Cont: The Trump Presidency 11: Insert something funny

Status
Not open for further replies.
NAFTA 2.0 is facing a deadline unless Trump wants to face a showdown with Pelosi:

Sen. Pat Toomey (R-Pa.), a leading member of the Senate Finance Committee, and a group of GOP allies are pushing President Trump to move a newly negotiated trade deal with Canada and Mexico through Congress before Democrats take over the House next year.

Toomey said the Trump administration needed to submit the final text of the deal to Congress by Friday if lawmakers are to have any chance of implementing it before Democrats assume the House majority.

Congress must wait 30 days after the administration submits the text before it can vote for the agreement under expedited rules set forth by Trade Promotion Authority (TPA).

Even if Trump sends the agreement to Congress by Friday, the soonest lawmakers could vote on implementing legislation would be Dec. 30.

If Trump fails to meet the deadline, the next Democratic Speaker — likely Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), a longtime skeptic of free trade — will decide whether the new trade deal with Canada and Mexico, known as the United States–Mexico–Canada Agreement (USMCA), will get a vote in the new Congress.

“Nancy Pelosi does not have a long track record of ratifying Republican free-trade agreements. We have seen this movie before. The Colombia agreement is a great example. She had it, TPA was in force, and she promptly passed a rule killing TPA. They never took it up. Never. She was the Speaker for years and it got ratified when she was no longer the Speaker,” Toomey said Wednesday morning.

Linky.

Even without Pelosi blocking it, it still might not have enough votes.

As RNC Chair Ronna McDaniel oversaw history defying gains in the Senate and unprecedented fundraising strength. I have asked her to serve another term for my 2020 re-elect, because there is no one better for the job!

I watched him talking to reporters before boarding for the G20 (which is where that first quote came from) and he was all over the place*. He did say he was going to be having a full briefing on the situation on board the plane so it looks like something changed his mind.

I can't imagine Obama not getting a full briefing and updates within hours of them happening. Obama would also know where the frickin' Sea of Azov is and why it might matter.

@SteveScalise has written an absolutely fascinating book (BACK IN THE GAME) on the world of D.C. politics, and more. He has experienced so much, in a short period of time. Few people have had his bravery or courage, and he has come all the way back. A big power and great person!

@StephenMoore and Arthur Laffer, two very talented men, have just completed an incredible book on my Economic Policies or, as they call it, TRUMPONOMICS....

....They have really done a great job in capturing my long-held views and ideas. This book is on sale now - a terrific read of a really interesting subject!

@DBongino’s new book, "Spygate: The Attempted Sabotage of Donald J. Trump," is terrific. He's tough, he's smart, and he really gets it. His book is on sale now, I highly recommend!

With all of the new books coming out you can't forget two of the great originals written by @GreggJarrett and @JudgeJeanine Pirro. Their books both went to #1. Go get them now, the phony Witch Hunt is well explained!

I guess Proof of Collusion (Seth Abramson's recent book) hits a little too close to the mark.

It's just a gut feeling. Seems like the real bombshell is Cohen and Trump Tower and Vlad decided it would be better for his boy not to be seen with him at this moment.

That was aimed at our resident Trump Worshiper, not you.

Though I agree that lots of pain is coming for Benedict Donald, and coming fast...

A new House Republican steps up to cover for Trump:

A top U.S. House ally of President Donald Trump drafted a "confidential" plan for how Republicans can battle an expected onslaught of Democratic-led congressional subpoenas and investigations against the president and his administration.

"Investigations -- My Plan to Counter" is one of the featured topics contained in a 28-page document prepared by Representative Mark Meadows of North Carolina, each page bearing a "confidential" watermark.

Meadows is likely to become the ranking Republican on the Oversight and Government Reform Committee, a key congressional investigative panel. The committee will be run by Democrats starting in January after the party won a House majority in Nov. 6 elections, giving it a leading role in investigating the Trump administration and the president’s private business dealings.

These GOPpers aren't real good at that "confidential" thing, are they?

I wonder if he has set rates for his promotional advertising.

Prediction:
This week: Manafort and Cohen (and others) are pardoned, since they just admitted to lying and are pleading Guilty, at little risk because they know it. Once that's done Mueller will be fired, and The PDJT will defect to Argentina at the G20 Summit this weekend.

He might have a deal to reward Manafort with a pardon, but I sincerely doubt petty Trump is going to pardon Cohen.

Quite apart from that is Trump, in the midst of all this and in the mood he must be in, at the G20 meeting. Abroad. Without even quality time with Putin because of some nonsense caused by Obama's weakness.

That's a lot of meddlesome priests he's pointing out there. Hopefully none if his alt-white minions will act on it.

For Rosenstein to go to jail for treason, first he has to be arrested and charged, then have that prosecuted successfully at trial, then he needs to be sentenced. Trump seems to forget there are those steps in between. He obviously thinks that being King Of The World means he can just order incarceration by fiat.

He's a cornered rat; he'll at least try to reach out for allies. Who exactly he meets with will be interesting.

* If he meets with no one then the fit is hitting the shan; either Russia's cutting him off or the investigation is that close on his heels.
* If Russia still wants to use him for their own PR, he'll meet with some humiliatingly low-ranking underling. Like, Putin's secretary's assistant's intern.
* If Russia still wants something substantial from him, he'll meet with a reasonable substitute for Putin, an oligarch or someone, so he can stay true to his word to not meet Putin and still check in with his handlers.
* If Putin meets with him, it's time to hide the launch codes.
