      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.

          Based on my personal experience dealing with severe personality disorders, I believe this analysis is spot-on and needs to be explored further. Could expose the biggest presidential health coverup since Woodrow Wilson.

          I have to agree here. And, I hate to say that the Dems need to take this to the limit as it affects so many people, but if Trump gets his way here ("his" way not America's way) then he will continue to eliminate the performance bar of the Presidency/our democracy.

          Trump’s shutdown will only end when he’s personally threatened or bribed by something. He has no responsibility, care or empathy for those on the end of his irrational and tyrannical behaviour.

          I'm hoping someone close to him is indicted to really push him over the edge into undeniable #25amendment territory. I don't get how anyone in DC is allowing this to continue.

          Yea - well now trump is threatening a National State of Emergency. That will give you a long thread to teach us about such acts. Please? What rights can he take away from us? What is added to his empowerment? How long does it last? Can Congress override it? How about #ThePeople?

          We can only hope if it looks as though that's his pass, Congress will invoke the 25th. The man is clearly deranged.

          Read the first part of Section 4 again "Whenever the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide..." Notice the "or such other body as Congress" phrase. Congress has the authority

          Trump is holding the pay of government workers and contractors hostage to try to force his wall demands to be met. If the wall was actually a good idea, he could argue its merits without having to resort to this kind of thing. No negotiations with terrorists.

          The ultimate solution is for @senatemajldr to do the right thing. Bring CR to the floor. Encourage approval. Get on with the business of governing instead of supporting Trump's temper tantrum.
