[attrayant]

Torpedo and blast.  That's all Trump has left in his sorry bag of tricks.

It was not an impeachment session. You posted that intentionally to mislead. Common term for that is lie.

Trump got his ass handed to him by Pelosi last time they met (remember, the border wall ‘negotiations?), so it’s no wonder he doesn’t want any new meetings, because he knows he’s no match for her.

Semantics...a planning session to proceed or not on impeachment...

And the winner is????

No impeachment inquiry at this time.  I wonder what his mood would have been had the decision gone the other way.  Would he have pulled out a gun and shot Nancy Pelosi expecting that his base would still support him?

America must be proud of its infantile corrupt President

[spidermike007]

There are several issues at stake here. Number one, and the most important one, is that Trump is guilty of countless crimes, and the more they look, the more they will find. Of course Trump knows this, as that is just who he is.

 

Number two, Pelosi is infinitely smarter and more cunning than Trump. She outclasses him on every level. He also knows that, but is in denial, and there is not much he can do about it, other than behave like a 13 year old, and storm out of meetings. Do not investigate me, please. I have way too much to hide. I am the president. Can't you show me the respect and fealty that I deserve? Others do. My ardent devotees do. Why can't you? 

 

It appears that this is the most disorganized, chaotic, chaos driven, incompetent, unskilled, inexperienced, naive, soulless, vapid, pilotless White House staff, in the history of the US. Congratulations Trump. You are number 1 in chaos, and ineffectiveness. And it appears you have little in the way of policy, other than refilling the swamp with your own crocodiles, and handing over the remaining wealth in the US to the major corporations, billionaires, and the top 5%. Good work.

 

 I used to be in commercial real estate in New York. I met a few people who had direct dealings with him. They all said the same thing. After walking away from the closing table, they felt as if they had just spent 6 years in a federal penitentiary, and had been abused by every inmate, every day. This man was so abusive, so hostile, so unwilling to leave even one dollar on the table. They said if they did not really need to do the deal, they would have just walked away. That is just who this man is.

So Democrats come BACK to the White House, as mutually agreed three weeks ago, prepared to take action for the American people with what everyone agrees is a solid Infrastructure plan, and what does trump do? Behave like a recalcitrant 11-year-old who has clearly had is way forever, and storm out of the meeting.

 

I think most of us who are parents would be gravely disappointed if our children behaved this way. That we are talking about a 72-year-old man just makes this incident more disappointing. I really feel for the folks who wasted their vote on this "experiment".

 

Even when the republicans were barking at the Whitewater/Travelgate door President Clinton was able to compartmentalize and move forward with the job of making things better for Americans.

 

trump has his eye on one thing; making things better for himself.

 

The end of his presidency will be far uglier than Nixon's. No David Frost around for a feeble attempt at redemption.

 

 

 

 

 

 

he will not go gently into that good night.  he will have to be literally dragged out of the White House like Julian Assange. oh where is the Bard that we need him, or at least the good Dr.

"...a previously unscheduled Rose Garden appearance.."

So is safe to assume that he just happens to have permanent signs out in rose garden "no collusion" etc?

 His walk out and staged tantrum are similar to young child who hits his head, waits for mommy to show up, and then bursts into crying and wailing session.

 Nancy may have used "the I-word" and he couldn't contain himself? He's called demos traitors, treasonous, enemies of the people, etc etc on public forums....

Who's the snowflake?

it was a quick Kinko's rush job.

Don’t get it twisted. Trump is the one with the picket sign.

 

It’s often said that when our founders wrote the Constitution, they had a leader like Donald Trump in mind when they included various safeguards for our liberties and against abuses of presidential power.

I think that gets it wrong. The framers could not have imagined a president like Trump.

Yes, even Schumer (whom I have no admiration for).  At that meeting he got DT to say "if there's a shutdown I will own it."  Not that it was a savvy move on Chuck's part, it was just DT getting caught up in his own babble.

Howard Stern (ugh! another one!) said DT was a great guest (back before he ran for office) because he was completely unfiltered, no telling what he would come out with.

Just give him enough rope....

Trump is , right now, announcing that he is using $16B of taxpayers money, yours/mine, to but votes for 2020.   He is bailing out the farmers from a situation that he created by his "beautiful" tariff plan.  He also says that the $16B will quickly be recovered by the "trillions" of dollars that the US will be getting from the tariffs.  What he fails to explain or possibly understand is that China is not paying the tariffs, the US consumer is paying the tarrr4ifs with incresed cost of product, personnel layoffs and business closures.   I can't believe people believe his BS!

Trump in 2019 (from the Rose Garden):

"I don't do coverups."

Trump in 2020 (from prison):

"I don't do windows."

Well, trump had a full-on meltdown on Thursday, he's getting close to a "Commander Queeg-like" performance soon.

 

Clearly, Speaker Pelosi has gotten under his paper-thin skin.

 

I agree with the Speaker, trump's family needs "take the car keys" away from dad, a difficult thing to do as those of us who have witnessed declines in our parent faculties can attest.

 

I used to feel sorry for the voters who actually believed he cared about them and would help them. Now I do feel for him and his family. What a sad way to go out.

 

Mine are sincere "Thoughts and Prayers" for the Trump family.

 

 

[Gecko123]

The thought of Trump in the White House for another 18 months is terrifying. Pelosi has ripped back the curtain and voiced what the majority of Americans already think: that the President is involved in a cover-up, the President is unstable, and the President struggles to fulfill the duties of the office. My confidence in her leadership is surging.

Like Chomper said... America deserves better.

[mtls2005]

When you have to refer to yourself as a "Stable Genius" - what does that even mean? - , insult your opponents with schoolyard-level insulting nicknames and trot your staff out to say publically that "you were calm", the war is lost.

 

trump's own (inner) dragon lit him up. Self-immolation is always ugly. He's a cinder.

I would love to see Trump take a modern day IQ test.  Most of them are pattern and number sequence  recognition .  I imagine that he would tear the test up after the first question because he didn't understand it!

Either Trump is incapable of adding 2 + 2 and getting 4 or he is just plain lying again and trying to fool the public about where the tariff cost is born. Any person with any business experience whatsoever would know that tariffs are an import charge levied at the border upon arrival. I assume that every member here knows this, Trump must know it, thus, he is just a liar (or plain stupid).

 

As others have pointed out, tariffs increase the cost of imported goods. The Government of the importer collects the tariff, goods cost the importer more (landed cost), the higher price is passed along to the end-user. Yes, it substantially increases the government coffers (and takes from its citizens).

 

Gawd, how did that lying, stupid buffoon ever get elected?

 

 

[Briggsy]

Sadly, and yet again, today's headlines are focused on the "playground insults" exchanged. This is exactly what Trump wants and it brings the discussion down to an infantile level, again something he revels in.

 

The Democrats haven't really figured out a good strategy against this Trump tactic which he has used countless times to good effect. It is truly straight from reality tv. It works because a huge chunk of the electorate lack the time, the interest or the intellect to delve further into these stories and all they get is the tabloid headline about who called who what.

 

And the media just print it as they need eye-catching headlines. "Trump walks out of infrastructure meeting" won't pull in many readers.

Really? You think that's the takeaway for most people? Not Trump's refusal to work on vitally important legislation until the Dems stop all investigations? In other words Trump putting his concern for himself over the welfare of the nation?
