The Trump Presidency | Biden Inaugurated

[Maagge]

It's also the whole delivery: he sounds like he's about to drop some profound bombshell but then completely craps the bed.

 

[villain]

Always a tweet etc (loads in this case)

To be fair, this one tweet can be applied to literally every few days of his presidency - that’s just how fecked it all is.

 

[Santi_Mesut_Alexis_87]

Guess i don't remember it!

 

[senorgregster]

Not to be the party pooper but do you think he was meant to say torn instead of born? Turns it into the perfect Pence speech with that tweak.

 

[shabadu84]

I think he will come out of it well...
Essentially the manuchi won't be discussed... it's just going to be him tweeting #schumershutdown and no wall no deal or dems shut down services to Americans to protect illegal immigrants.
He's gonna control the narative and he knows it

The simplest narrative is that the GOP is in control of everything and it happened on their watch. That will be the biggest takeaway, regardless of the spin. Hopefully there's political fallout as a result.

He was according to the BBC. The White House had to correct him

Is that even right though? I'm unsure of any Abortion law that allows you to "rip" a baby out in the 9th month i.e basically giving birth, i always thought it was before the 3rd trimester? Unless of course Health Complications and the like even then i'm sure that's a cesarean.

It's more commonly known as a C-section tbf. But come on, he's not a rocket scientists, you can't expect him to know what that is.

Meh 60 votes needed... only 51 reps regardless of if they all voted for it the spin will be... DEMS put illegals ahead of Americans.. .. #maga... build the wall etc

........Donald??

Also, you can only laugh at this kind of shite.

Unfortunately I don't have that much cash to spend on porn stars

I understand that Manchin's situation is dicey with a state that voted for Donald Trump, but what is the idea behind this vote? Either way, it seems the shutdown is a foregone conclusion and what's the point of a show vote for funding the government? At least, if you have to die, die with your party.

Red state dems face tough election races, so they have to be seen as though they can work with Trump and the GOP on certain things. Manchin will need the votes of those who lean Republican to get reelected.

 

[Drifter]

Hope he was just trying to calm the man baby down. Because this would not go down well with his base at all.

 

[Fergies Gum]

 

[MoBeats]

This should provide the final nail in the coffin of any support the republicans have in any future elections. It wont of course.

 

[golden_blunder]

Can someone explain this shutdown thing to me, as a non yank I don’t get it

 

[fishfingers15]

Government doesn't have any money. They we're running on interim spending bills since September but now Dems voted against an interim funding

Do any other democracies have something like this? I don't understand the benefit.

 

[Ubik]

Do any other democracies have something like this? I don't understand the benefit.

In parliamentary democracies it would tend to result in a general election, but the US system is basically one of regimented chaos these days.

 

[Raoul]

Good God.

 

[Drifter]

According to CNN ,WH are shutting down anti Trump rallies.

 

[Precaution]

Just like one big Reality TV Show, hope it gets cancelled.

 

[Fergies Gum]

They're not. If you see the CNN banner, it has a colon inbetween.

GOVERNMENT SHUTS DOWN; ANTI TRUMP RALLIES NATIONWIDE

Its pretty misleading though for CNN to phrase it like that.

 

[Raoul]

CNN are not making it any easier on themselves. I'm sure the Trump fans will claim this is another example of fake news.

 

[Suedesi]

Urgh

 

[Wednesday at Stoke]

This guy...

I think many have legislation that requires certain percentage of votes... but most countries are not set up with only 2 political parties whereby party politics seems to be too engrained for real collaboration

 

[senorgregster]

I can't tell if he's trolling or believes they March FOR him

 

[shabadu84]

He should have just continued on as one of the history's great trolls. The current situation is the worst case for him

 

[Precaution]

I'm sure all the women would love to march for all the rights he has or is trying to take away from them, all praise the Donald.

 

[Pexbo]

They're not. If you see the CNN banner, it has a colon inbetween.

Believe or not, that "colon" is your president.

 

[SteveJ]

Well he's certainly full of 'it' too.

 

[Fergies Gum]

This is just ridiculous. Kushner has been given access to the "Presidential Daily Brief", which contains highly classified and top secret information.

Also worth noting he still hasn't been given a security clearance because of his lies and dodgy behaviour.

 

[Santi_Mesut_Alexis_87]

This guy...

fecking hell! Is he for real?

 

[Cheesy]

Literally only there because he's married to Trump's ex.

He has an interim clearance. The full adjudication of his final clearance is apparently being delayed because of all his legal drama.

Anyone see Bill Maher last night? He had Micheal Wolff on and he said there was something really big that he left out of the book. Maher asked if it was about Trump having a current affair with someone and he said yes but that it was so explosive that he couldn't put it in without absolute proof but that it was hinted at in the book.
