Freeperville 1000 comment thread about opening government: no names or links: Safe!

This is some of the initial, and a few of the last comments, scrubbed, neutered and preserved in formaldehyde, in case anyone wants to know the neanderthal reaction to the cave in of our famous liar in chief. Some of the meaningless superbowl entries were ignored.:

They’re having a hard time finalizing what the President will say. I’m cautiously hoping for the best, but steeling myself for a let-down. Go big, Mr President.

And three weeks negotiation and no wall funding is a fail in my opinion, which will be hard to again shut down government

Drudge claims NO WALL MONEY.

Superbowl? Wouldn’t it be funny if he announced an agreement with owners that everyone will stand for the anthem and flag?

Let’s get ‘er done. Fire Mueller while you’re at it.

I’m hearing no money for the wall, no declaration of an emergency.

BIG mistake to accept a CR. That’s what’s been going on for 2 years waiting for a wall. This would just be yet another delay going nowhere.
Shutdown should’ve actually started last October when you think about it. At least would have R congress.

Thanks to inactivity, R lost House. Senate next if this isn’t fixed.

So I hear he’s already going to cave to Nancy Pelosi? Think about that for a minute.HE’S ALREADY GOING TO CAVE TO NANCY PELOSI AND LET HER HAVE HER WAY. I’m sickened by this if true.

No Wall Funds?! That is a fail. He might as well resign tomorrow or announce he won’t seek reelection if he folds and gets no wall funds for his efforts, for our support. Shocking if he folds after Never Again last year, after a month saying it is showstopper without funds for the wall.

Just another underhanded method to pay back pay and get those off of Congressmen’s backs. Nothing will be accomplished and the Dems will never cave to make President Trump look like the victor. Standard operating procedure of the uniparty through 2020 election.

If he gets a 3 week no money deal I don’t think that’s the disaster that some do.I think at the end of the 3 weeks, it will be apparent to all who was willing to negotiate and who was not. Still DJT should have made this just maybe a tiny bit of a priority when he had the house and senate.

Trump’s “Read My Lips” moment.

Thanks to inactivity, R lost House. Senate next if this isn’t fixed. We really don't have the Senate now.

If that’s the case, then our betters have decided that they don’t want to risk missing the Superbowl and have called a time out.

His plan for 2020 is to let themselves make them too extreame for the moderate middle. You want to know how this all plays out first. AND you want Nancy sitting right behind him.

Do the emergency, start building, open up gov for three weeks, get funding. Simple. If lawsuits start, so be it.

Wait so you’re *not* going into bankruptcy as we type this? I thought all furloughed government employees were about to lose their houses and stuff like that.

I’m hearing no money for the wall, no declaration of an emergency. = No support from the base

He lost serious face in the SOTU Standoff this week with the Letter War between him and Nancy. Now? Now if he loses again by reopening the government (even temporarily) while Piglosi doen’t lose a thing? He will be in serious trouble.

Not going to happen.

Aviation and security. Per a caller to Limbaugh who claimed to be a TSA employee.

President Trump should give Anne Coulter a quick call and discuss his announcement before giving it. She would be a good, very vocal voice of reason to consider. She’s got a bigger platform than most of us, she won’t give him a pass if he folds. Same with Hannity and Rush. They’d be good for advice now at 11th hour before he walks into the Rose Garden.

Avg fed ee $130,000 - a couple this morning on NPR - two fed employees, thats $260,000 a year (what family makes that) - they said they were going to the soup kitchen and they had no money for gas in the car.

Wait, we don’t have a Senate?? Don’t tell Chuck U Schumer that! He’s running that show.

that is right! and how many people lost their home! I know I almost lost mine!

I actually think he won against Nancy. What she did was radical and with no damn good reason. It’s a stain. She abused her power.

Indeed. He will lose a lot of us without the wall. And spare me the “He’s playing 4D super space chess!!”, everyone.

Uh. Only with defeatist numnums. What is your alternative? Pelosi? If there is a short reopening with no wall for a short time, not a losing situation. Workers being paid will be off the table while negotiations continue.

So, if Trump folds, you will say Okay and support that choice?! Seriously? And do you think we should all suck-it-up, get the Vaseline out, and accept it? And, give Trump the okay to fold on other issues?

I agree! Nancy smells!

It’s been apparent to you and me. Never for a moment forget just how unimaginably stupid, ill-informed, and utterly worthless the average American voter is.

I ain’t goin’ anywhere. Trump is the only one who fights.

Sure he fights. But he got knocked down this week already when Pelosi won the SOTU argument. Now? He’s fixing to get knocked down again as he reopens the government WITH NO WALL MONEY PROVISIONS.

Rooters via Twitter calling it a 3 week stop-gap measure.

Yeah, right. I've done pretty well in life, better than most. How about you?

Yes, Trump has failed, let me know when we get the wall, let me know when he starts to deport illegals.

Pathetic,garbage language post.

I believe it is time to make the Left “not permanent” - as in “not long for this world” - if you get my drift.

In my best John Wayne impersonation ... Well then, missy - put on your big-girl pants, stiffen your lip, square up your hat, grab your rifle, and ride to the sound of the guns.

Let me know when you can do something besides whine like a lil girl.

Look folks, where are the cayotes going to go, to a wall, or to an opening? We’ve put pressure to bear on sectors before and they just move to where there’s no pressure. There has to be a full wall.

Yes, and it does seem like a curse.

I’m not giving up on Trump. I just have a heavy heart today, that’s all.

the president has other powers as we have been discussing all day where were you?

Hey snowflake, who’s whining now?

For all who have “concerns,” and don’t get the what, why, and when ... Here are two individuals who are very good at explaining the political realities ... Watch - and, if possible, learn from those who are in the arena.
This is a conversation between Richard Barris (Peoples Pundit Daily) - the only pollster who got the 2016 election right, and Adam Gingrich - a longtime Pennsylvania political operative and member of the 2016 Trump campaign:

Kiss my grits, gramps.

Yep......Snowflake.

Andrew Cuomo should be politically aborted, and flushed down a prison toilet.

"Andrew Cuomo should be politically aborted, and flushed down a prison toilet."
His big, fat head wouldn't fit down the toilet, but then we could crush it like a watermelon. Get the comedian Gallagher to do it for us with his big hammer.

It's always amazed me that liberals are all for killing babies, no matter how far along they are in the womb, but are dead-set against the death penalty for convicted murderers. His father Mario Cuomo was a big a-hole too. Dumped all the psychiatric centers, and closed them, and threw all the residents into the communities. It wasn't long after, that the prison system started getting those same mentally ill individuals as inmates, and it only got worse as the years passed. The prison I retired from had previously been a psychiatric center, so a lot of renovations, and additions had to be made to turn it into a Medium A facility. In NY State, a Medium A is one step below a max. But it was fun. I always said, what other place could you go to, and get paid to be entertained everyday?

I have a friend in Ellington CT, whose husband is a prison guard. The two of them could not be more opposite in their temperaments. It amuses me, because the same dynamic exists between my wife and I. I’m the impatient hard-ass, and she is the soft-spoken saint who patiently bears all.

People have often asked why I do not apply for a position as a prison guard, being 6’-3” and 210 pounds. I reply that I’ve not the temperament to process that degree of insanity, day after day... Some people have the ability to shrug off such ugliness - but I’m not among their number. As a guard, there are things one sees that cannot be unseen, and I do not want those images tattooed into my memory.

You said it.

I'm thinking maybe the FBI should look into this one?

Love the whine that:

Nancy Pelosi abused her power.

No, she simply exerted her power and set the infamous coyotes on the Trumpster's ass.

Beaten by 100-pound grandma. Oh, how sweet it is!

They honestly believe the average federal worker makes $130k a year. Just willful ignorance that knows no limits.

Get it through your heads idiots, nobody wants your stupid fucking wall but you. You wussies are always scared of something and we're always paying the price for it. Whether it's phantom Iraqi WMD's or evil brown rapists pouring across the border, there's always some crisis with you losers that you think demands some ridiculous action. Well, guess what? We're tired of being led around by your stupid fear. You're not getting your wall. Deal with it.
