To me it looks like the administration is the one shutting down the goddamn government.

I get that, but to blur the line between “the government” and this particular “administration” is a dangerous game.

The government is legitimate. The President is not legitimate, and some of the people in Congress are putting their credibility at risk by covering for him. But the government writ large is very much legit. Shutting down the government would be like what a Kindergarten teacher does in punishing the whole class until the misbehaving child can be identified. That may be where we are at, sadly.

I do not see it that way.
I see this as an extraordinary situation. We are pretty boxed in by years of election tampering. We have got to do what we can to stop these people - do you not think they are dangerous?
The GOP shut down the government twice over bullshit. The GOP still runs Congress. I don’t see any way we lose - America hates and fears this president and don’t tell me it’s just half. It’s way more than half.

That’s about the only other option and if this shit is still in the air come summer, then they are running that risk.

Can you say “unprecedented”?
Seems to be on the lips of everyone I read or talk to these days.

BC is sitting here eating a bowl of ice cream. LOL – hadn’t eaten this stuff in years but took it back up in the last month. Gee. Wonder why? Okay, if you, clunkertruck, can cut back on the ice cream so we can just fucking wake up, I promise to do the same! Deal, FSM?

I should have actually because that is the truth - it is unprecedented, therefore we need options to stop this.

There are going to be Marches for Science next month out here in California on 4/22. I don’t know if they will be as big as the women’s marches, but it could be interesting. And, of course, there will be demonstrations now because of the new improved but still defective travel ban.

Just saw this on Twitter. Josh tweeted that the sourcing was thin, but there seems to be something to it based on this:
Gold Star father Khizr Khan’s “freedom to travel abroad” is reportedly under review, and he says he doesn’t know why.
Khan was scheduled to speak at a luncheon in Toronto on Tuesday “on what we can do about the appalling turn of events in Washington — so that we don’t all end up sacrificing everything.” The two-hour event was to include a presentation and then a question-and-answer session.
But Khan was told late Sunday that his traveling privileges were under review, according to Ramsay Talks, which organized the luncheon.
“As a consequence, Mr. Khan will not be traveling to Toronto on March 7th to speak about tolerance, understanding, unity and the rule of law,” it said in a statement. “Very regretfully, Ramsay Talks must cancel its luncheon with Mr. Khan. Guests will be given full refunds.”

It sure sounds like Trump, who loves exacting a little revenge. Wow.

Ya know …I may be incorrect –
What if I need to eat MORE ice cream ? ? —
