Official LRC President Donald J Trump Thread

fascinating debate going on at the networks - whether or not to cover spanky's speech live,

they know it will be full of lies and distortions but he is the president, calling out a national emergency.

what do you do?

this is what happens when a low life criminal wins the presidency with 90% approval of his party. Everything just stops working well.

100% he will call for a State of Emergency. It’s his only play. D Day is the 11th when people start missing paychecks and the squeeze is on through the 25th. He has said this is a Humanitarian and National Security Crisis. He will roll the dice with the courts as this will surely be challenged and a split Congress is limp in this situation. This way he saves face with his base as The Wall will bounce around the courts until election season.

Coal mines closing despite Trump's promises:

Another lie idiot Trumpvestites fell for.

and japan is about to stop buying US wheat because we are not in the TPP, so we are priced of their market.

trump is systematically hurting his rural supporters. So bad. but hey, if losing money is what it takes to break farm states away from trumpism, fine. I feel bad for the farmers losing lots of money, but they voted for the schmuck. I sure didn't.

Between soy and wheat, farmers are getting their butts kicked.

coal miners are on some other planet politically - and there are hardly any of them left - hard to get too worked up about them.

Sadly the banks intervene before democracy. Uncertainty is bad for business.

...and what will he do with a 'state of emergency?'

Mines will continue to close. Coal is too expensive. The coal that's easy to mine has already been dug up. Then when you do dig it up you have to ship it. Then when you burn it you get sued by neighboring states for fouling up the air.

Keep coal and oil in the ground where they belong.

You do realize that you just pointed out how I am CORRECT and how your previous post is INCORRECT, right?

there is zero question that trump has the support of conservatives. Yeah sure you can find a few never trump conservatives, but 99.9% of them are on board the trump train whereever it goes. Conservatives=trumpers=republican party. It's all the same thing now.

Freedom caucus GOPers are trump's biggest supporters. That tells you all you need to know. Put that in your cup of tea and drink it.

What part of "Simply can't follow Trump and be a conservative. No way. No how." are you having a hard time understanding?

and another thing, as long as I'm here

The senate Rs have completely abdicated their lawmaking responsibiities. They have said 'eh, let Trump negotiate the budget with the Ds, we'll sign off on whatever Trump agrees to.'

it's awful and disgusting. A real senate leadership would have votes on bills to pay the governemtn and make trump say yes or no, at risk of being vetoed.

but the senate Rs are completely owned by trump, so they won't do anything on their own.

embarassing and as un-conservative as possible.

Wait, did you just say that the senate Rs are "as un-conservative as possible."?

And what is the logical conclusion, my little friend?

It's not his only play. A sane president could work out a "DACA for wall" deal with the Democrats.

He could also agree to some of the piecemeal legislation being offered, like funding the IRS so people can get their tax returns and funding the TSA so upper class people are not inconvenienced too much. He might be able satisfy Rush and Ann for awhile if he doesn't agree to too many of the piecemeal bills.

I'm still putting the odds at 50/50 that he does call for State of Emergency. It's not the only play, but it's the dumbest one so he's very likely to go for it.

You have to cover it. Don't have to cover the President on everything, but when the President is responsible for a current government shutdown and he's going to give a speech, you cover that...journalism 101 says so.

Democrats are threatening to not pass any legislation until the government is reopen.

I don't know if that is different than any other work week for Congress, though..

So, suddenly the Trumped-hated MSM must televise Trump, raw, uncut, and off-the-rails.

Nothing to see here. The Republicans accomplished very little in 2018 -- par for their course.

Imagine: Trump could have had his wall by pressuring easy to fold McConnell just a month ago. All McConnell had to do was suspend the Senate rules to allow a simple (minded) majority to pay for Trump's "wall of ego".

I don't know, you almost feel bad for the people who believed him. However, it takes very little effort to do some research and see that coal is dying mostly due to the price of natural gas, and not because of government regulation. Even wind and solar are becoming cheaper, and will continue to cut into coal's market share. It doesn't matter who is in the White House, the coal industry is shrinking and will continue to do so.

Anyway, here's another lie from Trump:

“This should have been done by all of the presidents that preceded me and they all know it," Trump said of his wall obsession. "Some of them have told me that we should have done it.”

Problem is, they've all denied telling him what he claims they told him.

It would then become a DOD project. The military would build it. That’s the theory.
