Trump cancels talks with Congressional Democrats, setting the stage for a government shutdown.

Of course, continuing in the same vain has his UN speech, his stated reasons are completely insane and non-factual.

Trump: “After reviewing the details of the unserious and ridiculous demands being made by the Minority Radical Left Democrats in return for their Votes to keep our thriving Country open, I have decided that no meeting with their Congressional Leaders could possibly be productive. They are threatening to shut down the Government of the United States unless they can have over $1 Trillion Dollars in new spending to continue free healthcare for Illegal Aliens (A monumental cost!), force Taxpayers to fund Transgender surgery for minors, have dead people on the Medicaid roles, allow Illegal Alien Criminals to steal Billions of Dollars in American Taxpayer Benefits, try to force our Country to again open our Borders to Criminals and to the World, allow men to play in women’s sports, and essentially create Transgender operations for everybody."

I fear he will order his magaloons to start shooting liberals in the streets and say they are antifa (which is made up and doesn’t exist)

I have never gotten an email solicitation to donate to antifa!

Y’all like to remind us daily that you’re in charge so, buck up and do the “in charge” thing. If you can’t whip votes among the majority, maybe it’s because the bill is chit.
