Trump declares that Republicans have lost the shutdown. Absolutely zero reason for Dems to cave at this point

Nothing says “Democratic Leader” quite like “I will not tell you who I voted for in a general election.”

I renovated the Lincoln Bathroom in the White House. It was renovated in the 1940s in an art deco green tile style, which was totally inappropriate for the Lincoln Era. I did it in black and white polished Statuary marble. This was very appropriate for the time of Abraham Lincoln and, in fact, could be the marble that was originally there!

The anti-witch crusaders of 1692 would no doubt be horrified to discover that thanks to their paranoia, Salem, Mass., is today a veritable Las Vegas Strip of all things witchy.

Remember that when Trump says he called off troops invading San Francisco that this is the guy who said the Blitzkrieg Ballroom wouldn't touch the East Wing, which no longer exists.

Hi Rep. Crockett, please let your colleagues know that I won’t vote for any Democrat that won’t commit to demolishing that ballroom—a symbol of tyranny if there ever was one—as soon as we’re back in power.
