I gotta say I do give Trump some credit for owning the shutdown and taking responsibility.

What he's doing is utterly irresponsible and morally reprehensible, but at the very least he's owning it (at least right now).

It'll never stick. He just says what he needs to to get through a given moment and look tough to his base. Assuming theres a shutdown theres not a chance he doesnt go straight to blaming schumer anyway. Reality and record have no place in Trumps presidency, only whats convenient to hold up as the "truth". Keep in mind this is a guy who lies even when he doesnt have to and when it will obviously backfire like with Acosta.

It will not be a complete government shutdown because key agencies are funded well into next year. Only DHS and maybe some others will be unfunded.

DHS being unfunded means the TSA is unfunded. That will cut into overtime and prevent extra staffing beyond the bare minimum number of essential personnel. And they won't be getting paid until post-shutdown so they'll be super grumpy.


I'm really glad I'm not flying to my parents' for Christmas this year, security checkpoints are going to be fun.

I never see how claims like this are materially different than claims trump is a 300D chess master.

Maybe with some coat of paint that he's some sort of idiot savant that is good at literally everything but it's not praise because his body moves mindlessly to inevitably and unfailingly always win every situation, even ones that haven't happened yet.

What, drawn, and talk of peace! I hate the word, As I hate hell, all Montagues, and thee

Here's my defense of Manchin getting the committee chair:

He's a senior Senator with a strong interest in the committee's area, which is usually the person who gets the chair. Plus he's important senator whose continued success and cooperation are vital for when RBG finally dies.

"But his vote isn't important before 2020, he's in the minority and the Republicans have the votes."

Yep, but those facts are also true about his committee chairmanship.

I don't think having more lovely Dems in power who do things like actively advocate against doing something about global warming helps Democratic prospects in the next election, because it's hard to get people enthusiastic about voting when Democrats let lovely idiots like that have power

It's 2018. Anybody, friend or foe alike, knows Trump gets pissy easy. All it takes is a cellphone camera. It is way more likely that someone has a shot they agreed or were forced to agree not to share, than it is that no one has ever recorded one.

This is my biggest regret: Once this is all over we get to have all the documentaries, the interviews and the analysis, but we'll never get to see the recordings of him losing his poo poo and people -- actual professionals, including lifetime military types -- trying to deal with his childish petulance.

I'd watch a reality TV show of that.
