No Paper News ^ | Jan 4, 2018

.@RepCheri Bustos says the border wall has become “nothing more than a symbol,” but notes that “in the end, we might have to give or take a little bit. It’s just the way the world works.

Who’s Cheri Bustos? An interesting character, if you’re unfamiliar. Fun facts about her:

— She’s the new chair of the DCCC, the committee charged with helping to elect Democratic candidates to the House in 2020. The DCCC chair is also the fifth-highest-ranking member of the caucus. This isn’t some rando floating compromise with Trump on CNN. This is the leadership.

— She’s a Pelosi rival. In fact, no Democrat besides Nancy herself got as many floor votes for Speaker yesterday as Bustos did — only four, to be sure, but it shows that there’s already a constituency for her within the caucus. “Mrs. Bustos‘ fans in the Democrat caucus — many more than four — say she’s poised to someday ascend to speaker,” the Washington Times noted today. How many of her “fans” also think there should be some “give and take” with Trump? ...

I caught a short blurb on FOX Business channel tonight, where two of the commentators seemed to agree that many of the incoming House Democrats are more centrist than you might think.

I personally don't think there is a Democrat alive I would consider "moderate", but perception being reality, maybe things will turn out better than we thought with this Democrat house when it comes down to actual votes.

She’s a Pelosi rival.
Being against Pelosi (which more and more Demwit rank and file are) just shows what ageist hypocrites they are. Oh, and speaking of hypocrisy, Bustos is 57. :^D

#2. You beat me to it. It’s the old communist method of negotiating as in “You give and I take” and “What’s mine is mine and what’s yours is negotiable”.

I learned from the best communist theoreticians in America (Aptheker, Novack, Alinsky, Healey, Conyers).

Trump should double the amount he’s asking for

All he needs to do is increase the amount by 1% every day.

Boil the frog....
