Donald Trump Makes Paul Ryan Look like a Proper Fool


The Guardian:  Paul Ryan says 'Dreamers' should 'rest easy' over expiring Daca policy


Ryan would have been better off doing his job rather than giving phony speeches since Trump at the same time was making a deal with Democrats (i.e. alternative Republicans).

The remarkable things about Trump's deal were that Fox News didn't have much to say, The Guardian missed by miles, and CNN showed a twisted outrage.  Note: see above about alternative Republicans.

CNN:  Begala: Why Trump caved to Pelosi and Schumer

CNN:  Republican leaders in the room 'shell-shocked' following Trump deal with Democrats

Of course they're shell-shocked after Trump out-flanked them and revealed himself to be a better politician than any of them (e.g. Mitch McConnell) will ever be or has ever been before.


Zen Yogi:  are you getting soft on this fellow now, Silas?

Noooo, not after the White House and Congress have been competing for who is the worst.  For the moment, it looks like Paul Ryan is winning.

On Wednesday, Trump threw his support to a deal that gave the Democratic leaders everything they wanted: disaster relief funding and a 90-day extension of both the day-to-day funding of the government and the debt ceiling.

It's not such a wonderful deal when it increases the national debt ceiling but it assures the funding for the disasters in Texas from Hurricane Harvey and the next in Florida with Hurricane Irma which may well be more destructive than Hurricane Andrew.  However, this pushes away the inevitable government shutdown which would have compounded the disaster of Hurricane Irma immeasurably.


Zen Yogi:  why should you support this, Silas?

I can't send prayers to the people of Florida for long and boring editorial reasons but I do want to give anything I possibly can.  They will need food, clothing, and repair for a shitload of broken windows.  I have no money for that kind of support but Washington does and I want to see it happen.

Ref:  "Die Hard"


Trump was actually dancing with the stars today and it was remarkable all 'round since apparently he works with China regarding the nukes in North Korea and actually performs as a President rather than blustering and bullshitting on Twitter.  I don't see that one now mentioned anywhere since that didn't fit the pattern for Begala's rant on CNN plus it didn't fit the fear-mongering which is the typical stock in trade for MSM in general.

Zen Yogi:  Begala rants because he is just another Republicrat?

Roger that, Yogi.


Fox News did get off one straight shot, however.  (Fox News:  Hillary Clinton ready to pick up big bucks for explaining why she’s a big loser)

The teaser on the Fox front page was better than that one since it said Hillary's Hubris Just Won't Quit.

It's amazing that she could engineer one of the worst failures ever in Presidential politics ever and yet she still finds way to grift money from it.

Zen Yogi:  how does she keep getting away with it?

There's a tremendous level of boob delusion for plastic feminism but there's zero feminism in blaming this on stupid women.  They're not stupid but they won't give up the position and it's reduced Chelsea Handler to babbling bollocks.  There's got to be more to it than simple boob delusion.

Zen Yogi:  money?

Mountains of it, Brer Bear, and she has it to spend.  The CIA loves her like long-lost kinfolk.

Zen Yogi:  do we need the segue to the DSA as the solution?

Nah, since the readers are well aware of it and flogging them with it isn't informational but rather insulting.

Zen Yogi:  you don't mind insulting and have no reservations about it!

True, my furry bear buddy, but that's not for the esteemed readers of this noble forum.
