My understanding is that Trump was doing some late night tweeting about giving the State of the Union in the house. So that was very much on his mind.
There were six Republican defections during the voting yesterday. One of those defections was Romney who is a potential leader of a Republican coalition against Trump. So with the Dems proved to have greater support in the senate over the shutdown issue than the Republicans, and the Republican defections could have been the beginning of a Republican insurrection.

I’m pretty sure he plans on doing it all over again in three weeks.

What? I just assumed that was a total coincidence. 😏

Trump administration allowing foster care agencies to discriminate against potential parents on a number of things, because the Trump Administration is a real piece of shit.

The Republican senators won't stand for it.
He may try to call a national emergency.
There would be organized resistance (ie TSA mass sick-out) and air traffic controllers would slow down the airports.
It was starting happen, (big air delays) and Trump knew it. He's really not in control of much.
The troops he sent to the boarder sat around and did nothing for weeks ... the "emergency" will be hard to demonstrate.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

I saw on the NBC Nightly News that Roger Stone has a tatoo of Richard Nixon's face on his back. No joke. You can Google it.
