    Does the idiot expect members of the cabinet to take the bus for travel?

    I doubt MTG or her other right wing buddies take a bus over a plane when trouncing around the country, or going down to Mar a Lago to get their next orders from their orange man puppet leader.

    They say they are American loving patriots who love Veterans. Their actions speak much louder than words.
    They spit on the military any chance they get, but love posing in pics with them when it serves their purpose for fundraising. If these jerks do their Veterans Day praises they are complete hypocrites.

    It's rhetorical low-hanging fruit to criticize him for taking the weekend before there next self-inflictef calamity. But to be real, no deal will be made until the night of the shutdown. It doesn't matter how much work you put in ahead of time, the compromise will only be made at the deadline. That's not just congress but many, many negotiation situations. So why sweat it 8 days out?

    That may be the case, but typically THERE IS A PLAN (to avoid the shutdown) ahead of time with a number of options to choose from or derivatives of those options. I'm thinking there is a decent chance there is no plan this time since shutdown is a desired outcome for MAGA.

    I predict they will talk a big game about budget cuts and whatnot in exchange for funding the government, the Dems will reject, and then there will be another continuing resolution with maybe some token but ultimately meaningless concessions.

    I was going to say praising Mao is a new one from Trump but he might’ve thought that Xi or Bruce Lee was the President of Chy-NA then.

    He may have been thinking of any of those, but the right answer is the Daoguang Emperor, who led China in the first Opium War.

    Yes. I remember his advisors had a hard time getting Trump to focus, because he was always recreating the different moves nations and leaders made during the Opium war.

    Now, that’s a subtle twist on MAGA—Make America Great like Emperor China.
