Shitgate 2018

Another cry for help from the man who is tired of being President.
 
Rep. Diane Black (R-TN) tried to blame the government shutdown on former President Barack Obama on Saturday

WTF ?


"Congresswoman, the fact does remain that the Republicans have control of the White House, the House and the Senate,” said MSNBC White House reporter Kristen Welker.

“So how does your party not bear
responsibility for this shutdown?”

Take the reins, Donald, take the reins! Make a deal, man! You can get Wall Money! (Nope. A man with the will of a bowl of jello, cannot take the reins.)

Congressional Budget Office determined that by making it a six-year extension, it would actually reduce the deficit. Extending it permanently came with much larger savings, but that was apparently too much government health care for the GOP rank-and-file to swallow, so leadership went with the six-year bump. That wasn’t enough of a bargaining chip to persuade Democrats to cave on the demands of 800,000 young immigrants — a demand that President Trump simply follow through on a DREAM Act promise he had already made.

There is a flu or a cold going around that is particularly vicious. It knocked me completely out of commission for three weeks straight. It got worse everyday for a week, and even when it finally peaked, the recovery was painfully slow: I’ve never been that sick for that long in my life. In fact I can still feel it four weeks later. One bug that’s going is called the Aussie Flu, or maybe I just had a cold that was especially virulent. Whatever it is, it’s all over Texas:

Do you have a common cold or do you have the flu, that dreaded illness that's been running rampant through the state of Texas?
