Is Anyone On The Fence About This?

Trump wants $5 billion for a border wall and a symbolic win. Pelosi and Schumer will give him a fence, or a partial government shutdown. Resist!

I love Schumer's soundbite: "The public expects us to be even smaller and less reasonable than Trump and we won't disappoint them."

I may have misheard that. Probably not.

Congrats on your retirement today Ext.

And I hope Jane and James D heal quickly.

Your making the decision you thought you had to make does not entitle you (much less Tom) to call Flynn names for the decisions he thought he had to make.

Sounds like a double standard to me. It’s perfectly OK for the Ledge dwellers to criticize and to call political public figures they dislike (Mueller, Rosenstein, Comey, Sessions etc) names but it’s not OK for me to criticize Flynn (who is also a public political figure) for not having the courage to fight back against the corrupt Deep State Swamp trying to destroy him?

This is an embargoed article on Cardinal Pell being convicted of abusing choirboys.

He's 3rd after the Pope.

French24 says 100% of the Brit guys allowed to vote voted---all 381 or whatever the exact number is. That much they know. Results in 19 minutes according to FOX Business.

Well, daddy, I really hop May is booted, but probably won't be.

I cannot stand that she is filling Thatcher's shoes (and Churchill's). She is simply weak tea.

daddy,

Strausborg is vehicle free except for taxis, buses and Janet's light rail. He was lucky to get a cab and escape.

That said, there are a mass of hovels, especially around the west side where it could take weeks to shake him out. If he is wounded, then sooner.

Miss M,

I loved this that you posted earlier:

The Democrats and President Obama gave Iran 150 Billion Dollars and got nothing, but they can’t give 5 Billion Dollars for National Security and a Wall?

Voldemort had his minions swat the good prosecutor then he issues a number of nuisance suits.

Strasbourg is on the border didnt they have an outstanding warrant to transfer him

I really hop May is booted, but probably won't be.

Well what did they expect when they elected somebody to accomplish the Brexit, when that somebody they elected wants to remain in the EU?

Just had a corporate come by over my house at 10K feet doing 400 at least and heading due East. The only land between me and due east is the Western Sahara. Wonder what that is all about?

Re: Pelosi's comments on the President's Oval Office slam down of the Democrat leadership yesterday:

This shows how far the democrats have degenerated - from "Ask not what your country can do for you" (and all your relatives back in El Salvador) to a bat shit crazy fading politician talking about tinkling contests when the sovereignty of the U.S. is at stake.

NEW THREAD!!!

[jimmyk]

I have great respect for Iggy and others who refuse to knuckle under, but no one's shoes are exactly the same as anyone else's, so if someone does cop a plea under pressure of some overzealous prosecutor with unlimited budget, I'm not going to judge him. He's still a victim, the prosecutor is still the bad guy.

[daddy]

To paraphrase Alexander the Great on his deathbed:

"Let the Funeral EUneral Games begin."

I just heard a tractor trailer tire explode on I40 but I did not stay in a HIE last night. I have the New Madrid fault about 160 miles away. Hopefully we won't get dinged by that anytime soon.

We had one good earthquake in Casper, WY in 1985. I was in drama class and Mr Welsh dramatically said,"Everyone take cover!"

I've slept thru an attempted wine delivery.

WINE!

I'm actually closer to The Bell Witch than Meigs County.

Wow: The National Enquirer's parent company has admitted to prosecutors that it made the $150,000 payment in "concert with" the Trump campaign "in order to ensure that the woman did not publicize damaging allegations about the candidate before the 2016 presidential election."

Does Mueller sing hymns while he jogs?

[Jim Eagle]

Watching SKY News about the no confidence vote. Jacob Rees-Moog, the Ichobad Crane intellectual of the back bench thinks May has lost even though she got 2/3rd the votes. He has a compelling argument but he still lost.

She has a week, in my opinion, to get the EU to give her a better border deal on Ireland. After that it could be curtains. Remember Maggie had great support until she went to France and 24 hours later she resigned.

It ain't over then when it is over?

[Jim Eagle]

Is there better drama in politics than the PM Questions on Wednesdays at the British paliament? No, there cannot be. It was terrific today.

[Jim Eagle]

Does it bother any conservative Brit that the Sky News parliament correspondent is named Halim Islam?

It is hot news. She is not in trouble since she can't be challenged again for a year. But what if COMMIE Corbyn decides to challenge?

The EU is now in charge. Since she cannot be challenged, they can dicatate terms.

[Jane]

Clarice,

I hate scallops. Well I didn't use to until I got very sick on them.
