AP FACT CHECK: Democrats put the blame for the shutdown on Trump. But it takes two to tango. Trump's demand for $5.7 billion for his border wall is one reason for the budget impasse. The Democrats refusal to approve the money is another. https://t.co/9IWnqUgl2d— AP Politics (@AP_Politics) January 9, 2019

She is not "being put in" or "getting the chance for the spotlight." She is actively seeking it. Good for her. I usually don't care for shameless self-promoters. But like I said earlier, if she wants to be the Megan Rapinoe of this Congress, fine. She just needs to score some goals.
This. AOC is untested. Good to see she's pursuing the limelight. Now she's got to get something done. If she's Bernie, puttering through with crap bills that go nowhere, I've got no time for her. If she's Nancy Pelosi, who shepherded through the largest government program in fifty years, she's my new hero.

Russia coopted a village idiot and installed him to the presidency to do their bidding and return them to a superpower.

But it takes two to tango. Gruber's demand for $640 million bearer bonds is one reason for the standoff.

The idiot chinless wonder has thoughts. POLITICS 01/09/2019 02:54 am ET Donald Trump Jr. Says Border Wall Is Like A Zoo Fence Protecting You From Animals Critics slammed the president’s son over the Instagram message. By Ed Mazza Donald Trump Jr. is getting called out for an Instagram message he posted that compared the proposed border wall to a zoo fence. “You know why you can enjoy a day at the zoo?” the son of President Donald Trump wrote in an Instagram story on Tuesday night. “Because walls work.” Trump, who in the past has compared immigrants to a bowl of Skittles in which some of the candies were poisoned, was quickly slammed on social media:
Give the Trumps credit, there's no more hiding behind dog whistles. Voting Republican at the national level means supporting racism. No ifs, ands, or buts.
No, you can't enjoy a day at the National Zoo because your father is acting like a toddler and shut down the government to try and bully his way to his wall.
This is good. If I understand the protocol, Trump now owes each of us $130,000 for enduring nine minutes of his boring fuckery.— The Hoarse Whisperer (@TheRealHoarse) January 9, 2019

Anyone surprised? Two devastating reports in the WaPo detail the horrifying scope of their ignorance.

Well, we knew that. He's not the nation's President. He's his voters' President. The rest of the country can die in a fire, as a notable Oklahoman likes to say.
