Trump's Shutdown End "Deal" : A Cynical PR Stunt Worth No More Than An Ounce Of Doggie Lickspittle
Dotard spewing bollocks to spin his phony, one-sided "deal" earlier today.

How many times before the American people to wake up to the fact they're being played by the noisome con man and criminal masquerading as a president? How many, for example, will be intelligent and percipient enough to grasp that what Trump called a "negotiation" when he announced his BS with fanfare earlier, was nothing of the sort? It can't be a negotiation if it was never discussed beforehand (and agreed to) with the other side (the Dems) and simply dropped in a contrived photo-op.
That is what actually transpired, so House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was quite correct to reject it even before the PR ploy even began - given she KNEW Dotard never brought it up to discuss with her - and just dropped it into the public media pool. What did we see? In exchange for temporary concessions on the status of threatened migrant groups, Donnie Dotard doubled down on his demand for a border wall and $5.7 billion to fund it - this barely a day before setting up a website to get donors to send virtual "bricks" to Pelosi and the Dems.
Now, let's clear up several layers of this bullshit:
1) A budget funding bill was already approved when the Reeptards stilll held the House back in December. That allocation included exactly $1.6 billion to fund Trump's stupid mythical wall. If Trump and the Repukes didn't like it they ought to have changed the allocated funding THEN and demanded more. They didn't.
2) Trump's pseudo generosity supposedly gives the Dreamers 3 years of deportation protection, i.e. to remain secure in this country before being rousted in the night and offloaded back to Mexico. THREE YEARS! Look, the Supreme Court already essentially delivered one whole year by not taking up a DACA case and leaving a lower court judgment in place - which already keeps the Dreamers safe for a year. So, in other words, Dotard is really offering only TWO years with his cynical ploy and in return for full wall funding (or at least that's what he says now, most of us with sense believe he will come back for more in a short time, especially if the Dems collpse)
3) This whole thing is just an elaborate dog and pony show for a captive audience (his degenerate base) when Mitch McConnell could stop this shutdown in two heartbeats, just by bringing the bills Nancy Pelosi already passed in the House to the Senate floor. The excuse Bitch gives that he can't do that unless Trump approves is pure, cockamamey BS of the ripest sort, and as one furloughed TSA worker put it earlier today "Just does an end run around the Constitution".
But what did Bitch say today? Well that Dotard's offer "strikes a fair compromise". As Janice put it, "What? Does this guppy- faced asshole really talk out of his ass and think out of there too?"
Given all the preceding it shouldn't take a Mensa member to figure out Trump is simply using this bottom basement pseudo deal in a PR photo op to put pressure on the Dems. This is in the hope it will alter the public opinion polls. So far, we know public opinion has Trump being blamed by nearly 55% to 39% for the shutdown. Also, for some weird reason, the Republicans in congress only get 5 percent blame. Go figure.
But let's cut to the chase. Given Trump is offering NO permanent protection for the Dreamers - as he did in 2017- this farce is dead in the water. Pelosi, Schumer et al were particularly incensed that Mr. Trump’s offer extended protections to Dreamers and T.P.S. recipients that he himself revoked.
This is like a terrorist grabbing three family members and holding them hostage in return for $1 million, then asserting he will let them go for two weeks before kidnapping them again - to hold for more ransom. In this case, Trump is the terrorist, and he cannot be allowed to get away with this hostage taking and certainly not for this phony deal being offered, which was really a unilateral demand - not a negotiation.
As Senator Richard Blumenthal (CT) put it:
“I think it’s simply more fake promises raising false hopes. It will fool few Americans because it’s neither serious nor credible as a real remedy for Dreamers.”
Well, sir, I do hope it will fool only a "few" Americans and not alter the opinion polls to now blame Dems more than Trump and the Reeptardos. If that happens, Janice's suspicions that my countrymen are mostly "imbeciles" will be confirmed.
As I wrote earlier , no matter how much devastating crap is going on with this gov't shutdown Trump must not be appeased. Give in now, especially to a transparently cynical, self-serving and bogus deal, and he will use the same ploy again and again. Maybe next time for the debt ceiling coming up soon.
As we also expected Trump's lapdog Pence, briefing reporters after Dotard's 13 minute spiel,, said the speech reflected a painstaking process of listening to lawmakers, including rank-and-file Democrats who made it clear they believed that protections for DACA and T.P.S. recipients must be included in a border security deal.
While I can certainly sympathize with all of these Trump victims, they are basically in the same position as hostages taken by a demented terrorist. Sadly, this terrorist cannot be rewarded any more than if it was a high level ISIS vermin who'd taken prisoners. That means, above all, the Democrats cannot give into his insane demands, not now, not ever. However long this thing drags on, it is up to Trump and the Republicans to end it and in an honest full disclosure manner, not using a bad faith cynical PR ploy as we beheld today..
