Face it Cons....gonna get harder now ...you will act cornered and show your worst selves as you always do under the slightest stress ....just like the great “dealmaker” getting played

But for a few more weeks you have the house , senate and WH, so you obviously own the shutdown

Enjoy !

Dems should go for it. Expose themselves for who they really are and it certainly isn't the American people, both black and white, they've been screwing in middle America.

Bwahahaha!

What do you think gonna happen if he does? Get some bad press?

Bwahahaha!

You Dems are absolutely clueless.

I don't think the Democrats quite get it. Trump is going to call their bluffs. He certainly has nothing to lose. The Democrats and the media have made sure of that.

Protests spread. Dems better watch their step.

70 yellow vest protesters detained after rallies spread to Belgium and the Netherlands

“Yellow vest” movement affects border areas in Spain, the UK, and Belgium

Spain threatens to send national police to Catalonia after protests

The European protesters are largely those left behind. In other words those more like Trump voters. What started as a protest over gas taxes has morphed into something that is much deeper. Macron has said he will raise wages, lower taxes on the elderly. If our economy ranks or when Trump supporters realize he hasn't delivered on making their lives better it will be the GOP voters in yellow vests

Con,

That absurd ....here’s why....

You have the House, the Senate , WH, SC etc

All the levers of power.

In a few weeks , the most Democratic if the above rolls to the Dems and they are positioning themselves nicely as the friend of the common people.....

So be careful what you wish for as any protests until after the 2020 election will be seen as dissatisfaction with the MAGA promise

BTW Harvard just blew one of the Dems staples - that women are discriminated against.

https://scholar.harvard.edu/files/bo..._gendergap.pdf

In order to determine why men seem to make more money than women at the same job, the authors looked at Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority data on bus and train operators doing the same jobs under the same union contract. What they found is that the wage gap that exists is the result of men being more likely to work overtime while women are more likely to prioritize time at home. Here's what they wrote:

"We show that a gender earnings gap can exist even in a controlled environment where work tasks are similar, wages are identical, and tenure dictates promotions. The gap of $0.89 in our setting, which is 60% of the earnings gap across the United States, can be explained entirely by the fact that, while having the same choice sets in the workplace, women and men make different choices. Women use the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) to take more unpaid time off than men and they work fewer overtime hours at 1.5 times the wage rate. At the root of these different choices is the fact that women value time and flexibility more than men. Men and women choose to work similar hours of overtime when it is scheduled a quarter in advance, but men work nearly twice as many overtime hours than women when they are scheduled the day before. Using W-4 filings to ascertain marital status and the presence of dependents, we show that women with dependents – especially single women – value time away from work more than men with dependents."

"Regardless of whether or not they have dependents, men are 4 to 6 percentage points more likely than women to accept an overtime opportunity. The difference in acceptance rates between men and women is higher, though, if the operators have dependents, especially so if the unscheduled overtime is offered on a weekend or on a day when the operators are already scheduled to work. The presence of dependents makes the overtime opportunity more valuable for men and time spent outside of work more valuable for women…

Diving deeper still, Figure 9 reveals that the biggest gaps in acceptance rates (up to 8 percentage points) are between single women and single men with dependents. These results suggest that single men are able to take care of their dependents by working more overtime, possibly to pay for child support or to finance other forms of child care. Single women, on the other hand, appear to be making the decision to do the caretaking themselves rather than to caretake through additional earnings. It is, of course, possible that for women this situation is not as much a personal preference as it is a constraint. Thus, our results imply that differences in care-taking approaches and responsibilities appear to be a major reason why women work less overtime than men."

"Crucially, a gap in overtime acceptance rates barely exists for those who are married. As we can see in Figure 10, married male operators with dependents are only 0 to 2 percentage points more likely to accept overtime than married women with dependents. This suggests that those who are married with dependents, men and women, are able to divide up caretaking responsibilities at home in a way that allows them to work overtime at similar levels. Or, perhaps, the presence of dependents necessitates that women, as much as men, earn as much as possible to afford care."

What don’t you get ? What bluff do you perceive he is going to call? I didn’t feel like Nancy was bluffing at all when she placed Trump’s shriveled political stones into her side pocket

😂😂😂😂😂

“He certainly has nothing to lose “

???????

Doesn’t he ? Once a certain number of Republicans start feeling their survival looks better without him ....run for cover ....

Walls and political administrations can come down FAST ....never know ...trump could be here today in jail tomorrow ...who knows where the mad president’s insanity takes us

Another of your delusions, because like Hatch most who voted for Trump feel the same as do many who didn't vote for him like me.

Senator Hatch: "I Don't Care."

"All I can say is this President Trump before he became president that's another world. Since he's become president this economy has charged ahead. We are all better off, the country is better off."
