Absolutely agree, and I think I used too few words and sent the wrong message. You're spot-on, fwiw

This is the best lens through which to view the shutdown dynamics. Dems tired of getting stuck with diaper duty.

The underwritten story of the shutdown to date is Dems learning how much fun it can be to play with bad faith arguments and nihilistic tactics.

The corollary to the above is Dems' simmering resentment over this presumption that they will be the responsible adults. Hall monitor party sick of the job.

Shutdown dynamic mentality a from one Senate Dem aide: “Their calculus was that Democrats would cave early without any negotiation from their end because we want ‘more government.’ But, as it turns out, they’re in power and we won’t fix their messes for them all the time”

Appropriations are *legislative* under the Constitution. *Military* funding in particular must stem from regular legislative deliberation (hence military appropriations may not extend beyond 2 years).

Private military funding brokered by the President = constitutional outrage.

Breaking News: The U.S. military accepted a private donation of $130 million to help pay troops during the shutdown. The move is highly unusual and a potential violation of federal law.

Trump to Use $130 Million Donation to Help Pay Troops

It is not clear how far the gift will go toward covering the salaries of the nation’s 1.3 million troops.

The destruction of the East Wing really bums me out in a way that I wasn't expecting.

I guess some of it is about the destruction of history. But I think it's mostly about the feeling of helplessness. There's nothing we can do to stop him.

Nobody is coming to save us. And it's going to get worse.

This is actually a perfect meme.

By the way - everything I ever sent you is off record. You're not a journalist so it's weird saying that but just letting you know.

As someone who gets told "you have to love your parents" when I mention that I needed to cut my mother off for my own mental well-being, no you don't.

That's an earned title. Being a parent isn't making a kid, it's raising a kid. This guy is not a father. He's just a selfish dick.

One of the underappreciated aspects of our dystopian present is that the most powerful union is the FOP. It's some bizarroland inversion; Debs and Mother Jones (et al) would absolutely burn it all down if they'd lived to see it

anyone who tunes in gets to see funny signs, joyful crowds and shit like “an enormous constitution being carried to the White House”

this is a crowd that loves America and wants it to be better
