Trump: US ‘Needs A Good Shutdown’

President Trump on Tuesday called for a "good shutdown" in September to fix the "mess” in government.

"The reason for the plan negotiated between the Republicans and Democrats is that we need 60 votes in the Senate which are not there! We … either elect more Republican Senators in 2018 or change the rules now to 51%. Our country needs a good "shutdown" in September to fix mess!" he wrote in a series of tweets.

[Antoninus]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. We’ll see. So far, Trump has talked a good game but hasn’t delivered much. His first 100 days has been lackluster. We’ll only know if it has been catastrophic when Justice Gorsuch begins showing his true colors.

[Antoninus]

Either he gets rid of Jared, Ivanka, Priebus and their uniparty pals as WH staffers, and he goes over Ryan’s head to the public to deliver on what he promised—or his presidency is over.

I agree. Here's hoping he's still on the learning curve when it comes to managing DC. So far, his ability to move his agenda is practically nil.

When will we ever learn win?

Lyrics

I'll be alone each and every night
While you're away, don't forget to write

Bye-bye, so long, farewell
Bye-bye, so long

See you in September
See you when the summer's through
Here we are (bye, baby, goodbye)
Saying goodbye at the station (bye, baby, goodbye)
Summer vacation (bye, baby bye, baby)
Is taking you away (bye, baby, goodbye)

Have a good time but remember
There is danger in the summer moon above
Will I see you in September
Or lose you to a summer love
(counting the days 'til I'll be with you)
(counting the hours and the minutes, too)

Bye, baby, goodbye
Bye, baby, goodbye
Bye, baby, goodbye (bye-bye, so long, farewell)
Bye, baby, goodbye (bye-bye, so long)

Have a good time but remember
There is danger in the summer moon above
Will I see you in September
Or lose you to a summer love
(I'll be alone each and every night)
(While you're away, don't forget to write)

See you (bye-bye, so long, farewell)
In September (bye-bye, so long, farewell)
I'm hopin' I'll
See you (bye-bye, so long, farewell)
In September (bye-bye, so long, farewell)
Well, maybe I'll
See you (bye-bye, so long, farewell)
In September (bye-bye, so long, farewell)

His transparent effort by Tweet to have it both ways might appeal to some of his cult followers but a growing minority of conservatives are regaining their powers of discernment and will have none of it.

Agree and bump.

It's easy to put up a picture.

1) hover cursor over picture and right click.

2) from choices showing, click on "Copy image address" (Google Chrome) or if using another browser, the similar choice

3) Paste (where you're replying)

4) at the beginning of the image address, type < img src=
a) [NO space between "<" & "img"]
b) [ SPACE between "img" & "src"]
c) [NO space between "src" & "="]
d) [NO space between "=" & beginning of address]

5) at the end of the image address, type > with no space between the end of the address and ">"

Piece of cake.

(I got the above from googling "images for picture smiley face" and went though the same steps.)

The Vice President has insisted on appearing on Rush to quell the rioting. He will babble on about our military budget that got slaughtered like a pig. He will not talk about paying for baby killing and funding obamacare and funding SANCTUARY CITIES!! What a damned disaster.

I almost feel sorry for Pence having to defend this mess. Almost.

[LouisianaJoanof Arc]

You are right. So right.

I think we all get frustrated.

I want Ryan gone!!!!!

[lonevoice]

I was shocked that Rush took it to Pence as hard as he did. Rush has had about enough of this too. After that, he had a caller ask, “What can we do to get rid of Paul Ryan?” Rush actually busted out laughing. He said, paraphrasing, “Why? You’d get another one just like him! If you give Ryan enough money, then you’ll get what you want!”

Practice:

Start by right clicking over the happy face I posted and paste the image address on your reply. You should see this:

Then add the stuff I showed you and voilà!

Let me know if you hit a glitch. I’ll try to help.

Trade off by destroying progress on the biggest two agenda items now: repealing/replacing Obamacare and tax reform for a war over a three month temporary spending bridge.

The only reason there's even a discussion about repealing/replacing Obamacare right now is that a coalition of conservative members of Congress refused to sign onto a disgraceful bill that neither repealed nor replaced Obamacare -- and yet had the full public support of Donald Trump.

For that, they were publicly criticized by Trump. And one of the key points of his criticism was the way he blamed them for refusing to support a bill that allegedly defunded Planned Parenthood.

And now he's running around supporting an appropriations bill that -- well, continues to fund Planned Parenthood.

I have no criticism of Trump here. But I have all the respect in the world for the Freedom Caucus members who stood their ground on the Obamacare repeal, and who will hopefully stand their ground against this appropriations bill. Surely they recognize when they're dealing with someone who is completely full of sh!t half the time he opens his mouth.

P.S. -- I'm still a big fan of Trump here, so nobody should waste their time calling me a "Never Trumper."

‘pearl clutching and couch fainting’

so, is there another word for the "vapors" ?
maybe "conniption" ?

[9YearLurker]

I really think the GOP is irredeemable at this point. A new nationwide party probably needs to be formed.

[Mariner]

When he threw his lot in with Congressional Republicans, he put his entire Presidency at risk.

And, at risk it is.

[ExTexasRedhead]

I firmly believe that President Trump fully intends to do “everything” he promised the American people during his rallies and before he won.

RINOs/Elites and RATs need to be outed and voted the hell out of office at the first opportunity. Name names and tell We The People that these vermin need to go because they’re destroying the country and taking our freedom away all for their own self-enrichment. Follow the money! IMO, they’re lying, corrupt, two-faced gutter feces.

Ryan and Turtle Face need to be replaced ASAP. Anyone in DC not on the Trump train needs to be thrown off and replaced with a patriot dedicated to this country.

Trump has been in office just over 100 days and people in here have already give up on him...

Thanks, Jim. Your instructions - excellent! It was the quotation marks which were the culprits. Question here - how to determine the size of the image. Some, when posted seem huge. How is that remedied?

[Jim W N]

Congratulations. My problem was the same - for the longest time people gave me impossible instructions that I was unable to decipher. Finally someone came along and put it in simple terms like I did for you.

To find a smaller picture, I just go back to the gallery of pictures and keep trying. Sometimes the size is indicated when you hover you cursor over the image.

Happy copying and pasting. :-)

[Cen-Tejas]

Exactly!

Everyone needs to go do something else for 120 days and relax via Trump in the interim. I predict there absolutely will be a shutdown in September. Trump wants one and needs one! He’s just got too much on his plate at the moment with Korea, Obamacare, Syria, Russia etc;
