Hmm. Okay so Drumpf is now saying he’s not gonna declare an emergency after all. We get to sit here with a largely unfunded government for at least a week until Congress goes back in session.

You know, if I was Putin, and I’d bought and paid for Donald, I’d be pretty goddamn happy with this result. The US is grinding to a halt as stuff shuts down, and while there’s still a few things like the military still running it’s probably gonna be a lot easier for Russia to do whatever the hell they want on a global scale.

Such a mess.

This is off-the-cuff theorizing based on skimming CNN’s front page just now plus a general sense that there was so much Russian collusion that Putin has a little light on his desk that goes on every time Donnie’s colon rumbles
