained, so they’ve been caught.
10I respond to Cult45-ers expounding on that stupid wall by asking if it’ll be high enough to stop airplanes and including this link https://www.nbcnews.com/news/latino/visa-overstays-outnumber-illegal-border-crossings-trend-expected-continue-n730216 . They slink away and never bother me again.
11@ marcia #8
Or his battery is down and he needs to be jumped.
12Lets don’t push Trump too hard on that Mexico Paying for the wall bs, because he — trump– is capable of doing the one thing that will allow him to demand Mexico pay it, and that is to start a war with Mexico.
Why won’t the Pres and his base just have big cake sale???
13That’s Pence, trying to blend into the furniture, holding very still, and going to his happy place in his mind.
14Heh, heh.
Pence was in the House while Pelosi was Speaker. Looks like VP knows what’s coming…
15In the old days the primary requirement was a veep candidate was his ability to fog a mirror. As with EVERY other qualification, the sitting vice-president fails miserably.
snacilbupeR must immediately begin offering candidates that are minimally, human beings.
16Why doesn’t the GOP just tell him the wall has been built – and for only $1000? He could then tell his stupid base that he built the bestest wall for way under price and brag at his continual rallies. They won’t know the difference anyway, since they usually don’t live in border states and have never actually met an immigrant.
BTW, kudos to Nancy and Chuck on how they worked him.
17Mike Pence is desperately trying to blend in with the wallpaper.
18Someone please make a gif of Pence as Elf on the Shelf.
19Since Trump doesn’t want a CoS who tells him what he can’t do, or what he must do, make Pence CoS.
20Cindy R google “mike pence as elf on a shelf.” There are a number of them, unfortunately none of them move.
21Anyone else catch his throwing out “military” as possible solution to building wall or not closing the government? What was that?
