Mod: The lunatic right is now ditching their special fat boy? Sure, and why not? They're just about as loyal as a Donald Trump porn star date.
Ann Coulter Calls Donald Trump 'Biggest Wimp Ever To Serve As President' As Conservative Media Blasts ‘Cave’ Over Wall (
Newsweeklink): Conservative media hammered
President Donald Trump for his surprising announcement on Friday afternoon that he has agreed to reopen the federal government for three weeks while continuing to negotiate with
Democrats to secure the southern border. The agreement came without funding for his border wall. Conservative political commentator and author
Ann Coulter roasted
Trump on
Twitter without explicitly naming him.
“Good news for
George Herbert Walker Bush: As of today, he is no longer the biggest wimp ever to serve as
President of the United States,”
Coulter tweeted.
The homepage of conservative website
The Daily Caller featured the headline "
TRUMP CAVES: President Will Temporarily Reopen Government With Zero Funding For The Wall,” calling the move “a serious reversal.”
Breitbart News’s headline was simple: “
GOVERNMENT OPEN” and “
NO WALL.”
Drudge Report led with an all-caps “
SHUTDOWN AGREEMENT REACHED, GOVT TO REOPEN TEMPORARILY,” below which was written in eye-grabbing red, “
NO WALL FUNDS.”
The president’s ratings across polls—including the
Rasmussen Report, which typically rates him more favorably than other surveys—had reached an all-time low during the longest government shutdown in the country’s history. Many polls also showed that more
American voters blamed
Trump for the shutdown than they did congressional
Democrats.
Mod: And then there is the Roger Stone arrest. Do you still think Congress won't impeach Trump? Then you'd better read this.Pelosi questions Trump's ties to Putin in wake of Stone arrest (
Axios.comlink):
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi issued a statement Friday in response to the arrest of longtime
Trump adviser
Roger Stone, in which she claimed that
Stone's indictment "makes clear that there was a deliberate, coordinated attempt by
Trump campaign officials to influence the 2016 election and subvert the will of the
American people ... It is staggering that the
President has chosen to surround himself with people who violated the integrity of our democracy and lied to the
FBI and
Congress about it."
The big picture:
Pelosi points out that the 37 indictments issued by
Robert Mueller, as well
Trump's repeated attempts to undermine the special counsel's investigation, raise questions about his relationship with
Russian President Vladimir Putin. The
New York Times reported earlier this month that
Trump has privately considered withdrawing from
NATO, which
Pelosi says would be a "massive victory for
Putin."
"The indictment of
Roger Stone makes clear that there was a deliberate, coordinated attempt by top
Trump campaign officials to influence the 2016 election and subvert the will of the
American people. It is staggering that the
President has chosen to surround himself with people who violated the integrity of our democracy and lied to the
FBI and
Congress about it.
In the face of 37 indictments, the
President's continued actions to undermine the
Special Counsel investigation raises the questions: what does
Putin have on the
President, politically, personally or financially? Why has the
Trump Administration continued to discuss pulling the
U.S. out of
NATO, which would be a massive victory for
Putin?
Lying to
Congress and witness tampering constitute grave crimes. All who commit these illegal acts should be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law. We cannot allow any effort to intimidate witnesses or prevent them from appearing before
Congress.
The
Special Counsel investigation is working, and the
House will continue to exercise our constitutional oversight responsibility and ensure that the
Special Counsel investigation can continue free from interference from the
White House."
