I don't think Democrats' motivation is simply immigration. DACA is an excuse for a shutdown. Harming the military may be a real aim. So is an attempt at slowing justice as the FISA/dossier crimes unravel.

True enough but in the last analysis.......gaining more power and seats in 2018 is at the
tippity-top of the list. The sweat beads of desperation on their foreheads is quite evident.

True - but as I warned before on this forum, the Tax Law will hurt us regarding the 34 GOP House Republicans in states where this was punative.

I have never seen the Federal Government take such a stand as to hurt millions of Americans. If you want people on your side, don't make them spend thousands of dollars (right after the holidays no less) in order to try to avoid being screwed by the IRS. And we are rewarding Apple, Google, and Facebook at the expense of hard working Americans? This was POLITICAL MADNESS.
