Trump threatens shutdown in September after caving in May
Paper tiger: After agreeing to a budget deal that gives everything to liberals but nothing to conservatives, Trump today threatened to force a government shutdown in September when this deal expires.
President Donald Trump on Tuesday appeared to call for a government shutdown later this year in response to a bipartisan spending deal that looks set to pass Congress this week.
In tweets, the president contended that the agreement — which funds the government through Sept. 30 — shows that Republicans must get more senators elected or change the Senate’s rules so they can push spending through with only a majority vote, rather than 60. He then wrote that the country “needs a good ‘shutdown’ in September” to fix a “mess.”
The last sentence of the article tells it all, however: “It is unclear if Trump truly wants a shutdown, as he has often taken extreme positions on issues before backing off. “
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.

If a shutdown is good in September, why isn’t it good now?
Just listened to Mike Pence on Limbaugh reciting the talking points to convince conservatives of what a great deal this is. IMO Don’t piss on my leg and then try to tell me its raining!
When it comes right down to it, it looks like (title withheld) Trump got rolled. Not by the democrats but by the RINOs. But don’t be surprised when the democrats take a victory as soon as he signs it.
Does anyone know which congress rats were openly laughing at Trump when he said he was going to build the wall?
If it looks to conservatives that Trump got rolled for this deal He, and the republican party will be DONE!
Johnson said that if he lost Cronkite, he lost the nation. The same could be said today, If President Trump loses Limbaugh, he will lose his base. Thats what happened to “W”. When he started acting like a democrat, Limbaugh stopped praising him. He didn’t have to criticize. But whether it was consciously or not, people noticed.
But Speaker Ryan Mitch McConnel, and Reince Preibus better watch out. Supposedly, councillors who provide false council have there own -special- circle in hell.
I hope we will be dealing with individual budget bills in September, not a Continuing Resolution.
I’m not holding my breath, but it would be nice if Congress will do their job. Oh wait, the are going to be taking another recess.
Michael & PeterF– good stuff.
