…aaaaand we’re shutting down again. Congress seems willing to give Trump whatever he wants whenever he wants it, and this week they’re giving him the shutdown he didn’t want last week. Will it be a yoojer shutdown to show who’s got the bigger shutdown button?
Seriously? Damnit.

My disillusionment continues. During Obama’s presidency, as now, there were people in silly hats yelling. I thought those people were right about reining in government and reducing the debt. Tea Party candidates won some seats and the sequester became law. When Trump appeared they faded away or converted to the Trump religion. The few who remain don’t have any power - like Rand, Jeff Flake, Bob Corker. So we’ll get a short meaningless shutdown. And have a big parade.
Liberals have reason to be thankful to have lost the presidency because it forces people to care, creates change, and gets new candidates elected. It’s far more disempowering to have your own party in office doing things that are idiotic and contrary to what they proclaimed. I hope Democrats are far more careful in choosing the form of our destructor than the Republicans the last time round.
