I’m desperately trying to parse what this means. Do you want someone to attach a fire hose to him? Paint him red? I must be missing something obvious.

Why is this a code block?

I’ve heard it called a “Cold Civil War,” which I think captures the feeling right now. Neither side is actively engaged, but the administration is stepping closer and closer to the line, using more and more overt uses of force and rhetoric.

Yes.

Same reason we don’t prosecute any of the other war crimes.

I’m curious why the GOP seems to be actively pursuing a shutdown right now, that they have full trilateral control over the Federal Government. Trump already isn’t bothering to staff or govern the administrations they don’t like, it seems like this would only hamper their goals with ICE & DHS, right?

Is there even an actual goal here? Or are they betting on Schumer et al caving at the last possible nanosecond?
