WASHINGTON (Reuters) -U.S. President Donald Trump said on Tuesday at the White House that his administration planned to produce a list on Friday of "Democrat programs" that will be closed as a result of the ongoing federal government shutdown.

He did not specify the programs but indicated that the closures would be permanent.

The 15th government shutdown, now in its 14th day, lingers into a third week as Republican and Democratic lawmakers continue to blame each other for their impasse and disruptions that have resulted.

"Only Democrats have made demands, and by the way very expensive demands" in return for voting to reopen the government, Senate Majority Leader John Thune, a Republican, said in a speech to the Senate on Tuesday.

4. the bluff may well be that social security and medicare are on the list.

this is an easy call. they intend to shut down all programs whether the govt is open or not.

if we take any of this to court, there is a real danger of the supremes finding govt insurance programs to be unoriginalist

5. Psychopaths torture, humiliate, threaten others to get what they want.

Like Putin is doing in Ukraine.

It has given the Ukrainians more resolve to fight back.
