Grumpy and Grouchy Donald J. Trump: Another Tweet Whopper — Hold the Onion

Note the Time Stamp: His Blame Game Starts Early Each Day

For the record - from those Senate votes that all failed, re: DACA and the Wall:

The first of 4 Senate immigration bills up for passage was a plan by Sen. Chris Coons (D-DE) and Sen. John McCain (R-AZ). The Coons-McCain bill would have:

·        Provided a path to citizenship for 1.8 million undocumented immigrants who came to the country as children.

·        Offered no money for Trump’s border wall, though it did include some border security measures.

It failed 52 to 47. Democrats were almost united in favor and Republicans mostly voting against it.

=====================================================

The second vote on an amendment from Sen. Pat Toomey (R-PA), did not actually address DACA or border security.

·        It would penalize “sanctuary cities” that refuse to enforce federal immigration policy by withholding federal funding from those municipalities.

·        The issue has been a fixation for Trump and some of the conservative hardliners in Congress.

It failed 54 to 45. Republicans and a few Democrats supported it, while Democrats were largely opposed.

=====================================================

The third vote was the “so-called Common Sense Caucus,” a large bipartisan group led by Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME), released its own outline. The plan had gained the endorsement of Democratic leadership and was technically sponsored by Minority Leader Chuck Schumer. The “Common Sense” plan would have:

·        Provided a path to citizenship for 1.8 million undocumented immigrants who came to the country as children.

·        Offered $25 billion for border security.

·        Prevented DACA recipients from sponsoring their parents for legal status.

It failed 54 to 45. Democrats almost unanimously backed the plan, along with eight Republicans. But the rest of the GOP conference and a handful of Democrats blocked the bill.

===================================================

The fourth and final vote was on what the White House demanded which was contained in the so-called “Grassley bill” – it would have:

·        Provided a path to citizenship for 1.8 million undocumented immigrants who came to the country as children.

·        Offered $25 billion to fund a southern border wall.

·        Substantially curtailed family immigration and eliminated the diversity visa lottery program in such a way that would gut the legal immigration system.

It failed, 39 to 60. Democrats opposed the bill en masse, joined by a notable number of Republicans, while most of the GOP conference supported it. 

Note what that votes means: Trump’s preferred immigration plan appears to be unviable in the Senate.

My 2 cents and more: Now Trump has the unmitigated to blame the DEMS in his latest tweet (screenshot of his tweet is above).

All I could think of was for Mr. Trump was “what a load of horseshït” – that mirrors that line in the Eddie Murphy movie by lobbyist Olaf Andersen who says: “Now the question is, can we you get the shit back into the horse?”

So, Mr. President, when will you do that and stop your daily blatant lying to the public now daily and almost in every breath you take?

Blaming the DEMS for DACA failure – that rates enough “pants on fire” to fill Trump Tower top to bottom – pathetic, utterly pathetic. Here Mr. Trump, you earned this rating - congrats:

Thanks for stopping by.
