Quotable Quotes

Hmmmmm....

"STOCK MARKETS ARE CRASHING, JOB NUMBERS ARE TERRIBLE, WE ARE HEADING TO WWIII, AND WE HAVE TWO OF THE MOST INCOMPETENT 'LEADERS' IN HISTORY. THIS IS NOT GOOD!!!" ~

"Schumer is a Palestinian as far as I'm concerned. He's become a Palestinian. He used to be Jewish. He's not Jewish anymore. He's a Palestinian." ~ Trump
 
"Schumer is a Palestinian as far as I'm concerned. He's become a Palestinian. He used to be Jewish. He's not Jewish anymore. He's a Palestinian." ~ Trump #1,342
I've followed Senator Schumer's political career since he was a member of the house of representatives, now Senate minority leader.
I don't doubt Schumer's sincerity. BUT !

If Schumer caves on the continuing resolution (CR), he forfeits powerful political legislative leverage.
If Democrats were present at the negotiating table when Republicans Johnson [R-LA] & Thune [R-SD] composed this CR, and the Democrat's
perspective was given due consideration, then: "Elections have consequences" and Schumer is obliged to capitulate, and help keep government open.

B U T !

If the Democrats were excluded, and
if the CR is crammed full of destructive Republican poison pill legislation,
then shutting down a self-destructive government is the lesser of two sub-optimal options.

Get a spine Chuck !

"What kind of husband goes grocery shopping with his wife?" ~ Fox News host Jesse Watters

"We really need Greenland for national security. Denmark is very far away. A boat landed there 200 years ago or something and they say they have rights to it. I don't know if that's true. I don't think it is, actually...We really need it for national security...Maybe you'll see more and more soldiers go there? I don't know." ~ Trump
 
"We've been ripped off for decades by nearly every country on Earth, and we will not let that happen any longer." ~ Trump

"The same scum you have been dealing with for years. Guys like Andrew Weissman. Deranged Jack Smith...These are bad people." ~ Trump, speaking to DOJ, in front of AG and FBI head
 
"I hardly knew Elon until the election... He backed me, and he got very involved." ~ Trump

When someone buys you dinner or lets you stay at their place for a weekend they expect reciprocity. When they spend over $250 million they expect ownership.
 
Safe to say this is not going to end well.

"Maybe a guy in a robe in DC can follow all the protocols, but Trump is the f-ing President of the United States...He is a leader who does not have the luxury of opening up his little book to read. 'Oh my God. Maybe he didn't do it the right way!' Roberts, shut the F up." ~

This is libel / slander, no matter who says it.
But for the president of the United States to say it, and not make successful effort to keep his tawdry comment off the record, compounds his disgrace.
And because he represents U.S., every U.S. tax paying voter in good standing has yet one more thing to be ashamed of. Have a nice weekend?
 
"The New York Times is just as corrupt as CNN and MSNBC...It's such a dishonest newspaper. It's garbage...They have fake sources, or they don't have sources. They make most of it up...They really are the Enemy of the People." ~ Trump

"No! It isn't truth. Truth isn't truth." Mayor Rudolph Giuliani, personal attorney to President Trump serving as administration spokesperson on NBC MTP 18/08/19

"The true danger is when liberty is nibbled away, for expedients, and by parts ... the only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing." Edmund Burke

The frog metaphor, gradual tightening of the noose over a decade can be more insidious than one sudden blow of equal direct affect.
 
"I think Elon Musk is a rock star. The tofu crowd is mad, but when you trim fat, pigs squeal." ~ Sen. John Kennedy

"Elon Musk turned out to be kind of an a**hole." ~ Sen. Mark Kelly

Kelly's comment explains why Donnie and Musk mesh so well

Musk may be a talented industrialist.
Few if any sensible critics condemn Musk for working to reduce waste, fraud, abuse. BUT !!
Musk's conspicuously, deliberately destructive methods are doing incalculable harm to government, nation, and People of the United States.
It is at best pure ignorant delusion that a simple apology can reverse this harm. "Once bitten, twice shy."
Philanthropically motivated citizens that may otherwise have sought a career in U.S. public service either as a civilian, or military, now because of Musk's mangling may decide otherwise.

Thus not only may the quality of our public servants be degraded from now on.
But as global dangers fester in the Middle East, China, & elsewhere our U.S. military may suffer as well.
The result:
while Musk's machinations delight Republicans, they may also be sowing the seed of the end of the U.S.

"Elon Musk turned out to be kind of an a**hole." ~ Sen. Mark Kelly
I'm confident you've made more constructive observations senator. Name-calling scores low on the list. Thank you for your otherwise exemplary public service.
