Did it include a video? Because they can write whatever they want but you have to be intentionally ignorant to watch that footage and think Trump had any upper hand in the argument. As best I can tell, they're using the snippets of Trump extolling the value of border security while cutting out Pelosi and Schumer's responses or just using stills of Trump yelling. That is basically how my local news covered it. They're owned by Sinclair, so there you go. They cut out quite a bit.

Chuck absolutely baited him into the soundbite about the wall/shutdown. "I'll claim responsibility for the shutdown" Chuck was damn near giggling with glee at the press conf afterwards. I had conservatives afterward telling me they could still paint this as a Democratic shutdown. HOW? Republicans still have control of everything, they only have to get a few Democrats to come over (and they can't), AND THE PRESIDENT DECLARED RESPONSIBILITY. They're delusional. I fully believe they could say "Dems took back the house and just look at what happened... they shut down the government." Fox news would not point out that the dems aren't seated yet so people would believe that narrative.

Of course Fox News and trump die hards are going to blame the Dems. I don’t think I care what those people think? I care what Dems and independents think. And I care that our dem leaders can outsmart the president. And i care that we aren’t backing down.
And I don’t think government workers are going to blame the Dems. Everyone knows this is on the president, at least at my husbands office.

Julian Castro is announcing that he’s exploring a presidential run. Seems a little dramatic, but ok. 😉

This made me weepy this morning. Amazing <3 I love that. I just listened to the podcast Believed which is about the whole Larry Nassar debacle. Parts are a hard listen but it is interesting and important.

Cohen is being sentenced and just finished dragging 45.
From CNN:
Michael Cohen just addressed a tweet from his former boss, President Donald Trump.
"Recently the President tweeted a statement calling me weak and it was correct but for a much different reason than he was implying. It was because time and time again I felt it was my duty to cover up his dirty deeds."
Cohen also called this "one of the most meaningful days of his life."
"This may seem hard to believe," Cohen told the court, "but today is one of the most meaningful days of my life. I have been living in a personal and mental incarceration ever since the day that I accepted the offer to work for a real estate mogul whose business acumen that I deeply admired."
That real estate mogul, of course, is Trump.

I feel like he was so dumb for being on camera with Pelosi and Schumer. I love it, of course, but obvs they have been at this a *long time* and they aren't going to walk into that situation without being completely ready.
Also being the chief of staff sounds like the world's worst job. I think they should just use a DC temp firm, they can ask for "extremely thick skin" and explain that their new boss is going to be a complete dick but they can throw money at the problem. Someone can do it for a few months and then move along.

Hopefully lots of people are feeling this. And then I read the replies and every time someone criticized him at all for doubting Pelosi in the first place he flew off the handle with a “you’re what’s wrong with the left. Fuck off”. So apparently that eating crow was a tough pill to swallow for this bro and he can’t fully wash it down. 🤣

I just really think Avenatti is a publicity whore and it would be really dangerous to get between him and a camera

Looks like budget talks are going well. Yikes. Body language experts could have a field day with that photo. Nancy Pelosi having to sit there and patiently explain very basic concepts to a less qualified, yet higher up, colleague is such a microcosm of her entire life

Newt seen at WH, won't answer if he's there about CoS job. Also, of course 2018 is nothing like 1994.

Hannity deleted all of his Cohen tweets yesterday: Omg. Somehow I had forgotten this. Amazing.
