So WTF happen? Trump turned democrat...

Conservatives having a meltdown. Trump sides with Schumer and Pelosi  for 3 month increase on the debt ceiling. Ryan and McConnel are pissed. I guess this is trumps way of getting back at his "own" party for not getting things done, like health care. Now republicans are on the hot seat, disown and bail on trump or????

...Dealmaking Donny wrote the book on it.  But Dickhead Donny doesn't know dick about dealmaking in politics so vets Schumer and Pelosi ate his lunch...then promptly threw up (who the fuck can eat that fast food crap Trump eats?)

 

A conservative POV & a liberal POV.  Not surprisingly, they both agree:

He's never been anything close to a real Republican and has always leaned much more to the moderate or left.  How in the fuck is anyone surprised by this?  In fact, nothing that Trump has done since taking office is really surprising at all.  This is the way he does things and it achieves his No. 1 goal -- putting himself at the center of attention at all times.

And, this is one of his MO's. Pitting people against each other, while he looks on from the sidelines. It may have worked, well enough, in his family business, but it's not working out, so well, with his administration, nor his agenda.

My two cents.  Apparently FEMA may have run out of money without the funding approval by this weekend.  Without the 3 month on the debt ceiling it was not clear whether FEMA could spend the money.  So instead of dicking around for a few days while IRMA moves toward Florida and maybe getting more than 3 months he took the 3 months.  Could he have gotten the 18 months the R's wanted - probably tough and would involve a public fight.  The D's apparently showed no sign of moving off the 3 months in the meeting.  Could it also be a shot across the bow of Ryan and McConnell that he has no idea what they could actually deliver?  Maybe that too.

I look forward to a big fight in December and if necessary a government shutdown if a true compromise can't be reached.  If the D's want that fight and want to be shown as inflexible, bring it on.

So any GOP supporter who thinks a government shutdown is possible.
If they don't get their way, is a fool.

Just imagine the GOP animal house shutting down the government, during the holiday season.
You will be playing right into the liberals hands, going into 2018. Lol

Desperation is the perfect word. He cannot come to terms with his own party so he now crawls back to a Democratic party for help. Our party is not in any place of power which should tell all just how pathetic Trump has become to need Democratics for support! Eeeek! Good post!
