Pelosi and Schumer lost an opportunity today..

When Don the Dotard started spouting off about taking responsibility for a shutdown due to his "wall".

They should have immediately said "Oh, so you've secured funding from Mexico??"

Dotart, "well, no"..

S/P, "But you said said repeatedly that Mexico would fund it!!!"

Dotart, "buh, buh, well, ah em"..

S/P, "So you want Senior Citizens to give up their Social Security payments in order to fund the wall you said Mexico would pay for???"
You INSIST our soldiers and their families STARVE in order to get your idiotic wall??? "
Go ahead, you fucking anti-American Russian stooge SCUMBAG. TELL THEM THAT.

So go ahead, ASSHOLE. Tell the American people they have to suffer because of your stupidity...

Go ahead, IMBECILE. Tell them.

2. Personally, I think letting it lay there was the right way to go.

Let the little man lay on the floor in the cereal aisle and pitch a fit for Captain Crunch.

Turned to face the cameras everything they talked and make Dump look like he's in the backseat.

My only point was that they could have embarrassed the Orange Anus to a point where even the rubes would have had to think twice...

By mentioning "Mexico" was going to pay for it...

I'm sick and tired of Democrats bringing knives to a gun fight. P/S had a chance here to really bury the axe in his idiotic ego.

reporting Trump told both Pelosi and Schumer, after the media left the Oval Office, his new NAFTA agreement forces Mexico to pay for the wall.

at watching him make a fool of himself.

Seriously, they looked mature and serious while he looked like the whiny little wanker he is.

‘When your enemy is making a mistake, don’t interrupt him’.

Nancy and Chuck were set up. Had no idea it would all be televised. Trump thought he could own them.

That did not work out too well and they were reacting on the fly. Yet they still made him an object of ridicule.

Second guessing them is just sad. I don’t know any 2 politicians who could have pulled that off.

Coulda, shoulda, woulda. But they actually did it. Called him out to his face.

Let the cards fall where they may.

But I think they were attempting to be honestly reasonable if not for him, at least in front of the cameras.

The world got a good glimpse at a temper-tantrum dolt who is completely clueless.
