State of the Union guests - I would have liked to see Heather Heyer's mother, Susan Bro, invited

to the speech tonight to face down Trump.
I think America needs reminding that this President defends Nazi's.

"You Lie!" shouldn't be shouted at Trump during the SOTU. Too Obvious. I'm for "Whiny Snowflake!"

or maybe "239 pounds, if it's just your ass!"
"Resign!"
"Stormy Daniels!"
"Putin tell you to say that?"

What other suggestions do you have for our lawmakers to shout at Trump?
We are owed one "shout at POTUS during SOTU" from the last one.
We also have one SCOTUS seat to steal back.
I'm keeping score now, for everything.

The Unchallenged President and that CNBC interview.

Joe Kernen of CNBC is a lightweight and his interview of Trump might as well have been on Fox news.
Trump complains and complains about TPP and NAFTA.
Not ONCE does Kernen ask Trump for ONE THING he thinks is wrong or needs to be fixed in either deal.
He asks a question and lets Trump talk about whatever the fuck he wants for a minute and then just moves on.
Joe Kernen, you are today's Top Idiot on the Idiot Index.
Guy looked like a moron next to Trump and that's not easy.

Trump at Davos dinner speaking: He's an idiot

Sounds the same as a campaign rally.
He literally doesn't know what to say anywhere.
he can only talk about himself.

In 3 weeks I am in favor of Democrats trading Trump his whole border wall to save the DACA people

if necessary.
Let him have the money.
If we save these kids it's worth it and it comes with a bonus.
Trump loses twice if he takes the deal.

First, his base will hate that he gave ANYONE amnesty.
The will hate the GOP Senators and House members that vote for it too.
They all might get primaries because of it, because of their hate.
I mean capital "H" Hate.
The GOP base has such hate for people of color it clouds everything else they do.
They don't care that like 80% of people think they should get to stay.
This people will go ape-shit.

Second, then every Democratic Party campaign gets to talk about how Trump is WASTING Americans money for the wall he promised them over and over again that Mexico will pay for, that we don't even need.

It's a hammer and chisel combo that will chip away at his base and other followers from now til 2020.
When we win with the Blue Wave coming in 2018 we will stop the wall in the House or Senate anyway.

When negotiating for hostages, they never get them all released at the same time.

It's always a multi-stage process and a series of trades.
Today we freed the CHiP kids from their evil captors.
Now for the next 3 weeks we will work of the DACA kids.
There aren't any other hostages the GOP can use against us now.
No more Sophie's Choices left to force on us.
What else do they have to offer to win the votes they need?
It may not feel like it for everybody right now, even those of us who are pleased with a partial victory today, but this is a great first step.
The CHiP kids are out of the line of fire. That is a great thing.
it's up to us to put ourselves on the line for the DACA kids now.

Chuck Schumer called to White House. What will Trump say to him?

Will he beg Schumer for a win?
Will he whine?
Whimper?
Beg for his golf weekend back?
What do you think will go down?

Hold fast Democrats. No DACA, no deal. Trump gave the country his word and went back on it.

The GOP must pay us for the votes they need.
This is our price.
ChiP and DACA.

Democrats need to start calling this whole thing RUSSIA-GATE when on TV.

Americans have been trained to ignore a scandal until you Gate it.
TV calls it Trump/Russia, Trump and the Russians and many other names
We need to BRAND scandal this in an easy way for mass TV consumption.
Thoughts?

"The price of a deal just went up." is what Democrats should say every time Trump breaks his word...

or says/tweets shit like this.
Trump takes hard line on immigration, rejects 'horrible' bipartisan plan
https://www.cnbc.com/2018/01/17/trump-rejects-horrible-bipartisan-immigration-plan-reuters.html

The GOP NEED our votes.
We should bleed them dry, the way they did us.
Remember the cutbacks and reductions they forced on us during a giant reccession they created with their polices every time we need't to keep government open?
it's their time in the barrel now.
You didn't want to give us DACA?
Too fucking bad.
Now we want CHiP, DACA and a fucking player to be named later too you bastard.
Say it with me Democratic Party lawmakers in Washington D.C. - "The price just went up."

About ZonkerHarris

Nixon was a fucking crook. As a teenager I marched on the UN in 1982 with a million other people demanding we get rid of the threat of nuclear weapons hanging over our heads. Since then I've worked to get Democrats elected like John Aristotle Phillips, known as the A-Bomb Kid when he ran for Congress against Stuart McKinney in CT in the 80's (we lost twice) through the Obama campaign in 2008 and 2012. I want to legalize cannabis, reform our prison for profit system, cut our military budget, get out of Afghanistan and push solar energy panels into every building in the USA.
