I'm sure this sudden reaction from Trump has absolutely NOTHING to do with Roger Stone's arrest this morning WHATSOEVER.........

WASHINGTON, Jan 25 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump on Friday said a deal had been reached on legislation that would reopen the U.S. government through Feb. 15.

"I am very proud to announce today that we have reached a deal to end the shutdown and reopen the federal government," Trump said at the White House.

Trump said in the meantime a bipartisan committee of lawmakers would meet to discuss the nation's border security needs.

The government closure was in its 35th day on Friday and was threatening the economy as hundreds of thousands of federal workers missed a second paycheck on Friday.

The U.S. Senate rejected two shutdown-ending bills on Thursday.

Trump had been dug in, insisting on funding for a wall he wants to build on the U.S.-Mexico border, while the Democratic-led House of Representatives opposed the wall.

Democrats in the House had demanded a reopening of the government before any negotiations with Trump and his Republican allies in Congress on border security. (Reporting by Jeff Mason and Steve Holland, Writing by Susan Heavey Editing by Tim Ahmann)

Your first sentence is absolutely spot on.

When Stone was arrested this morning I was waiting for something--ANYTHING--from Trump. I must say--I wasn't expecting him to go THIS far. Stone must be the holy grail for Mueller for Trump to do something like this.

I guess he called Ann Coulter and asked her what to do.

"I need to take attention away from Roger Stone!" he told her.

"OK, you can open the government again..... but only till February 15th," she told him.

"Why just until the 15th? " he asked.

"Because you will be indicted that day and that wuss of Pence will need to do something as President on the 16th," she explained.

I wish we could get rid of Pence as well. Maybe Mueller has something on him? We know he was heavily linked with Manafort and Flynn.

Bumping this up as "Steelhammer" aka "3to10IQ" tries to bury these recent posts by responding to very old posts.

Bumped as 3to10IQ / Steelhammer is still trying to bury the current news.

It's one thing to troll for your own amusement but how could anyone have the patience to bump up old threads as a troll tactic? At least the IMDB trolls could be fun, witty and creative--the ones here are beyond lame.

I’ll keep bumping the newer ones back up. Please do the same if I’m falling behind! Lol
