I have my own IFs.
IF Hoyer influences more dims...
IF there are seven dim senators...
IF President Trump declares a state of emergency...
and there are other possibilities
Some have a different set of IFs, and I usually go with the positive, OR I could go nuts
WTH? Shows that Trump is caving? Are you kidding? This says to me ...Ok, you want your shutdown, then here it is. And I will as a result, will choose not to conduct the duties of MY office until the shutdown is over.
It puts Trump totally in control and puts the ball in HER COURT and even more pressure on HER to end the shutdown. Also demonstrates to the country how much we really are in peril at this time with an unsecure border — that regular traditions and acts are at this moment, suspended.
