There are video clips of him saying it.

Don't hear much about health insurance these days. Wonder if he'll mention it in his State of the Union speech.

They can go on as long as they pass new ones.

So every month, they can pass a stopgap budget extension?

One year, when Jesse Ventura was Minnesota Governor, the legislature couldn't pass a budget. They wanted to extend the sessions.

Jesse said nothing doing. He wasn't going along with them getting paid for overtime when they couldn't get their job done during the regular session.

He said he'd lock the doors so they wouldn't be disturbed. He'd even set his "bulldog formerly known as Franklin" to guard the doors.

But there would be no money for an extended session.

Guess what?

They passed a budget and all went home.

He was a character all right. But he's got nothing on Trump.

Donald - are you lying now or were you lying then?????????????

Trump says he didn’t use that word “sh!thole” …… and several of the GOP representatives were in the meeting when he said it. My guess they’ll back him up because their running for office again and need Trump’s money and support to win.

If Donald really wants to prove what he said, he needs to contact his old friend Obama and ask for the recording that was made. He’s always blamed Obama and knows there WH is always being recorded…… lol

Story hitting the WSJ detailing the condo sales of POTUS, those he owned and also those which he sold his name to.

Something like 22% of the sales could be considered actions to launder money. Cash sales to LLC's. Some have been broken through and the money came from a bank in Krasikstan. They also include Trump SOHO.

The old saying, "don't throw stones if you live in a glass house".

The POTUS still owns a lot of glass houses.

Not only POTUS but his kids.

Ivanka is attached to a couple developments backed by Russian laundered money and one in Panama that also had drug cartel money.

When anything comes up in the Russia investigation, this is all the crap they try to circle back with. Trumpers are living in an alternate reality where this investigation isn't going on.

I found this a fascinating read if anyone feel like going down the rabbit hole:


Who is QAnon? The Storm Conspiracy, Explained

All the democrat donors in America are seconds away from being arrested by the FBI, because technically they were funding the child-sex operation that is Pizzagate (which was true the whole time). All of their property, from corporations to houses, will be liquidated and redistributed to the Trump faithful. There is a global shadow war being fought, Mueller is actually working for Trump, and Hillary is their mutual target. The false alarm in Hawaii? It was cover for Trump's shadow troops to arrest high-level DNC officials without being noticed by the media. That's the same excuse they use for everything that happens.

It's absolute unhinged crazy talk.

Speaking of unhinged, just read about Trump's press conference today with the President of Kazakhstan, who he’s been laundering money with for several years.

CNN reporter Jim Acosta asked, “Did you say that you want more people to come in from Norway?"

WH aides began shouting in his face to drown out his questions. Trump pointed at him and demanded he be thrown out of the press conference for asking a question.

WTH?

Does anyone have a link to a video clip of this?
