Who’s He Talking To? More Importantly, Who Would Talk to Him?
Trump says that most federal employees want the shut down.
“Many of those workers have said to me, communicated, stay out until you get the funding for the wall,” Trump told reporters on Christmas day. “These federal workers want the wall.”
Maybe federal workers in another country, but not this one.
About 71 percent of federal workers oppose the shutdown …
And …
About 30 percent of federal workers support a wall, though 35 percent of those individuals say the means of a shutdown do not justify the ends.
What this means is that you’ve got Jim Bob and Lester working for the Department of Agriculture in Vance, Alabama (yeah well, they never heard of you either) enjoying the time off while Ethel and Brenda take a second job to pay for the beer. Trump talked to them because they speak Trump. In fact, they’ve been researching the back of hunting magazines for ads where you can get yourself one of them foreign wives who knows to shuddup and do what a man says because Brenda whining all the damn time about that second job is getting real old.
So now you’ve got government by Trump, Jim Bob, and Lester. Oh yeah, and Mitch McConnell.
Thanks to Chloe Bear for the heads up.
Trump’s pulling it out of his ass again as usual. As Mary McCarthy said of Lillian Hellman, “Every word she writes is a lie, including ‘and’ and ‘the’.”
1We are watching Patton on the electric tv.
To paraphrase Patton, referring to the Wehrmacht soldiers, “We’re going to hold onto him by the nose and we’re going to kick him in the ass.”
Also Patton commented therein on the sitting President’s The Wall,
2“If mountain ranges and oceans can be overcome, then anything built by man can be overcome. Fixed fortifications are monuments to man’s stupidity.”
And don’t forget the blonde bimbos of FOX “News”. They also make foreign policy, apparently.
3Anyone supporting the WALL is demonstrating just how st00pid people can be without really trying.
4The ***king moron is so rattled that he can’t distinguish between the voices coming from inside his head and Stephen Miller talking in his collocated colluding rear.
Can you hear me Donnie? When the check from Mexico clears the bank, then you can yammer about your convoluted wall. Until then take a message from we the taxpayers: we ain’t paying for your folly.

5I suppose the same federal workers that support the wall also support no pay raise in 2019?
6Trump Wall has a nice ring to it. What shall we call the wall along the northern border?
Frederick Line is an option.
7@Grandma Ada ….. You summed it up in one excellent question.
8Look, if tRump wants a wall so damn bad, he can pay for it. he’s a multi-zillionaire and all that, with a real business acumen and a knack for building.
So let’s get going Donnie!
9Many federal workers said to keep them out of work until he can get his wall.
How many?
Many.
Just noticed that word looks really stupid by itself, much like the lonely person on New Year’s Eve who tweeted it.
10NicaBrian: “Many” will fall into the same wordsock that Trump dips into whenever he want to say … anything….It is in the same category as “People are saying”, and “Did you know” … and of course “Thoughts and Prayers”. I use the term wordsock alluding to the little bag of letter tiles in Scrabble, just grab some phrase or meme and try to make some sense out of it.
11Maybe its just me but why do I have a feeling that something else re:tRump is about to drop, such as the identity of the subject of that nude photo that was found among certain papers recently? and mainstream media, exercising their rights, will print it on the front page – maybe even the full page – with an identifying caption.
12Linda Phipps –
Good analogy. Trump has a rack of all consonants. I think the only word you can spell that way is “syzygy”. And that’s only because the y’s are fungible and can be used as vowels.

14Micr – my bad for not considering the other Y words.
If we eliminate them, we’re left with some onomatopoeia, like “psst” and “brr”. And a few Welsh words, like “crwth”.
15if according to the emperor who has no clothes, 29 % of federal employees are ok with the wall why pay them? use the savings to pay for the wall
