Blog Credo

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.

Rank Stupidity

Look, we know Donald Trump is a moron.  Don't believe me?  Just listen to every word he says.

But there has to be a limit on the stupidity of the GOP Congress. 

If we shut the government down again, that will be an exercise is complete stupidity.  It does sound like Democrats are staking a position that is justifiable on policy grounds, but could muddy the waters politically.  Trying to use the CR to curtail the abuses by ICE is laudable, but that strikes me as something that should happen through the budgetary process.  You just know the press are salivating over the chance to pillory the Democrats for the next shutdown.  You know fairandbalancedbothsides.
