I think the only way the shutdown will save money is if they don’t give out retroactive pay for federal employees.
:mad:
Oh, for fuck’s sake; Loser Donald takes a Christmas Eve phone call from a 7-year-old and asks him if he still believes in Santa.
Just bizarre. He’s done and said a million things way worse, but this is just… like he’s never been around other humans before. I mean, my wife and I don’t do Santa with our kids, but I know enough not to interfere if other parents are doing it with theirs.
So, it turns out that the President and First Lady traditionally take some of the calls that come in to NORAD’s “Santa Tracker”. So, the buffoon was taking a call from a kid who obviously believes in Santa, because he was calling the Santa Tracker.
I’m beginning to think Trump ain’t too bright.
I’m sure all the Redhats will merely pronounce this another example of Trump owning the libs and say that belief in Santa is just making our kids weak snowflakes anyway.
I’m wondering what the baffled buffoon’s going to say about the bill he signed naming a post office after a Muslim.
He’s a buffoonish (but cunning) Sylvester McMonkey McBean-esque snake oil salesman, with neither the talent or the inclination to act as a responsible steward of our nation’s material and spiritual assets.
That said, there are absolute fucking morons in numbers far exceeding my ability to stomach who unblinkingly accept his outrageously poisonous twaddle as received Truth.
ICE is apparently dumping released immigrants onto the streets of El Paso with no food or shelter.

I thought he was going to be paying for that stupid wall with money from Mexico?
Maybe there could be some sort of compromise where New Mexico pays for the wall?
G-men mostly vote for the D’s. Do you think Thrump is Santa Claus? Do you think he will sign a bill granting these D-voters retroactive pay? No, refusal to pay contractors and workers is precisely what made him such a “successful businessman” — he is eager to demonstrate his business genius as President.
Cite?
There are no known Democratic Directors of the FBI in its entirety history (even McCabe voted in the 2016 GOP primary, implying that he was a Republican before Trump).
The FBI is principally staffed by former military and police, both of which groups tend to lean Libertarian/Republican.
I strongly suspect that the FBI is at most evenly split, but likely leaned Republican at least before Trump.
My money is on “he’ll try to blame Tom Garrett (VA, R), but mangle the name”.
Not to Godwinize the thread but in his younger years, Adolf Hitler was an aspiring artist. He applied at the prestigious Vienna Art Academy but was turned down.
There has been speculation that had the Academy been able to foresee the future, they might have admitted him and redirected his energies into something besides politics.
Imagine if in June, 2015 when Donny Two-scoops announced his run for President, Congress had accurately descried the future and passed a bipartisan bill to give him a billion dollars to go away. It would have been cheaper.
If you pay the Duncegeld even once, then you pay it forever.
Outrageous, stupid and infantile became the norm of Trump, et al. It seems to me that I’ve seen more “Even for Trump, (fill in the blank) is shocking” in the past week or two than ever before. The new norm has gotten even more out there. When will ever end? I’m consistently amazed by people, even friends, who say “But look at what he’s doing for the economy” etc. Is there no sin too grave for Trumpers to say, “Enough!”? This is a rhetorical question, I know. Just venting.
Or, if the NFL had let Trump have a team. Trump feels snubbed and still holds a grudge. It’s built into his always a victim persona, not being accepted by the elites, whether Manhattan society or NFL owners.
How Trump’s time running a doomed football team fueled his political fight with the NFL
Some things haven’t changed, like Trump bragging about how much money he has (whether he in fact had NFL money or not).
They’re not trying to defend Trump, they’re trying to defend their own ego. As long as they can convince themselves that Trump is doing something good, anything at all, it means that they don’t have to admit making a mistake in supporting him.
I finally got around to reading the NYT article on the Trump family and their money. Its definitely worth the time it takes to read it. His company should be called Trump Smoke and Mirrors.
Is it online? Do you have a link?
Why not? He got away with that all his life.
