Trump to Nancy:
Your trip overseas is postponed if you want to fly in Government planes
Try Jet Blue if you must go.

Yes, your Pettiness.
Nancy went low.
Trump went lower.

Trump just is lower.

There is no need for him to go.

Except... he thinks she will care about that and she won't. And he thinks it makes him look strong and it doesn't.
Hmmm. Washington is disfuctional. I have been telling you that for years.

How clever of you.

No,  you mostly haven't. You've been busy claiming the Dems are dysfunctional, while not discussing the GOP at all unless to praise them.

Writes this Fox news team: "It was not clear whether Giuliani was reflecting a new position or talking point from the Trump legal team or was making a strategic attempt to get ahead of potentially damaging findings from special counsel Robert Mueller."

Given how hard Trump has pushed to convince us that he controls everything his staff does...

A crazy week in the House of Representatives.

Less than a month into his new two year term, a GOP Representative has resigned to go work in the private sector. I am sure his donors are thrilled with that!

The other side of the aisle is having its special moments, too! Rep. Ed Case (D-HI) says he's an Asian man trapped in a white body. You can guess how well that went over. https://www.cnn.com/2019/01/17/politics/ed-case-hawaii-comments/index.html

If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you.

And another shoe drops:

It was never about drugs. It was never[/b] about gangs. It wasn't about illegal immigrants.

https://medium.com/@SenJeffMerkley/merkley-reveals-secret-trump-administration-plan-to-create-border-crisis-f72a7c3de2bd?fbclid=IwAR2n_CLHrbUu8Ia3HWvMDmBGpkuDGAv-c3y8xY7pQk54n85A-pwIMVwCGio

It was about blocking and deterring asylum seekers.

Quote
The memo goes on to describe how to effectively deter family and other caretakers from coming forward to sponsor children while their asylum cases proceed, keeping children in detention longer. Specially, one senior administration official said
Quote
“I would suggest referring sponsors for criminal prosecution… if information indicates that the sponsor facilitated the travel of the minor into the United States.”
Another official says
Quote
“This would result in a deterrent impact on “sponsors.”

Meanwhile, in Wisconsin, a judge struck down Scott Walker's and the Wisconsin GOP's efforts to restrict early voting, college IDs, and reciept use for identification. They sought to keep as many Democratic Party members from voting as possible.

Scum.

I am glad they lost this. I hope they will lose their efforts to restrict the new (Democratic Party member) governor's power, the way the NC legislative effort to do the same thing got slammed.
