His campaign committee can pay for this, not American taxpayers. This mis-administration needs to be walled off from continually making knee jerk policies that hurt America and our stature in the world community.

No. There is no plan, no clever media spin, no tricky coordination. Everything is on fire in all directions at the speed of light.

If we are distracted, that is a convenient side effect.

“Well, he had a dirty di-di, so he was understandably irritable and upset. So we changed him, put some talcum on his ass, fed him some pureed fried chicken and peas, and he was fine. Afterward, we gave him some color crayons. So, yeah, all in all, it was a very productive meeting.”

It’s going to be amazing if Wonk Wunderkind Paul Ryan literally leaves office with the government shut down.

A more fitting epitaph I cannot imagine.

The GOP house doesn’t have the votes to pass wall funding on their own, so they’re really left with two options.

  1. They let Trump shut things down after they fail to get 218 Republicans to vote for wall funding and try to blame the Democrats. That won’t work, but hey, they might try it anyway.

  2. They override the veto with democratic support.

Option 2 is the one they should try, so we can expect an protracted shutdown.

The office of President of the United States is currently occupied by a four-year old child. That’s what I call “sad.”
