Para,

I didn't mean to piss you off, and I am not planning on bringing up any politics talk at this reunion. In fact I have a plan to just simply leave if any of the more rabid ones want to try and harass me about who I voted for.

Stand your fuggn ground and repeat, President Donald J. Trump, President Donald J. Trump, President Donald J. Trump. I live in liberal wonderland and you should see the looks I get around town wearing my Trump 2020 - Keep America Great tshirt. I'll buy you one if you'll wear it to the reunion.

So the hosts of Morning Joe are pissed?

Hmmm, looks like Scarborough is getting bad press.
It appears to be about a young woman found dead in then Congressman Scarborough's office.
Nice skeleton there Joe.
Maybe you should shut up.

Trump the mad genius!

quote:

Oh, the mad genius of Donald Trump!

On the cusp of one of the biggest victories of his administration, cracking down on illegal aliens who commit vicious crimes inside our country, President Trump took to Twitter.

“I heard poorly rated @Morning_Joe speaks badly of me (don’t watch anymore). Then how come low I.Q. Crazy Mika, along with Psycho Joe, came to Mar-a-Lago 3 nights in a row around New Year’s Eve, and insisted on joining me. She was bleeding badly from a face-lift. I said no!”

The only thing missing from this electronic presidential address was the Marine Band playing “Hail to the Chief.”

She was bleeding badly. Face-lift. Low I.Q. Psycho Joe.

It is all so delicious. Mercilessly inventive. Joyously vicious. Like an entire season of pro wrestling drama, all sewn up into two little Twitter messages.

Complete article, good read

I know it's been said before, but I'll say it again; Thank God he won and not HRC!!

Yep, the press is all talk about the Morning Joe tweet.
Meanwhile, the House passes 2 immigration bills and the media missed it.

The House of Representatives passed the No Sanctuary for Criminals Act by a 228-195 vote Thursday which bars federal funds from sanctuary cities if they do not cooperate with federal immigration enforcement efforts. The vote was largely along party lines with three Democrats voting for the bill and seven Republicans voting against it.

The measure, introduced by Rep. Bob Goodlatte (R-VA), would also allow victims of crimes committed by illegal immigrants the ability to sue sanctuary cities if they “released the alien from custody prior to the commission of such crime as a consequence of the State or political subdivision’s declining to honor a detainer.”

The White House is very supportive of the measure saying it would “ensure that American taxpayers are not subsidizing States and localities that work to affirmatively thwart Federal law enforcement efforts.”

The House also passed Kate’s Law Thursday which requires a five year prison sentence for anyone who reenters the country illegally after being deported twice.

**************

Let's see what the DEMs do in the Senate. Especially those DEMs up for reelection in 2018.

To follow that, does anyone know who the lone Republican was that voted against Kate's Law?

EDIT: nevermind, found 'em. Justin Amash from Michigan, he also voted against defunding sanctuary cities. Direct quote from his US Rep page

When asked by a New York Times reporter to describe his voting methodology, Justin explained: “I follow a set of principles, I follow the Constitution. And that’s what I base my votes on. Limited government, economic freedom, and individual liberty.”


Reeeeaaaaaalllllyyyyyy....

The House passed legislation on Thursday to crack down on illegal immigration and enact a key priority of President Trump’s known as "Kate's Law."

In largely party line votes, the House approved two bills. One would cut off some federal grants from so-called sanctuary cities that limit cooperation with immigration authorities; the other would impose tougher sentences on criminals who have entered the U.S. illegally multiple times.

“For years, the lack of immigration enforcement and spread of sanctuary policies have cost too many lives,” said House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.), the author of both bills.

The sanctuary city bill passed 228-195, while the sentencing bill passed 257-167.

Three Democrats defected from their party to support taking away grants from the sanctuary localities: Reps. Matt Cartwright (Pa.), Henry Cuellar (Texas) and Collin Peterson (Minn.). Seven Republicans voted against the bill: Reps. Justin Amash (Mich.), Carlos Curbelo (Fla.), Mario Diaz-Balart (Fla.), Dan Donovan (N.Y.), Peter King (N.Y.), Dave Reichert (Wash.) and Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (Fla.).

House Democratic leaders encouraged members to oppose the bill to withhold funds from sanctuary cities, but didn’t apply as much pressure on “Kate’s Law,” which establishes higher penalties for criminals who have entered the country illegally.

Twenty-four Democrats voted for "Kate's Law." Amash was the only Republican to oppose it.

The sentencing legislation is named after Kate Steinle, who was fatally shot in 2015 in San Francisco by a man who had had seven previous felony convictions and was deported to Mexico on five previous occasions.

Trump had invoked the shooting on the campaign trail to promote his immigration agenda, including at his speech at the Republican National Convention last summer when he accepted the party’s presidential nomination.

Nope, they saw it...just figured they'd get higher ratings with their low IQ viewers (the majority) with the nonsense drama that everyone seems to enjoy these days. DJT is a masterful tactician and I doubt the media fully comprehend how well they are playing into his hand I am loving every single moment with this man the President of the United States of America!

President Trump is stirring the pot with his left hand to keep the press preoccupied and getting things done with his right

They can't keep up with him and they can't cut him off because they don't know which direction he's going to go (I love it)

So refreshing to have a real President.

mutedblade, the flaw in your theory is timing. Trump made the tweet an hour before the legislative day was convened in the House. On top of that:

HR 3003 (No Sanctuary for Criminals Act) began discussion at 2:07 PM EDT, and passed at 5:15 PM.

HR 3004 (Kate's Law) began discussion at 3:33 PM EDT, and passed at 5:26 PM.

In other words, Trump set the news cycle with his tweet.

My wife, after a long day at work, came in tonight and stated "They're all upset about his fuckin' Tweets, who fuckin' cares; he's getting shit done!"

Winning

We all know Trump is getting some things accomplished.
However, the media tells me he isn't.
Fake News.

If there have been even 10 people in Congress, over the last 100 years, whose votes (even half of their career votes, even) were actually a result of the above quote I would be amazed. At best, we have a couple or so, every generation, who sort of do that sort of thing, sometimes, maybe, if the cameras are on.

Actually, "cow" can be used to mean intimidate:


cow.
[kou]

VERB
cause (someone) to submit to one's wishes by intimidation:

"the intellectuals had been cowed into silence"

synonyms
intimidate · daunt · browbeat · bully · tyrannize · scare · terrorize · frighten · dishearten · unnerve · subdue · psych out · bulldoze

The pharase "cow two" probably was intended to be "kowtow to" but that implies they had been cowed into it.

From the files of it’s not very presidential . . .

“The trouble with Hooker is that he’s got his headquarters where his hindquarters ought to be.” Pres. Abraham Lincoln about General Hooker

“His ambition, his restlessness, and all his grandiose schemes come, I’m convinced, from a superabundance of secretions which he couldn’t find enough whores to absorb.” Pres. John Adams about Alexander Hamilton

“I have only two regrets. I didn’t shoot Henry Clay and I didn’t hang John C. Calhoun.” Pres. Andrew Jackson

“A blind, bald, crippled, toothless man who is a hideous, hermaphroditic character with neither the force or fitness of a man, nor the gentleness or sensibility of a woman .” Pres. Thomas Jefferson about John Adams (See this but I haven't vetted all the quotes.)

Yet, somehow our country survived.

Bleeding from a facelift may be TMI but Presidents have not always been verbal tea totalers.

I am often reminded of how I would say to myself, “Oh, I wouldn’t have said that.” But, then I remember that in our overly-political correct times, President Trump’s rhetoric left him standing apart from all others to be elected.

Who would of imagined 2 years ago being where we are today? Trump is still living up to the thread title and I love it.
