I think they were trolling.

The Disney animatronic RBG is probably just about ready.

I take it that she acted on order of the Russian intelligence service.

Well, the shut down is over for now, hopefully we'll see if they can work something out over border security.

Highly doubtful, I think the democrats have figured out that if nothing gets done nobody will be voting for republicans ever again. Too bad the republicans didn't figure that out about six months ago. :loser:

CNN's first words were "Trump caved in", but I think Trump is a wheeler dealer and a sharp con man salesman that is up to something knowing full well that he is dealing with a woman psychopath that hates Trump and loves power.

Pelosi said not one dollar for the wall and she means it ... Trump may very well call this a National emergency if the democrat's don't come up with a solution. He doesn't have to have the whole 5.7 billion dollars all at once. He has already said he hopes to work out a friendly solution of a yearly budget for the wall.

I still think Trump will win in 2020 no matter who runs against him and then turn the WH over to VP Mike Pence (why is yet to be determined)

PS Glad Platapus and the other gov employees are going to finally get paid ... Maybe they will learn to keep a couple of paychecks in the savings account from now on.

You surprise me but that works both ways. I'm going to say this shut down was huge, biggest ever, just to be mean, but did Trump just blink, or have I missed something?

Trump may very well have just aced this. No matter what the President promises, it is Congress that holds the purse strings. Trump lets the shutdown go. Pelosi says no money. Suddenly the situation is that Trump is keeping his promise, but Congress is refusing to pay for it. He now looks very good and they are the bad guys who refused to cooperate. Never mind whether that's true or not. When dealing with the voting public perception is everything.

No, Donald didn't blink. How could you ever think you could make a deal with 2 of the most intelligent Democrats that this country has ever produced ?

Gorpet · 01-25-19, 11:19 PM

Longtime Trump adviser Roger Stone indicted by special counsel in Russia investigation

Quote:

Special counsel Robert S. Mueller III unveiled criminal charges Friday against Roger Stone, a longtime friend of President Trump’s, accusing him of lying, obstruction and witness tampering in one of the longest legal sagas of the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election.

Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock.

Did Trump blink? Perhaps but...

Trump doesn't get wall funding (yet) but what did the Dems get out of all this pain? Some pretty good offers were put on the table and all were rejected. Opportunity lost? We'll see.

Tick tock indeed.

Roger Stone is a slimy character without doubt but this indictment is not the big surprise the MSM is hyping it to be. Stone himself predicted and was waiting for it to happen.

Quote:

...Stone’s alleged crimes all occurred after the investigation of Trump for colluding with Russians had begun, just as the process crimes of General Michael Flynn and George Papadopoulos did.

And most importantly, there is exonerating evidence in the indictment itself. If Trump or a member of his team had colluded with the Russians, there would have been no need to find out what damaging information Wikileaks had found out about Hillary Clinton.

Once again Mueller gets what he wants. A dramatic arrest of a Trump associate that looks good on CNN and makes TDS victims drool. Stone is a really bad guy who has to be arrested by a SWAT team when a call to his lawyer would have accomplished the same thing. If Stone was a flight risk or a dangerous character why was he almost immediately released with just a signed promise of bail money?

Quote:

This arrest was a political stunt set up by the Mueller team and carried out by an FBI which has become so politicized, it bears no resemblance to the institution it was intended to be.

Mueller is solidifying his reputation as a thug with a badge.
