Isn't Sarah Sanders quitting soon (possibly for a part in Mean Girls 3) or did I dream it?
 
Trumpty dumpty cried for a wall
Trumpty plumpty then had a great fall
The whole world cheered, it was a great day
As it was the end of the mushroom-knob fat orange khunt with a toupee
 
Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross...

Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross says he doesn't "really quite understand why" federal workers who have missed paychecks due to the partial government shutdown don't just take out loans to cover the gap.

When asked in a CNBC interview on Thursday about reports that federal workers are going to homeless shelters or seeking food assistance, the billionaire investor said: "Well, I know they are and I don't really quite understand why, because as I mentioned before, the obligations that they would undertake, say borrowing from a bank or a credit union, are in effect federally guaranteed, so the 30 days of pay that some people will be out is no real reason why they shouldn't be able to get a loan against it."
 
There’s a crazy stat along the lines of 80% of Americans wouldn’t have a spare 400 cash to hand if needed in an emergency. As Billy mentioned, this is completely down to people’s reliance on credit cards and overdrafts for short term needs instead of having at least a small bit of savings available immediately for something urgent.

Edit: It’s actually 40%, which is still a massive number.

That's more about mindset and lack of financial literacy.

Credit cards are the best source of funding if you know how to utilize it. In my country they had this online stores where they give away 0 percent 12 mths installment. I had a friend who sells me empty box so that i can draw out that 1000 with 0 percent on 12 mths. Not to mention the bonuses, discounts, and 45 days deferred payment from your billing cycle.

They just need to know that at the end of the day its money you dont have and not to abuse it.

And no minimum payment, the interest on that is close to 30 percent per annum incrementally. I'd simply draw out and pay them the full amount that way i get a reasonable interest.
 
What does it mean?

To cave in the context Trump used it means to “give up” or “back down”. MM is recognising that caves or “tunnels” for a better word are frequently used to import drugs into the US so the wall will be redundant.
 
“Great/State”. “Wall/Fall”.

At least the dementia hasn’t progressed enough to to prevent him from rhyming, so we have that going for us. Let’s keep an eye on him to ensure he retains object permanence though...
After watching a few documentaries I agree it's definitely dementia...

When he was younger he was the same cocky lying deceitful combative cnut, but his vocabulary was mildly impressive and he spoke a lot better.
 
No The Briefs fans here? Everytime is see those Trump tweets it reminds me of their song, We Americans.

we americans is dirty
we americans is positive
we dont know if we should be
we americans is cowboys
we americans love guns
aint no one can stop us
not even them injuns

so shoot the president
forget the national debt
it makes no difference to me
it dont effect my rent you see
and it has always been this way and it wont change
god bless the good old usa

We americans cant write
we americans dont read
and we dont want nobody
telling us what we need
cuz were better than that
and were better than this
and were better than everybody else
we got the dollars and we got the cents
and it has always been this way and it wont change
god bless the fecked up usa

You know you cant complain
we'll just wipe out the stains
we like to suck before we spit
we spray pain on the walls
cuz we love those shopping malls
all those purple track suits make me sick
thats it, we quit

we americans is stupid
we americans dont write
aint no one can stop us
cuz we do what we like

 
Unraveling

Republican senators clashed with one another and confronted Vice President Pence inside a private luncheon on Thursday, as anger hit a boiling point over the longest government shutdown in history.

“This is your fault,” Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) told Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) at one point, according to two Republicans who attended the lunch and witnessed the exchange.

“Are you suggesting I’m enjoying this?” McConnell snapped back, according to the people who attended the lunch.

Johnson spokesman Ben Voelkel confirmed the confrontation. He said Johnson was expressing frustration with the day’s proceedings — votes on dueling plans to reopen the government, both of which failed to advance.

Ah ok! Thanks ;)
 
Seems like their geographic targeting is all over the place.

sooo, they've halted flights into LaGuardia airport. That's going to upset a few.
