      I haven't written on the shutdown because in the years I spent negotiating on a daily basis as a defense lawyer, one thing I learned was you can't analyze a negotiation strategy effectively if your negotiating partner is irrational. Trump's shutdown can't be competently analyzed.

      2/ In other words, the only analysis of the shutdown worth a damn is an analysis that says Trump's mental and emotional pathologies are dangerous and mean the shutdown could last a few more hours or many months. That's been my perspective from the moment the government shut down.

          3/ Trump's shutdown will therefore end whenever his dangerous mental and emotional pathologies permit it to—an unknowable in the equation—or Democrats decide to cave to Trump's instability, which would be just as dangerous a precedent as that instability is in the first instance.

          4/ A third possibility, but one not worth discussing because Mitch McConnell is ultimately not a functioning human soul, would be the House and Senate bypassing Trump to strike a deal that's veto-proof. I think we're many weeks away from McConnell being willing to go that route.

          Trumps sheer stupidity and the scale of how far removed he is from reality is as unnerving as it is bizarre. He’s just given some of the most rambling & incoherent answers I’ve ever witnessed yet seems utterly convinced he’s just rivalled the Gettysburg address. 100% narcissist.

          The Trump Admin. has never completed any kind of a scientific study on whether a wall would work, whether there are alternatives, exactly where it would be built, what design would work the best or how much it would cost, yet he expects everyone to be on board no questions asked.

          Ask yourself whether Trump, the real estate tycoon, would invest money in a project without any kind of feasibility study beforehand. He is expecting us to fork over $5.6 billion without knowing much of anything.

          When I read that Republicans were waiting for a clear plan from Trump my heart sank bc I don’t even think he’s lucid enough to place his McDonald’s order without a side of sociopathic word salad.

          Yeah. Time to just spend all free time calling GOP offices, demanding they get on the over-ride stick, because he’s never going to be functional enough. (Am so sorry.)

          He’s holding federal workers hostage. The US Congress should not negotiate with hostage takers.

          He only has that one strategy where he throws a tantrum until he gets everything he wants. The problem is that Democrats have nothing to lose by waiting. His popularity is already low, and Mueller arrest people regularly. Trump will get the blame and Pelosi knows it.

          It's the same reason that you can never give in to a child's temper tantrum. At this point, any concession at all will just teach Trump that if he's not getting his way, he just needs to up the ante.

          The only thing that makes sense to me of why he is so blind to a lot of this...is he knows is on the way out and he is holding on for one big payment from the wall construction industry.

          Yes. Any media speculation based on what would *typically* happen is not applicable here because Trump is not in a rational place. And his advisors are extremists.
