The 2020 Democratic Debates Will Begin In June of 2019

To silence the criticism that there weren’t enough Democratic primary debates, the party has decided to host at least 12 debates starting in 2019. The Washington Post reported that polling and grassroots support would be the gauge concerning who will earn a spot on stage. Six debates will be held next year in states that aren’t holding early primary contests.

So, grab your popcorn, whiskey, and maybe an Advil or seven because the amount of candidates running in 2020 is going to be astronomical. And thus, the level of insanity is sure to reach biblical levels. The circus is coming to town.

I predict the central theme that will dominate these debacles is how to GET TRUMP! KILL HIM! MAIM HIM! HURT HIS KIDS!  I make that statement with a reasonable amount of metaphysical certitude.

It is not my intention to spend the next few years reading about the rants of this deranged hag.

“There seem to be some discussions ongoing on the floor of the House right now among Republicans around trying to pass the short-term funding bill. They’re discussing adding wall funding, there’s also potentially adding disaster funding—is there any situation you think Democrats could support beyond a clean continuing resolution?” Hunt asked.

“It depends what they have to say, but not wall funding. I think we’ve made that clear, wasn’t that clear? We will see what they come up with in terms of disaster assistance,” Pelosi said. “We will see, but in terms of wall funding, that is a non-starter and I think they know that.”

NEVER LET A CRISIS GO TO WASTE

Pelosi Fundraising Off Possible Government Shutdown…

Via DCCC email:

I’ll get to it right away. Tell Trump: No wall. No shutdown. Stop the tantrum and keep the government open through the holidays.

I want to be 100% clear about this: Trump is about to close down the government because we won’t let him waste billions of taxpayer dollars on an immoral and ineffective wall.

If Trump doesn’t get money for “steel slats or a wall,” hundreds of thousands of federal workers will be thrown into financial uncertainty — right in time for the holidays.

During this busy travel season, TSA agents and air traffic controllers will work without pay. Federal workers won’t know when they’ll get their next paycheck — or when they can pay off their credit card bills, filled with holiday travel expenses and gift purchases.

Let him know you’re against his wall and his impending shutdown. Add your name >>

We can’t and will not let up,

Nancy

… nor heat, nor having cancerous nodules removed from her lung will keep this fossilized socialist from putting her personal opinion ahead of the security of the country.

Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg Voted Against Asylum Restrictions From Her Hospital Bed

In what seems like a case of potential elder abuse, Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg cast the deciding vote against President Donald Trump’s asylum restrictions from her hospital bed, where she just underwent surgery for lung cancer.

Instead of allowing the 85-year-old justice to rest on the day she had cancerous growths removed from her lung at the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York, she was put to work in the hospital room.

NBC News has learned Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg voted FROM HER HOSPITAL BED to refuse to let the government enforce Pres. Trump’s proposed restriction on asylum,” reporter Gary Grumbach tweeted. “The court voted 5-4 to leave a lower court ruling in place that blocks enforcement of the crackdown.”

THIS IS WHAT DEMOCRATS DO:

In 2009,the late and unlamented Klansman, Robert C. Byrd,was brought from a hospital bed for a vote. Nothing ever stops them from shafting the US taxpayer.

Despite Fragile Health, Byrd Is Present for Votes

DEC. 23, 2009

In what has become a poignant ritual during a fractious debate, Senator Robert C. Byrd, the 92-year-old Democrat from West Virginia, was pushed onto the Senate floor in his plaid wheelchair Wednesday afternoon. It was his third appearance of the week, each prompted by a vital vote.

Senate Democrats need every one of their 60 votes to prevail in the donnybrook over a health care overhaul, and this week faced a series of cloture votes — required to end debate on the bill — to move the legislation ahead. That placed no small burden on the frail nonagenarian, who spent six weeks in the hospital last spring with a staph infection, and who did not deliver his customary Christmas address on the Senate floor this year.

Much to the dismay of patriots, Chief Justice John Roberts has turned out to be another republican-appointed Justice who turned out to be a democrat quisling.

Chief Justice Roberts is the new Swing Vote, or worse

Roberts joins liberal Justices in denying Trump request for stay of lower court ruling halting new asylum process. An ominous sign.

This is an ominous sign.

Chief Justice Roberts has been sensitive to political criticism of the Supreme Court.

It was widely reported in 2012 that Roberts succumbed to a public pressure campaign from Obama and Democrats that the Court would lose its legitimacy if it overturned Obamacare. Roberts reportedly changed his vote to uphold the Obamacare mandate as a tax, to the fury of the four conservative Justices who wrote a dissent that sounded like it had once been the majority opinion.

Roberts also saw fit to make a public pronouncement after Trump criticized a San Francisco federal judge for a decision enjoining Trump’s new policy on processing asylum claims, which held that people who illegally crossed the border could not apply for asylum. After Trump referred to the Judge as an Obama Judge, Roberts issued this statement to AP:

“We do not have Obama judges or Trump judges, Bush judges or Clinton judges,” Chief Justice Roberts told the Associated Press.

“What we have is an extraordinary group of dedicated judges doing their level best to do equal right to those appearing before them.”

Supreme Court Rejects Trump Bid To Enforce Asylum Crackdown

The decision leaves in place lower-court rulings that blocked the administration from automatically denying asylum to people who do not go through official border crossings. An open-ended nationwide injunction on enforcement issued by a San Francisco-based federal judge this week prompted the Justice Department to seek immediate relief from the Supreme Court.

Jeff Flake Will Introduce Bill To Raise Taxes Before Leaving Senate

Sen. Jeff Flake will co-introduce carbon tax legislation in his final two weeks in office.

• Flake became a prominent anti-Trumper and is now teaming up with Democrats to push climate policies.
• Most Republicans and conservative groups oppose carbon taxes.

Outgoing Arizona Republican Sen. Jeff Flake will soon co-introduce legislation to tax carbon dioxide emissions, according to news reports.

“Now that he’s leaving office, he no longer has to fear Yellow Jackets,” Daniel Kish, a senior distinguished fellow at the Institute for Energy Research (IER), told The Daily Caller News Foundation.

Kish is referring to the tens of thousands of French protesters, called “yellow jackets,” who took to the streets to protest increased carbon taxes on fuel set to take effect in the new year. The French government scrapped the carbon tax increases, but protests have not stopped and moved to other issues.

McConnell to introduce a short-term govt funding bill for voting TODAY with no border wall funding

Even Trump is backing off on funding the border wall. We’ve been played again.What else is new? Maybe he realizes he’s up against a stacked deck and cannot possibly prevail when his own party stabs him in the back at every turn?

There will never be any funding for the long-promised wall. It’s all hyperbole designed to keep us hoping somebody will do something for the middle class Americans who pay the freight for all these freeloaders.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell announced on Wednesday that a short-term bill to fund the government through Feb. 8 will be introduced later this morning, a deal that would avert a partial government shutdown over the Christmas holiday.

That resolution will not include $5 billion in funding for the border wall that President Donald Trump said was a must in order to have his approval in order to fund key parts of the federal government before they run out of operating authority on Friday.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said that Democrats would support the stopgap measure.

“Yesterday, we made some progress. Thankfully, President Trump appears to have backed down from demanding $5 billion for a border wall,” he said.

Speaker Paul Ryan laments ‘broken politics’ in farewell address

More than perhaps any other individual, this sorry prick is to blame for losing the House. He made sure Obamacare survived and the wall will not be built. To think he was the VP candidate in 2012. He can now retire to a seven figure job as a lobbyist.

Ryan’s departure also comes six weeks after an Election Day that saw Democrats capture House control. Their triumph followed a campaign in which they battered Republicans for trying to repeal and replace former President Barack Obama’s health care law, a primary GOP priority, and for their alliance with Trump.

“The House will become the care of a new majority, and what I know will be a spirited Republican minority. I wish our next leaders well,” he said. “It is precisely because all of this is so momentary … it is because you are just a small part of history, that you are inspired to do big things. On this score, we have achieved a great deal.”

Under Ryan, Congress approved the biggest tax cuts in decades, boosted defense spending and rolled back Obama regulations protecting clean air and water. But annual federal deficits are surging, Medicare and other expensive entitlement programs are growing and their attempt to scuttle Obama’s health care statute crashed.

2 more moderate Kansas GOP legislators defect to Democrats

This is from Yahoo News, which has never said anything positive about Donald Trump. Their commenters are, for the most part, juvenile bedwetters with anger issues.

Two moderate Republican legislators in Kansas became Democrats on Wednesday, capping an unprecedented round of GOP defections in the Kansas City suburbs that soured on President Donald Trump and a close political ally of his in this year’s race for governor.

All four women are from Johnson County, which is the state’s most populous county and which Democratic Gov.-elect Laura Kelly carried in the November election.

Kelly defeated conservative Republican Kris Kobach, the Kansas secretary of state who trumpeted his endorsement by Trump. Kansas City-area voters also showed their displeasure with the president by electing Democrat Sharice Davids, a Native American and LGBT lawyer, to Congress, ousting Republican incumbent Kevin Yoder.

Piers Morgan RIPS Michelle Obama over her “Bitchy Sniping at Melania”

Appearing on the Jimmy Fallon Show Michelle laughed in delight at Melania’s gift on Inauguration Day.

She also took a swipe at Melania during the conversation.

How horrible.

The attack came after Fallon showed her a photo of her and husband Barack boarding Air Force One for the last time after Donald Trump’s inauguration in January 2017.

‘Can you just walk me through…,’ said Fallon.

But before he could even finish the question, Michelle interrupted with a sneering: ‘Bye Felicia!’

Fallon collapsed with laughter and the audience whooped with joy.

And wherever she was, Melania Trump must have winced with anger and humiliation.

The phrase ‘Bye Felicia’ is an intensely derogatory one.

It was first coined by rapper Ice Cube’s character Craig in the 1995 cult stoner comedy movie, Friday.

A local girl named Felicia who annoys the neighbourhood with her constant begging, and shameless attempts to live off others, annoys Craig.

It means, depending on which dictionary you refer to, a variant on: ‘I’m done with you, I have no interest in you, or anything you have to say.’

It’s specifically designed to cause hurt to the recipient.

First she made a nasty comment about the Trump inauguration, then she put down Melania’s gift saying it was too much and given outside of protocol. But turns out she did the same thing, showing again how hypocritical she is.

During the entire eight long, agonizing years of the Obama reign of terror, the Federal Reserve dutifully protected his sorry ass by not raising interest rates once. NOT ONCE!! They kept it at 0% to keep his ignorance of anything related to finance from being exposed.

Then comes Donald Trump. Businessman, investor, a financial success on his own. The bastards started raising interest rates every quarter, just to hurt him. They’re meeting today. If they screw him again and cost people with retirements connected to the stock market Trump should fire them all. Every. Last. One.

FED CHAIR SCREWS AMERICA – CRASHES MARKET: Announces New Rate Hike — DOW PLUNGES 720 Points — Updated

The Fed announced on Wednesday afternoon that they will increase rates and will also increase rates next year.

• The Dow immediately dropped 350 points in 10 minutes.
  The market was up 370 points and dropped to 20 points up.
  UPDATE– Dow dropped 470 points in one hour.
  UPDATE: 570 Points
  UPDATE: Dow down 670 points from daily high before announcement.
  UPDATE: (1 hr. 10 minute later) Dow down 770 points.
  UPDATE: The Dow finished -350 points or down 720 points since 2 PM when Jerome Powell started talking.

Market was down at one point by 894 points!

The Fed is clearly a political machine not working in the interest of President Trump or the American people. As a result of Fed policies Americans are being bound with massive interest payments on Obama debt for years to come.

The Dow Jones shrank by 3,200 points since the Fed’s Jerome Powell’s insidious comments in early October to continue to increase interest rates.
