Think back to January. 2018 was the newest thing in Washington, and no one had any idea how it would go. Now, believe it or not, pretty soon it will never be 2018 again. That’s a massive rise and fall, but it’s typical of how fortunes can change in an instant in the age of the first Reality TV President.

The thing is, no one has a solution to that problem that I've seen that isn't literally "kill every last one of them so you know you got them all", and that poo poo wasn't working back in like the spanish-american war either. Check out history, turns out no one has been good at fighting insurgency conflicts and we still haven't figured out a way to do so.

Not saying that we shouldn't be trying to do a better job, just that it isn't in any way a new problem.

Part of it is that in order to be effective, your occupation force has to be really huge by modern standards of troop deployments. I think an American occupation of Iraq could have... I balk at the word 'worked', but let's say 'resulted in far less bloodshed and destabilization' if we'd put a million troops on the ground rather than the meager amount we did.

Of course, it's important to remember that the Bush administration was not planning on occupying Iraq. At all. Rumsfeld and friends built the whole goddamn campaign around the idea that we were going to go kick the door in, capture or kill Saddam Hussein, and then declare Mission Accomplished as we ran off; Paul Bremer conned Bush into an ad-hoc occupation, after the fact. Some others have already remarked on the ill-effects of other various insanities that the best and brightest of neo-conservatism inflicted on Iraq.

Exactly. He gets no vanity project, no "win" for his base, and no wall or wall-like object. Every single budget from here on out needs to explicitly ban the use of a single cent for a wall.

If he doesn't like it, too bad because he also gets no input on the matter. Either he signs it or it gets rammed down his throat with a veto override, there is no other possibility.

Anyone remember 2010/2011 when Obama tried to negotiate with the deficit reduction committees and was willing to negotiate away social security, medicare, and a host of other poo poo for the smallest of tax increases?

How do we do that to Trump, but for the wall?

I don’t really see how it could go any other way after January 3rd. The House will pass a clean CR on their first day, which leaves the Senate with two options: a clean CR, or nothing because the Dems will filibuster anything else. Pelosi just has to throw up her hands and say “hey, we passed a CR, we’re just waiting on the Senate” and the shutdown continuing becomes the GOP’s responsibility. If the Senate passes a clean CR and Trump vetoes it, even more so.

I don't think we get a Senate bill unless the GOP is drat sure Trump will sign it. If they stand together against a clean CR then I think there's some chance they can shape a narrative which presents the Dem controlled House as "unreasonably demanding," but if they send anything to Trump's desk and he refuses to sign off that casts them as losing on every front.
