Shit®? Meet Fan(D)…
A cave by Trump brought to you by Special Counsel Mueller.
And what is the rationale for a one week delay? Just agree to a final bill and sign it. This can only be a political stunt, perhaps because the death of an ex-president makes the theater a little awkward for the party that wants a shutdown. (And in case there is any question, that party would be the Republicans.)
Put if off for a week or two, then we are in the holidays so put it off some more because we don’t want to ruin anyone’s Xmas. The new Congress will be sworn in and it will slowly fade away and hopefully not get mentioned again.
How many Trump enterprises have resulted in bankruptcy? Remind me, please.
Funding the U.S. government a week at a time because the dog ate your homework. #winningtoomuch
To be fair, several have ended in lawsuits.
This is a political stunt because the death of an [Republican] ex-president makes the theater a little awkward for the party that wants a shutdown
It is absolutely crucial to deny Dump a “win” on his idiotic racist Wall, especially now that we’re on the cusp of taking over. A humiliating loss on this foundational promise of his will demoralize his base. There’s a reason his approval rating went down after he got crushed in the midterms—because he was exposed as the loser he is. More of that, please, senate Dems.
Donnie’s the one that’s a chicken shit —
I agree, and here’s the key:
It was a popular idea among his supporters, and he repeatedly said Mexico would pay for the wall’s construction. Since taking office, however, Trump has shifted his position, saying the wall must be constructed using taxpayer money.
(From the linked Post article.)
When you live and die by the news cycle (because you have no policy goals, no ideology, no philosophical commitments, and because your only hope is to stay one step ahead of justice), putting things off for a month is an unmitigated victory. I bet Trump absolutely slathers tonight’s steak/charcoal in ketchup to celebrate.

The wall itself is an odd projection of American insecurity. Walls never work over the long run. In China the Mongols just went around or paid off people to open the gates. The best defense was just to Chinafy the Mongol ruler after they took China. Similarly, the only wall America should be building is the security that comes from having the best ideas, most literate population and fairest outcomes. The fact that this has become an all-consuming crusade for some GOPers should be disconcerting. The Ming were betrayed when their military opened the gates to the Manchu. This suggests as possible tension in the GOP ranks if this wall stuff continues longer: they have to worry that rational members in the party may sell out when the selling is good rather than continue with this nutty policy. When that happens, you could see purges of non-loyals or more defections. Of course, the GOP could also come to its senses, but how likely is that?
Is that ‘V’ for Victorious or Vanquished?
If they were even a little bit clever, they should . . . wait a minute, why give them any ideas?
Now that tRump is digging his own grave he’s willing to give an extension to the government shutdown, he wishes all his Jewish friends Happy Hanukah and he and Melania mourn the loss of GHW Bush. What is wrong with this new picture? People are trying to play nice for him maybe hoping the grave digging will stop but it’s way too late Donnie. This is so transparent it makes me sick.
OFFS, Republicans control Congress, Trump is in the WH, why are the Congressional Republicans letting Trump lead them around by the short hairs? Tell him fuck off and get the money from Mexico.
