yep, looks like it

Interesting, how’s everyone today

It’s late for me

Got done with some homework

Apparently there was a shooting earlier today

in other news, water is wet

I’m just slightly surprised that there was so little coverage

Usually they make a big deal about this stuff

it was in a bank so it may've been a hold up.

Ah, that makes sense

You can’t really turn a ball robbery into a gun control thing can you?

He’s just a run of the mill criminal

that's likely why they haven't spinned it

not even the cincinnati mayor tried to pull a gun control spin in his initial comments

Wow

Just infuriating.

"By Thursday night, however, Trump said he didn’t want to do anything to “hurt” Republicans before the midterm elections. He said he expects wall funding in the next Congress when he predicted Republicans would defy the odds and strengthen their ranks in the House and Senate."

guy has to work with them

I just don't understand how wall funding would hurt the Republicans?

You get one week of bad press after the government shutdown and you get the cornerstone of his entire campaign?

well it's not guaranteed to get wall funding

it's a risk

It'll hurt the Republicans not to do this. This is just a plain blunder honestly

to not get wall funding yeah

but shutting down the government and not getting wall funding at the same time = not good

This is an interesting segment

So it might not be the man himself but the other Republicans pressuring him into not shutting down

well yeah, that's exactly what it is

It is up to him.

Is Trump seriously getting bitched by the swamp?

Fuck the Republican leadership

He owns them

Exactly

He can fuck over all their re-elections in a heartbeat

I look at the Georgia Primary as an example of this

influencing primary elections is different from dealing with established politicians who have been in power for decades

@FLanon shutting down the government is a gambit

Come on. This is a prime opportunity, I don't know if he'll be able to get this chance after the midterms.

It'll *cause* Republican seats to be kept

Now it really is a matter of winning the midterms or nothing will get done.
