Hence the words...."like this."

Let's just cut to the chase. Are you saying that, regardless the words you used, you meant in your first post the media only?

And if he pushed for the wall what would have been your position? Or is he damned if he does or doesn't? Because if that is the case, which it seems to be, then why not be pragmatic? Especially when he knows his base wont criticize him for it.

Politics isn't checkers.

LOL Trump's base won't criticize him for anything.... even losing. Meanwhile he continues to flaunt his violation of the Constitution and enrich himself and his family at our expense.

Well Dana, he was headed for a losing situation. CR needs to go through even though demos like you are doing everything you can to obstruct it...my guess is the order of things is so, HC, Taxes, then the border barrier...in that order.

It would be GOP lawmakers that continue to blow up trump legislative priorities like trumpcare and the wall.

GOPosters keep telling us how few seats and little power we have. How can we be obstructing GOPs?

Imagine a GOPoster speaking of obstruction after the last 8 years .

Dogging is dogging. To downplay one and not the other is just hypocrisy.

Trump promoted a conspiracy theory about Obama: birtherism.

Pretty ridiculous. But, that's the POTUS, a conman from NYC who believes in conspiracy theories and ignorance.

Obama got an 8-year honeymoon from the media. Never has ass been kissed so completely and so adoringly in the history of mankind.

And how does the Birther crap fit into your narrative?

Translation - When it comes to the border wall, Donald Trump has surrendered. Don't expect it to be built. Meanwhile congress is expected to keep the government funded, and there will be no government shutdown this weekend... Just as long as Trump keeps his nose out of their business. He almost blew up the government. We don't need more of that.

He never had any intention to build it. He seized on the low intelligence voters with his rhetoric and got them foaming over an issue that he saw easy prey.

Nobody watched Obama's first 90 days like this.

Good God, it's beyond absurd.

Illegal immigration is WAY down. The economy is soaring, Gorsuch is confirmed, the military has its morale back, real people with real lives are feeling optimistic for the first time in forever.

And NOBODY listens to the media anymore about anything.

I was cynical about him, but so far, I'm impressed.

That wall will have it's day, but weak-minded liberal losers are claiming victory because he didn't get it done in three months. LOL

Oh puhlease....stop it with the poor picked on Trump whining. Every President is watched in their first 100 days.

Yep, and this "wall" keeps his drain-the-swamp message alive and well.

Especially since he has filled it to the brim with new Goldman Sachs gators, some of them which Hillary made money speaking to. LOL.

They are ALL crooks, but hyperpartisans will never see it.

1. Yes, it is true that GOP Congress has more than a few with their own agenda. And for that you should be happy...

2. Kind of the same as #1, it's Ryan that is failing us at the moment, not POTUS...

3. You know as well as anyone that the minority has many procedural tricks to block things, and with a class A reprobate like Schumer in there, they use them well.

Are the Trump supporters - who have IQ's OVER 100 - tired of winning yet?

Let's ask both of them.

Wouldn't you agree that Schumer is simply trying to use every tool in McConnell's obstruction box from the last 8 years? Though I'm still trying to find that House legislation that has made its way to the Senate! :lamo

How can House Democrats be faulted when they haven't even been approached and ryan/trump continue to use the 'Hastert Rule' ?

I love how the GOP controls the House, Senate and WH and already right wingers are laying the foundation to blame DEMOCRATS for any failure to pass a CR. :shock: How about we first see the GOP House pass a budget or CR first, then a filibuster in the Senate before you start blaming the minority party for any failure?

On one hand, GOPartisans love to brag how many state and federal seats they have flipped since 2010. OTOH, they whine how difficult it is to lead. All they know is smear and blame.

It's up to DEMs to fight back against the GOP smear election machine, as we see happening right now in SC-5, GA-6 and MT-at large .

Absolutely, and that was my point....But, you democrats really take the cake...For 8 years we kept hearing how we dirty republican's were obstructing Obama, now that Schumer uses the "same tools" as you put it, it's all fair eh?

Wonderful!

How can House Democrats be faulted when they haven't even been approached and ryan/trump continue to use the 'Hastert Rule' ?

That's simply not true...Schumer was on the Sunday shows this week, and one of the things he has said is that Trump has reached out...But with clown's like Maxine Waters in there bellowing "Impeach!" and that "she will not work with him on anything!" You tell me?

Hell, republican's are having a hard enough time with the cats in their own party much less, opening wide the opportunity for democrats to try and take advantage. :shrug:

I'd like to see them get together and govern a little more like democrats did when they held all 3 branches....That said, judging from the constant head exploding from the left, I'd say pretty good. :mrgreen:

Looking increasingly likely.

"Lock her up"
"Build that wall"

Have I missed any other campaign promises not followed through?

Yes we all know you guys like being dicks. You elected the king of dicks so it is no surprise. You are going to look back on the country after Trump and say "Why were we such dicks?" and nobody will have an answer.

The only one he has followed through with is being a dick about everything. That is apparently enough.
