Shutdown Is Pure Distraction From Trump's 17 Investigations.

[PaulX2]

I wish the media would state the obvious.

They are ignoring Trump's crimes 100%.

Trump owns them again.

Sad.

Sad for America.

1. But the investigations are ongoing

Trump thinks that if TV isn't covering the investigations, they aren't happening. But they are.

Some Dems might even be happy to have the cameras diverted from them for now while they ramp up their work. They are busy and this might help them get further faster.

2. This is a win for trump and putin.

America loses. I see no end to this. Trump's threat to extend this for years is just foreshadowing. There is no incentive for him to open the government -- with or without the wall.

3. trumps last attempt to use what ever power he has left to extort democrats and I say

lets totally shut govt down, end ALL govt spending and see how the markets respond and the wealthy GOP donors take it


we are resilient and when comes time to take on a tyrant, we all must be willing to sacrifice

4. Bonehead move in my opinion

Don't see how this is going to be anything other than damaging to IQ45's favorability rating. When tax returns aren't processed, I foresee a big blow back among his followers. When it takes 3 hours to go through TSA, etc....

5. Trump doesn't own the M$M,

The corporate controlled right wing M$M has always been there pushing the corporate narrative. Go back to when Phil Donahue was forcefully saying we shouldn't invade Iraq and Tweety was all gung ho for going in, msnbc fired Donahue and kept Tweety. Look at the number of people that msnbc has fired, I sorely miss Keith Olbermann and Dylan Ratigan, who by the way had 2 of the most popular shows on msnbc.
