Cohen can’t testify because Trump is threatening him. Yeah, ok bro. Cohen is just a liar...

I thought the conclusion was that everyone there was acting like a **** head. I’m not sure what the deal was with the Indian guy though. He didn’t say anything objectionable did he?

Should of used his left hand....

It was the wrong call but not obvious. I think that call came from the ref that was behind the play and what he saw was the defenders arm swipe down and Brady’s head move so not a terrible bad call

I can see them not wanting the saints to win and wanting an LA team to make it to the super bowl, but Tom Brady is on the way out and Maholmes is a rising star.... it doesn’t make a whole lot of sense to tilt the game the patriots way when Brady’s brand is on the way out. If your fixing games I would think you would want to look toward the future and give someone who is going to be in the NFL the next 15 years a chance to build legend. that pi no call was very very atrocious but other than that the officiating was OK..

Those birds with the long necks sure are ugly looking things.. o_o

there is more than one way to “stand your ground”

Needing the money for a wall or not, that wasn’t my point. My point that the dems voted for a barrier before but now they are acting like it’s worth shutting down the government over. And it’s not the 6 billion they take issue with this time, it’s a single dime. The republicans had plenty of time to build a wall if they really wanted one, but now they are acting like it’s worth shutting the government down over. The difference is the republicans are “offering deals” they know the democrats won’t take (like a temporary daca deal instead of a permanent one) while the democrats response is a flat no. I would rather them “offer deals” than pack their **** up and go home.

I agree, it is mostly a power struggle.

not gaslighting. https://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2017/apr/23/mick-mulvaney/fact-check-did-top-democrats-vote-border-wall-2006/ Politifact does a decent job trying to turn a fact into a half fact by giving top dems excuses for voting for physical barriers, but a vote is a vote.

If you get 36 percent of the total us population (not of the electorate) to go out and vote for you i think you win most of the time. Especially since most of the democratic population is in a few states and with the electoral college set up the way it is.. I agree that a long shutdown is foolish, but i don’t see trump caring about that.

Yea, and that’s 36 percent of the population. Those people are insanely committed to trump. As long as he has those 36 percent he can get re-elected. He doesn’t need to open the government. I just wonder how the people who are advocating not negotiating with trump see this playing out.

The dems do not have to cave... they really don’t even have to give him a offer that he can accept. But giving him no funding for a wall (despite giving money in the past) is a bad look imo. It plays good in the short term, but democrats have more to lose that trump does. He’s approval rankings are already in the tank and his supporters want a fight, they don’t even care about winning. I think as time goes on a trump keeps going on the tv making “offers” to the democrats and their response is a flat “no” (as they did tonight) it will grow tiresome for more and more people. The dems should be making their own offers that give him some money for a wall (1-2 billion) in exchange for permanent DACA, and any other stuff they can cram in. Then they can say they are making offers to pay for a wall and trump isn’t negotiating.

Isn’t the government typically shut down as a bargaining chip? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Government_shutdowns_in_the_United_States Seems like every time it has been shut down it’s because the president wants x and the controlling party doesn’t want x. (or vice versa). I’m not seeing anything particular unique about this case. Seems that is what the dems should be asking for, but they are not.
