If the GOP was smart they'd just sneak the spending bill sans the wall into the pile Trump was going to sign. It's not like he reads any of those bills

Not sure what worries me more.
Basically all the politicians and pundits who think that Afghanistan could be won if only Trump would spend a little more time on a war that has already been going on for 17 years.
Or the Taliban celebrating that the US is planning to leave giving them the keys to Kabul.

How many times can you blow up the same shit before mathematically impossible.

So basically this ends with dems taking over on Jan 3rd and passing a clean CR, sending it back to the senate to pass it with enough votes to avoid a veto.

Yup he's going to get fired.

But who knows how markets would respond in the long run. They were quite happy with the Trump bull market of low interest rates.
So if Trump replaces powell with a guy less inclined to increase the rates the markets might actually prefer that.

I’m pretty sure that changing rates is actually a vote amongst all the governors (including the fed chair) to decide on the target rate, so it’s not clear that replacing Jerome Powell would even change much.

Seen various reporters point out that this shutdown feels nothing like the Obama era ones, where there were protests and battles going on. This feels like a game, like something you do to prove to someone that you're trying really hard to do xyz.

I agree with forum poster/historian Benji that Trump is a terrible manager, and it costs him points that could have won/earned otherwise. Right now he's juggling the Mathis resignation and Fed chair threats (which WILL result in an ugly Monday market). Two things republicans care about. All while demanding republicans go down with the ship on a shutdown fight he not only instigated, he took credit for before it even happened. Remember the senate passed the clean CR 100-0. Ryan could have passed it in the House with a veto proof majority, but instead decided one last act of cowardice was too enticing to pass up. That all changes on January 3rd though. Pelosi will pass a clean CR, and she might even get enough republican votes to override a veto. Then it goes back to the senate...is McConnell going to refuse to pass it? I doubt it.

Anyway Corker said that the next 3 months will also be decisive on wether or not Trump runs again.
Plus the White House is trying to get hope hicks back because she knew best how to handle Trump and he was happier when she was around.

Sanders allies don't understand that this isn't going to be 2016, and he won't be running against one (uninspiring and controversial) person. He benefited from being the only anti-Hillary candidate in what was basically a two person race.

I doubt Sanders will win 1 primary before March/April super tuesday.

Trump's foreign policy: "Do exactly the opposite of what John Bolton says" that might actually work

Anyhow, has Shananan(?) called the US tactical bombers yet to verify their loyalty to the regime?

The order to withdraw has been signed by Mattis. All Troops are home within a few weeks according to CNN.
Turkey is already moving in heavy equipment for an offensive against ISIS.

This gives Trump the position he loves the most. Tweeting from the sidelines and shitting on Erdogan for not being able to destroy only 1% of ISIS while the US did 99%.

In a single phone call: Within NATO Erdogan made himself responsible for destroying ISIS (at some point partly his allies) and Erdogan put himself on a collision course with Russia and the Syrian government.
Without the US airforce as cover and US troops embedded in rebel operations to keep everyone focused on ISIS it'll basically be a Battle Royale zone among the remaining rebels.

Anyhow he tweeted out the new keyword today: "Presidential Harrasment" enjoy 2019 everyone!
