Economy The [Wall / Government Shutdown] Megathread

[Fedorable]

Again and again, Trump demonstrates that he cannot negotiate except from a position of extreme leverage over his opponent. He had no superior leverage here and thus had to cave. Because when you spend your time bragging about winning, even ending up even is a loss.

Politics is fucking hard.

On the other side, no wonder business people don't go into politics. Politicians play the game at a much higher level. No criticism to DJT but he's out of his depth dealing with the Pelosi's and the McConnell's of Congress.

LEO?

no.

if you overlook the crystal healing types it's filled with.

Nothing but pride for MY speaker.

Do you actually like Pelosi or you just like that she fights Trump?

I'm genuinely curious.

I can't believe the demoncrats were willing to shut down the government, refuse citizenship for the poorest of immigrants (dreamers), postpone the state of the union, and stop paychecks to the people that serve america all because of $5 billion to make america safer.

For all the goobers celebrating. .we agree this is just for 3 weeks right? And he was very clear we'd have another shutdown or national emergency if there wasn't wall funding at that point ...right?

 

[Shoemaker]

Huh. Well nothing so far that contradicts what I said so, cool story bro.

You know that there isn't an election within the next 3 weeks and Trump will still have to cater to the Democrats that control the house ...right?

I'd say it is too early to say.

I’ve been a Pelosi fan for a long time.

 

[ScottE]

Watching these two ghouls, Nancy and Chuck and really can't fathom how anybody can vote dem...or call themselves a Democrat. I honestly just don't get it.

As opposed to the orange lump that's president?

You think the GOP Senate has the appetite to go through this again?

Lol at the list of douchers who quoted my last post. 3 weeks. Trump made it clear what happens in 3 weeks.

 

[Juventud]

Pelosi stepping all over Trump gave him submissive PTSD flashbacks to those Russian Hookers pissing on him so he caved.

Admire Trump fans ability to spin no Wall funding & caving as a win.

 

[MikeMcMann]

Losers make excuses.

Indeed. Like calling it 'winning' when Trump caves and gives Nancy EXACTLY what she demanded 3 weeks prior after he stated emphatically he would not.

Deal with it!

uh-oh

Trump better report in his as he has upset his other mistress, you know the other gal who has made him his bitch and is now bellowing.

I'd rather be in Charleston, Nashville, Savannah, Raleigh, Fayetteville, Fort Myers, Jacksonville, Ashville, or Greenville off the top of my head, there are probably more. Huntsville, AL, is supposed to be great, but I haven't been there. If Texas counts the list grows longer. I'd even rather live in New Orleans, but I wouldn't want to live there either.

The fact that you mentioned rap music and named a liberal city as the "unofficial Capitol of the South" tells me that are priorities are probably pretty different.

I have houses in Charleston, Savannah and Atlanta. For food, culture, and business opportunity Atlanta is the hands down winner. For hunting, fishing and beaches it's Charleston. Savannah is mediocre on most levels. I spend about 6 weeks a year in Asheville and would spend more if I could. Great city and area but hard business opportunities are tough. My family is in Florida and I would.neber live there. Not my vibe. New Orleans is unbearable hot 3 months each year. Also, Ive been mugged once, had my hotel room robbed and a car broken into all in New Orleans.

Are you aware that in 3 weeks Trump still has to cater to the Democrats that control the house and literally nothing changes?
