LOL, Individual-1 has decided he doesn’t want to sign the funding bill.
Trump’s Shutdown, just in time for Christmas!
Apparently, Fox and the Freedom Caucus were mean to him for not getting Wall money.
And Ann Coulter. It’s being reported Trump has unfollowed her on Twitter because she criticized him yesterday.
Trump’s skin is thinner than tissue paper and he makes snap policy decisions based on what he sees in the media.

But that’s how you operate, Little Donnie Fail-Fail! Your business strategy is to make promises, and then renege on them. What, only the King of America can do that?
What a vile piece of shit.

I guess he just wants to shut down the government for show, just so he can say he did everything he could to get the wall built?
With Democrats only weeks away from taking control of the House, the only leverage he had was to blame Democrats for shutting down the government. But he gave that away in last week’s televised temper tantrum. What’s he got left?

And they weren’t facing the near certainty of impeachment and/or indictment before the next election.

President Fuckface always acts according to the last person who talked to him. Can’t a Democrat give him a call?

Oh they’ll still blame Democrats. See SHS garbage above.

So the individual most responsible for the looming shutdown is…Ann Coulter? Thanks, Ann.
As of 20 minutes ago, the GOP is fighting to add wall funding to the bill, but they’re having problems because so many members are absent:
House Majority Whip Steve Scalise tells reporters that Republicans are working to add wall funding to the stop-gap spending bill.
“We’re going to move forward today to add language to the bill that the Senate sent over on government funding to add $5 billion to the wall as well as the disaster relief funding that’s been agreed upon between the House and Senate," he said.
The timeline: This could be voted on today.
But a key thing to remember: It is uncertain it will pass the House, and it has no chance in the Senate. The question is what do they do after it fails. Republican leaders aren’t sure yet.
Asked what happens if this bill for wall money fails in the Senate, Rep. Mark Meadows said: “I don’t know — I’m not in the Senate.”

While a lot of federal employees will face a bleaker holiday, Chump will be spending 16 days at his fancy Florida resort. Let them eat cake indeed!
Trump: “most beautiful piece of chocolate cake you’ve ever seen.”

I figured he would prefer carrot cake.

Trump’s desperate after Putin snubbed him at the G20. He’ll do anything to get Putin’s letter jacket back.

If a single good thing comes out of the Trump experience, it will be people who stop taking things for granted.
That was a serious problem for Czar Nicholas II, he would follow the advice of the last Minister he spoke with.
So Little Donnie Fail-Fail has nothing to worry about, right?
I’m only joking. Assassination is bad, m’kay?

The optics of Trump on a 16 day golf vacation vs government workers with no pay should be interesting…
