So I've seen like 5 pictures now of a pre-teen/teenage Ivanka in her dad's lap, some where she's even kissing him. My appetite is shot for the day.

This is why I used Don JR in my GOT analogy earlier on. Trump would never burn Ivanka at the stake.
By Fenderputty Go To PostLol a needed chuckleYeah variations of that joke have been floating around.
According to NYT it’s the Dems fault though
Did they win a bunch of Fake News awards and are trying to get back into the good graces of the president?

Maybe a prebaked headline assuming the GOP would force dems to block was the easy play
By Vlatko Go To PostThis is a losing battle for the DemsNot if it they gave him the wall and he still declined.
dems should've blinked if the whole year's plan was "wait til 2018"
too late to go full obstructionist at everyone's expense now

You'd think your Republicans would only use these stupid scare tactics once in a while than in successions.

Trump cucked the NYT (I really hate that term but it's apt in this situation). My subscription went out a few days ago and I'm not renewing until the right the ship. I'm gonna get a Wapo subscription instead.

I think they actually want DACA and Chip and equal domestic to military spending. Plus after last year it has to feel great to screw the Repubs a little bit.

Again, if outright obstruction was the move they should've committed to that months ago.

It's a chain effect "everyone gets screwed AND they blame the party in control" at this point the writing is on the wall. The longer they stall the more time the Repubs have to get on code and shift blame. Right now they didn't use their prep time cause I honestly believe they were going to stall until after the state of the union and then do this after Trump gives a big dog whistle racist "No DACA speech"
Also I don't think the Dems shutting down the government was taken lightly. However, the Repubs overplayed their hand. They 1) set CHIP up to be a hostage situation and they attached 1-2 year ACA damaging bills to it and all to kick the can to February. 2) the Dems had Durbin and Graham working on something that conceded to Trumps demands somewhat. The deal limited chain immigration to nuclear families, startup wall money, and reorganizing the diversity lottery in a way that he could claim he got rid of it. Then Trump personally said "Nope no minorities" called other countries shitholes to seem cool and then called Durbin a liar when it trended badly. They didn't want to do this the Republicans are led by a dotard.
The republicans are assholes and it's as good a time as ever to screw them and get the pleasure of seeing them sweat.
It's almost as if abortion and immigration can keep trading places as wedge issues whether democrats control govt or not.

Lol.
They haven’t had an opportunity to procedurally obstruct until now.
The Republicans didn’t have the 50 needed votes to pass even if Dems helped them by voting to end debate.
This was not your A game
Yea, the dems have played the Trump presidency perfectly. The only thing they are fucking terrible at right now is finding a good message and candidate for 2020..but I guess there's still time.
By Fenderputty Go To PostLol.If you base everything on congressional votes alone, sure.

By Fenderputty Go To PostHow else do you obstruct?When the GOP was having internal squabbles, did these guys not work out a deal with the president then puff their chests out about it for a month? But now we gotta drop all that and pretend that the right invented deportation in just one year and this is the fight to end it all.
Normalizing a government shutdown is bad enough, but for anyone to minimize these effects or spin it as a win is a joke.
Normalizing short bullshit CRs instead of actual governance is pretty shit IMO, but maybe I’m alone there
By s y Go To PostDelusional implies that he isn't full aware of what he's doing…..I think this idea of Trump as a cunning genius that's doing this as some 12-Dimensional chess kingmaker is fucking hilarious and way off base at this point. He's impulsive and illogical and just completely nuts.
So, no, he's not aware of anything, he's just an egomaniac that likes to believe everyone loves him, so with that in mind, that's how you convince yourself that certain actions are actually about you at all times (in the most positive light, that is).
Trump isn't a genius he's a fucking asshole who has had his hand held since he inherited money. If he wasn't rich he'd be just another slimy asshole at your neighborhood dive.
What is their end game for this? Like poll numbers in their favor or having the Dems arrested?.......
