Trump ducks bombshell BuzzFeed accusations to rage tweet at Nancy Pelosi

https://www.rawstory.com/2019/01/trump-ducks-bombshell-buzzfeed-accusations-rage-tweet-nancy-pelosi/

snip of article:

The president has not yet addressed the allegations. Yet, he did issue an angry tweet at House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) this morning.

“Why would Nancy Pelosi leave the Country with other Democrats on a seven day excursion when 800,000 great people are not getting paid,” he wrote. “Also, could somebody please explain to Nancy & her “big donors” in wine country that people working on farms (grapes) will have easy access in!”

He needs to go period.

also this from Raw Story:

https://www.rawstory.com/2019/01/the-world-is-laughing-at-trumps-america-and-we-cant-even-keep-our-government-open-former-time-editor/?utm_source=push_notifications

Former TIME managing editor Richard Stengel told MSNBC on Friday that President Donald Trump’s government shutdown is making a mockery of America’s efforts to spread and promote democracy.

“We are the only western democracy, the only functioning big democracy in the world that has government shutdowns,” Stengel said, comparing the current paralysis in the U.S. unfavorably to Brexit. “The big picture in a way for diplomats is we go around the world preaching democracy telling people how to work it and they look at us and go, ‘you guys can’t even play this game, you can’t even keep your government open.'”
Stengel said one particular country was laughing more than the rest: Russia

“Every morning when Vladimir Putin opens up his newspaper and sees that the United States government is shut down, he smiles inwardly,” Stengel said. “This is exactly his whole policy for the past two decades, is to undermine the way America works, the way democracy works, so we can’t go around the world and say our system works better than these other systems.”

“I don’t know if he’s supporting the government shutdown,” Stengel added. “But he takes a lot of pleasure from it.”
