Congressional Democrats: If You're Going To Stand Firm On Something During A Shutdown...

...you should stand firm for a Mueller protection bill. I couldn't give a rats ass about whether Trump gets money for a wall or not. The wall is a symbol of HIS faux masculinity, not yours. His entire reputation rests on building a wall. Your reputation does NOT rest on PREVENTING a wall. Sure it's a waste of money, but beyond that, who cares?

Taking a position on something just because your political opponents have taken the opposite position is a foolish trap we should let the Republicans fall into. The stupid wall is negotiable. A bill protecting the Mueller investigation is not.

If we're going to go into December and January with the federal government shut down, it should be over something WE consider to be important.

No deal on funding until Trump signs a bill into law PROTECTING THE MUELLER INVESTIGATION.


That's my two cents.

at the same time.

This is not, "You get one wish."

This is fucking governing.

They can, and must, do both.

Berlin type oppression

20 feet high
2 feet thick
Barbed wire
Razor blades

The wall was built
To keep them out
While keeping us
In goose-step parades

NOFX
Indifferent Drum
