I think EVERYONE, included the Kurds, found out via Twitter. :/

I couldn't help but notice that Putin expressed support for the withdrawal. Can trump talk to Putin without anyone else knowing?

And now this: Eric Trump suggests Ellen DeGeneres is running a shadow government to undermine his father

America, what is even happening?

Wait, so now it isn't Hilary comploting with the Russians anymore?

The Trump family are faster at changing the story than a badly written soap opera.

But of course... another conspiracy is what the US needs right now! There has to be something to divert the media away from the 'really strong steel fence' media statement his father made the other day that reminded me of a teacher reading a children's book to pre-schooler's... :wtf: And the steady outflow of ppl from the WH and the Pentagon...

The Latest: Democrats seek equal airtime after Trump speech

Here is the summary of the speech Trump will give Tuesday night: The Democrats are to blame, he will do something crazy, and then he won't, and then he will, and look - squirrel! I mean democrat! CNN will declare the world is ending, Trump is a liar, and Fox will declare Trump our savior, and we should all jump off the cliff with him. Trump will respond with a twitter war with Ellen Degeneres, and some kind of dangerous and nonsensical move on the world stage creating new problems threatening like war with Peru.

Now we can skip the word salad speechifying!

To the rest of the world: I am deeply sorry our nation produced and elected the Trump.

It's.. okay we accept that you alone were not responsible... :hilarious:

I am still struggling with how 3 million votes went to Trumps opponent and yet he prevailed??? I know you have the 'collage' system there... not sure what that means but THREE MILLION people wow!!

And.. how is it with the shutdown of government... the people who shut it down still get paid and even a pay rise? But everyone - not so?

I know, right?! No one in the US has given me any logical explanation for this.

 

[Ronin]

Cough... One could say it is the better scenario still though, as on political shenanigans, not on instilling massacres or genocides to cover their own uselessness and greed and give people the bigger problems.

 

[Justmehere]

True. Very true.

So the US Government has had a (at least) partial shut-down for about a month now? What's going to happen guys?

Is the President going to invoke executive orders to get the wall, fence, border... whatever? Can he even do that?

I'm assuming there are a lot of government employees that are really cheesed off with this situation right now. Views?
