1. The next Trump hostage situation.

And then the next, and then...?

Almost is if Trump wants to be stopped.

[bitterross]

2. Not a damn thing.

No re-shut down. I don't think he'll be able to do it.

[bdamomma]

4. Would he be that stupid to try it???

yes, but he's got that snake Stephen Miller who is as evil and is abusing his power too.

[bitterross]

7. Of course he would. You're right about the serpants.

Trump has Miller, Coulter, Hannity, LimpBalls, etc. egging him on.

His ego will not withstand the onslaught.

3. From Trump's perspective, it distracts a bit--

and it means in three more weeks, when there will probably be other indictments, Trump can have another temper tantrum and threaten that emergency measure, which you know he'd love.

His whole purpose at this point is to divert attention from whatever Mueller is doing. All those employees? Cannon fodder.

Really, it's almost unbelievable how very little he cares about all the standard things most presidents-- heck, most bosses-- care about-- the employee well-being, the reputation of the organization, the finances, the achievements, the customers.

5. After cancelling the House, Michael Cohen has said

he will comply with the Senate Intelligence Committee's subpoena and appear on February 12th. Trump may need a big distraction from that.

6. SOTU?

[onenote]

8. One week longer than the extension the Senate voted on before Trump reversed himself

two weeks shorter than some of the more recent proposals.
