The third trap is maneuvering the Senate Democrats into standing for open borders, or at least ineffective border security. The current House of Representatives will pass the funding. It is the Senate, where a 60-vote filibuster could be employed, that would be the obstacle.

Never forget that Trump was the most successful producer of reality television in the history of the medium. He understands drama and a story arc. Chuck Schumer leading a Senate filibuster right before Christmas to stymie border protection is exactly the story Trump wants the nation's TV-viewers to absorb.

I watched senile Nancy and Chuck yesterday. They talked about the need to start a dialogue on the subject and begin to work together. Blah BLah BLah.

They have been in Congress for decades. They have been talking about this for decades. Time is up.

They learn that there are a lot of non-essential government workers.

If they are 'non-essential' why are we paying for them?.................

Three Traps

Three "mike drops"

Dims demolished, discombobulated and discouraged.

It was not even necessary to set them up, chuckie and nan are both dumb enough to self-destruct.

My two farthings.

This is going to be fun to watch.

The “refugee” caravan has been exposed to be economic migrants looking for jobs (and welfare benefits in the Us ) not refugees fleeing violence. Many are violent criminals, drug traffickers, terrorists and gang members

In fact, they themselves became violent and tried to force entry into the US on camera when they were told told they would have to go through the proper refugee screening channels to be allowed into the United States

Now these so called refugees are demanding $50,000 payments from America to go back home.

I can't wait for Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer to shut the government down over these illegal aliens

The “traps” don’t seem to be working. Just look at the last election.....

II hope you heard all of the recordings of this meeting - they are well worth the listen. Our president hit it out of the park and the entire meeting was recorded. Talk about transparency.

Trump's second trap is his bold declaration of ownership of any "government shutdown."

THAT was powerful... Trump took away the battering ram Chuck and Nancy planned giving to the slugs at the Washington Post.

I was watching that whole thing yesterday and all I could think of was "Wow! Did PDJT punk Peloser and Chuckles BAD!"

He put them both on full display as being against securing our borders and allowing immigrants to flood into our country.

What a masterpiece our President orchestrated yesterday and the liberal media didn't know what hit 'em either. They put the truth on the air for all to see.

That's my President!

Nancy squawked and bleated, trying to find a way to beat the trap. Chuckie just sat there most of the time, hoping it would all soon be over. Pence meditated on the zen benefits of mid-meeting naps.

Next time, hopefully, Trump will use his proven barber cred to shave Nancy's head, WWF style.

The only “trap” I’m interested in, and waiting for, is the reference to the “trap-door” in the middle of a platform and hinges wearing out rapidly...

When Trump wins this and gets a wall someone will have to run to Lil Annie Menopause house nail the windows and shut off the gas to keep her from offing herself in despair.

I gotta think that the progressive wing of the democrat party that thinks these old white people aren’t up to the job were even more disappointed after this performance. Cryin’ Chuck sitting there shakin’ his odd-shaped head like he could not wait to get the hell outta there, and Nutty Nan babbling about going private and cutting a deal...without one word about free stuff!

The only thing funnier would be imagining that same scene with Ocasio-Cortez in Nancy’s seat...

Chuck and Nancy’s combined IQs, squared, would not make minus zero

It’s a good bet a poll of government workers would show a huge majority, if not 100%, favors a paid furlough

it would be a HUGE win if the gov does shut down to start pushing the notion that..

NON ESSENTIAL WORKERS DON’T NEED A UNION.

they can TRY to spin it any way they want. But that is a winner of a slogan to the tax payers.
