All along, I've believed that Putin's only goal has been to weaken the United States. I don't think he really cared if Trump or Hillary Clinton won the election as long as his interference created division and political chaos.

Objectively and from his own point of view, Putin has done very well.

3. #FuckingMoron only cares about the 1%.

All of his language is couched in terms of the 1%. He wants to lower taxes (on the 1%). The dems "want to substantially RAISE Taxes (on the 1%)"

He doesn't see a deal because his craptastic plans are godawful failures, but it has to be someone else's fault.

4. he WANTS a gov shutdown!

It will work perfectly for him. He is trying to shutter all those agencies anyway. This will just give him the excuse to make it permanent. He will just move emergency funds around to keep the part he wants going.

Everything else, including muehlers office gets frozen.

Destroying America is Pooteys plan and drumpf is his ignorant raging puppet. drumpf even said that the last recession was a bonus for rich folks like him who could pick up properties, stocks for a fraction of the true cost. He said he totally made out and so he sees the government closing as a personal windfall, plus it's what Pootey told him to do. He doesn't care that it hurts all Americans, elderly and safety net folks, and probably is actually happy about that part, being the evil vindictive ass that he is. He wants to make us weak so russia can take over as the predominant power and drumpf is doing his dead level best to make this happen for his love/master.

Not to mention, I thought he was the best deal maker ever. Yet, here he is ruling out a deal being made. The Republicans control both Houses - therefore it is not on the Democrats to vote for something they are against.

Norquist, who wrote the anti-tax pledge that all Republican politicians are required to sign (in their own blood, if I remember correctly), believes that anything except cutting taxes - including not addressing taxation at all - is a tax increase.

"Chuck and Nancy" in quotes? Those are their names. He's calling attention to his demeaning practice of using first names to make them seem less important.

Also, capitalizing important Words like he's speaking German?

His cholesterol-induced health crisis can't happen soon enough.

He sat down with Peloisi and Shumer, and had two other leaders from his right wing party before country sitting on a couch, and they remember that he said that he wanted to work with Nancy and Chuck on immigration and DACA, and now he sends out this blather, your party is the one that is going to shut down the country, asshole.

Now he is blathering that our party is weak on crime (earth to sexual predator, we want answers on conspiracy and traitors, while your party has Dana Rohrabacher, Sessions, Flynn, Kusher, Trump and others ).

And as for raising taxes, your party of the BS is going to eliminate my deductions, and then go after my/our Social Security and Medicare to pay for the lack of funds that is being given awsy to those that don't pay now, like Wells Frago, and 27 other major corporations and hedge funds.

Your death panel party have already stop paying into the state CHiPS program, and now you and your party wants to have a full blown death panel law by removing health insurance coverage through the ACA, which the CBO has scored and said that it will fail to do what your gang wants....................

16. You can tell Trump is tougher on Crime and more Pro-Country because he Capitalizes the words.

And you know he feels the same way as you about those "Dem Leaders" because he puts neutrally worded, derisively delivered nicknames for them in quotes. Those libtards don't even know they're being insulted! HAW HAW!

And you know with 100% accuracy he's telling the truth about "Them" wanting to raise YOUR taxes because he put the entire word in caps, not to mention he capitalized Taxes, which again, reminding you again in case you forgot during the 30 seconds it took you to read this post, means he is much better on Taxes than anyone.

These are all really great techniques. The best I tell you. It's no wonder so many people voted for him, or why he was such a tremendous success at business before he entered politics.
