Is it more than "funny" to see the production of Trump's China trade deal. It has not solved one real issue only those which were introduced by Trump himself. The same is true for North Korea and other conflicts.

But yeah that is the politics of populists....simple "solutions" for complex issues...

The odds are against them and always have been ... This whole thing has been just for show to the uneducated voters.

I also thought it was against the Law for any Member of Congress to accept a gift?
In giving away those Pens did not that become a violation of Laws?
A bribe of sorts?

Were they not referred to as "Undesirables" at one time?
Oh. Yeah! We must be politically correct when the situation calls for it.
I'm not great at that PC stuff but still want to know who paid for all the G-D Pens!
N A N C Y P E L O S I E
That's 12 pens done twice! So 24 freaking pens!
Given Government procurement? I'm thinking at lest $1000 each!
That's $24,000

And your pen point is?

Jeff-Groves · 01-16-20, 05:39 PM

Don't get what your point is.
I noticed the Duck did do a legal signature.
Did the Nanc? Accept a pen? Could be bribery right there.
I ain't no Lawyer. I have to much self respect to go that deep into the Devils pocket.

Jeff-Groves · 01-16-20, 05:57 PM

Basic research says each of those pens may be as cheap as $50 each.
I doubt those were the standard $50 dollar pens!
So at 50 times 24? That's around $1200 bucks!
12 bic pens at Dollar Tree is $1 buck!
So who is paying for those pens?

Seeing the fact each of the passed away pens are now historic?
Value is WAY Above cost! Therefore can be looked at as a bribe.

Probably need to start a movement to look into this 'secret bribery ring'
Would give the FBI something almost real to do.

Signing the document to send an impeachment to the senate for a sitting President is an historic occasion.
There are bigger things to worry about besides pens.

Ever heard about symptoms of a disease?
So We blow off $1200+ on pens. Big deal!
Do that THOUSANDS of times!
Maybe hundreds of thousands of times.
The pen is mightier than the sword.

How dare Nancy use ceremonial pens! I'm just not outraged and demand something I'll think up later.

Serious: fair enough, sorry. I constantly forget that you are not, since you sound so very republican American. Think you have told me once or twice before. Try to sound less like an American, then its easier for me to remember.

I don't know what to tell you. Take notes... there will be a test.

Proud member of the middle-of-the-road moderates at your service.

We'll figure something out, later. After the game, maybe?? Wait, I'll need to shovel out the driveway.
