He will be responsible for shutting down the government completely all by his lonesome. Go for it, asshole. See how far that gets you with your base, let alone the rest of the country. It won’t be a pretty sight. He’ll lose another 5 points with them and after Easter, if it lasts that long, there goes another 5 points.

This is like playing Russian Roulette. It IS playing Russian Roulette!

I can’t predict what he’ll do, but this strikes me as obvious reality show gamesmanship.

One party controls the House, the Senate, the Executive branch, and a sizable chunk of the Judiciary. And yet they still can’t govern. I’m shocked, shocked!

Trump relishes keeping everyone back on their heels. Bolton, Dowd, China sanctions, and now this veto threat. Do not be at all surprised, looking at the roll he is on over the last 48 hours, to see him announce today Rosenstein is fired. If not that something approaching that seismic level of disruption. He’s a disruption junkie, and the intervals between needed fixes shorten more by the hour.

If, in the business world, you made a deal after difficult multi-party negotiations and backed out of it the next day you would go bankrupt quick, possibly even several times…

You might even be forced to turn to shady Russians for funding, because no bank would touch you!

Seeing how this thing already passed and a whole day early, a real milestone for this GOP-led Congress since they didn’t wait for what has been the usual 11th hour bullpuckey, its not like Dems are gonna help him the second time around and he’ll be stuck with having to give bigger concessions to Dems if he wants a second passage of the bill to happen. I say he should go for it and shoot himself in the other foot while he’s at it. Personally, I don’t see him doing it. It interferes with his great escape to go golfing this weekend in order to avoid all the protests.

All to supposedly protect Dreamers that he could save by simply undoing his own executive order.

But that would ruin your chances of becoming President, because there is a fundamental wisdom that animates and guides the common folk of American society. They would never elevate such a person to a position of such great responsibility.

Trump has a finite number of tricks up his sleeve, but his rate of turning tricks seems to be increasing.

This omnibus bill does not protect Dreamers. It’ll have to come from the courts at this point I think. But yeah, he could undo all of that, but it takes a big man to admit when he’s wrong and one thing we know…He’ll never be that person.

Nothing ever under this maladministration is allowed to proceed under regular order and even close to normalcy. Its a Rump branding thing, or so I’ve been told.

The man is panicking. He desperately needs to control and threaten and bully, because that’s how he feels ‘safe.’

Unfortunately, shutting down the federal government, escalating tensions with Iran and NK, and starting a trade war won’t rid him of the source of his panic.

How badly will he damage the country before he tries to take Mueller out?
