The White House Is The People's House - Can Trump & The Repugs Use The Telephone Answering Service..

It takes shots at the Dems.

SNL So Far Isn't Very Funny Tonight....

they had so much material to work with this last week and they are bombing.

Seth Meyers & Cobert are funnier on a daily basis. One would think SNL has a whole week to put together a funny show that it would really be funny. They just aren't doing it.

Already The Repugs Are Using Weasel Words For The Trump Sh*tdown....

calling it a 'lapse in services' vs a Sh*tdown.

They are keeping some services open because they know they are feeling the brunt of the blame and they want to lessen the blow and look like heros.

I'm Calling It The "Trump Sh*tdown"....

He deserves it.

Are The Majority Of The American People Even Concerned About The Sh*tdown?.....

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that there is a big portion of the American People that don't even know that we're in a sh*tdown now.

We've gone through sh*tdowns in the past and they always seemed to be resolved one way or another. I don't even know if the majority of the American People even felt the effects of previous sh*tdowns.

So - the cable news channels are relishing in this sh*tdown and it is the story of the day. It pays their bills.

The only way such a sh*tdown will have any real effect is that if the majority of the American People feel and hurt bad from its effect. That will only happen if this drags on for weeks and months.

Maybe this is why Trump said what he tweeted about a sh*tdown. - "what this country needs a "good 'shutdown."

Maybe if we had a prolonged sh*tdown that really hurts. Maybe then we'll be able to work on bipartisan solutions. Maybe then the Dems and Repugs will come together.

Could this be what Trump was going for when he tweeted that tweet.

Are The Repugs Going To Give The Dems A Chance To Respond To The Whining Of Ryan And McConnell....

I Really Question Whether Trump Is Suseptible To Blackmail.....

he's gotten away with so much crap over his life and now as pResident everything seems to bounce off of him. Some of the things he said and done over the last year have been so vile - and yet he gets a pass. His Party circles the wagon around him to protect him and the furor dies down in a few days (news cycle) and we just chalk it up - oh - that's Trump - you'd expect that from him.

So to me any attempt at blackmailing Trump will go the same route. It's like he's immune to blackmail.

The American People have also become so sensitized by the outlandish things Trump does and says - that it's become matter a fact and he skates by. Nothing sticks.

So now if Putin releases a pee tape - I think he'll be excused of that too.

I've become so jaded in the last year. I've come to believe that if Trump shot someone in the middle of Times Square - he'd get away with that like he said.

He buys his way out of everything.
