“Going forward, I hope Democrats will stay true to the commitment they have stated constantly over the past weeks"

They won't. They never do. If they did, we would have had this whole thing licked under Reagan.

Stay true? You mean lie that we care then cut the funding to steal for our pet programs so border security is imaginary? They've been consistent in that for decades.

Or screw the legal immigrants and citizens, we want beholden Democrat voters and cheap labor? The Republican leaders like cheap labor too.

Or we don't care if people suffer, we want Trump to fail? ( another bipartisan movement!)

Or is it the humanitarian crisis we've created must continue as Obama intended in a Cloward Piven destruction scheme?

All of the above?

Trump signed a temporary funding bill.

The Democrats are declaring victory, and are very happy they will never have to make a deal with Trump.

The Republicans are either scared, angry, or happy they aren't going to be blamed for everything for a couple of weeks. Or all of the above.

Ann Counter is furious Trump caved, and she doesn't get her wall.

And Trump fans insist it's all a super strategy, five dimensional chess, and Trump always intended it this way, and just you wait, by golly, he has them this time!

Me? I sent my weekly Email to Kim with the location of Congress & the nearest Truck rental place.

I'm not sure I would do that. Post about it publicly that is.

All that has been done is to kick the can down the road a few weeks.

Personally, I think Trump has classically, underestimated an advisory. Easy to do if you have a basic belief that the people you are dealing with aren't really evil enough to destroy a country like the US. Trump is good at adjusting though. There's a lot to be played out yet.

He did make a big mistake when he told Pelosi and Shcumer that he would own a government shutdown, IMO.

In my opinion (for what it's worth), with all due respect, you haven't been paying attention.

Sifo, why would I be ashamed of my efforts to get the extended Jenner family to move from LA to D.C.? ( I have a hard time spelling Kardassian, so just refer to Kim, the most popular )

I figure the Jenner clan & the respect the media has for them, will improve the news. Plus Mr. West ( the 2024 Republican nominee ) would have a secure place to stay ( No doubt with a wall to keep out the Nevertrumpers ) close to the Capitol.

The plus for the Kaitlin kids is that the D.C. Area is now higher income than Hollywood, with less taxes than California. I look forward to Mr. West & Kim debating Sandy on 70% taxes.

( Sorry if I spelled anyone's name wrong )

I thought it was Bajoran trouble?

The spin around the temporary pause in the "shutdown" should be hooked to a generator. The end of fossil fuels!

From both sides. The She Wolf Coulter wants Trump to have stood his ground. Middle road Rs say it's a ploy, so Donald isn't blamed for the air travel bureaucracy shutting down flights to the Commercial Bowl. Trump seems to be calling everyone an idiot ( true! ) and giving out metaphorical rope.

The Ds are either claiming victory, pretending they didn't say they should maybe budget a small amount for fencing, last week, or shouting that they will never surrender and give the soon to be impeached Trumphitler a penny. Or some combination of the above.

I'm going to believe it when I see it, and even then, doubt that the news isn't lying.

I'm not sure where this Afghanistan policy is going to go.

The "news" at this point is jabber & untrustworthy.

Really mixed feelings on where I Want it to go.

On one hand, ending our involvement in Afghanistan is a good thing. I supported kicking the Taliban out. 90% disagreed with everything after that. It's a useless place to go die. Silk and coral and jade no longer pass through, & it's lost it's importance as an invasion route, too. It's basically West Pakistan, where they grow dope and send waves of tribal warfare for thousands of years. We can't stop the Taliban without doing something drastic to Pakistan, and we won't, so there's no win.

Might as well pull out.


the world's largest oil and rare earth deposits Will be found a week after we leave. No matter when & how. ; )

OTOH, I don't like the growth of theocratic government. It's bad for the ongoing terror war. Bad for Syrian, Iraqi, and Iranian conflicts. Bad for civilization.

On the Gripping Hand,
Not sure if that viewpoint "demands" we stay, though. Pick your battles wisely. If we focus on Iran, & the Saudi Reformation, it might be best to leave Pakistan & the Afghans to endless tribal raids. Hope they eventually reach the bronze age if we settle the middle East down & the Saudis quit paying them to be radical. It's cynical realpolitik.

The super villain in me wants drastic & dramatic. I don't want that, at all. Just too many video game memes!

My attitude on the "loss of prestige" from leaving Afghanistan is simple. Tell the truth & everyone will know this ain't Barry's bull crap. The increase in respect would be massive.
