I can think of at least 2 maybe 3 reasons that the GOP and Trump are ok with a shutdown for a month or more
This feels like kabuki theater

America First? LOL ... why not focus FIRST on keeping the US Government open Mr. President?
9. Gaza will be governed under the temporary transitional governance of a technocratic, apolitical Palestinian committee, responsible for delivering the day-to-day running of public services and municipalities for the people in Gaza. This committee will be made up of qualified Palestinians and international experts, with oversight and supervision by a new international transitional body, the “Board of Peace,” which will be headed and chaired by President Donald J. Trump, with other members and heads of State to be announced, including Former Prime Minister Tony Blair. This body will set the framework and handle the funding for the redevelopment of Gaza until such time as the Palestinian Authority has completed its reform program, as outlined in various proposals, including President Trump’s peace plan in 2020 and the Saudi-French proposal, and can securely and effectively take back control of Gaza. This body will call on best international standards to create modern and efficient governance that serves the people of Gaza and is conducive to attracting investment.
10. A Trump economic development plan to rebuild and energize Gaza will be created by convening a panel of experts who have helped birth some of the thriving modern miracle cities in the Middle East. Many thoughtful investment proposals and exciting development ideas have been crafted by well-meaning international groups, and will be considered to synthesize the security and governance frameworks to attract and facilitate these investments that will create jobs, opportunity, and hope for future Gaza.
Of course, a mention of tariffs:
11. A special economic zone will be established with preferred tariff and access rates to be negotiated with participating countries.
So, Trump says "beyond very close" to a Gaza peace deal... but he and Netanyahu don't want to take any questions right now
Hadn’t seen it mentioned here but the last 4-5 days multiple airports across the Nordic region have been shut down due to “drone activity”
Been a big deal in the news up there …
Yea... the current indictment isn't going cut it so throw some more BS out there! They'll eat it up!
With More Scrutiny, the Trump DOJ Indictment of Comey Gets Worse
The Trump Justice Department’s false-statement indictment against former FBI Director James Comey is so ill-conceived that the longer one analyzes it, the worse it gets. Plus, it is incoherently drafted, such that it fails to fulfill an indictment’s constitutional purpose; namely, to put the defendant on notice of what the government alleges he has done to violate the law.
I wonder why...
That woman has lost her ever lovin' mind over the past year or so.....
That Prager letter is obviously well written, and he sure seems sincere to me... I really don't know much about this Candace chick, but I'd guess she's been out of her mind for more than the last year... the recent (after Prager's letter?) "Kirk murderer innocence conspiracy" stuff just really shows how nuts she is.
Afghani's on to US trying to take back Bagram AFB? (China has weighed in and said they wont allow it?)
Geesh, seems like a high potential for a wide war everywhere you turn.

Countering Domestic Terrorism and Organized Political Violence
NATIONAL SECURITY PRESIDENTIAL MEMORANDUM/NSPM-7 MEMORANDUM FOR THE SECRETARY OF STATE THE SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY THE ATTORNEY GENERALwww.whitehouse.gov
Section 1. Domestic Terrorism and Organized Political Violence. Heinous assassinations and other acts of political violence in the United States have dramatically increased in recent years. Even in the aftermath of the horrifying assassination of Charlie Kirk, some individuals who adhered to the alleged shooter’s ideology embraced and cheered this evil murder while actively encouraging more political violence. This was preceded by the 2024 assassination of a senior healthcare executive and the 2022 assassination attempt against Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh. Two separate assassination attempts against my own life in less than 3 months took place during the 2024 Presidential election cycle.
Uh, Mr. President, your obviously one-sided list isn't complete (maybe no one will notice
):It was funny then, eh.
Does this feel a bit ominous? Who is he talking to here....

It's also fundamental the group of people not "getting helped" are already helped by only paying 3% of the burden. Some might call them grifters.
No harm, no foul.
Rachel Campos-Duffy Mocked The Hammer Attack on Paul Pelosi
FOXNews' Jesse Watters defends Pelosi Attacker
The label on both of these videos is very dishonest.
In the first one the reporting was transitioning from the awarding of a medal of freedom to the Pelosi attack, and Campos-Duffy made a dumb crack that maybe Pelosi should be awarded a hammer to defend himself, followed by a totally serious report of the incident. This being passed off as a moral equivalence to saying that a murder victim deserved it?
In the second one, Watters is questioning the two-tier justice system where the Pelosi attacker was being treated much more harshly than the perpetrators of similar crimes. He's not defending the attacker, he's demanding equal justice The title is simply a total lie.

Russia had a chance to make peace ..
should be clear Russia not coming to the Peace Table to smoke peace pipes without Tomahawks or equivalents ( Ukraine already has some good long range weapons, but needs better )
