In Limbo

Fallout...what else can you call it?...reaction has been fast and furious...as the WALL surrounding Trump continues to collapse...as the latest departure, Mad Dog, sent shockwaves throughout Congress...listen, kids, this resignation perks the ears of the Republicans...in both sides of it...the Reps AND the Senators...

James Mattis, is the guy with the Mad Dog nickname...and has been a stabilizing factor in the regime...until now...he heard, like all of us, Trumps desire to pull the US troops out of Syria...he went in to meet with the bloke presently occupying the White House...to have him reverse course...delay his actions...giving him rationale and the reasons we have our military there...alas, his discourse went out the door, just as he did...gave his resignation because he could no longer support what Trump is doing...

Trump tried to save face, citing that Mad Dog was retiring, in yet another innocuous Tweet...Mattis would have none of that, and released his resignation letter...another slap in the face of Donny...oh yea, and the further de-escalation of troop presence abounds, with another 7,000 military to leave Afghanistan...which adds to the instability in the area...I guess...anyway, Russia is pleased with the Trump actions...you tell me, what's going on...

This trumped the situation of the week...Trump shutting down the Government if he doesn't get funding for his WALL...there was a package deal sent to him, yesterday...all sides felt it was a compromise that would work...many of Congress heard just that, and packed up and went home to their states...BUT...nope, he reversed his course, and REJECTED it...get back to DC...

The House reacted quickly and came forth with another proposal...passed the House, with the amount of cash that Trump wanted...on to the Senate it goes...to vote on today...hope they have a quorum...will take 60 of the 100 to pass it...and, the hot rumor is...NO!...expect a SHUT DOWN, kids...

The 3rd part of the week...the Mueller Report...and Trump's attempt to get it banned...have the acting AG to find a way to block whatever is in it...Russian Collusion?...as the past members of Trump's community are talking...to avoid prison time...more of that WALL crumbling...the word on the street, er, in the know, is that it will be released in mid February...

So, you see what is taking up the airwaves and the web net...expect today to be another doozy...actions, reactions, and we ALL watch in amazement...what else would you call it?...

Geez, I'm up at 3:11, like AM!!!...need sleep...
