Trump: “I come here to call for UNITY (which I never did when my party controlled both the House and Senate, but now we lost the House so I am begging you for UNITY which really means give me everything I want or I’ll shut down the government and if you honor your Constitutional duty of oversight I won’t allow any legislation to advance.”
Or, paraphrasing Stephen Colbert in his live show immediately after the speech: “You can have EITHER legislation OR investigation. One or the other. After all, who ever heard of BOTH law AND order?
“Unity if you do it my way. Threats if you have any ideas different than mine.”
On a related note: Today Adam Schiff (D-California) refused to be intimidated by Trump’s threats and announced five new areas of investigation that his committee will begin. Number five was to investigate any efforts by any person, domestic or foreign, who tries to impede or obstruct any investigation, whether by the Justice Department (Mueller) OR BY CONGRESS (you know, the crime that Trump just committed on national TV).
Brilliant cartoon, as usual, but I’d really like to see a moratorium on Trump himself. I don’t want to see video of him, I don’t want to hear him, I don’t want to read what he’s twitted, I don’t want to see – OK, cartoon images are fine. What I really want to see is reporting of what he and his Republican party are doing, actions that are largely ignored in favor of the focus on Trump himself. Meanwhile, those actions wreak ever more havoc.
Yeah. Plus we, U.S. citizens, are, according to Trump, either in the “Working Class” or in the “Political Class”. No longer “United” but “divided”. I’m guessing he means Democrats (Working Class) and Republicans (Political Class), or the Poor (working class) and Rich (Political Class).
Good news…Doctor says I’m in pretty good shape. Who cares? you ask. It means i’ll live to see the fat turd crash and burn. Hallelujah Jesus, you’ve answered an old man’s prayers. Confusion to our enemies!!!

We’re gonna believe this from a man who took out a full page newspaper ad calling for the death penalty of five innocent black boys?

Does this mean that he will knock off with the “Lock her up “ chants at his rallies?
amethyst52 Premium Member about 5 years ago
No, those mouth breathing, knuckle draggers will still chant whatever bullsh%$ he spews.

The Dems launched their attack yesterday, no one is going to listen to liar Trump.

Tyrant Trump has led a privileged life, and yet he acts grieved and put upon as if we all owe the liar and thief something.
He deserves to be put in prison.

So I take it “Presidential Harassment” does not mean the tweets coming from the president daily?

The only definition of “unity” he understands is “everyone do what I tell you.” Too bad that is 100% incompatible with democracy.
