The Irish Beefed on Brexit

We have our finger on the pulse of British politics of course, with deep reach inside Parliament and contacts both within and without Mrs. May's government.

That is why we can tell you that Prime Minister May is poised to win the no confidence vote triggered by her humiliating and historic defeat in the Commons.

[Or you just read the Telegraph this morning-Ed]

May survives, but at this point, with Brexit looming in March, there is no deal. That is, Britain Leaves the EU without any new parameters for her dealings with the EU. It's like ripping a Band Aid or chopping off an appendage, Anthony Hopkins style or Herschel in The Walking Dead, if one prefers.

Good.

Like our own so-called government shutdown here in America, nothing will happen.

Remainers have launched Project Fear version, I dunno, infinity.

We just read an article fearing the price of food will rise becuase the Limeys won't be able to import Irish beef.

Vraiment? That's the best they can do?

We are reminded of a friend of ours complaining that the last government shutdown here in America cost the GOP the governor's race in Virginia. The complainer  was a member of the GOP-e, of course.

Gee, you don't suppose there's someone else out there who would love to make a deal to export beef to Britain do you? 'I got a great deal for you, Terry. It's going to be a fabulous deal, the best, the best deal, just great. These steaks, they'll go great with ketchup.'

Remulac's Finest

It's obvious Chuck and Nancy are space aliens, otherwise we would actually feel sorry for them.*

They're joint response to Trump's address was probably the most humiliating moment in American politics since Dukakis climbed aboard an M-1 tank.

So memable.

Nobody other than Federal employees care about the so-called shutdown. In fact, nobody even notices. Quoth Mrs. Stroock, 'The government is still shutdown?'

Trump's base loves everything about the shutdown. When we hear TSA employees are staging a sick out and having to find part time work our response is, Oh yeah, baby...just like that...

In one fell swoop Trump made the argument about boarder security, drugs, terrorists, criminals- all for 5.7 billion, a Federal pittance.

Amy Schumer's uncle and San Fran Nan are fighting a battle they've already lost, though they probably don't know it.

So when Nancy said no yesterday, Trump just got up and left.

Just walk away.

This is Art of the Deal 101, people.

We learned this lesson years ago car shopping with Mrs. Stroock. After a test drive we just weren't that interested in a Rav-4 and every time we were about to get up to leave the salesmen offered better terms.**

The Remulacians are dealing with a master negotiator. Trump just renegotiated NAFTA. He just re-negotiated terms with Europe. He's forced China to the table, and all that remains is to negotiate the terms of Beijing's surrender.

Does anyone really think Trump is bothered by Chuck and Nancy?

Chuck and Nancy have to make a deal, but they can't. They face a rising young caucus led by Juden hassers like AOC, Rashida Tlaib, and the incestuous Ilhan Omar who will broke no compromise whatsoever.

For the young millennial hipster demo, compromise of any kind means moral surrender. After all, look what happened at Munich, though we have no doubt whatsoever that Ms. Venezuela wouldn't get the reference.

The Fierce Urgency of the Speech

Ahhhh... The Speech.

What a bastard. 

Good.

We've spent the last 25 years being called fascist, racist, homophobe....

We've spent the last 25 years being accused of wanting to starve children and push granny off a cliff....

We've been called warmonger, chickenhawk….

It's nice to see our side engage in emotional blackmail.

We heard Chuck and Nancy were weird. We didn't watch. As soon as Trump was finished we switched over to Married at First Sight.

Shut. It. Down.

Oh fuck yeah you better believe we support the government shutdown.

Just kidding, the government never really shuts down. You don't really thing the career lay-abouts in say, the Weed Agency aren't getting their padded paychecks, do you? Why there are union rules about that sort of thing.

Traditionally Republicans lose shutdown fights.

Maybe not now.

We've seen Trump change the rules this year, first with the Kavanaugh nomination when he refused to play along after the party of Ted (Captain Bart Mancusso) Kennedy gurgled up the liar Christine Blassey-Ford, then with the 2018 Midterms. 

We'll see if he's changed the rules here.

We think Trump has noting to lose.

The only people who care about the government 'shutdown' are the party of Jeff Davis and George Wallace, who are freaking out. Of course they freak out if Trump calls an African shithole country an African shithole country*, or pulls troops out of Syria or hurts someone's feelings. We should add to the ranks of Confederate flag waving Grays the GOP Rinos, Never Trump lunatics, and nervous nellies worried that their tights make their butt look too big at the gym.

Of course the base is delighted. 

Independents? Well, they're all thinking, The government shutdown, I hadn't noticed.

Get every last dime Mr. President. Keep it closed. Fight. Win. And hear the lamentations of the poxied, collagen besotted San Fran Nan, and Amy Schumer's uncle.

*Puts finger randomly on map of Africa and hits...Benin? What the fuck is that? Why the fuck are the even bothering?

Shutdown This

Tom Brokow, the least worst of the old network news anchors makes a great point. Via Breitbart:

On the other hand, Democrats going into this year, if you’re looking at what they’re talking about right now, they think all they have to do is show up, and they are going to get the congressional majority back again. They better have a plan. And the plan is not to go hard left, by the way, the way they’re going to be led by Elizabeth Warren or Bernie Sanders. They’ve got to have a scheme that addresses the old Democratic middle, people who are the working class Democrats. And unless they get to the that they can get beat.

True.

We've already written that we think a government shutdown (midnight, tonight people) won't hurt the Dems, but now we're not so sure. Basically, we're envisioning Red State Dems voting over and over again against continuing resolutions to fund the government.

Remember, this shutdown is about 800,000 DIMs (Descendants of Illegal Migrants). You really want to make that case to the people of Missouri, Senator McCaskill?

Brokow also points out that the Dems are running left, becoming the party of a fake Indian and a 77 year old socialist. As Nixon used to ask, how's that gonna play in Peoria?

Don't even get us started on Nancy Pelosi.

Thoughts on the Prospect of a Government Shutdown

The Dems gotta do it.

Last year when they agreed to a continuing resolution to fund the government those obnoxious DIMs (Descendants of Illegal Migrants) went berserk. So Chuck Schumer, Amy Schumer's uncle and the worst Jew in America, is in the rather unenviable position of having to placate 800,000 brats.

Oh go ahead Chuck, shut down the government. There will be no long term ramifications for doing so.

Let us explain.

The GOP got blamed for government shutdowns in 1995 and 2014. Pundits assured us all that this was bad news for Republicans and voters would punish them. They didn't. The GOP held onto the House and Senate in the election of '96 and did the same in 2014.

This year no one will go into the voting booth thinking, 'You know, the Dems shutdown the government. I'm voting Republican.' Nobody.
