You still get to sit on the winners couch, but down near the end with the bad TV angle and the third cousin with the pants pulled way up high.

Schumer provided some very interesting soundbites about the border wall. No wall for Trump, no money for trump wall, you'll never get funding for the trump wall etc etc etc. The problem is people are dying over this issue, and many, many folks support the building of a wall, more still support security at the border in some way, shape or form. Yet old chuck sounded like an arrogant politician playing games with money at the expense of the security of the American people, not to mention those in govt impacted over the $5b. Nothing like a NYC lib on a rant to rally middle Americans at election time.

I used plain language to inquire as to your thoughts, in fact some were words you used yourself. At first you thought it was shitposting, then you didn't, then you answered but now it seems you didn't understand any of it. Maybe in retrospect not answering was your better play. You're all over the page emotionally, so I'll leave you to your deep thinking. I guess this is where I use the Miley Cyrus line...so, uh, you do you, too.

Damn typo. I had to double check as while the other poster may be your afternoon liberal booty call, he has shown the propensity to be a weasle in the past. Yes, I meant that I'm fairness. I am not a doctor. I am a dipschiff. And I'm a dispshit. But, I don't dodge questions, so there is always that.

I'm fairness his doctor is apparently a dipschiff.

First, I thank God you're ok. I was worried because it was your post, you spoke emphatically and with strong opinions then seemed to wander off into the shadows as matters evolved. That would reflect a shallowness rarely seen. I really wanted your feedback and your reply of "TRUMP" leaves me much to comtemplate. Now, the shutdown can be avoided, Schumer can help, and Pelosi looks like she's out of touch. Thanks for taking the time to reply. You've given me much to consider. I always thought it was pretty complicated, but yeah, "TRUMP!" Is pretty deep.

Has anyone seen WhitewalkerinPhilly, or know if he's ok? I asked him a question on his original post on this topic and he hasn't answered. I'm getting worried as he seemed like an honest broker looking for an exchange of ideas. I feel like we can avoid a shutdown now if Sen Schumer can rally his base here. I feel like Nancy Pelosi must have had some misunderstanding of the house and the way it would vote. Whitewalker was suggesting Trump owned the shutdown, and that seemed reasonable just last week. Now, thankfully, calmer heads can prevail.

Life serves upittle ironies. One is while all people are equal, some are more better equal.

"Politicians...near and far, in office and long gone..." includes all. This is not a Democrat or Republican issue. The entirety of the government is built on the understanding that those inside get theirs while those outside live by a different set of rules altogether. It's one giant pork pie, which is why one can work 30 years and leave with guarantees of income and benefits and yet the message for everyone else is "normal retirement age is 67 and on it's way to 70". One set of rules can hardly exist without the other. That certainly does not mean there are not good, hard working and decent people inside, as there are. I just find the leadership to be lacking for about the last 60 years. Someone is always getting rich, this will be no different, and such is life in America. On the other hand, if open borders is the plan, let's get it out there and stop handwringing about it. I'd love for the walls to come down at airports, border crossings, and the Peace Bridge. Btw you never answered and gave credit where credit was due. Mr. 45 shifted the shutdown to Messrs Schumer and Pelosi, yes?

Because politicians near and far, in office and long gone, don"t see it as a national security issue, they see it as a path to enrichment.

Let's give credit where credit is due. Looks like DJT sold his stake in the "impending shutdown" to a guy from Brooklyn named Chuckie, and revealed that his gf Nancy is blissfully unaware about what's happening in House she's moving into. In the meantime, this serves as a reminder as to why you have to sit at the kids table. I lost hope long ago that schumer and the vast majority of the senate will do what's in the best interest of the country, but now I'm a bit embarrassed by my reply. You're spot on with this one.

I just hope as my representative, he sticks to his principle.

Yes. I thought I typed that in but hey, I'm deep into the EggNogg today.

Whatever Trump may be, he ain't got nothing on Jim Comey. He is trash of the worst kind, on par with the Paul Giametti character in Showtime. Haven't seen it in a while, but he's so intent on destroying his enemies he's willing to break every law/rule in his way. I want Whittaker to pull the plug on Mueller just for the fireworks. It's all political theater anyway, let's get (t)rolling here!

I'm generally against collusion, but if I WAS going to collude, the Ruskies would be 1 or 1a. The creative chops are impressive.

I think the name got him. Politfact sounds factual. In fact, Politfact has reportedly investigated Politfact and certified they are non-partisan. Honestly what a dimwit.

He's limited, unfortunately. If he goes swimming in a wading pool, his assumption thereafter is that all bodies of water are knee deep. That doesn't make him a bad person.

Ah, I see. I haven't read what Fox has reported on either. I just figured since you were crowing about busting a nut that someone else might question the veracity of news/partial news reports, surely you could not be so vapid and intellectually unaware as to have your own version of fake news and not know it. I get it now. There is only one source of inaccurate reporting in wwpland. I read/listen to NPR, I like to get a flavor for what others might be thinking or reporting on a variety of subjects. I don't spend much time with the BBC, I feel that since the government, through its agents and intelligence community tried to influence our Presidential election, they are not to be trusted.

Have you followed any of the reporting on the total context of his remarks--not just tidbits pieced together by NPR-- as reported on Fox News??!

The rats are everywhere. As for the sentencing hearing, I'd love to see Flynn come out of this as the martyred hero who did what likely every political appointee does prior to taking office, who may have stepped on the wrong line and simply exposed his neck to his political e enemies, but this situation is less fascinating to me than it is a pathetic reminder that many that swim in these waters are scumbags of the highest order, and I'd trust a kid who knocked over a liquor store after a joyride more than guys like Mueller, Comey, McCabe and so on. Still, regardless of the outcome, Trump again displays an uncanny knack for calling it straight and pulling no punches. The "fake news media" is indeed the enemy of the people. NBC is running the story as predicted, not factually inaccurate, but with notable omissions to his this all actually played out. They did the same thing yesterday when reporting the FBI released some data and conveniently omitting that it was required due to a court order. On the bright side though, they accurately reported that Penny Marshall was a bright light and courageous actress who fought through only having one family member who was a Hollywood A lister to give her a break most don't get so she could carve her own path.

You have the wrong guy. My horse is a shetland pony. You typed that JA is running around like an "idiot". Your screen name is WRONG JOSH. I didn't bother rating the qbs, I thought your Right Josh might struggle with the leadership role as he comes off as sort of a first class douche, but if my Wrong Josh became the Bills Right Josh I'd rally behind him. Why? Because hes the qb of our team. There are literally thousands of fans who are happy to come trash this team, I see no reason to help them. Maybe an outlet worth pursuing is to hop on the JR threads with the fans in Zona. At this point, you might as well go into a craft store and argue with someone that blue is a more chill color than red. Right Josh Wrong and Wrong Josh Right are both rookies. Save the camel clutch for the time when JA is out of the league and JR is hoisting his 3rd Lombardi.

Then pull for the guy in Az, follow his trajectory and hope he has a great career. You can do that without crapping on a kid doing his level best to win football games. The alternative is to keep coming back here and laughing at the fans excited for the guy that actually pilots their team, who has some fans excited and happy about the future, all while crowing about the guy you had as 1a who by your own standard has amounted to a whole bucket of suck to date, and for that matter is well behind the guy you had as 1b, showing your guess was as bad as most other guesses.

I have not read his treatise on The Tooth Fairy so I will withhold commentary. Everyone knows the Illumanti is a real thing, not unlike the Knights Templar and the Freemasons. As for you sir, I believe that when you accept the company line without question from individuals with an established record of corruption, they appreciate your support but tend to think of you less Ben Franklin, more Ben Dover. I strongly believe in questioning that which I am told I should not question. I have learned that over time, and am grateful to my parents for encouraging me to be open-minded. But, you choose a different path, and that is your right.

In fairness, let us not forget that Obama was exceptionally clear that the Russians posed a clear and present danger to our country for 9 years, including during his initial campaign and up to and through his time in office. It's not like he waited until the 11th hour, when a new admin was about to enter office, to create an international incident by expelling dozens of Russian nationals from the country with accusations of malfeasance. That would put the new admin at a decided disadvantage in dealing with another super power.

It's a full architectural engineering bully beatdown when you include references to load bearing walls inside ones mind while trashing someone. You're like the Chip Gaines of PPP.
