    Extremely embarrassing day for Trump and his supporters.

    Every day that this clown car chauffeur spends in the White House weakens our nation and destroys the very fabric of our government. He is breaking our nation and every government agency and institution that keep it functioning. Just impeach and indict this mistake. Not necessarily in that order.

    I don't know about embarrassing (maybe it is), but this certainly looks like a defeat for the Mighty Orange Hobgoblin.

    I'm amazed at how many people have strong resentment for government employees.

    I dunno if Trump's ego can take 3 weeks of this kind of hammering from the FoxNews and white nationalist crowd. I want to hope Trump has learned his lesson about hostage taking, but I can totally see Mr. BankruptCasino signing up for another go at the shutdown game.

    You may be giving him too much credit... did he stop after the first bankruptcy?

    ...the Donald should get Putin or Julian Assange to do the hacking...

    ...they've shown how good they are at that...and it's not like he hasn't asked for their help before...

    ...and that would be right in line with him hiring the best people for the job...

    He should go to Mar Lago. Take some time off after his epic win.

    Not surprising when you reflect on what you pay in taxes, the bloated federal bureaucracy with their bloated salaries, red tape, etc.
