What a bunch of baloney.

You want corruption? Republicans will show you corruption. A good many of Republican officials are under ethics investigations or have resigned due to unethical conduct. Several departments are now headed by lobbyists for the industry they are supposed to provide oversight for. Trump himself is looking at over a dozen lawsuits.

As far as elitism goes, you'd be hard pressed to find a Democrat who can match Trump for elitism. Good Lord, his wife is flying on the taxpayers' dime to Palm Beach every weekend, during a government shutdown no less. Doesn't get a whole lot more elite than that.

As to acting in their best interests of their constituents, Trump and the Republicans have run up the national debt during a time of prosperity in order to give the wealthy a huge tax cut. Now Trump is running a shakedown scam by shutting down the government. 800,000 people aren't getting paychecks, but Trump says that's fine because they are mostly Democrats anyway.

Simply posting lies doesn't change the truth of the matter.

Were you aware of that?

Nancy Pelosi is confused about whether she works for the government of Mexico or the United States.

It's a coin toss for her.

So, Trump hasn't destroyed everything the Democrats have done with corruption and elitism in the last 38 years of Chuckie and Nancy's time in DC?

What a hero. Trump was the one who revoked it in the first place.

Trump is alien to the swamp creatures way of life, that democrats now think is the right way to run the government. Democrats who accepted being told like children, 'we have to pass it to find out what is in it', are upset the legacy of government corruption is being challenged by Trump.


Having no idea how government works, trump won out over 16 veteran repub candidates, the media darling HRC and defied the prediction of pundits who showed how numbers that proved trump could not win in 2016.


the same elitist academics that live off government grants, graduates of Harvard and yale school of economics, predicted it was impossible to achieve the numbers trump has reached in terms of the economy.


Apparently Trump does know more than the government establishment and its grant sucking supporters.

They are already temporarily protected by the courts anyway. SCOTUS just recently declined to hear the case, so who knows how that ends up.

Plus, Coulter and crew are shrieking about even this meaningless gesture. So who knows if Trump would even follow through.

Trump is a pathological liar and an unreliable partner in negotiations.

Ask McConnell if you doubt this.

It was a bad offer from Trump. His offer of a 3 year reprieve would have left the same young people in limbo 3 years later. Offer something permanent and then there is a basis to talk.

It will never happen. Heritage and RW pundits would have to find new talking points.
