Trump Calls On GOP To Shut Down The Gov't To Defund Planned Parenthood

[DonViejo]

-snip-

Democrats in the Senate on Monday blocked a bill that would remove federal funds from Planned Parenthood, which is in the spotlight after several videos were released that reportedly show representatives of the organization discussing selling fetal tissue.

Republicans could choose to continue attempts to remove federal funding from the organization, by possibly putting the topic in the budget bill, which has to pass by Sept. 30 to avoid a government shutdown, according to The Washington Post.

"That’s the only way to get rid of Planned Parenthood money for selling off baby parts is to shut the government down in September," Hewitt told Trump. "Would you support that?"

"I would, and I was also in support if the Republicans stuck together you could have done it with Obamacare also, but the Republicans decided not to stick together and they left a few people out there like Ted Cruz," Trump told Hewitt. "You know, they left a lot of the people who really went in and wanted to do the job and you know what? If they had stuck together they wold have won that battle. I think you have to in this case also, yes."

1. LOL, ok.

Way to identify yourself with the evangelical fringe, Trumpster.

[cosmicone]

2. Go for it ... especially in 2016

Go ahead, make my day!

[roguevalley]

28. gump, the gift that keeps on giving. Cue Ted Cruz...

[Sunlei]

3. always get the latest about Donald Trump and Gov. Christie right here, in breaking news.

Highest most popular Republican and the lowest, biggest poll loser Republican breakin' news, right here in Democratic Underground DOT com.

[eissa]

4. Well Cruz's ball-licking has paid off

tRump gives what he would consider praise to the lunatic for the shutdown.

As for their plan to do this again -- to quote our President, "please proceed"

[ruffburr]

13. "Please Proceed"

If these Republican clowns think it is a good idea to play the shutdown card, I agree "Please Proceed" Don't stop there why not try to defund soc.sec., While your at it try ending the 40 hr work week, And why not end SNAP too, "Please Proceed" I'm sure that will raise your popularity with the Koch's

[Gregorian]

5. This is not benign conversation. What's happening here is setting a dangerous precedence.

I mean we're going to see more of this in the future since it's not being completely crushed by what should be a true information media.

I'm not enjoying this clown show.

[mike_c]

24. it's baldfaced culture war now....

The only "political issues" that count are the culture war battles that have been politicized. That allows republicans to pour fuel directly on their base without having to singe any big donors. The oligarchs don't give a rat's buttocks about the fates of aborted fetuses or who flies old flags on their pickup trucks. Those sorts of "issues" serve only to keep the culture war crazies angry and disaffected.

[jtuck004]

26. I wonder how much longer planned parenthood has. 6 mos? A year? These people will not quit until it

is closed, and they will burn the country down to accomplish it - no matter who it hurts.

Gotta love the folks who think this vote means anything other than the last attempt before the next one.

And they most likely will kill it.

[PSPS]

30. PP isn't going anywhere. This is just another episode in "feeding the crazies."

[jtuck004]

34. No one thought we would elect a democrat to throw millions into poverty and remove them

from the rolls of government assistance either.

We did.

The day you think they can't get you is the day they figure out how.

[Darb]

37. Huh?

Could you explain what you mean there? Just a tad confused.

[jtuck004]

39. Try google. Not my problem if you didn't pay attention in history. n/t

[Darb]

42. I just cannot understand your drivel. Google won't help that.

Maybe you could recommend a site that somehow translate whatever language you are writing in? And what's with all the >>>>>> stuff?

Just answer the question, what the fuck was that babbling post all about?

[jtuck004]

43. I thought they covered how to do that at the small table so you wouldn't have to interrupt

the rest of us.

Sigh...ok, very well - here is a link that shows you how to use google, and I even threw in some words - they may be longer than you are used to, but, again, google.

http://lmgtfy.com/?q=bill+clinton+regrets
About 988,000 results (0.35 seconds)

(For someone as easily baffled as you say you are I even showed you how to use google. don't bother me with that one again).

Damn, that's a lot of regret. For extra credit, try searching for "the people regret bill clinton" - lots more regret results in that one.

Heck, I'll even go you another and suggest those cuts brought us the death and imprisonment of thousands of more people of color than we would have otherwise seen.

http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/23665-how-bill-clintons-welfare-reform-created-a-system-rife-with-racial-biases

In our current administration we have 35% unemployment among black males in some areas - yet our policy is to make bank$ter/donors richer while denying them government jobs by keeping our deficit lower. You can read Timothy "Killer" Geither's book Stress Test for the details, and see voters laugh at his face here when he tries to spin it otherwise.

Your mistake is in thinking I care what you choose, or choose not, to understand. It is a frequent error among conservatives to think that others are thinking along the same lines they are. Such mistakes are often proven to be a barrier to understanding.

So when you say "I just cannot understand your drivel" it says a lot more about your outlook than you might know.


Go Bernie.

[Darb]

45. Well aren't you special.

Sorry that someone asking a point of clarification on your obtuse post makes you act like such a small child. I still do not speak whine, so bear with me. Are you assuming that I knew you were talking about Bill Clinton? Well I didn't, so I was wondering which president you were whining about.

Now that I see the Bernie stuff at the end of your last post I think that I understand. You must attack Hillary in any way and from any angle, yet the real source of our problems are on the Republican side. You know them, the side whose bidding you do, inadverten........errrrr........unknowin.....errrrr....well you know.

Thanks for the clarification. And chalk up another who loves Bernie but has just about had it with his "supporters", if that is really what you are. I think that I will vote for someone else in the primary.

[Vogon_Glory]

32. Planned Parenthood Will Survive, BUT

Planned Parenthood will survive. No more than a third of their funding comes from government. The cuts will badly hurt PP and hurt the poor and shirtsleeve families it serves even worse, but it will survive.

Organize, donate, vote. We may lose in the short run, but in the long run, we'll be back.

And take down these despicable people's names. There will be a time for payback. No forgiveness, no reconciliation; they've proven to be selfish, arrogant liars time and time again. Throw them out of office, investigate, indict, prosecute, convict and fine, because these arrogant wretches think they're above the law and will break it, and keep the pressure on until the last of these vipers dies of old age.

I believe Lila Rose is in her twenties; that means freezing these people out of politics until the last ones die of old age. That's sixty more years.

[jtuck004]

33. lol - " freezing these people out of politics until the last ones die of old age" < You do realize

we grow and train a new crop every generation? Most of these people weren't around to oppose it the first time. And lots of data out there says the problem is worsening.

This is gonna be a day-to-day battle for whatever time they have left.

[Vogon_Glory]

35. Which As May Be

I'm well aware that the Radical Right has been hatching new generations of young vipers. However, most of these little <censoreds> think they'll be able to have their buddies in coming years. Lila Rose was one of O'Kreepy's anti-Acorn videos. Most of these guys pal around with the NRA.

I suspect enough hard times will wise up a lot of voters, even some of my fellow but dumb<cluck> Caucasians.

I don't see change for the better coming from Texas, but it's possible help will come from without old Dixie.

[jtuck004]

36. "it's possible help will come from" < Or maybe it won't, and maybe they will figure out they should

have been helping themselves, doing more to market their worth all along.

Wouldn't be the first failed entity that learned this.

[question everything]

6. Well, yes, it has been more than 2 days since the Tramp issued a declaration

so this is as good as issue as any.

Waiting for him to propose arresting any female wearing a burka.

[TexasBushwhacker]

7. Considering his enjoyment of the ladies

What do you want to bet the Donald has had girlfriends in the past that have had abortions.

"You know, it really doesn`t matter what (the media) write as long as you`ve got a young and beautiful piece of ass."

[hamsterjill]

12. My thoughts as well.

But, of course, in HIS situation... it was different!!! (Sarcasm of course)

[jmowreader]

31. The Rich have ALWAYS had access to abortion

[TexasBushwhacker]

46. Of course. defending PP just hurts poor women

And hurting the poor is the keystone of the GOP agenda.

[lonestarnot]

8. Welp, who's shuttin' er down over here due to lack of gun control? Fuck you Donald Dump you

worthless mudflap claptrap.

[mpcamb]

9. Now there's the kind of restraint you expect in presidential timber.

[procon]

10. This is exactly why none of these clowns are competent to be President.

What are the thought processes that goes on inside their peabrains that they think their misogynistic hatred of women equates to crippling the entire government and hurting millions of people in the process while putting the whole country at risk just to chalk up a few polling points in the knuckledragger section?

[CanonRay]

11. Trump's Mouth: Priceless

Oh, I hope they follow his lead. I give you the next President of the United States...a Democrat.

[They_Live]

14. This windbag dictating "morality"?!

I don't think so...

I challenge you to a duel, Trump.

[Vinca]

15. I would like to ask this asshat if his wife became pregnant and at 21 weeks they found

the fetus was essentially brainless and wouldn't survive outside the womb, if he would prefer that she remain a living and breathing coffin for another third of a year or if he might spare her the horror and have the fetus aborted. Then, once aborted, would he like to throw the remains in the medical waste bin or send it to a laboratory to search for a cure for disease. This absolute crap surrounding Planned Parenthood is driving me nuts!

[turbinetree]

16. And now lets think outside the box ......................just saying...................

"I would, and I was also in support if the Republicans stuck together you could have done it with Obamacare also, but the Republicans decided not to stick together and they left a few people out there like Ted Cruz," Trump told Hewitt. "You know, they left a lot of the people who really went in and wanted to do the job and you know what? If they had stuck together they wold have won that battle. I think you have to in this case also, yes."


This bag of wind or for that matter all of these bags of wind are positioning themselves to be either president or vice-president, and that being said we have this wind bag called Trump defending one other huckster by the name of Cruz.

So if Trump (wind bag one in the current polls of the clown car) gets the nomination , I think he will pick Cruz as his running mate.
Just imagine one reading green eggs and ham at Blair house every night , and the other spewing out or spitting out green eggs and ham every time he attacks the right to privacy-------------and this hypocrites feeling on compassion to other human beings having health care------------------none-----------let them die

Honk-------------for a political revolution Bernie 2016

[patricia92243]

17. How crazy does Trump have to get before his followers are no longer with him??

[LynneSin]

19. You've seen the Tea Party followers? They will not abandon him

and since that's about 20% of the population give or take. He ain't going away. He isn't winning the presidency but he might be king of the Teabaggers

[LynneSin]

18. Trump is a notorious womanizer

would be interesting to see what was in his past!

[central scrutinizer]

22. Planned Parenthood is needed not for wealthy women

This is just another part of the plan to shame, humiliate, then abandon anybody who isn't rich. Trump's consorts have always had easy access to abortion - a quick trip to Europe.

[Fred Sanders]

20. Rec for exposure that Trump is either stupid enough or evil enough to embrace the PP scam and smear.

[David__77]

21. Pretty politically smart move for him.

To make anti-abortion statements may garner him support from some quarters that would possibly otherwise be aloof from him. Reagan was not, to my knowledge, personally intensely religious, and gained support from the religious right because of his statements. Candidates like Bush are pretty low key all around, I think.

[Gothmog]

23. Shutting down the govt just before an election is a great idea

[Historic NY]

25. By all means the Republican should take his advice....

he knows a few things about bankruptcy and defaulting on loans....

[RussBLib]

27. why does the GOP hate women and women having rights so much?

Oh, yeah, the Bible.

[bucolic_frolic]

29. 3 weeks ago

I though Trump a circus master trying to bolster his own ego.

Now he's sounding like an opportunist in the strongest sense, one
who will say anything to win

He's outflanking all the other GOP candidates

I'm thinking he regards them as a bunch of do-nothing buffoons

He could blow this whole election out of the water

Don't forget Ronnie Raygun was a joke in March of 1980

[olddots]

38. Berlin 1933

don't laugh .

[truthisfreedom]

40. Once you've raped your wife

It becomes abundantly clear how you feel about women.

[tomm2thumbs]

41. Cruz met to chat about running as VP in NY, yes? Anyone? Anyone?

Trump can't seem to keep a secret, one way or the other

[Dont call me Shirley]

44. Why do republicans hate women so much?!
