What a putz

[VinylGuy]

at seven is marginal right?

I imagine the poor kids mind trying to understand that and the fact that believing in santa is weird.

Potentially stupid question, but hopefully not: if the shutdown runs into the new year, the new Congress gets sworn in on schedule, right?

[McParadigm]

Yes

[Simple Torture]

I like my answers short and sweet.

[Hatfield]

Yes

What are the predictions for how this shutdown will run once the Dem's are sworn into the House?

[McParadigm]

$5 billion for a wall becomes a literal impossibility. I’m unclear on whether the House can then sign the original senate compromise bill and send it on to the president to veto, but if they can I’m sure they will.

Donald has, in all of this mess, never had an actual and consequential ideological confrontation that he couldn’t huff and puff about and then quietly drive around. I don’t imagine he would dare give up on it (although his nonsensical “I just signed a contract” tweet did make me wonder if he’d try to fake a victory), and Democrats aren’t likely to offer over $2b. Once House investigations kick in, and he starts rage tweeting about those, negotiations become even harder to navigate.

It’ll be a nice surprise if this doesn’t obliterate the 21 day shutdown record.

You just know he thinks the military is his own, private force and that if anyone tries to remove him from office, he can just send them out and remove the problem.

Prague???

Cell signal puts Cohen outside Prague around time of purported Russian meeting

WASHINGTON -
A mobile phone traced to President Donald Trump’s former lawyer and “fixer” Michael Cohen briefly sent signals ricocheting off cell towers in the Prague area in late summer 2016, at the height of the presidential campaign, leaving an electronic record to support claims that Cohen met secretly there with Russian officials, four people with knowledge of the matter say.

During the same period of late August or early September, electronic eavesdropping by an Eastern European intelligence agency picked up a conversation among Russians, one of whom remarked that Cohen was in Prague, two people familiar with the incident said.

The phone and surveillance data, which have not previously been disclosed, lend new credence to a key part of a former British spy’s dossier of Kremlin intelligence describing purported coordination between Trump’s campaign and Russia’s election meddling operation.

The dossier, which Trump has dismissed as “a pile of garbage,” said Cohen and one or more Kremlin officials huddled in or around the Czech capital to plot ways to limit discovery of the close “liaison” between the Trump campaign and Russia.

At this point that twist wouldn't even be the furthest thing in left field.

The president lied to service members, offended Iraqis and may have revealed the location of a special operations unit
