So who Torpedoed the Budget talks?

Couple of stories about a Collapse of talks post on news sites so far.

Did McConnell and Company do this in a effort to hitch his and others Careers to the Trump Titanic 2020 elections?

Or is this another distraction brought to us by those upstanding Mafia Members in the White House?

No matter what they agree on in congress, trump isn't going to like it. He "wants" to run on the wall crap, and I would be very surprised if he didn't keep on raising the goal posts in order to rally his racist base.

refuse to sign or veto immediately whatever bill gets sent to him. Just to show that he's in charge, he could inflict another week-long shutdown. And that even assumes Congress can agree on a bill to send him.

He loves to make people afraid. But I don't think the Republicans have any attention of repeating that disaster. I'm expecting the emergency declaration to come next.

None he would take - just need to beef up the fact that it's not US.

spinster Rethug game at play . Noticed Mulvaney spewing talking points,simply because he never was or is the sharpest tool in the shed, about the usual beat the crap out the Hispanic people and insult anyone who dares stand up to his Rethug friends.

they still have not gotten all their back pay. And as of today,the uncertainty hit home once again. Their Union Officals have not given direction one way or another. Sounds like it will be the Traffic Controllers who make the first move. They too did not get all their back pay and the kettle is boiling.

Raw Story says,Trump is using Twitter to justify his Shut Down via Executive action. Team Mueller or SDNY must be about to drop the Hammer on a Trumpian Klan member. Trying to spin the narrative and capture every news cycle once again.

react in a very negative way to this threat. If this Asshole does another shut down,we will see some real hurt put on the average person in this Country. Remember the Romney 47%,well they are getting smashed with the new Tax Codes,and the remaining 51% are going to be smashed by this Shut down if it happens.

Trump at the expense of destroying their Political Party for fifty years. Things worth watching,44 slugs being nominated for Judgeship's,China's Tariff rules about to kick in,Britain is about collapse because of Brexit,looks like the Saudi's are about to do something to take the heat off of MBS. Oh,Team Mueller must have some interesting memo's that could hit the Court Houses.

Trump is nightmare our Nations Founders warned us about.
