> [@Loser Donald](#): > > I am in the Oval Office & just gave out a 115 mile long contract for another large section of the Wall in Texas. We are already building and renovating many miles of Wall, some complete. Democrats must end Shutdown and finish funding. Billions of Dollars, & lives, will be saved! That’s right - Stupid Donnie Fail-Fail expects us to believe he’s personally awarding no-bid contracts (which is a _felony_, BTW), on Christmas Eve, during a government shutdown, for a project that he says he’s going to fund by stealing the paychecks of government employees. I’d suggest that three ghosts should visit him tonight, but he’d probably just tweet that they were being unfair to him. ---

> [@enipla](#): > > Everyone? Trump and his idiot base are framing it as a showdown between himself and the Democrats. Yeah, and after HE personally tanked a bi-partisan bill to keep the government up and running, that same bunch of lying assholes is trying to pin it on the Dems. Back around 2013: “A shutdown falls on the President’s lack of leadership. He can’t even control his own party and get people together in a room. A shutdown means the president is weak.” “If you say who gets fired, it always has to be the top. Problems start from the top, and they have to get solved from the top, and the president’s the leader, and he’s got to get everybody in a room, and he’s got to lead. And he doesn’t do that, he doesn’t like doing that, that’s not his strength.” Leadership: Whatever happens, you’re responsible. If it doesn’t happen, you’re responsible. But NOW, … “I’d love to see a shutdown if we don’t get this stuff taken care of,” " So I will take the mantle. I will be the one to shut it down. I’m not going to blame you for it,” “I will take the mantle of shutting down. And I’m going to shut it down for border security.” Finally, after destroying the bipartosan effort to keep the government running: “The Democrats now own the shutdown!” And the son of a bitch has had what… THREE shut downs already over bullshit and hissy fits??? ---

I don’t want to go into crazy-assed theories, but there is some speculation that the pics he’s posting of himself are not new and current but older and that he is in FL, not “working” in DC. I guess his plane made the trip. I don’t know if he HAS to take the AF1 plane presidents take. And maybe it’s his kids or something. But there also isn’t a Marine at the WH door like there is when the Pres is in residence. Maybe it’s a shutdown staffing thing or completely incorrect statement. But who here would be shocked if he was pretending to be in DC but really in FL hitting the links? ---

(Florida, not far from where I’m typing.) All restrictions on automotive travel, boat traffic, and air space which were announced in advance of his visit have been rescinded. No way the chicken hearted twit would sneak in here without comprehensive protection from us commoners. ---

I’m sure he wants to, to give them to his Russian pals and other crooked cronies (with a big cut for him). But there is a little thing called the Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR). They were instituted in an attempt to keep things honest and above board. Plus, the dumb fuck furloughed any gov’t people that might have issued, processed and administered those contracts (that he isn’t gonna get anyway). He can’t steal the paychecks either. They will be paid later. He can’t get them. This isn’t some scummy Trump private “business” where he gets to fuck all his workers and “partners”. ---

This isn’t some scummy Trump private “business” where he gets to fuck all his workers and “partners”. That’s what I don’t get. Is he REALLY stupid enough to think he can put the money “saved” by the shutdown into a personal slush fund to pay for his wall? Yeah, I know he’s as dumb as a bag of rocks, but a GOOD thief at least has some animal cunning to fall back on. Trump is every bit as stupid as the holdup man who thought a splash of lemon juice would render him invisible. Who has enabled him all these years so he can think he’s a savvy businessman? ---
