40% favor a wall, 58% oppose. Among those groups, voters opposing a wall are 16 points more likely to reject any offer by the other side. Meanwhile, 60% of the country blames Trump or Republicans for the shutdown, compared to 30% (guess who that is) blaming Democrats.

Once again Trump deftly maneuvers Republicans into being helplessly trapped between the voters they need in order to win primaries and the ones they need to win elections.

Trump has this remarkable propensity for appearing in Cursed Images. Contemplate the above. This is certainly a cursed image. There is something about it; it is the sort of thing you should look at through a paper plate, or not at all.

Vanity Fair:

The shutdown and related chaos has pushed Donald Trump’s approval rating to new lows, with even Rasmussen, his polling happy place, pegging him at 43 percent. But the White House believes this is only the beginning of his troubles. In recent days, according to a source briefed on the conversation, Trump’s lawyer Rudy Giuliani has told people privately that he expects Robert Mueller to deliver the first installment of his report, dealing with obstruction of justice, “within the month.” “Rudy thinks it will be soon," said a person who’s spoken with Giuliani. “It’s only a matter of time.”

Giuliani, of course, has been wrong before about Mueller’s timing. In May, Giuliani claimed that the special counsel could be wrapped up by September 1. (Giuliani’s prior claim was seen as a strategy to pressure Mueller into completing his report before the 2018 midterms.) This time, however, Giuliani’s forecast about Mueller’s next move seems to be driven by his fears that the report will be “horrific” for Trump. According to a source, Giuliani recently told a close associate that he’s “very worried about the report.” The mounting pressure has also strained Giuliani’s relationship with Trump. “Rudy hates the job,” a Republican briefed on Giuliani’s thinking told me. “Trump is very hard to deal with.” (Giuliani didn’t return a call seeking comment).

Complicating matters is the shutdown, which has consumed Trump’s attention. A prominent Republican close to the White House told me that Trump is essentially winging it when it comes to shutdown talks with Democrats. “People are looking around asking, ‘What’s the play call?’” the Republican said. “He’s calling plays from the line of scrimmage.” “This was not played well. He’s in a pickle now, and I don’t see a way out.”

As noted in the article, prior claims were made to the media with deceptive purpose. This is a private concession that he’s afraid...which is ultimately also a concession that he considers his client guilty.

It’s like someone telling you they killed their wife and you responding “pfft, when I asked last week you said you didn’t do it. I’m supposed to believe you now?”

Nancy Pelosi is fucking vicious

Nancy Pelosi is fucking vicious

To recap: first, she cancelled the SotU, citing security concerns related to the shutdown.

Asked by reporters about the decision, she flippantly gave Trump permission to do it from the Oval Office...making it a reasonable option so long as his voting base isnt addicted to toxic masculinity and to not ever allowing a woman to dictate terms to them. In which case it now becomes an emasculating option.

Rudy Giuliani: "I killed my cousin."

Me: "At least your wife is okay."

Rudy: "..."

Me: ::look of horror::
