Seems eerily quiet, newswise right now. Will this continue until after New Years?

It makes me antsy.

1. The government is shut down, Congress isn't in session and everybody is on vacation.

So of course it's fairly quiet. You can bet things will heat up next week. Bigly.

3. One might expect some leaks about negotiations going on in the background...

or at least conversations about future negotiations to end the government shutdown... Or what Trump is up to... Or any number of things...

2. Twittler isn't tweeting.

Why, I don't know.

Too much of the news is about his idiotic hateful tweets.

5. There is a lot going on behind the scenes among the true Unionists...

There is a lot going on behind the scenes among the true Unionists... and the traitors are wondering what it is, and are deeply befuddled by not knowing what it is they are facing, and lashing out ineffectively in every direction at once because of it...

For anyone who thinks DJT and his fellow travelers are worried about what DJT may do to our nation, and our world:

"Oh, I am heartily tired of hearing about what Lee is going to do. Some of you always seem to think he is suddenly going to turn a double somersault, and land in our rear and on both of our flanks at the same time. Go back to your command, and try to think what are we going to do ourselves, instead of what Lee is going to do."
- Ulysses S. Grant

DJT is a delusional tool who never worked a day, broken an honest sweat, or sacrificed anything in his life. He is incapable of planning and sticking to a plan for more than a day, if that ... a gnat has a longer attention span.

We, on the other hand, are the people of the UNITED States, who together have slowly and painfully found our way to Union and liberty over some two centuries+ of history, and over the course of that period, defeated the King, the rebels, the Kaiser, the Fuhrer, the Emperor, Il Duce, the Generalissimo, and plenty of other two bit tinpot wannabee caesars, both foreign and domestic.

As has been stated:

I do not pretend to understand the moral universe; the arc is a long one, my eye reaches but little ways; I cannot calculate the curve and complete the figure by the experience of sight; I can divine it by conscience. And from what I see I am sure it bends towards justice
- Theodore Parker

We are going to destroy this current bunch of kleptocrats and con men as well. Keep up the fire.

6. Perhaps the rumors of Trump (or someone) secretely headed overseas are true

The overseas "spotters" are now saying this plane (compatible with, but not id'd as AF1 officially) is now over Cairo, believed in route to Kuwait City:
