[Daily Caller] President Donald Trump responded Saturday to news of his confidant Roger Stone’s Friday indictment with a list of Democrats and justice officials he wants to see in trouble for alleged lying.
"If Roger Stone was indicted for lying to Congress, what about the lying done by [James] Comey, [John] Brennan, [James] Clapper, Lisa Page [and] lover, [James] Baker and soooo many others? What about Hillary [Clinton] to FBI and her 33,000 deleted Emails? What about Lisa [and Peter Strzok’s] deleted texts [and Anthony Weiner’s] laptop? Much more!" Trump wrote Saturday.
[FOXNEWS] Rep. Maxine Waters U.S. Representative for California's 43rd congressional district, serving since 1991, a total of 27.155548964211473 years. A member of the Democratic Party, she is the most senior of the 12 black women currently serving in the United States Congress, is a member and former chair of the Congressional Black Caucus. Before becoming a member of Congress she served in the California Assembly, to which she was first elected back when Disco was in flower, in 1976, which would make it 42.153495576121124 years. She has been a politician for virtually all her adult life. If she was brighter she'd be a Communist... '>Comrade Maxine Waters took the helm of the Financial Services Committee this month after easily winning re-election as part of the Democrats’ House takeover. But according to the Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, Democrat’s post-election filing ‐ which has prompted fresh calls for a full audit ‐ her campaign may have some financial issues of its own to sort out.
The Citizens for Waters report to the Federal Election Commission from Dec. 11 lists $183,022 in debt to her daughter Karen Waters, who is in charge of distributing "slate mailers."
The mailers have faced scrutiny since 2010 because the campaign, beginning in 2004, has paid Waters’ daughter or her public relations firm Progressive Connections to produce, print and mail the sample ballots. Watchdog groups have raised questions about the propriety of campaign funds financially supporting a family member, as well as Waters raising contributions in excess of federal limits through an unusual process. Since 2004, the campaign has paid the younger Waters almost $1 million, based on previous news reports.

Good. It's been 50 years waiting for Republicans to play Ethics Hardball.

This is totally different than the traditional Hollywood casting couch where a woman trades sexual favors to get a leg up (heh) over the competition. Totally different. No, really.

What? You expected him to show remorse? You know that's not the Democrat way. He wants everybody to know he was banging a hot chick (if you consider Doberman Pinschers hot).

Harris is the only one who, after I helped her, sent word that I would be indicted if I “so much as jaywalked” while she was D.A.
The sex couldn't have been that good.

Same as in hollyweird.
Those acting whore themselves out and those behind the scenes abuse their positions in exchange for sex favours.
[Washington Examiner] Robert Mueller is trying to force Roger Stone to "flip" and incriminate President Trump by indicting the veteran Republican operative on charges that leave him facing the prospect of dying in jail, according to Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz.
"The obvious purpose of indicting him on these obstructing and false statement charges is to put pressure on him to flip. That's the goal," said Dershowitz, a Harvard Law School professor emeritus.
"Will he flip? Nobody knows the answer to that. Michael Cohen said he would take a bullet for the president, and he's become his opponent," he said. "[Stone] said recently he would never cooperate and testify, and I take him at his word. But when he's told by his lawyer that he's facing essentially spending the rest of his life in prison, you never know what people will do."
Stone, arrested in a dramatic FBI raid before dawn on Friday, has vowed not to turn against Trump. But the 66-year-old operative now faces a long sentence if convicted of five counts of making false statements, one count of witness tampering, and one count of obstruction of an official proceeding.
Dershowitz said more than a decade behind bars is likely if Stone’s convicted on all counts. "If you do them consecutively rather than concurrently, it's probably more than 10 [years] and he's no youngster. You're talking about dying in prison," he said.
[Washington Examiner] House Freedom Caucus Chairman Mark Meadows, R-N.C., said Saturday that if President Barack Obama could send money to Iran as part of the 2015 nuclear deal, President Trump should be able to find money to build the wall along the southern border without being blocked by the courts.
"Listen, if President Obama can send $1.8 billion to the Iranians ‐ I can tell you I didn’t appropriate that ‐ certainly finding a few billion dollars for border security on our southern border is something that this president can do legally and without a challenge," Meadows told Fox News in an interview.
Trump announced Friday that a deal to temporarily end the partial government shutdown, which then was in its 35th day, had been reached. The agreement included no money for a wall along the southern border, as the president has demanded, but reopened shuttered agencies through Feb. 15.
Republicans and Democrats have until then to negotiate a broader immigration deal, in which Trump wants to include wall funding.
The president said that if a deal cannot be reached, he would declare a national emergency to circumvent Congress and build the wall.

I think we have to realize that certain political persuasions have a lot of trouble with the B word, and even more with the actual amount. What's a C-5 or 4 crammed to the gunnels with currency? Kind of like their new found morality against the existence of billionaires. Well, unless it's the Castro brothers, or Chavez' daughter, to pick but 2 of many.

According to the USAID website, the US government between 2009 and 2016 dished out approximately $3.3 billion to Mexico in foreign aid. Those were the years when Baraq was in office. That figure does not include Honduras, Guatemala and Nicaragua. Stop all that nonsense and you'd have a significant down payment on the wall. As I said before, Democrats squander $5.7 billion every morning before breakfast. It's not the money that's stopping them.

It's not the money that's stopping them.
Of course it's the money - the money they're personally going to lose by losing elections without illegals to vote for them.
[The Hill] Conservative firebrand Ann Coulter late Friday continued to blast President Trump's decision to end the 35-day partial government shutdown without securing funds for a border wall, saying he was outmaneuvered by Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.).
"We thought, ’Hey, maybe this guy’s wacky enough, he won’t care what the elite say, and he’ll build the wall.’ That was what put him in the White House. He has got to build the wall," Coulter said on Los Angeles radio station KNX.
"There’s no question but that Nancy Pelosi got the better of Donald Trump."
Coulter on Friday afternoon called Trump "the biggest wimp ever to serve as President of the United States" after he announced that he would support reopening the government with obtaining funds for a border wall.
The immigration hard-liner has repeatedly pushed Trump to immediately start construction on a wall and she said shortly before the shutdown began in December that she would not vote for Trump again in 2020 without a border wall.

Lee out played Grant at Spotsylvania, the Wilderness, and at Cold Harbor too. Lee's problem was that Grant didn't give up like his predecessors and go back to the swamp. He keep dogging Lee. We all know how that story turned out in the end. Let's see if Trump keeps dogging.

Nancy Pelosi did come out ahead, at least in the short term. But she had a far stronger hand, controlling the branch of government that initiates and has final say over finance bills. The President can't force Congress to finance anything. That's just how it works. Taking it further would have been a good thing, in my opinion, because it would have readied the country for a talk on how we need to get government out of all of the stupid and controlling activities it is in, but it would have given everybody in the country a lot of short term pain because the government has wormed its way into controlling so many productive industries in this country. Even new freaking beer labels have to be approved by the government. As long as the conversation was going to stay about the wall and not about how much government we have, we couldn't beat Nancy Pelosi with the hand we had been dealt.

Wars are not one or lost in one battle... Unless you are a fanatic and try to plug up the enemy's cannon with your soldiers' bodies. Pelosi "Won" this one, now what can she "Win" from that Victory?
[Breitbart] Meghan McCain, co-host of ABC’s The View and daughter of the late Sen. John McCain (R-AZ), told CNN’s Van Jones in an interview broadcast Saturday that she hates the United States without her father’s leadership. Interview follows:

She hates America for moving on without a McShame dynasty. She gets paid absurd money to bloviate on TV. It's unlikely that would happen anywhere except in America.
Can you say ungrateful? I knew ya could...

Fat blond cow is free to leave but I suspect she makes too much money with the other rabid moon bats on The View to actually tear herself away from it. Too bad.
