The curious case of Patrick Meehan. He wants the person he paid off to waive their prohibition on speaking to clear his name of any wrong doing . Seems inconsistent with his negotiating a settlement from his office fund to buy silence.

Trump needs to step up his game. Statue of Liberty closed due to shutdown. Keeping up appearances is not working out so well at home in NYNY.

Was at the Philly Women's March. Seemed packed. Lots of cool images out there on the web from across the country.

Loida Hopkins, a stay-at-home mother in Sharon Hill, Pennsylvania, said they focus on his actions, not his language.

"Let's set aside his personality. What about what he's actually doing that is benefiting us?" Hopkins said.

On paper, Hopkins seems a likely Democratic target: Daughter of two illegal immigrants, she collects food stamps, suffers from enormous debt and voted for Obama in 2012.

But the devout Christian said she voted in part for Trump because of his opposition to abortion and believes that God put him in the White House for a reason.

She also said she was working hard to better herself, unlike other welfare recipients, and did not object that wealthy people and corporations stood to benefit from the tax law. Her husband, she said, is receiving a bonus from his company as a result.

You gotta love Republicans crying because Democrats won't vote for CHIP! :lol:

Parents of children who get CHIP benefits know exactly who's to blame for the letting the program expire. They've been following the process closely for two months now so they're very informed.

And the fact that he was fucking a porn star while married is a-okay, I suppose? Selective morality is a hellava thing.

No matter how bad the GOP gets they still wrap themselves in the flag and hide behind the military.

Here's something that will piss people off--apparently, income tax refunds don't get sent out while the government is shut down.

FAKE NEWS (picture) / REAL NEW (message)

Thank you for calling the White House. Unfortunately, we cannot answer your call today, because Congressional Democrats are holding government funding, including funding for our troops and other national security priorities, hostage to an unrelated immigration debate. Due to this obstruction, the government is shut down. In the meantime, you can leave a comment for the president at www.whitehouse.gov/contact. We look forward to taking your calls as soon as the government reopens.

In trumps defense...I think we are seeing more and more that’s he’s not involved in anything congressional in nature. He’s doing as told in exchange for the ability to roadshow in heavy leaning republican states/districts.
On a scale of 1 to Chris Brown, how pissed is he?

This is, and always has been, a larger GOP issue. And I'm not talking about just the shutdown. Everything. They've encouraged and enabled his worst instincts and their base has eaten it up.

I'm really hoping it becomes obvious that this russian scandal is about the whole party, because it is.

The racists have control. Between him and Miller, it's a KKK shit show at the WH.

McConnell, says he'll do the DACA thing if govt is reopened. Um, I trust you completely, Mitch. Fool me once, shame on you; fool me a thousand times and we have the present day GOP leadership.
