KaBOOM!

[malaise]

Take that you vile MAGAcretin. Go Dems!

add link

[SummerSnow]

1. He is fuming mad, I see a angry foaming at the mouth rant rally real soon. lol

Tomorrow he might bust a blood vessel

[malaise]

4. A woman can dream?

Please

[SummerSnow]

19. I would love to see it too, I hope it is tomorrow

[Renew Deal]

2. What happened?

[jpak]

7. KaBOOM!

Just like teh OP said.

Buy a clue - puhleeze

[Stargazer09]

41. Please remember

Not everyone can watch (or hear) videos.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

50. Really clued in DU members provide context in OPs and don't consistently depend on other to do it.

Your command to renew_deal is misdirected.

Not everyone has a TV at home or in the office.
Not everyone is glued to said TV all the time.
Not everyone rushes to a TV just because a DU member posts "KABOOM".

[Pluvious]

62. Thank you for saying that friend. nt.

[malaise]

10. This

[bluecollar2]

15. Was that so hard?...n/t

[malaise]

23. Ask CNN

I thought they made it available in good time but whatever

[Bernardo de La Paz]

45. If it was available you should have posted it or linked it when you created the OP.

I click less and less on content free posts and posters.

We can help each other and not create more work with people asking for context and other people stepping in to help DU members instead of an OP making careful posts and saving everyone lots of time.

Cue the "whatever".

[malaise]

56. It is never available when you are watching it live

I had to wait for a link. The Twitter folks usually get it first

[Bernardo de La Paz]

63. Therefore, it would be wise to not post context-free OPs when such links are not available.

Or provide the context as a description of some action or statements you observed.

It is not difficult and it would be a kindness that many DU members would be grateful for, as evidenced by comments in this thread.

It's nice to be kind to DU members, especially when it is not difficult.

[Achilleaze]

3. May we have a clue, please, sir?

[jpak]

9. Feakin' KaBOOM!

Sheesh

[malaise]

13. LOL

Was waiting for a link

[NewJeffCT]

5. context please

for those of us in the office without TV

[Perseus]

44. I hope am right with my interpretation, I am going to attempt to explain

Democrats are introducing a bill tomorrow which lists many resolutions presented by republicans and approved by the Senate, and I have to assume that it is along with other resolutions presented by democrats, and do not include any money of the "fuken wall" (President Fox). In other words it should be a no-brainier for the republicans to approve, as it has legislation presented and already approved by the republicans themselves.

Sooo, what democrats are doing is giving republicans some bait, and if they don't byte it will be reaffirmed that the "government shutdown" is entirely owned by republicans and the man-child.

It makes it more difficult for the senate to not pass legislature that was already passed by them, and of the orange buffoon to veto, although he doesn't understand any of it, and as a brat that he is, he will insist on his "fuken wall" so he may not sign.

It would be a 1st victory for this congress to reopen the government, true leadership.

I hope I am being true to the facts.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

46. Or at home without a TV or not being paid to monitor TV channels.

OP has a habit of doing this.

[Kingofalldems]

6. Come on now. No idea.

[Shell_Seas]

8. Did I miss something?

[Bernardo de La Paz]

47. No. The OP frequently doesn't provide context until called out on it. . . . nt

[bluecollar2]

11. This thread is useless without context...n/t

[maxsolomon]

12. 2 words too many

This thread is useless.

[bluecollar2]

14. Agreed...n/t

[Bernardo de La Paz]

49. Yup. It has happened at least once before :eyes:

[onecaliberal]

16. The press in this country is an embarrassment.

[bluecollar2]

18. Agreed...

Who was the stupid woman who asked why submit a bill the president won't sign?

Chuck should have responded, "it's time to hold everyone accountable. We draft the bill, the Senate approves, the president ratifies. If he vetoes we vote to override.

If we fail to override we know why it failed.

The people can see exactly where every individual stands on the issue and judge"

[onecaliberal]

20. They're literally voting for a bill almost all Republicans including McConnell supported.

Pelosi and Schumer explained very well. They cannot allow the press to turn on it on Democrat’s. This is ALL on Trump. He wanted it, he said it on tv. We all saw it. There is little of the fourth estate left. It’s starting to reveal what it will look like during the campaign, it doesnt look good.

[bluecollar2]

22. Agreed...I was discussing this with another "evilDUer"

In another thread. There's an English radio host by the name of James O'Brien who has an excellent ability to separate the wheat from the chaff.

Does anyone even teach journalism any more?

[onecaliberal]

33. They're reading what they've been told to say by the corporate masters.

[malaise]

37. And their corporate owners are the oligarchs who are

enriching themselves as a result of this kakistocracy that they financed and continue to enable.

[Honeycombe8]

38. +1. nt

[erlewyne]

26. The point is, give him the bill so he won't sign it.

He then takes the responsibility.

The G.O.P. becomes complicit if they allow him a free ride.

[Kingofalldems]

17. I heard a loudmouth Fox reporter telling them to give in.

[malaise]

24. I heard that too

The House is a powerful institution of the state - they will learn

[skylucy]

51. Is that the reporter who kept interrupting & screaming that the President said he won't sign the

bill while Nancy P. etc. were trying to talk? It sounded like a woman's voice and she just yelled through the entire thing.

[Kingofalldems]

52. Yes. She seemed outraged they wouldn't bow to Trump's demands.

[nolabear]

21. Thanks malaise. Love they dumped it into McConnell's lap.

[malaise]

25. Me too

[guillaumeb]

27. Recommended.

As Pelosi and Schumer each said, the Democrats in the House will pass the Bill that the GOP already passed in the GOP controlled House.

The same Bill that passed the GOP controlled Senate.

So Trump is at war with the GOP.

[DinahMoeHum]

28. "I want a wall!!! I want a wall!!!"

[malaise]

29. Perfect

[LakeSuperiorView]

31. Waaaaaahhhlll!!!

[yuiyoshida]

42. Spot on...

That's exactly what it probably looks like.

[Takket]

43. it is just missing the huge buldge from the loaded diaper.

[mucifer]

30. Top of the hour AP radio news bullcrap this afternoon:

The democrats refuse to negotiate with donald trump and the republicans. They do not have a plan. I swear to G-d that is what I heard on my car radio. The only thing they added was Nancy Pelosi saying the dems want to open the government and start negotiations.
But, the story as a whole was a flying piece of dung and smoke came out of my ears.

[malaise]

32. Truth be damned

They have their hacks and goons

[Roy Rolling]

34. Notice

Not one talking head, but five competent adults with a grasp of the issue of hostage-taking.

They are responding to the subtext of Trump, not his words. The Democrat team is five, strong people working as one. It's been decades since we've seen such a force in Congress. They know how to negotiate and use power, weak negotiators like Trump and the Republicans are about to be taught a lesson.

The GOP has been successful at destroying government because they had monopoly power. Not only do they not have monopoly power now, it's been so long since they've faced a challenge they are totally weak and untrained. Let the rout begin.

[malaise]

39. They will attempt sabotage just like during the Obama years but this time

Dems have the power of the purse and lots of investigations and procedures

I want the tax returns

[George II]

35. Beautiful - they're going to introduce and pass TWO funding bills that have already....

.....passed the Senate "led by Mitch McConnell" and McConnell's "exact bill". No chance of worrying about them being rejected by the Senate!!!

And who said she wasn't smart enough or clever enough for this shit?

All he can do is sign them or veto them, and if he vetoes them it will be HIS shutdown, not "the Democrats" or even the Senate republicans.

Hoisted on his own petard!

[honest.abe]

36. Well done Nancy and Chuck!

[Honeycombe8]

40. This is what governance looks like.

It may seem fruitless to propose bills that put forward what the Senate has already agreed to, knowing that it won't pass because it doesn't contain the one thing that Trump wants.

But it's a good start. It gives the Republicans chance #2 to re-open the government and re-affirm what they already agreed to. Two different bills...one pushes it off until shortly in the future, giving them more time to negotiate.

At least they are doing something that is adult, responsible, legal, respectful of the process. This is part of governing.

[Beartracks]

61. Remind McConnell he's supposed to work for the people, not for Trump. n/t

[pazzyanne]

48. For the first time in 2 and a half years, I am hopeful for our future.

[panader0]

53. Thanks for this and the other video too. I was out and missed them.

[malaise]

57. You're welcome

[trof]

54. Pelosi is way more articulate than Schumer.

I understand exactly what she is saying and what she means.
Him? Not so much.

[tmaynardr]

55. Why is this so hard for Democrats...???

Just keep saying their lies back to them. We don't need any money for the border wall, Trump promised Mexico would pay for it. Make Trump argue against himself.

Its.
Not.
That.
Hard.

[malaise]

58. Agree

Welcome to DU

[Hekate]

59. Once again, Pelosi and Schumer lead the way in hoisting TrumpGOP on their own petard.

This is a thing of beauty.

[malaise]

60. Yes indeed

It is a thing of beauty!
