AND NOW FOR SOME GOOD NEWS
Nancy Pelosi Comes Out Swinging: Mocking Trump in Every Direction

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi is not taking President Trump’s mishandling of the U.S. government lying down. The 78-year-old pint-sized powerhouse mocked Trump’s version of his ill-slated wall along the U.S. southern border as a “beaded curtain.”
“First of all, the fact … that he says, ‘We’re going to build a wall with cement, and Mexico’s going to pay for it,’ while he’s already backed off of the cement – now he’s down to, I think, a beaded curtain or something, I’m not sure where he is,” Pelosi told USA Today.
The comment came following Trump’s tweet that “the Democrats, are saying loud and clear that they do not want to build a Concrete Wall – but we are not building a Concrete Wall, we are building artistically designed steel slats, so that you can easily see through it.”
Trump referred to the structure as a “beautiful” border wall.
The Democrats, are saying loud and clear that they do not want to build a Concrete Wall – but we are not building a Concrete Wall, we are building artistically designed steel slats, so that you can easily see through it….

Pelosi is having none of it. She’s taking aim in every direction at the dictatorship in waiting.
.@realDonaldTrump’s immoral, ineffective and expensive wall doesn’t make us safe, or honor our oath to protect & defend our neighbors & communities. And no matter much how he thinks a #TrumpShutdown will help him politically, it poses a real threat to American families.

.@realDonaldTrump has the Senate, the White House, and the House (for the moment) under Republican control. He has the power to keep government open – but instead, he says he’s going to shut down the government. #TrumpShutdown pic.twitter.com/Pdbo4rH0sG

Instead of bringing certainty into people’s lives, @realDonaldTrump is continuing the #TrumpShutdown just to please right-wing radio & TV hosts.

.@realDonaldTrump has said more than 25 times that he wanted a #TrumpShutdown and now he has gotten what he wanted.

The tragic death of an innocent child on Christmas Day breaks the hearts of all. Democrats call on Homeland Security’s Inspector General to immediately open an investigation into Felipe Alzono-Gomez’s death. https://t.co/on2E63hPhX pic.twitter.com/pvNCtMJt9g

As long as @realDonaldTrump is guided by the House @FreedomCaucus, it’s hard to see how he can come up with a solution that can pass both the House and Senate and end his #TrumpShutdown.
