The Trump Shutdown

And I always understood "you can keep your doctor" to mean "if the bill passes the way it is presented, rather than carved apart to appease lunatics on the right, you will be able to continue seeing whatever doctor you want".  But, you know how that goes...

 

That's because you have no understanding of cause and effect or how markets work.

 

This might be the dumbest thing you've ever said.

I was parodying B-Mans *****...he knew what Trump meant, even though it wasn't what he said.  We can all hear things the way we want to.

Give it some time, it's not like they would just write a check.

 

Once that wall is up all those that we send back will be Mexico's problem.

Good, let's give it some time then. Why shut down the government over something that's going to get paid for anyway?

This whole thing is highly amusing to me.  Trump wants to nuke the filibuster in the Senate just for a small portion of wall funded not too concerned about the long term consequences.  He changes his mind at the last second as Senators already went home since he agreed with McConnel before the Senate passed the CR deal earlier in the week.   

 

Democrats are fine with ground censors, radar, and increased border security personnel but a wall is racist.  Outgoing congressional Republicans who wouldn't have voted for the spending bill voted for it knowing it won't pass to stick it to Pelosi.  Competing gofundme accounts raising money for the wall (may have a problem with private property there) on one side and ladders to get over the nonexistent wall on the other is actually getting a lot of money.  I fully expect a food fight in the US Capitol building cafeteria at the end of all of this.

then he would be quite honest in referring to himself as a "dipschiff".

 

Also a dipshit

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 also don't rattle off nonsensical drivel, but hey, you do you.

 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.
