Trump never was able to sell the public on the existence of an emergency at the border, perhaps because there isn’t one. Nor could he convince a majority that the wall was needed, perhaps because it isn’t. https://t.co/ylxeZTJqiZ

Did you notice Trump’s statement that he could’ve declared a national emergency but CHOSE not to do so “at this time”? Those words totally destroyed any ability he might’ve otherwise had to call Congress’s refusal to give him $5.7B for his wall in three weeks an “emergency.”

I’ll never understand how people this fucking stupid ever got elected to anything. This whole administration has been subverting the pillars of democracy for 2 plus years now and THIS is what will bring him down? Get the fuck out of here. https://t.co/JI7P2pVaBq

House Speaker Pelosi said the deal to reopen the government does not necessarily mean President Trump's State of the Union will take place next week. "What I'd said to the President is when the government is open, we will discuss a mutually agreeable date" https://t.co/0tq2bMplNO pic.twitter.com/GILI5G49cd

The head-shaking and teeth-gnashing even in GOP circles about the shutdown debacle is something to behold.

Former Trump WH official to me: "This was an unmitigated disaster for the president, who bled significant political capital in exchange for absolutely nothing."

The EU really represents a supremely rational moment in European history. To legally pool sovereignty in specific respects in order to forge a powerful alliance which recognises a profound, shared cultural inheritance. It has led to unprecedented peace, prosperity, & cooperation.
