What the media thinks about wars in the Middle East over the years:
2001-2008: War is the worst thing ever. We have no business interfering in the affairs of the Middle East. Our troops need to be brought home immediately! While we're at it, enjoy this footage of caskets with American flags draped over them.
2009-2016: *Snore*
2017-Today: Bringing troops home is akin to treason! It's what Putin wants! We need to have troops in the Middle East to bring stability to the region and fight terrorism!
Bush = Bad!!
Obama = Savior Jesus!!!!!
Trump = OMFG THE WORLD IS ENDING!!!!!!!!!!!
Its up to Paul Ryan to avoid the Trump shutdown, pass the clean CR that the Senate passed unanimously to keep the govt funded through January. The Senate is done, they bear no responsibility for this temper tantrum.

Kind of a pattern.
It was supposed to end Dec. 31 1999. Then again in 2012. And I'm sure in 2019 there is some comet that is supposed to destroy us all...we can only hope !
So, Trump shutdown is happening. Apparently Pence told lawmakers 1.6b for the stupid wall won't be enough, how does zero sound? Because that's whats on the table and its not changing. Dems are getting control of the House in 2 weeks regardless, so the Trump shutdown accomplishes nothing. The border wall is a dead idea. Should have focused on actual border security instead of a dumb fantasy.
More border agents, more technology, more immigration judges, more detention centers, those are all on the table, and are all way cheaper, safer, and way more reliable than a stupid wall that will never (and was never going to) be built. Its dead.
Lol, it would be nice if Trump had put the work in and illustrated the financial cost of his fantasy wall, but he never did, and Congress never took it seriously. As for voting to "remove it," that just happened. Dems take over in two weeks, and there will be no wall. This Trump shutdown accomplishes nothing, he had 2 years, he failed.
