With all the great thinkers, how come no one has question the timing of trumps play? [View all]

This was the ace he and the GOP were holding onto to when all signs that the Democrats would win the house. Its a very simple tactic to bend Pelosi and the house democrats to the will of trump


the forced the pain on the american people has little to do with $5 billion wall and MORE to do with extorting and breaking a congress capable of impeachment. This is THE political moment in US history.

we all must hold firm when this shutdown last for months AND trump finds a way to suspend SS payments and Medicare payments, HE does NOT care and that being said, is the worse type to "deal with". He (and GOP) are holding america hostage and we should treat that as an act of terrorism and we do NOT negotiate with terrorists. PERIOD


The pain has to be so great and backlash at trump AND congressional republican. Until GOP sees complete disaster for THEM, the shutdown will remain in place as the ONLY solution will be presidential veto OVERRIDES. No chance in hell for that to happen for MONTHS

Trump cares nothing about any of this. Its my belief this is the ACE he has been holding onto. Why NO SERIOUS action on this fricking $5 billion border wall has been taken by the GOP in congress. They are trying to use the pain of the shutdown to destroy the House Democrats. We all must stay resilient and the pain has even started. This is to THE HISTORIC moment in our history with a madman who wants to be a tyrant willing to destroy americans at will to achieve it.
