In reply to Truthiz1. Folks need to start doing like me. Anytime something comes out of Trumps mouth I automatically think it’s a lie first. Then if it gets proved to be true later that’s when I will believe it.

NR Reader:
If there has ever been a leader less credible, less accountable, less qualified, less competent and less serious than Donald Trump, I am at a loss to identify who that would be.

This buffoonish gasbag spent how many months burping up grandiose promises about his big, beautiful, mighty wall, to be paid for by cowering and subservient Mexicans?

Anyone with a brain bigger than a dried up turnip knew he wasn’t going to deliver anything remotely close to his promised “Trump-Henge” wall.

But Trump’s supporters are saps – They’re immovably gullible and will defend him with the same stubborn stupidity of the abused and betrayed wife whose husband cheats and beats on her.

Trump jilts them, uses them, abuses them – and they go right back for more. […]

NR Reader:
As the saying goes, “elections have consequences “. The GOP squandered many opportunities over the past two years and now have to live with the results. […]

When I saw those Finish that wall signs I knew he was going to pretend he won and all they have to do is a little more left. This has to be the biggest con man alive. He has no choice but to sign this deal except now he will pretend like always he is the winner.

Btw- I did a quick drive-by of a few popular right-wing sites (Redstate, Townhall, National Review) and found that -with the Exception of NR – right-wingers are mostly trying to ignore this sorry Trump tale. Acting as if the whole thing never happened.

Kudos to the editors of NR for acknowledging the obvious: “Republicans Are Stuck with a Lousy Deal”

[The deal falls far short of his demand for $5.7 billion in funding for a barrier at the border. At $1.37 billion, it is short even of what had been the Senate’s bipartisan compromise of $1.6 billion before the shutdown drama.

But the other options aren’t palatable. If the president opts for a so-called continuing resolution in lieu of the deal, he will get less funding for a barrier, because the CR is based on current spending levels. If he opts for another shutdown confrontation, he is likely to be abandoned by Senate Republicans not eager for a third kick from Mitch McConnell’s proverbial mule.

If this is a disappointing state of affairs, it’s a product of poor choices, by Trump and congressional Republicans, on one of the president’s top political priorities. It was malpractice not to get more funding for a border barrier out of Congress when it was held by Republicans (though the Democrats might have filibustered any deal they didn’t like). It was bizarre that the White House didn’t formally request more funding last year, before Trump drastically increased his demand to $5.7 billion near the end of process. Finally, it was foolhardy to lurch into a shutdown without a viable strategy for getting out of it. ] – NR
