“IMHO Chuck and Nancy look a little bit desperate to pin the shutdown on Donald and they don’t act like people who are winning the argument. Remember Congress has an approval rating of around 10% and the longer this goes the more the 62 million Americans who voted for the wall will blame them for it. Don’t blink Mr President you have the upper hand here. It’s only 5 billion you’re asking for.”

Good stuff there, JockoManning,

Speaking of plural marriage, what's up with Bagster? He's only posted once since 1/1. That must be some hangover!
Love it!
The fact that everyone in the room simply acted as if it were not there blows my mind.
Is he in the FR jail again?
I wouldn’t mind watching it again sometime, it was eons ago.
The smarmy oiliness of manyRepukes and some Dems and the lizard-like inhumanity of most Dems make it so I never want to watch Congress doing anything. (Sorry to insult nice real lizards.) I wouldn’t mind watching their funeral processions, though.
Very good find, I hope it gets out there.

Senate approves 77 Trump nominations in end-of-Congress deal
https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2019/jan/2/senate-approves-77-trump-nominations-in-end-of-con/
The Senate approved 77 Trump nominations in an end-of-Congress deal Wednesday night, filling out the ranks of federal prosecutors, ambassadors, the White House science adviser and the post of anti-drug czar — but no new judges.
The deal came on the final day of the 115th Congress, with Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, standing alone on the chamber floor, reading out the nomination numbers then confirming them by voice vote.
The move caps what’s been an extraordinary two years of both unprecedented action and obstruction, and presages battles still to come over the next two years.
First up will be a decision for Mr. Trump on some 300 or so nominations that still languish, including more than 85 judicial picks that never saw final action. Under normal rules, all of those will expire at the end of the old Congress, marking a victory for liberal activists who’d warned Democratic leaders against any en masse approvals.
So what happens when the Senate convenes again? Is it today? Can they run through the remaining appointees quickly or do the (cough/gag/puke) Dems have to cooperate in order for this to happen?
New Senate just opened. Just as in JUST opened

Mexican Pres. Bows to Trump. Announces 2,000-Mile ‘Zone’ To Help Stop Illegals
In a rather surprising move, the new left-wing populist president of Mexico — Andrés Manuel López Obrador — just announced a dramatic new plan for the border region his nation shares with the United States that actually supports and coincides with President Donald Trump’s overall agenda on border security and immigration.
No, the Mexican president didn’t sign a check to fund construction of the proposed border wall or deploy the military and minefields to discourage cross-border excursions to the north, but rather announced an economic “free zone” along the border that would attract investment and create new jobs and provide an economic incentive for migrants to remain in Mexico instead of illegally crossing into the U.S. for economic reasons.
That decree will create a “free zone” roughly 15.5 miles wide along the 2,000-mile long border, from the Pacific coast to the Gulf of Mexico, that will feature dramatically reduced taxes, a doubled minimum wage and certain commodities priced similar to that found across the border in the U.S.
The income tax rate in the “free zone” would be reduced by one-third, from 30 percent to 20 percent, while the Value Added Tax for imported goods would be cut by half from 16 to 8 percent. That’s aimed at spurring business growth, which would increase employment.

Hopefully those in the CIA who created her are no longer with the company.
She is a construct and now we have more of an idea who built her.
I”m going to look for that online, if possible. I just read a very brief outline of Cicero’s life, very interesting.
:: Republican political operatives in parts of the 9th Congressional District harvested ballots from minority voters and DIDN’T deliver them to the election offices. [emphasis added] ::
So....what crime was committed?
That’s what I figured. Today might be interesting.
I wouldn’t object of Q decided to say something. I am sure there are very good reasons for silence right now; one might be so the bad guys have no Qlue what’s up next.
